Nashville. August I-(Speeial.)- Nash-
vile, 3; Birmingham, g.
Nashville turned the tables on Birming-
ham today and defeated them in one Of
the prettiest games seen here this sea-
SON. The Iron Barons played a brilliant
fielding game. Every man on the team
played fast, snappy ball, but they were
less fortunate with the willow than Nash
Vile. The game was played in the re-
markable time of one hour and fifteen
minutes.
Clark pitched superb ball all the way
through and was accorded perfect sup
port, not an error being charged against
the visitors
Kennedy the new man secured from
Augusta, made his initial appearance
with the Barons and gave general salts
faction, accepting two difficult chances,
and his hard single to right field scored
one of the runs He is a left-hand hitter
and fast runner. Herman was in the
box for the locals and pitched effectively
at all stages of the game. Knoll, Low
ney and Cargo carried off the fielding
honors for the locals, each making phe-
nomenal one-handed catches of hard line
drives that were tagged safe hits.
Knoll a Robber.
Knoll's catch of Maguire's drive in the
ninth saved the game for Nashville. 1t
looked good for at least three bases.
Crabill will make his appearance as a
twirler tomorrow and it is the general
opinion here that If he can pitch as well
as he can hit and field, he Will be Won
der. Manager O'Brien Is very much i'm
pressed with his work. With these late
additions to the Barons there is no cause
why they should not be a warm factor in

IS GROUND TO DEATH.
EDWARD KEUETz JUMPS IN
FRONT OF IOWA CENTRAL
TRAIN AT NEW SHARON.
Was Employed in Concrete construc-
ton Work Near New Sharon-Was
On Way to camp-Remains Sent to
Minneapolis.

New Sharon, July 21.-Supposed to
have been aroused from stupor into
which he had fallen near the Iowa Cen
trail tracks Sunday, Edward Keuetz, of
Minneapolis, aged % years, jumped
ing train and was ground to death be-
meath it's wheels. Keuetz has been
employed with the Cook Construc-
ton company on some concrete work
short distance north of this city. Sat
urday was pay day. Keuetz after
drawing his wages, which amounted to
$24.5O, went to Oskaloosa.
Got on Spree.
1t is stated that during the evening
he started out with number of COM
panions and in short time was pref
ty well under the influence of liquor.
However, he found his way to the sta
ton and left on passenger train No.
for New Sharon.
Started for Camp.
Upon alighting from the train it is
supposed that he started to walk to
camp about two miles north Of here,
and becoming stupid sat down on an
embankment near the track. Here he
fell asleep and was not aroused until
startled by the noise of the approach
ing south bound train.
Engineer Saw Man.
1t is said that Engineer Willford,
who was at the throttle of passenger
train No. 6, as he was pulling into New
Sharon saw man sitting near the
track but out of dangers way. How
ever, just as the train was almost upon
him Keuetz suddenly started up and
