LOOKOUTS LOSE
 TO COLU MBUS
SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE.

Columbus, Auril 2.-(Special) )lThat there is a difference between playing ball under the shadow of Lookout mountain with Tennesseans cheering on to victory and handling the bat under Georgia skies was shown this afternoon when Chatta- noga was defeated by Columbus to 6. Twelve hundred bowling dervishes saw the game which shrunk the Lookouts' percentage from four to three figures, shattering the three fine, fat ciphers that have been the envy of every other town in the Sally league. Radabaugh, Co., lumbus new pitcher, was in the box, and did excellent work after the first in- ming. Chattanooga made five runs in the first inning on costly errors, the locals going all to pieces. Mckenzie and Helm umpired the game. the regular indicator handler not having arrived. Calling a ball foul in the fifth inning when 1t brought two Columbus men in was regarded by the crowd as a gross error it having ap- parently been a clean hit, and on the other hand in the eighth inning when the locals made their rally, a close and probably erroneous decision by the um- pire gave them two runs. Score:

WORDSWORTH HAS
 BOUGHT MANUEL

Yesterday morning Birmingham closed a deal for Moxie Manuel. Moxie, as every fan remembers, was with New Orleans season before last. He then ranked with Wilhelm, Teller, Breitenstein or any other in the league.
 He Is as good a pitcher as there is in the league today.
 The purchase price was $1000
 Moxie was given little chance with the White Sox last season. But at that he is credited with more victories than de- feats.
 The new Baron is well known in the south. He has speed, control, a fine curve, and a great spit ball" Further- more, he can sting the ball on the nose, and, as is remembered, Charlie Frank often used him in the New Orleans out field
 And there is other good news to be related at another period. The associa- ton is strengthening without awaiting the time of slumping.
 Manuel is expected to report right away.
