ROGERS PITCHES
 A PERFECT GAME

Nashville. Tenn, July 11.-Tom Rogers, for Nashville, pitched a perfect game to- day, allowing not hit, run or a bat ter to reach first base during the second game with Chattanooga. Two spectacu- lar catches by Williams and Lee, which cut off extra base hits, kept the slate clean for the local pitcher. although for the remainder of the time he was com plete master of the visitors. Allen allowed but one scratch hit to the infield, which was made in the seventh inning. Baker sacrificed the runner and Williams lifted a long fly to left Both Harris and Mes senger got under the ball but Harris muffed it, Sheehan going to third and Williams to second. On a squeeze play, Allen fumbled Kauffman's roller, Shee- han scoring. Williams tailed on Kores' squeeze.
 Manager Elberfeld sent in a pinch hit ter with two out in the ninth inning in an effort to break the perfect game for Rogers, but the local pitcher forced Pe- ters to raise a weak fly to second The

FOOD FOR RANDOM
By FRED BODEKER

As far as we know the Barons may be in Egypt. Absolutely no word was heard from the Baronial forces under but it is supposed that the chubby one has his forces concreated in or near Mobile, where he opens four day engagement tomorrow. The chub- by leader will give his struggling forces another day of rest prior to beginning work again.
 The Barons were idle in respect to playing baseball yesterday, but gen. eral knowledge of the team assures us that the fellows didn't get lone some in a town like New Orleans. It is supposed that the team spent the day in Pelville, but if Moley stuck up to his wire on Monday to The Age-Herald, he camped in Mobile all day yesterday. However. this minor point will cause no arguing and we don't give a care where the Barons spent the day just so they take those four games from the pesky Gulls
  ness will become a habit with the Barons before very long. Three days last week were spent in complete idle ness by the Barons in Chattanooga. Two of these days old Jupiter Pluvius butted in and saved the LookoutS from defeat, while Kid Elberfeld and company took the affair in hand and saved themselves a little more en- barrassment by calling off the third game. Then came the two official off days, designated by the league schedule and willingly complied by any baseball team.
 remarkable thing happened in the Southern league yesterday although the Barons were not playing. Tom Rogers, the veteran twirler of the Nashville Vols, took jump and to- day is in full possession of all qualifi- cations that allow the entry to the Hall of Fame. And if anyone ever did deserve to get into that hall the Gallatin wonder is certainly among this group. In yesterdays fracas with the Lookouts, Rogers pitched a perfect baseball game.
 By a perfect game is meant that he pitched the old game as prescribed in the Puritan's bylaws and regulations that was on the historic old May flower. Rogers, backed by splendid fielding, didn't allow a runner to reach first base during the entire nine in- nings and accomplished feat that has been performed but once hereto fore in the history of the Southern league.
 Back in the days when the Barons were occupants of the lower division, but termed by the old heads as the good old days the feat was first accomplished. Irwin Wilhelm, the star pitcher of the Barons and later of the Brooklyn Superbas, pitched a no-hit game against Montgomery in which not a single Billikin sumner reached the initial bag. To do bit of twirling like this is very rare and the hats are off to those who accom- plish it.
 The Vols won the game. 2 to o, but scored both of the runs with the aid of only one measly hit, the lone one

New Orleans is the location of am other good story The latest issue of the Daily States brings hot inter view with Carlton Molesworth, mana ger of the Barons, in reference to the postponement of the game in Chatta- nooga by the management.
 Colonel Cuke gets the story with Money in which the Baron boss is hot in the collar for the mistreatment at the Lookouts camp. Moley gives his views as anxious for the return of the S75 guarantee for each game. This, accord ing to the Pel scribe. would force the withdrawment of the Lookouts from the league. as he states further they would not be able to stand this and an increased player and salary limit.
 The story which undoubtedly came from Moley, who had good grounds is as follows:
 Southern league club owners, espe- cially those who operate in the smaller towns where expenses usually exceed the gate receipts, are apt to have a lot of trouble checking the movement to return to the $75 per game for vis- iting clubs next year.
 "Carlton Molesworth. Baron boss, is violently opposed to the live and let live policy adopted to keep Mobile and Chattanooga in the circuit Moley' as- serts his kick is the most legitimate of the season-O. B. Andrews calling a game off last Thursday because the Lookouts were short of pitchers
 According to the story Molesworth brought to New Orleans. the Birming- ham club is going to have President Baugh look into the matter. He says a visiting team hasn't got chance Tor It's life in Lookoutville and bush league tricks galore are apt to be ripped

LOOKOUTS CALL OFF HOME GAMES WHEN
 SHORT OF PITCHERS

off regularly for the balance of the season.
 "In canceling the game scheduled for July 6, Molesworth alleges the Chat tanooga people asserted the grounds were unfit for play. but the Baron boss contends the field was every bit as dry as Heinemann park was Sunday.
 " It was simply a case of Elberfeld not having any pitchers. said Moles- worth. and rather than take a chance and play our club, as sportsmen would they called it off. We were notified not to go to the park, but we saw the field with our own eyes.
 " The deal is the most outrageous 1 have ever experienced since I've been managing a club in the Southern league and President Smith of our club will take it up with MT. Baugh immedi- ately.'
 "Molesworth contends a visiting club is at the mercy of magnates who go in for bush league tricks like that he as- serts Chattanooga is guilty of inas- much as hotel bills transportation and other bills must be met, and rather than allow the raincheck sportsmen 10 continue operating at the expense of other clubs, suggests the league re- turn to the guarantee system.
 According to the Chattanooga the- ory, Johnny Dobbs could win the pen nant in a canter were he to resort to the same scheme-any time his club isn't going good call off the game
 But Chattanooga is noted for bush league tricks Every little play that is pulled off in the various leagues near the Lookout city are usually re- furbished and introduced to the South ern league.
 If Molesworth succeeds in putting the $75 per game movement through, it is probable that Chattanooga may eventually be forced to drop out of the circuit because of the heavy expense list, which is to prevail next season when both the salary and player limits will be given healthy boost"

secured off Lefty Allen. To see game like this once and awhile makes up for all the poor exhibitions of the season. The fans naturally begin to ''pull'' for the pitcher when he gets as far as the fifth or sixth inning without allowing hit, no matter who he is, but still some people can't understand why the national pastime is such drawing card.
 We're for the Ellam clan good and proper, but we hate to see the days pass by and still the team continue to play such wonderful ball. It will be little less than a miracle for the Vols to battle through the entire sea- son and never suffer a slump. This they have accomplished thus far this season and although it has been pre- dicted generally that the Vols will soon crack, the tone of the leaders has not altered the slightest for the past month. Truly, we would like to see the Ellam bunch pass through the dates without cracking, unless the Barons are near top, but it's hard to see how they will avoid it.
 If Moley expects to do any drafting this year, he must file his claims be- fore August 15. Secretary John H. Farrell of the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues gave out a warning to the minors last night. The Barons generally get a flock of youngsters from the bushes and Moley is expected to draw his usual number of prizes from the little circuits scat tered over the country.
 Charley Barrett, the Brown scout, who has been pottering around the Baugh circuit for no end of time, jotting down notes on fly-chasers and slabbers, tells good one on the ex- pense of Baumgartner, the eccentric Brown heaver
 Baumgartner was seated on the Browns bench one day in Chicago when the St. Louis outfit was tackling the White Sox. Since he was a new arrival in the circuit, Baumgartner's mates were tipping him off to all the sights and celebrities about the league.
 Ed Walsh was flinging for the Sox and going great guns.
 See that fellow pitching, Baum?" said a teammate.
 ''Uh huh,' replied the queer Brownie.
 That's Ed Walsh. He's just about the greatest pitcher in the American league" informed the teammate ad- mirer of the Big City"
 well, if he's all that good" re- torted the unconvinced Baumgartner, "whyinhell don't the National league draft him?"
