Chattanooga, August 22.-(Special.)- i Molesworths gallant pennant aspirins Barons suffered a double and bitter loss this afternoon. The first draught from the cup of woe consisted of the receipt of a coat of kalsomine at the hands of Rube Benton in to alter cation while the second was the loss of Jimmy Johnstons services for the remainder of the season as the result of being struck behind the ear by pitched ball from the hands of Rube Benton. The strickened fielder was car ried from the field while Yantz moved over to right garden and Molesworth went to center.
 Benton was in brilliant form, al- though a trife wild, and the willow yielding Barons were absolutely help less before him in the pinches. Bril- liant fielding by the locals must be credited also in accounting for the Barons' coat of kalsomine, as three fast double plays were perpetrated by the Lookouts in spite of their frequent, but costly boobies.
 Foxen appeared upon the mound of the invasion, but showed few symp- toms of effectiveness. only the eager ness of the locals in getting after the wide ones saved him from a defeat more decisive.
 The Lookouts' first tally came in the very opening stanza. Northern, first up, secured free transportation and as usual this method of procedure was dis ip - field sacrifice down the third base line, but neither Foxen nor Phelan fielded the ball, and the dump went for q safety. Sentell followed with another intended act of self-immolation, but Foxen fumbled and the bases were in- toxicated. But this was not the last exhibition of Foxen's generosity, for he forthwith pinked Murch in the dorsal regions and Hub was forced across. With the bases full and one man over and none down it appeared that a nina ture cloudburst was impending, but Moran hit into Foxen's hands and a fast double to Elliott and McGilvray re- suited. Mil whiffed
 In the fourth came the two remain mainder. More first up, singled to cen ter. Benton whiffed Northern followed with an easy out at the 1dnuS OI HHe- Ian and McGilvray, but Higgins beat out another scratch down the third base line
 Foxen then pinked Sentell with wild one, and the sacks were again intoxi- cated. Murch singled to right and More and Higgins tallied. Sentell was out at third, however, trying to take two bases on the single.
 The Barons' most ominus threat t came in the second stanza. McBride, first up, was safe on Nill's error. Mc- Gilvray attempted to sacrifice, but Ben ton forced the left fielder at second. Johnston then received his terrific blow. and Speer. running for him, went to the initial sack. Benton caught McGilvray mapping off second, but the sight of the blood from Johnston's ear so unnerved him that he walked both Elliott and Ellam, filling the bases. Foxen famed, however, in the pinch.
 A fast double robbed the invaders again in the fourth. Mcbride was safe again. first up, on Nills error, but Mc- Gilvray popped out to Murch, attempt ing to bunt, and a double play on the leftfiedder resulted. Molesworth and Elliott then singled in succession, but Ellam whiffed in the pinch as had done Foxen.
 In the eighth Phelan, first up, beat out bounder to Murch and Mcbride singled to center, sending him to sec : ond, but again a double play blasted the Barons' chances, Murch forcing Phelan at third on McGilvray's bounder, and doubling the runner at first.
