Where They Play Today
Mobile at New Orleans.
Nashville at Memphis.
Covaleski pitched nine innings against
the Chattanooga Lookouts yesterday aft
ernoon without yielding hit.
But In view of his own wildness, an err
ror of ELAN at critical moment, some
weak heaving by Ryan, and Emery's lack
of energy and watchfulness he came very
near losing.
The final score was to 3, and the
Barons won by driving Siever in confu-
sion from the hill and smashing Demaree,
who succeeded. into practically every cor
ner of the field.
In addition to the superb twirling of
Covaleslki, there were other brilliant fea-
lures to the game. Mcbride made catch
off the stick of Higgins in the fourth in
ming, Immediately afterward doubling
Lister at first, which was sensational to
an extreme degree. This catch made 1t
possible for the Baron HEAVIER to establish
f1o-hit record, and cut off, possibly, a
run or two. Then, Messengers hitting
started the Barons to scoring and put the
fans in the seventh heaven of delight.
Amid the numerous bits of poor playing.
there was an occasional flash of brillian-
cy-all of which served along with the
free hitting of the Barons to make the
fans enjoy themselves.

who would have offered 30 cents for the
Bar6hs' chance of victory would have
been dispatched post haste to the bug
house.
But after Marcan had gone out in the
first, Messenger hit to deep right, the ball
striking the fence. The runner checked
himself on third, and Molesworth scored
him with Texas Lacquer to right. Nc
Brides single sent the manager to Sec
ond, and McGilvray smashed one to deep
left. But Molesworth, poorly coached at
third, stopped a moment and then started
on an unfortunate journey to the pan.
He was killed with ease. Mcbride went
to third and McGilvray to second on the
play, but Ryan failed to deliver.
The fans at this time were exceedingly
sore and commented loudly on the fact
that without the semblance of a hit, Chat
