LOOKOUTS BEAT
LOCALS BY THE
SCORE OF 4TO2
PENsAcoEAs ERRED AT cRITI-
ctAL PERIODS AND WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF cHAsTANT,
COULD NOT SOLVE DELIVERY
OF VISITING TWIRLERs.

Pensacola did remarkably well
against the Chattanooga team of tie
Southern League in their game yes
terday, holding them to the small score
OF to 2.
The visitors are a husky set Of
players, some of them being well over
two hundred pounds and when COM
pared to the locals, who are prac-
tically all under the average size, they
seemed much larger than they really
are.
Chattanooga used three pitchers,
each twirling three innings and all
being equally effective More, who
pitched the last three innings, how
ever, was as wild as a March hare in
his opening round. passing the first
three men to face him, but he set
tied down after that and pitched gilt
edge ball. Stewart was on the hill
for the locals, and while hit rather
freely, was tight in the pinches, err
rors Of his team mates figuring largely
IN every run scored.
Nothing Of moment happened until
the fourth. Moran opened inauspic-
iously by fouling out to third. Ba-
lenti, however, singled to center and
Bunting worked Stewart for the only
pass he issued during the contest
forcing Balenti up a notch. Gray
slammed a single to FOlmer's terri
tory, but the sphere eluded Robert,
Balenti and Bunting registering and
Gray romping around to third before
the pill could be run down and re-
turned to the inheld. Smith raised a
little pop to Graham but Hannah
singled past third scoring Gray Big
Bill Chappell drove liner against
the right field wall. but was thrown
out trying to take second on the hit.
Another tally was hung up in the
sixth without the aid of hit. Balenti
rolled to Graham who tried to field
it with his chest, and Balenti was safe
at the initial sack He promptly
thieved second. Bunting Topped to
Folmer but Gray hit a high bounder
toward third which Stewart bungled,
the bali rolling off, and Balenti who
had gone to third on the hit, set sail
for home. Graham retrieved and
pegged home but Hauser dropped it
and Balenti counted.
Pensacola had a fine chance in the
first After Graham and Folmer had
anqihiliated the atmosphere, Hauser
straaled and on the hit-and-run play,
Chastant drove to right, Hauser TAX
ing third and Chastant second on the
throw to catch Hauger. A hit here
would have been most acceptable but
the best Gordon could do was a gentle
grounder to Balenti who plucked him
at first
Graham got as far as second in the
third on his Texas Lacquer and a
passed ball and Chastant in the fourth
En oh cin ola
and Bars error but the succeeding
batsmen were not there with the ash.
The sixth, however, was more pro-
ductive Folmer was punctured by a
pitched ball and ambled down to
second on a wild pitch. Coveleski, in
trying to catch him off the sack,
heaved to center and Folmer came all
the way home. Hauser was disposed
of from short to first, but Chastant
came through with his third hit of the
day, a single to right. He stole second
but was left stranded when Gordon
breezed and Griffin grounded weakly
to first.
Coveleski gave way to More in the
seventh, who was in a most generous
mood He issued transportation Ia
Haley. Sanchez and Stewart in rapid
succession, and the general aspec;
from a Pensacola standpoint, was con-
siderably brighter. This brought Ora
ham up, and Graham, who is generally
a good waiter and on this occasion
had every reason to wait on account
os the pitchers wildness, hit the first
ball pitched to center field, Haley scor-
ing on the throw in. Folmer after
fouling several, let good one pass
without wriggling his slap stick and
Hauser ended 1t with foul fly to first
which Barr gathered in. More tight
ened up after this inning and the only
other man to reach first was Roach
who drove a hard grounder between
first and second in the ninth.
Roach was not feeling well and was
out OF the lineup, and Chastant played
the bag for him.
Chastant's pick up and throw OF
Morgan's bunt in the first was the
fielding feature and he also starred al
the bat, getting three of Pensacola
Gs-.
