PERUVIAN JOINS
ELBERFELD'S CLAN

Emmett Key Perryman pitcher. has
signed with the Chattanooga Lookouts,
and has already reported to Manager
Elberfeld.
Perryman was released by Manager
Wordsworth of the Barons several days
ago. He had previously been offered a
job by Elberfeld provided he was
canned by Moley. AS soon as Perry
was released. he Immediately got in
touch with the Tabasco Kid and as a
result landed with the Noogan outfit.
Fans here wish Perry unlimited sue
cess with the Lookouts. He had hard
luck with the Barons from the start OF
the season. His work with the Barons
during the exhibition season was mos,
pleasing and it was thought then that
he would develop into one Of Moley's
most dependable hurlers.
Today the Barons are idle. They
clash again at Redwood Monday an.
Tuesday. The Vols are here Wednesday.
Moley was back on the job again yes
terday, although he has not completely
recovered from his illness.

Federal League, who has made
good in every respect, is Eddie
Roush, one time of the Giants
but now playing with the Gin
cinnati Reds. He is now bat
ting in the vicinity of $50, and
covers as much ground as any
outfielder in the league. He
has a good throwing arm and a
