Atlanta at Shreveport
 Nashville, May 16-(Special.) )-Just to show there was no hard feeling Birming- ham pulled themselves together today | and defeated the Fishermen in as pretty game as one would like to see, thereby winning the series. Rain fell all during the contest, but there was sharp and bril- liant fielding throughout on both sides. The final score was ? to 1.
 It was a pitchers battle all through the game between Minahan and Herman with the auburn-haired twirler from Old Mount Sag having the best of the argu- ment He held the locals at bay at all stages with the exception of the sixth in- ming when he surrendered two punched hits and allowing Nashville to score their lone tally of the game.
 Lynch and Jimmy O'Brien were back in the game and added much strength to the Barons' team work.
 Cut Down Home Run.
 Feldhaus of the locals made spectac- ular catch in the seventh. With Vaughan on second. Smith on first. Hanley drove long fly to the back of the fence. which looked good for a homer. but the fast left fielder was equal to the occasion and pulled the fast flying sphere and doubled Vaughan at second. The play was loudly applauded.
 Birmingham was first to show scoring two runs in the sixth inning after two hen were out which later proved enough to win the game. Billy Smith caught one of Hermans shoots on the nose and sent 1t to deep center for three bags and scored on Hanley's single over second base the big left fielder making the cir cult on Parrotts error.
 Nashviles run came in their half of the sixth. Wiseman hit safe to left field for two bags and scored on Bennett 8 single to center. 'Minnies" strong arm kept the Fishermen away from home plate after this although chances were bright for Nashville to score in the ninth.
 After one down Lowney hit for two bags, but he died there as Smith flied out to his namesake and Lowney was caught mapping at second.
 Alloway. Birminghams new pitcher put in his appearance today. With Streit in form, Mnahan. Clark and Alloway to do the pitching there is no reason why the O'Brienits should not win a majority of their games on this trip.
