BABE HITS HOME RUN,
 TRIPLE, DOUBLE, SINGLE
Wade And Carlyle Hit In Fourteenth Consecu-
 tive Game, But That Is About All They Do

Emerging from a general pitchers slump which had, for the past two days, tangled the nerves of the spectators, Arthur Olsen, right-hand curve ball artist. came back Friday, after being driven off the mound by the Chicks Thursday, and set the Memphis crew on their ears. The Barons won, s to I. For eight innings Olsen pitched with only three Chicks getting measly singles and but two men reaching second base. In the ninth a couple more hits, one q triple, accounted for the lone Memphis tally.
 It was q beautifully pitched ball game and a brilliant one. Olsen kept eternally in the lead of the Chicks. In- vaHably the first two balls pitched by the local curver swung over the plate. Many times the batters watched the balls pass while Steamboat Johnson called them. The Baron hurler used many curves and great control. His change of pace was, also very effective.
 The Bambino Is Back
 Then Babe. Ganzel came back. After four or five days of absence due to an attack of influenza, the Baron out fielder-clean-up man again performed, and he cleaned up. On his first trip up he hit the ball against the left field fence for a home run. On his second trip she smashed one down the groove for a double. When he appeared the third time he slammed one to right for three. On his fourth and last trip he hit long single to right which only fast fielding held to one-base hit. Ganzel played in right field and covered the new territory splendidly. 2 Despite the meagre hitting of the Chicks and the stinginess of Olsen, there were two Chickasaws who refused to stay down. Bob Carlyle and Wade. fighting to maintain their string of consecutive games to hit in, succeeded. These two Chick hitters obtained one each of the first three safeties. Wade, after striking out on his first time up, singled on his second appearance ard ran his string of games up to If. Car lyle singled the first time he was at bat and ran his string up to 14. Car lyle, however, later hit triple and was the only visitor to get over one hit.
 The Barons hammered Rogers hard for six innings before he was relieved by Blume at the start of the seventh. The Baron tallies were scored on clean hitting. In the collection of knocks
 
 and three doubles.
 Tommy Hits One
 Gleason and Taylor, former Baron third baseman, were the only two Chickasaw hitters, outside of Carlyle and Wade, to hit safely. Taylor, who topped the Southern league hitters last week, will probably not grace the pinnacle when the next statistics are issued. He was l.. Al q lr..G hitless and went through Thursdays game, amid all the hitting of the Chicks, hitless. Friday he obtained one lone safety out of four tries. Three times he flew out at Jeanes in left field. Carlyles triple was a terrific drive to the Southern league scoreboard which Howard Camp backed up against to get but was unable to reach.
 Tex Jeanes had big day in the field, incidentally, for six Chickasaws expired as their efforts dropped into his glove. Petey Brausen played nice fielding game at third, knocking down on a drive which seemed labelled for two bags, and getting his man q first. He handled several other hard chances well. Barbare made a nice bare-handed stop of low drive which looked like two bags.
 The game was a pretty contest un- til the Barons mussed it up in the fourth. Rogers sailed along smoothly turning Barons down in order, with the exception of Cancels Interruption, during the first three innings. How ever, the slugging crew of the Stewards smashed the Chick hurler's playhouse from the jump in the fourth.
 Stewart Starts It
 Stewart started it with single. Barbare stopped his low drive down the third base line barehanded and held him on first. Rhode sacrificed him to second. Ganzel then hit high short fly to left field and Wade failed to reach it. It went for two bases. Stewart, however, had pre- viously got caught in chase on the third base path and went out. Camp singled to center and Ganzel scored, Camp taking second. Jeanes hit one to Lamotte and beat it out at first. Camp pulled a daring piece of base running to score from second. Hart ford tripled to the right field fence and Jeanes scored. Robertson flew out to Wade.
 Olsen started another rally in the fifth when he dropped double just in- side the right field foul lines. Brau- sen laid down a pretty sacrifice to get him to third. Stewart hit a slow grounder to LamOtte and he played the ball home for Olsen who slid and was called safe on close play. The Chick players protested. Ganzel drove grounder through Carlyle in right for three bags and Stewart scored. Rhode had flied out to Wade previously and Camp ended the frame by grounding out.
 Blume started the seventh for the Chicks and Brausen, first up, grounded out. Stewart walked and advanced on Rhodes infield out. Stewart stole third and scored on Cancels single to right. Camp poppedNup to Blume. .iIn the eighth Jeanes was safe when Gleason muffed his grOunder. Hart ford sacrificed him to second. Robert son hit a grounder to LamOtte and he slipped in attempting to throw to third for Jeanes and all hands were safe. Then Jeanes and Robertson put on a double steal. Both were safe but Kohlbecker threw wild to second trying to get Robertson and the ball went to center field while Robertson went to third. Olsen was thrown out at first by Blume and Brausen grounded out to Barbare.
 In the ninth the visitors scored one
