Chattanooga, July 19.-(SpeciaD.- [ Trough was absolutely invincible in the pinches this afternoon and kalsomined
 the Lookouts 2 to Q, the Barons win
 ming the series
 He emerged from innumerable holes
 with persistency that exasperated the stands to the point of madness. Time after time the elongated right-hander populated the bases only to pull out unscathed through superb pitching and fielding When hits meant runs the Lookouts were as helpless as catboat in an East Indian hurricane.
 In the fourth and fifth the Look outs had men on third and second with one down, but in both instances their laborious efforts were absolutely fruit less.
 Jimmy Johnston led the Barons' as- sault with his third four-sacker in as many days. The ball took an aerial journey over the left field fence in the seventh Molesworth was banished in the fifth by Colli1ower.
 Sentell opened the fourth with a sim gle to center and raced to second on Murchs sacrifice. Elliott attempted to catch Paul with snap throw, but heaved wildly and sentell went to third. Rowdy's liberality unnerved Trough and he walked Northern. Elliott made a quick peg to McGil- vray to catch Hub off first and Sentell attempted to score, but a perfect re- lay from Big Bill killed him at the pan. Moran then flied out.
 Lister opened the fifth with a high pop to short right. Marcan and John- ston both got under the ball, but stood still in an Alfonso and Gaston stunt and allowed the weakling to go for two bases Lister was forced to hit the dirt at the keystone sack and the play was close. Molesworth expostulated with Colliflower so vociferously that he was
 banished from the fray, Yantz going to
 center. Higgins placed a perfect bunt | in front of the plate, but Lister got a
 slow start and Elliott forced him at
 third.
 Higgins, however, stole second and
 third in consecutive order. Again Rowdys liberality unnerved Trough and he walked Mil, the latter immedi-
 ately pllfered. With second and third
 occupied. however, both More and Le- juene failed, the former whiting, while the latter flied out to Johnston Yantz in center saved Trough in the seventh when he robbed Lister of a clean home run by a phenomenal catch
 of a terrific line drive.
 The Barons first tally came in the fifth as a gratuity from Sheldon Le- juene. McGilvray, first up, beat out a fast one to Mil. Johnston fouled to Moran and Elliott forced Big Bill at second.
 | Ellam then singled past first and
 when Lejuene allowed the ball to
 elude him, Roy raced to third, Rowdy scoring. The final tally came on John- l ston's homer in the seventh. 1 The Barons sauandered a beautiful opportunity in the eighth. Trough led
 with a heavy wallop to left-center for | two sacks. Marcan fouled out to Murch, however, trying to bunt. Phe- | Ian lined out to center. Yantz then walked and when More threw wildly to second to catch Trough mapping both runners advanced peg. Mcbride, how
 ever, grounded out, Murch to Lister.

 Outfielder Mayes left today for Gal weston. Tex, having been traded to that club. Mayes is a fast man in the field and is still the property of the Philadelphia National league team.
 Chattanooga Times: While more hits were made off Bert yesterday at An drews field than have been rode off several pitchers this season, his patch ing exhibition was by far the prettiest given by any opposing pitcher there this season. The hits were scratches and others were lucky. None of them came from real ability to solve the pitchers offerings.
 Some pitchers, are effective against some clubs; but Bert has been giving that sort of an exhibition against ev- erybody's old club for the great part of the present rag chase.
 Montgomery Journal: If the present slump continues a day or two more it is up to Manager Dobbs 10 strengthen too.
 A couple of outfielders who can bat. A first baseman who can hit the ball. A relief catcher who can also swat, and perhaps 8 new shortstop would aid wonderfully.
 Atlanta Georgian: If Atlanta finishes absolutely last, hopelessly distanced and utterly out of it, Otto Jordan will, nevertheless, stand out as the bravest figure Tn the Southern league.
 He is fighting a grand fight, even if he loses.
