Games Today.
Nashville at Birmingham.
Montgomery at Atlanta.
Memphis at New Orleans.
Shreveport at Little Rock.

A neat little cluster of heart breaking
throws splieed in with dash of bad
hobbies broke the winning streak of the
Coal Barons yesterday and allowed Newt
Fisher a new lease of life with the fans
along the muddy banks of the Cumber-
land.
Nashville. 4; Birmingham, 2, but its no
use to weep over milk that is split.
A dainty little clout or a three-base
smash would have served to break up the
game on several occasions, but Mr..
Nickens of Nashville saw to it that such
familiarity was not INDUCED in and there
in lay defeat.
Pylant pitched good ball and yielded
fewer hits than did his opponent, but the
youthful exponent of the school of
Vaughan was up against 1t from the
start and his team mates were finally
forced to back out of Slagtown and rest
for the moment on past raurels. Nobody
blamed them for the loss for Birmingham
hath a generous public and no one should
expect the earth and the goodness thereof
with a mosquito bar thrown over 1t all
for good measure.
Barons Slightly Crippled.
The Barons went on the field crippled
and slightly the worse for wear and the
switching of positions had much to do
with the hobbies which helped to increase
the lead of the Fishermen. Jimmy
O'Brien's leg was hurt in Mondays game
and after practice he was compelled to
retire Ward was put in at second and
Lynch was switched to third. Not being
used to the distance and the position
Henry made a couple Of bad throws.
Ward was there with the willow and
besides lamming out one beautiful single
he stung another one that nothing less
than highway robbery would have kept
1t from being a hit. Doctor Lowney was
guilty of larceny, but the work was SO
pretty the crowd couldn't hold back the
applause.
Trouble began in the second inning when
with one out Feldhaus hit safe. Lowney
also cracked out a good one and Hen
nessey threw to third to catch Feldhaus.
The throw was too late and Lynch threw
to second to head off Lowney. While
Lowney was In the chase Feldhaus sneak
ed in with the run that was sought.
Bad In the Fourth.
In the fourth the Fisherment piled up
three runs and proceeded to rub In the
now bitter dose Wiseman cracked one at
Lynch who threw wild to first. Andrews
sacrificed advancing Wiseman. Knoll then
hit safe and Wiseman scored Feldhaus
shot slow one at Lynch and again he
chunked the ball too high both men be-
ing safe. Feldhaus promptly stole Sec
ond and Knoll scored on the throw to the
plate, Feldhaus going to third. Lowney
promptly rammed a hot one to Tamsett
and Feldhaus scored on the out.
Birmingham's only runs came in the
sixth and for a moment the crowd woke
up. Vaughan hit safe to left and Smith
walked. Matty tried hard but fouled out
to the catcher. Hennessey hit to Lowney
who cut Smith off at second while
Vaughan scored on Accorsinis throw
which plugged Pug Bennett on the shin
Tamsetts single then scored Hennessey
and that was the best we could do.
There will be double header today the
first game beginning promptly at
o'clock. STREET or Reagan and Texas Clark
will probably work for the Barons but
Fisher has not yet made up his mind
The score
