| Chattan0oga, June S.-(Speclal.)-Wltn
 each club playing brilliant ball, and each 1 fighting desperately to the last ditch, the Lookouts and Barons divided their final
 double header of the present series here | this afternoon.
 | In the opening contest Curley Brown de- | feated Ray Boyd in a sparkling hurling duel, to 1, while in the closing alterca- l tion veteran William Slime was finally returned victor over Omar Hardgrove l 8 to ?. An even break today gave the Moosemen three out of four for the series. l! Neither fray was decided until the last man was retired in the ninth, Graff sin 1 gling to center in the closing frame of the opening battle with one down and se- riously jeopardizing the Barons' unit mar 1 gin. while the brave and bold showed | two markers across in the ultimate seance
 of the closing contest, placing the Look | outs three-run lead in equal danger. Upon neither occasion, however, was the | winning hit forthcoming.
 | Although brilliant fielding plays abound ed, Eddie Mcdonald stood out in bas relief as the most fulgent figure In the first game he robbed Street of clean two-base hit to open the fifth when i he stabbed his line drive with one hand, and few moments later absolutely saved the day for the Barons when he Jagged McCormicks drive and retired him at first with Ems on third. Eddie handled in all seven chances. over half of which seemed certain hits
 Knisely again carried off offensive hon. ors for the Barons with four hits out of eight times up, all of which figured in the scoring.
 First Game
 i The Barons threatened Boyd in the sec
 ond and fourth innings of the opening game, but Ray was absolutely invinci- ble in the pinches. In the fifth they finally broke through his defense, but this
 tally, as we'll as the final one in the ninth
 were due almost directly to poor sup port.
 Covington was the first man to face Boyd in the fifth and he promptly singled to center. Ellam forced the former Brown
 at second, but Tragesser poked short single to left. Johnston came in on the ball like flash and Ellam stopped at sec
 ond. He promptly rushed to third, how
 ever, and Tragesser to second, when Jack | in some inexcusable way let the ball
 through. Brown followed with a bounder
 to Ems and Ellam was out at the plate,
 but Mcdonald beat out grounder to
 third and Tragesser tallied. ] The Barons scored the winning marker l in the eigth. With Marcan and Stewart
 down. Knisely singled to center. Mcbride slashed a single to right on the hit and
 run and Peter raced to third. With two
 strikes on Covington, the double steal was put on, and while Ems was running
 Mcbride down, Knisely tailed. 1 The Lokouts lone tally came in the doubled to left center and scored on Ems single. The Lookouts peppered away at
 Brown steadily throughout the game, but
 he checked them invariably in the pinches
 with the aid of brilliant support. Seven Moosemen died on the bases
 Second Game
 l Both Slime and Hardgrove were invinci- ble in the closing game except in one in-
 ming, although both found themselves in- frequent and dangerous holes.
 The Lookouts won the fray in the
 sixth. With but four hits chalked against
 Hardgrove's delivery up to that time Johnston opened this frame with sin gle past short. Ems sacrificed and when Jacobson beat out a foozle in front of the plate, third and first were occupied. NC
 Cormick proved deadly in the pinch and l crashed to left center on the second ball
 pitched sending Johnston over. McBride's
 peg to third was too late to head Jacob
 son. and Mccormick sped straight to sec- 1 ond Coyle flied out to Stewart, scoring
 Jacobson and Mccormick toook third on | the peg to the plate. Flicks single to left sent the local pilot over.
 Stewart opened the Barons fruitless
 ninth inning onslaught against Slime. On
 the second ball pitched the former Cub
 dumped one in front of the plate and
 beat 1t out for safety. Knisely and Mo
 Bride followed with short singles to left. l filling the bases. Covington sent with a
 sharp drive between second and first, but
 Flick made & sensational play and re-
 tired him as Stewart thundered across Elam sent Knisely over with long fly to Jacobson. but MaGee. after delivering
 twice as a pinch hitter Tuesday, flied out
 to center, ending the fray
