Nashville at Montgomery.
 Big Dave Roth demonstrated that hc draws his monthly stipend for something more than pitching. While the big spit ball heaver held the Lookouts to six seat tered hits, the populace did not marvel. But Roth slashed out two of the most telling sashes of the afternoon with men perched upon the hassocks and virtually won his own game Roland Howell, graced with all his length and speed. could not pass muster and was driven from the mound. Moose Mccormick dispatched Lefty Ross a new south paw, to check the fusillade and was grati- fled to witness a series of four innings that was bereft of hits or runs.
 But for two mighty slams, Howell might have scored a victory. His op- posing moundsmand, Dave Roth, effected the blooie-blooie stuff and crushed his heart. In the second the Baron finger doubled to the scoreboard and scored El- lam with the first run. In the fourth, with two out and Covington on second the big moundsman tripled to the center field groove and scored "Tex" with what proved to be the deciding run.
 Six scattered hits were amassed by the Chattanooga team. Big Bill Jacobson prevented a shut-out, for in the last in- ming he opened the session with triple and scored on an infield out Roth was not possessed with wonderful speed or curves but kept the ball on the corners of the plate and used good judgment. Howell was hit timely and driven from the slab yielding to Ross, a newly ac- quired southpaw. Ross blanked the Bar- without a safe drive.
 MOley Gets Into Game Manager Molesworth was injected into the fray and played in ld-time form Moley scored two hits and made circus | catch that recalled the days of yore when l he was considered the most sensational fielder in the Southern. The flop" was missing, but the same individual crouch was there. Roy Ellam scintillated at shortstop. accepting 10 chances without the semblance of an error and controvert- ing several seeming safe hits into easy outs.
 Howell escaped the first inning withou. yielding a run. although the bases were filled with Baron runners when Coving- ton grounded out for the third put-out.
 Ellam was given pass in the first and advanced to second when Wallace bunted deftly to Howell Roth took two futile swings before he swatted the third strike to the scoreboard and dispatched EIlam home. Marcan struck out and Moles- worth grounded to Howell, retiring the | side
 I Disposing of the Lookouts in the first 1 four rounds without difficulty, Roth decided that the one run lead was too lean and again blandished his cudgel. covington. after working Howell for 3-2, was hit in the ribs with a mis- placed slant. Ellam sacrificed the first sacker to second. Johnston was forced to race at top speed to overhaul Wal lace's long drive to left field, but the speedy gardener effected the feat and held Covington at second. Then Roth, the Terrible. larruped line drive in the groove between center and left field for three bags and enabled Tex to score. A perfect relay-Johnston to Caveny to Graff--prevented the big twirler from speeding home. Marcan who had whiffed on his first two ap-
 
 drive over third base for two bags and scored Roth.
 Rally Prolonged
 A freak break of luck prolonged the rally. Molesworth hit a slow groundel down the first base line that hovered along the border.
