CONTINUED from Page One),

played a wonderful game for the team
here today. He fielded his position in
great style and smacked the apple at
merry rate. His first entry in the hit
column was smashing two Dagger
that trailed the right field foul line.
He started the third inning with this
blow. He came back in the fourth in
ming and started it with a single after
the team had batted around in the
third. He contributed three runs to the
Barons total, and got three hits out
of five tries.
To Camel. youngest of the Baronial
Qutfield trio, goes the honor of crash
ing the first ball over the fence for
the Stewards. Coming up in the sixth
with two men on base he slammed the
agate over the left field wall and
strolled around the bags. On his next
trip. up he hit the pill over the wall
again, but it was foul by about three
feet. Errors by Chattanooga fielders
counted heavily against the team and
the pitchers received but poor support
from their team mates.
Several Nice Catches
Five errors by infielders put the
twirlers in the hole many times and
fall. The Barons, on the other hand,
played a good brand of baseball and,
despite the poor playing condition of
the field, fielded without error. Camp
and CAMEL made a couple of pretty
catches in the outfield, while Hartford
played good game at Short, in spite
of the mud.
The Barons scored first in the second
inning when Camel was walked at the
start and Hartford followed with sin
gle. Robertson went safe and Camel
scored him when Johnny Bates erred
on his grounder. Red Bates laid down
pretty sacrifice and advanced Hart
ford and Robertson, Roe throwing him
out at first. Baruson walked, filling
the bases. Stewart grounded to short
and Niehaus missed the throw at first,
Hartford scoring. Howard Camp forced
Robertson at the plate and Jeanes was
thrown out at first by Ring, ending
the inning.
Everybody Bats
The third was the big inning for the
Barons and every man in the lineup
got time at bat. Knode started it
with his two-hRgger and Camel fol-
lowed with single. Hartford singled
but Knode was held on third. This
filled the bases. Pop Robertson hit a
clean single over second and Knode and
Camel crossed the pan. Red Bates
struck out, but on Brausen's grounder,
Bates threw to second to get Robert
son and Ring missed the throw, all
hands going safe. Stewart hit a sac
rifice fly to left field, Hartford scoring,
although the throw to the plate seemed
to be in plenty of time. Kress lost the
ball and Bruse slid home safe. How
ard Camp doubled to right field and
Robertson and Brausen scored. Jeanes
hit terrific drive to center field, but
after a pretty run Pennington got
under the fly and bagged it. One more
run was scored in the fourth inning
when Knode led off with a SINGLE He
was caught off first and in the chase
Ring hit him in the back and
the ball bounded out to the right field
bieachers, Knode going to second. He
stole third and scored on wild pitch.
Three More Counters
Three more counters came in the
sixth when Jeanes and Knode started
the inning with singles and Babe Can
Eel rode the ball out of the park. The
next three men went out in order.
This finished the, scoring for the day
for the visitors, although they threat
ened in the seventh and ninth. Three
of the "Noogans' scores came in the
fifth. Leonard opened with a double
to right and Bandrimer followed with
a single. Rings Single scored Leonard,
but Kress went out to Knode unas-
sisted. Camp came through with a
single and Bandrimer scored. Pen
nington struck out, but Johnny Bates
hit, scoring Ring. Red Bates struck
out the next man, Niehaus.
In the eighth inning one more run
was scored. Niehaus opened with a
single for Chattanooga but was forced
at second by Anderson. Hits by Leon
ard and Bandrimer and sacrifice fly
to Camp by Ring scored Anderson.
The Look0uts showed up not SO well
IN their opening encounter, but the
