 That Inning. Bis Pitcher Has Complete Control Throughout Allowing Only Three Clean Hits and Couple
 of Scratches.

Tn 6 sensationally spectacular finish the local team put six runs over the | plate in the eighth inning and finished the game strong, shutting the Dobb- | CTS out by a score of z to O.
 It was game of ball that brought joy to the hearts of the local fans in many. many ways, one of the reasons. of course. being that Montgomery cap tured the big end of the tally sheet. Another reason was the pitching of Walker.
 The big fellow worked a magnificent game and the Nashville batters were | totally unable to hit him when hits | were needed. His control was perfect | and considering the wet ball was some thing marvellous. Not base did he give during the game. The only time mick on the leg in the second inning l During the balance of the game he was almost invincible. and he struck out four batters.
 Of the five hits credited against him two came in the first inning, one of them being decidedly punky, Nye and Walker both slipping in the heavy go- ing. The third hit came in the sixth it and missed. The fourth hit was Mo Cormick's two-bagger in the seventh, and the last hit was Pearson's single in the ninth-three clean hits and a couple of scratches
 The feature of the game, however, was the splendid team work and light ming style of Inside play that the To- calls developed
 The first run, scored In the third in- ming, was the result of stolen base, | good base running and a pinch hit. In the eighth inning the Nashville crowd was swept entirely off its feet by the cyclonic work of the locals. Dobb's people went up in the air and did not get back to earth until after the in- ming was over, a series of four we'll placed bunts with a few clean hits thrown in for lagniappe putting in six runs and causing the Nashville inf1eld to blow up with a noise that must cer- tainly have given Manager Dobbs a | headache
 The squeeze was worked beautifully | in this inning. adding to the general demoralization of the Dobbs crew. Fred Houtz was on third with only one out when with Ratchford up the signal was given for the squeeze. Just as Sor- rell turned the ball loose Houtz dash edSfor the plate. Ratchford laid down a neat bunt to Sorrell and Houtz was over the plate like a whirlwind before the pitcher could get to the bunt.
 Dobbs Put Out of Game.
 Umpire Rim was watching the run ner from third and though Sorrell threw Ratchford out at first he claimed he did not see 1t, and was not going tc call a play he had not seen. The en- the plucky umpire, but he refused to change his decision in calling Ratch- ford safe. Finally Dobb's language and attitude became so picturesque that Rim put him out of the game.
 A moment afterwards n decision was larky could have kicked on just N' strenuously as Dobbs did. He did gc on the field and enter his protest, but let 1t go at that. sam Apperious hat and as he started for first slipped Hardy ran in and got it, Sam running 2 to him he dashed .or hrst. Mix( McCann, who was on third. had rcorec terfering with Hardy. and sent McCanr back to third.
 Sorrell had been working well ant getting good support up to that ia eight i swift Ieam work of the local team. Theg game was like this:
 Dobbs hit one in the frst inning that wet grass trying to get, and the Nash vilie manager had a lucky hit to his ! credit. Doc Wiseman smashed clean one out to left field and Dobbs got to got, and like flash threw Dobbs out l at third. McElevene was out on fly to Arnerious. and on Morse's hit to Ball Wiseman was out at second. 1 ent the first dash out of the box when | Fred Houtz was out on bunt to Sor- | rell. Nye was out on hit to McEle- vene and Hausen to Racket: The nlde was destined to give, the robhers a whole lot of trouble before the @fter- noon was over
