enemy, Kelly easily outpitching his

opponents is taken into considera-
ton. Only four hits were dubbed from
his system, while eight batsmen were
turned back on strikes.
Manager Peake gave his team q
complete shakeup. Roach, who was
slightly indisposed Wednesday, was
back in the lineup, being shifted TO

right field. Roach was showed up in
the batting order to lead-off man.

dropped to sixth place.

by Graham and Gray ended the agony
with roller to Griffin.
Chattanooga was retired in order in
the second and third acts, al
though Coyle threw a scare into the
fans when he poled liner over the
fence in the third, said liner, much to
the locals satisfaction, being foul a
couple of inches, but in the fourth the
visitors again busted into the run

hit, Balenti was out on a pop to third,
but Bunting grounded along the first
base line, being safe when Kelly, VINO

Kelly was generous in the slxtn'
hit and two passes filing the cushions
with one out, but he arose to the &C
casion and retired Gray on strikes
while Smith looped to Folmer.
Roach opened Pensacola's half OF
the first with a walk. Folmer forced
him at second, but was safe on the
