 Roth not ony had the stuff in buging quantities, but also knew how to pitch, and carried free and easy motion minus the tearing strain,' was the way he described the big fellows offerings. Roth will be sent in against the Lookouts and if he shows as much stuff, should score his first victory.
 Encouraged by the showing of Harry Holland. formerly of the Geor- gia Tech team, Billy Smith has signed Kid" Collier, another Tech product. Collier was signed by Wash ington early in the spring and was farmed to the Des Moines club in the Western league. There he failed to deliver and was returned. Smith, having seen him in action. decided that he would prove a winner with Atlanta and signed him.

FREDDIE WELSH IS GIVEN DECISION IN
 BOUT WITH RITCHIE

IF ''Tex" Covihgton continues his
 batting spurt, Knisely, Carroll . and Kirby should look to their laurels. The daring Baron first saclxer is within two points of tse .3o0 mark and two safeties in this afternoons game will hurtle him into the ranks of the leading bludgeon wielders. hould Coving- ton corral the blows. the Barons will have a trio of 300 hitters.
 Carroll continued his heavy hit ting, registering two hits in five trials, and sent his batting mark up to 1865 again. Pete Knisely has been faltering slightly, but it will take a decided slump to drop the Teuton below the coveted mark. Carroll is leading Knisely and the league.
 Three shutout battles were re- corded yesterday in the Southern. Big Arthur Johson of the Barons blanked the Chicks, handily. Finis Wilson whitewashed Nashville, 1 to 0. although Heinie Berger yielded but two hits. Browning adminis- tered a 3 to 0 drubbing to the Lordless Gulls. But away up in Chattanooga, the Lookouts and the Billikens spoiled the diem of shut outs by 'slugging four pitchers for 15 runs.
 Another striking coincidence was that in each instance the scoreless terms registered five hits, but failed to secure a run. Glen Lieb- hardt of the Memphis club made concerted effort to overtake John son, for two of the five hits landed went to the vet twirler. Hudnall, Kirby and Keeley were the only three Gulls to solve Browning.

McDermott dropped the throw and the bases were filled Tragresser rolled to Liebhardt and Gov ington was forced at the place. One of Liebhardt's spitters slipped through Schleis glove and Mcbride crossed the plate. Johnson and Marcan both went out on short flies to Dunckel.
 The Barons then took a recess in their un-getting until the eighth when another Baron sunk his spikes in the home plate for count. Knisely sim gled and was sacrificed to second by Covington. Mcbride, who always seems able to hit in a pinch, singled and Knisely scored.
 The Barons fattened their batting averages in the ninth, securing four hits which netted three runs After Liebhardt had famed Johnson, Marcan singled. Stewart also singled and Knisely followed suit. Covington then drove long triple over Norman Coyle's head and the result was three Baron tallies. the runs being superfluous, as the Turtles were helpless before the pitching of Johnson.

Ellam Hits Homer

The feature was lOnB urlNe Dy ElldIils which not only went over .Zizaboo Land" but cleared the outer fence and the last heard of the ball that it was somewhere in the neighborhood. 1t was quite a clout, in fact it was about the heftiest wallop given regulation ball at Red Elm this season. Tex Coving- ton did the most damage with the ash during the fracas, the Baron first base man garnering three hits. He broke into the hit column on three occasions, his contribution being triple and two singles. In addition to three hits regis tered by Covington, Dolly Stark robbed the Baron first baseman of an apparently safe drive by a one-handed stab of a hot smasher.
 The Barons scored their first run in the second inning. It was Ellam's wal Top over the left field fence. The Barons came right back in the next frame and registered two more on three hits Johnson singled as a starter. Marcan tried to place the ball, but flied out to Allison. Stewart slammed a double to left and Johnson scampered home Carroll, who has been hitting hard the entire series scored Stewart with a terrific drive to center.

Memphis. July 7.--(Special) )--Johnson allowed the Turtles five scattered hits and not Turtle reached second base until the ninth inning and they remained on base. The Barons walloped Liebhardt all over the field and won, to o. The tall Baron pitcher held the Turtles safe at all stages of the game and worked the easiest kind of contest.
 After the Barons had taken a three run lead in the third Johnson served up the ball in a nonchalant way, but always had something on it as the Mem- phs batters hit but few balls hard. The five Turtle hits donated by Johnson were given on the parsimonous plan, the only time that more than one came in single inning was in the ninth when Ali son doubled and Stark beat out an in- field hit.
 Johnson had great control of the ball and although he allowed two Turtles to ambe to first he had the opposing bat ter in the hole most of the time. Glen Liebhardt had more success with the Baron pitcher than any other member of Turtles. 'Lieby' getting two bona fide hits off Johnson's delivery. While the Turtles were having their Troubles with Johnson the Barons were hitting the of- fering of Liebhardt freely and during the matinee registered a total of 15 hits.
 There were several bits of spectacular fielding pulled off which added a little zest in an otherwise unlnteresting game. Ellam. Stark and Covington broke into the limelight with some fancy plays, which the audience appreciated.
 The only opportunity that the Turtles had to score was in the ninth inning, but fast double play started by Mar can and terminating with Covington, El- lam being the pivot, shut off all possi- bility of a Turtle tally
