VOLS BEAT STEWARTS
 IN THIRD GAME, 60
Jimmy Keenan Holds Lo- calls Helpless By Splen-
 did Pitching Friday

It was not a matter of pitching on the part of Birmingham's mound art ists Friday which decided the tide of battle in the third game of the Nash vile series, but rather the effective work of the Volunteer moundsman. The Vols won, to 0. Dimunitive Jimmy Kee- nan, late of San Antonio, of the Texas league, flung a wicked southpaw ball against the efforts of the Baron batters and their ashen sticks were useless His performance, in which he gave up fsix hits, was one of the best pitched games at Redwood this season, and only rivaled by Pug Cavet's left-hand per formance against the Barons here ear Her in the year.
 The Barons misery-dealing double southpaw fingers, were held helpless by the wee Nashville twirler. Up to the ninth inning he had given up four hits, Garter having two of them. How ever, in the ninth two more safeties were copped off the opposing hurler in desperate rally to stave off shutout, but their two hits went for naught for a double play ended the game.
 Pitching Insignificant
 The fact that Jones and Carter fared poorly on the mound for the Barons were insignificant details, for the best of pitchers could have done no better than hold the score a little closer. Jones went bad in the second and was hoisted with Carter supplanting him, but Car ter was touched up in the fifth for a trio of hits and one or two safeties along ever so often.
 The Bartons' misery-dealing double IL .l times. Three double killings were pull ed by the locals, while a pair more very nearly reached completion.
 Lundgren Obtained
 Close on the heels of the announce ment that the local club had obtained Rufus Clarke, brother of Stump, a re- lief pitcher for Detroit, came the an- nouncement Friday afternoon that Del mar Lundgren, who pitched for. Flint, of the Michigan-Ontario league last year, had been obtained by the Barons from Pittsburg and would report to the club Sunday or Monday in Chattanooga. Lundgren worked in 38 games last year for Flint, winning IS and losing 14. Lundgren struck out 13S men and walk ed 9S while with Flint.
 Clarke was expected to report Fri udy IO IO6 HeF0 put ldllcu lO rive He was expected to come in dur ing the night, however. He will pitch Saturdays game if he is in shape, and the Barons have been assured that this is the case. However, if he does not work Arthur Olsen will likely twirl. The Vols will likely use Enzman or Ketchum, or possibly Bird, in the game Saturday.
 Vols Open Up
 The Vols started counting early in Fridays contest and scored three runs in the second. After Graf was thrown out by Hartford on a wonderful play, Wagner singled. Hartford threw Mack ey out at first on another beautiful play, but Keenan was walked. Murray singled and scored Wagner. Lebour- veau walked. Fisher singled to right, scoring Keenan and Murray. Lebour- veau went out at the plate when he and Fisher attempted a double steal. Car ter took the box after Fishers single and was pitching to Griffith when the inning was ended.
 Nashville Scores Again
 In the fifth the Vols scored a pair more. Murray opened with a double and Lebourveau hit a triple down the right field foul line, scoring Murray. Fisher struck out, but Griffith singled to score Lebourveau. Hawks hit a line drive to Brausen and Griffith was caught before he could get back to second.
 The final counter came in the ninth when Murray hit triple to the score board and scored on Lebourveau's in- field out.
 Carter led the hitters for the Bar ons with two out of three. Murray had perfect day, getting a triple, double and two singles out of four times up.
