The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-07-24

series of pebbles in the eighth
 sion. coupled with two singles, endowed
 Chattanooga with a 4-3 victory over Br-
 mingham yesterday. Dave Roth had held
 the Lookouts in check while Birmingham
 had scored two runs off Lanky Roland Howell With a one-run margin, the eighth dawned. Before it closed Bir-
 mingham had suffered a defeat.
 Fred Graff, whose timely hit defeated
 Robertson Wednesday by one run, inau- gurated the telling movement with single to center field. Tragressers passed ball advanced him to second. Gabby Street dropped a sacrifice to Roth. The big twrler essayed to catch Calf at third. but made a futile toss for Calf was speeding too fast From the outset, he 1 seemed toNhave little hope. Howell drove a single past first base and sent Graf over with the tieing run, but Street was halted at second. Hopeful Mccormick dispatched the fieet-footed Shanley to re- place Street at second. Johnston bunted
 down the third-base line and Roth fielded.
 Marcan, in speeding over first base to
 take the fingers throw, encountered Johnston in full speed and a collision
 followed. As the two were hurled to
 the ground by the impact of the crash,
 the ball fell from Marcan's clutch and
 Shanley registered. Howell went to third
 on the collision. Ems hosted fly to Knisely, but Howell feared the Teutons whip and remained motionless at third as his peg reached Tragresser On the hit and run maneuver Jacobson bounded a grounder over Roth and Howell scored, for Ellam fumbled the roller McCor- mick went hitless for three consecutive games, when he flew out to Mcbride.
 Roth caught Jacobson off first and the rally subsided.
 Although Marcan opened the eighth with home-run drive over Johnston in left field. the following marksmen fell before the shoots of Youngster Howell
 and Birmingham suffered defeat. The Barons gained headway in the early session. In the first inning, Marcan grounded to Ems, but journeyed to sec ond when his high throw to Coyle es- caped Mickey's extended mitt. Mcdonald sacrificed the second-sacker to third. while Marcan scampered over the rubber when Carroll lifted fly to Johnston in left. Lil outsped the sunfielder's return to the plate and scored on delft head first slide.
 In the fourth, the Moosemen showed over a counter and deadlocked the strug- gle. Ems lifted a Texas leaguer to Car
 roll, but was forced at second on Jacob sons grounder to Marcan. Big Jake off
 set the forceout by pilfering the second sack. McCormick's grounder to second
 advanced Jacobson to third and he tall lied on Coyle's blow to left Coyle was caught off first by Roth.
 Sacrifices and hits were blended togeth- CT in the same session by the Barons and Moley's henchmen again assumed the lead. Carroll singled to sight and Knsely repeated to left. Coyington sacrificed the sprnters a cushion. while Mcbride drove out fly to Johnston and Carroll counted Knisely was held at second and remained there. for Eilam grounded out to Ems. Roth emerged from several threatening predicaments in the first few rounds. but suffered a reversal when his sup port faltered in the eighth.s Howell yielded
 but four hits, two in the fourth, an in- field hit to Tragresser in the seventh and circuit crash to Marcan in the eighth. With good support in the eighth, Roth would have scored a triumph. although
 he was outpitched by his more youthful
 adversary.
