Harrison shot two birdies on the final nine, one on tho 12th and another on the 14th, to break out of a tie with George Fazio of Washington, D. C. Those two holes made the dif ference.

Sets High Standard Purkey set a high standard in the first four innings. He issued only three scattered walks, and slapped a second inning single that drove 'in the game's only run. Purkey, who last season pitched for Davenport, Iowa, had a beautiful curve working, and Nashville batters felt more hope ful when fast-ball Pettit came on in the fifth. They shouldn't have. It was the third time Pettit had appeared in a professional baseball game. In his first start for New Orleans on March 25, against Indianapolis, he dished out one run, four hits and three bases on balls in three innings. The pirates gulped, and praised his "poise." No Complaint Last week against Atlanta. Pettit in three innings allowed three hits and two bases on balls. But he struck out three and gave no runs. Yesterday the weather was neither too hot (his first exhibition worry) nor too cold (his second complaint) and powerful Paul started whipping them in. Through the fifth, sixth and seventh innings Nash ville batters could -perceive nothing at all to be hopeful about. Then in the eighth, Pettit walked two men. He got one out, but had runners advanced to sec ond and third. Pettit heaved a neat doubleplay ball, saw his in field carry the twin kill out, and walked peacefully to the dugout.
