LOOKOUTS LOSE CHANCE

The Lookouts had only one promising
chance to count previous to the blow-up.
Harris led the fourth with blow on the
line which oozed through Clark s fingers.
Hyatt sacrificed. Jantzen showed a slow
hit to left. 1t took a perfect throw and
tag to get Harris at the plate, but the de-
cision was hardly close, SO true was
Coombs effort.
The game was won in the seventh.
Jantzen priedN with a roller to deep short.
Cation slipped as he reached the ball and
threw while sitting, straight up in the
air. The hit and run was played and
Kitchens tucked pop fly safe back OF
first on which Jantzen hurried to third,
Clarks throw short bouncing Mcdonald
off his balance. Perryman had guessed
the play and Kitchens tapped pitch out.
Mcmillan was offered a base on balls,
but also tapped a pitch out past Clark,
Jantzen trotting over.
johnson got past the first inning of the
second game in great style, but in the
second Meusels corking double along the
right foul line and Eschen's tremendous
three sa cker to right center scored run.
Arthur was lucky here, Hauser's hot
smash going to Pitler and Eschen being
extinguished at the plate.
1t was pretty evident that Arthur was
gone, but the kid let him stay in until
the game was thoroughly lost in the
third. Robertson opened the third with
a hefty double to left. Kitchens caught
Robertson off second with a snap throw.
but Arthur refused to be extricated. He
passed Mcdonald and Derrick belted
clearly to left. Aftei- Coombs flied out.

|M'WANE VICTORIOUS
in THRILLING MATCH
OVER HEWITT SMITH
Mccoy to Battle LANCE in
the Semi-Finals Today.
Drennen Suffers
Defeat

One of the hadrest fought games OF
tennis ever played in Birmingham was
staged yesterday afternoon, when Hewitt
Smith and William McWane met to de-
eide who should play in the finals for the
Cosby cup. The contest was played on
the Young Mems Christian association
court. Each player knew that he had
battle royal before him and both were
in splendid condition for the fray.
McWane won the toss and started to
serving. The first set was a long drawn
out affair, finally going to McWane by
the score of rs. Smith came back in the
next two sets and almost had Mcwane
groggy before he applied the emergency
brakes This did not seem to bother
McWane. as he had been in such a pre-
dicament in three of his previous
matches. He made great rally at the
beginning of the fourth set that took
Smith completely off his feet
Smith was unable to overcome the on
rush and bowed to the superior playing
of McWane. Both contestants played one
OF the best games of their career. Smith
being unusually effective with his smash
ing game in the second and third sets
and McWane gave a great exhibition OF
his skill in the fourth and fifth sets by
placing his shots just out of the reach OF
Smith.
One of the most remarkable features
OF the tournament has been the recupera-
tive power showed by McWane. Time
and again he has been counted out. only
t., come back and completely overwhelm
his opponent Too much praise cannot be
said of the playing of Smith. for this
youngster put up a classy game through
out and took his defeat in good grace.
Score rs, 49, As, GA, 6-3.
The dope was upset again when
f. L. Dange defeated DIR. Drennen. There
had been a great deal of speculation as
to how this match would terminate and
the odds were in favor of Drennen, but
odds did not have any effect upon
Lange's playing. He went right after his
opponent from the start and bagged tho
first set, SO. He lost the second by
the score of rs, and completely ran
away with the third set, winning it by
the one-sided score of 60 DIR. Drennen
did not play his best game. He was
somewhat erratic and was kept on the
defensive the greater part of the time.
LANCE will play Mccoy this morning to
determine who shall match-play McWane
for the Cosby trophy. This will be a very
interesting match. since Mccoy is one of
| the cleverest wielders of the racquet to
| be found in the district. The match is
| scheduled at IL O'Clock on the Young
Mems Christian association court.

Chattanooga, August 14.-(Special)
After Arthur Johnson had kept the Bar
ons from passing second in the opening
game of the double header here today,
the Lookouts winning with a single run,
the former Baron essayed the iron man
stunt in the second and was hammered
from the box in the third inning. Four
runs were scored before knowlson was
sent to the rescue. and as the Lookouts
could coin only one off Dick Robertson,
these were sufficient to win, though
knowlson did not allow another counter.
Perryman opposed johnson in the first
game and pitched creditable baseball,
though Coombs saved him a run with a
squib throw to the plate in fourth. The
winning run of the ministerial gent was
scored on three fluke hits in row.
Meusels hitting featured both contests,
the big fielder getting five bits in the
two games, leading the first rally off
johnson and making the second produce
with a pinch single. Perryman was hand
icapped in the first contest by Hauser' S
poor throwing, the locals stealing almost
at will. In other departments on defense
the BaronS played great baseball. Only
four Barons reached first off johnson in
the opener. Meusel got couple of hits,
Mcdonald was passed in the first and
Eschen got an intield blow in the second.
Mcdonald, who was sacrificed to second
in the first and Meusel, who stole in the
sixth, were the only visitors to reach Sec

enough runs to win over Memphis, 2
to 0, Mcdowell and Gondolfi, both OF
whom reached first through faulty
feelings, scoring when Knisely failed
to stop Wilcox's hard liner to left
field. Both Wiley and Fincher pitched
good ball. Mobile punched two hits in
the fifth and two in the eighth, but
could not better the score, while Wiley
