Chattanooga, July s.-(Special.)- )--In a beautifully executed plays, the LooSouts took the Poles measure this afternoon
 Both Covaleski and Schlitzer pitched finely and but for a moment of wildness by the former in the first inning the clubs might have been playing yet
 The Barons had but two real oppor- tunities to score. These came in the fourth and ninth innings and on each occasion 1t befell Emery to hit and win the game or allow the Lookouts their first victory over the Pole. Two weak infield grounders were the best that he could glean off Schlitzers masterful pitching. Emery was no more a vic- tim of the Splitter than seven of his teammates. With the exception of Me- Bride none of the Barons could find the Lookout twirler, and they were ab- mingham left fielder had his batting eye in order and in four trips to the plate he smashed out three corking hits, one of which got away from McLaurin and went for two bases. It was a great day for Mcbride.
 Two Scratch Hits
 At the same time Covaleski was work ing In his usual Chattanooga form. .' He had everything and the two hits scored of him were of the scratch order. The first was made by Perry in the in- fttal inning. It was a hard line drive which hit at Emery's feet, took sharp l~4~ L.. Ix-oo k nx.J bouncing off to one side. Cleaner and faster fielding might have turned it into an out, but the ball was hit so hard and bounded so peculiarly that 1t could not be scored an error. The other hit was by Higgins, the new catcher, who caught Covafes1xi and Emery iat-footed, and laid down a beautiful bunt on the third-base line.
 The real feature of the game was the clever all around work of Dock John- ston. He scored the only run of the game while attempting q daring steal home, cut of a run at the plate with a line throw from right-center and made four catches in the outfeld, two of which were really sensational.
 CovaIeski Was Wild
 After the Barons had been retired in one, two, three order, the Pole opened up on the Lookouts by causing Collins to poke a weak grounder to the rife pit, and flaming Mc1aurin. He then made the fatal mistake of pinking Johnston and Lister in the ribs. Perry followed with the iudeld hit to third which has already been described With the bases tammed and two strikes called on Mo- Mahon, Johnston started home when Cov- alesid raised his arm to pitch. He had the base clearly stolen, and although tho ball was low and on the outside Mo- Mahon struck at It. It passed Elliott and rolled off a few feet "Rowdy" made a quick recovery and begged perfectly to McGilvray but the big fellow dropped it and Johnston>s score counted. After that Chattanooga never had chance to score unless it was In the second inning, when Higgins led off with his safe bunt. was sacrificed to second, where he stayed while Collins and McLAurin flied out to the outfeld. The Pole was not touched for even the semblance of a hit after that. and. in fact. only two balls were sent to the outfield.
 In the fourth Mcbride secured the first hit of the game for the Barons by lining over second base, and when the bal took a bad hop past McLaurin he stretched 1t into two-basger. McGilvray was pur- posely walked and Emery grounded weak ly to second.
 In the seventh Mcbride, first up. sin gled over short and was sacrificed td second. Emery popped a low fly to Lister and Ellan grounded to schlitzer.
 McGfIvray Couldn't Deliver
 The Barons pulled off game rally in the ninth, and gave the crowd a danger ous case of heart disease. With every body roofing for a victory and one out. Molesworth worked 6chlitzer for pass and Mcbride tore loose his third hit. The two advanced base on passed ball but the best McGilvray could do was high fly back of second, which McMahon cared for Some of the Birmingham rooters criticized Molesworth for not attempting to score on the play, for Emery, next up, grounded slowly to short and was thrown out with great ease.
 Thus ended one of the best games ever played in this city.
