 Chattanooga at Nashville.
 Had the Barons remained as firm be- hind Kent al the Pelicans behind Klawit- ter. there would have been three sensa- tional games in the Southern league yes terdaX afternoon.
 As it was, however, the Pelieans, with comparative ease, won the victory of a pitchers battle, in which neither of the artillerists excelled the other. The score was 90
 If there was a shade between the work of the two fingers it. is probable that Kent deserves that advantage. He gave fewer hits, fewer bases on balls, hit fewer men and struck out more than his adversary. But Klawitter's work was gilt edge, and the Barons could not have scored without the assistance of an error.
 Each of the runs scored by the Pelicans is traceable to a Baron nliscue. On the other hand the Pelicans not only gave Klawitter perfect support, but they went out of their way to knock down boun- der. or draw in a fly about to escape. The visitors, in other words, displayed that brand of vim and dash which gave the Barons the victory Monday afternoon and which generally throws the balance in hard fought battles.
 The visitors got away in the first in- ming. w. Johnston opened with a lus- cious wallop to center. Barr sacrificed him to second, and was safe himself when Marcan dropped the throw to first. Manush attempted a bunt, but Johnston was killed at third. Then Barr and Manush, in the most improved style, stole third and second, displaying enough brli- liance to throw weak-kneed finger in deep despair. But Kent settled down, and had his support thereafter been good, no round would have counted. Callahan drew a pass, filling the bases. and put ting the play to the plate. Kirk smashed to Ellam, and Ellam, to the surprise Of al, threw to first, and Barr was not forced at the plate. Angiermier went out from Phelan to McGlvray.
 Luck broke with the Pelicans in the third. w. Johnston opened with walk, and Barr pulled a floating Texas leaguer over first, one of those teasing, lingering bingles which permits runner to cover a mile of ground. Johnston went to third. Barr went out attempting to steal, but when Ellam booted the drive of Manush, Johnston counted. Callahan then smashed a screamer to right, and Manush counted.
 In the first inning J. Johnston went out at the plate, attempting a double steal with McGilvray. Thereafter the Barons had but one respectable chance to tally. In the fourth, with two down, McBride beat out a hit to short, and Yantz bingled to center. Ellam's walk filled the bases. Kent, who is a good hitting pitcher, failed to hit in this emergency. He struck out. Thereafter, the fans simply waited for the end, thrilled at time by the good work of the rival slabmen.
