 Yesterday afternoon between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock the Barons of Br- mlngham declared J. Dobhs X Go. of Nashville nsolyent.
 And. strange to say, just the afternoon previous that same bunch beat usi
 Ginger" Clarke, after his ten days of suspension was in rare form, and save in one inning when three hits were made the visitors had absolutely no chance. The final score was ' to l, with the Barons on the natural" II is honestly believed that q thousand runs could have been made.
 The secret of the Ba>ons' success was the fact that when man was near enough home to score on d hit, the hit was forthcoming.
 Hub Perdue, whom Nashville ob- tained from Chicago after expenditure of 1000 simoleons started the game from the visiting slab
 He lasted four innings. and was sue ceeded by that sad faced gent Johnn. Duggan Elner's brother. He, in turn. lasted fouF innings. Neither was effective. On the other hand Clarke in per feet trini well heeled. with wings clipped and comb trimmed. He had his old time speed. his treaeherous curve, his under hand ball working nicely.
 He allowed six hits three of which came in one inning. struck out half dozen men, and walked three, to say noth- ing of his juicy bingle.
 It so happened, too, that Clarke re- ceived right royal support from the Barons. Indeed, the Barons. on the de- fensive and offensive, were all the mus tard.
 Meek did some exceedingly clever field ing around the initial corner. Demout made a spectacular and successful run after a Texas leagues, and caught it with his back to the grand stand. Walters robbed several of the visitors ambitious to smash one safe through first and sec ond. Alcock, too, was unusually steady, and threw we'll Indeed. the intied was all the good yesterday afternoon.

 The neatest piece of work done by the visitors was executed by "Dc." Wise man. Demont smashed q terrific swat to left, and the fans thought that it would go a mile. But Wiseman got it. after turning his back 10 the fans running a block or more. and facing about just in the nick of time Similarly. Doc" robbed Walters on the afternoon previous. And so the game continued to the end. It Was good, cleVerly played but withsl uninterestlng. Two reasons are assigned for the fact that it failed to entertain:

 The Barons cinehed it early.
 In the very first inning the Barons scored.

In characteristic style he Immediately purloined the keystone Then Meek did the stunt for which he is fam our-rapped luscIously to deep center for two bags. Scoring for Gene was q pipe. In the fourth, the Barons tied things up. After the conclusion of this round. the fans knew that the prize was theirs. Meek started the boil to rolling. Perdue hurled the sphere into hls side Walters sacrificed him to second. Acocks long single to right-center chased the heavy fellow across the rubber. Alcocll reached third on out and came home when Tax Latimer hit safely over second. With all credit to Latimer, it seems that Shortstop McElVeen, had he kept his eyes open. should have seen the ball and field cd it. However he didn't, and Alcocll scored.
 Another pair was added in the sixth.
 Meek started things again. He walked this time. Walters attempted to sacrifice him to second but Meek took third when Lew was safe on Johnny Duggans bad throw to First Baseman Lister Then Al cock stung another and Meek counted again. Garvn's inheld hit forced Walters at third but base on balls to Latlmer filed the sacks.

 The greedy Barons added another pat in the very next inning. the seventh.
 Demont began by hitting safely. Smitt sacrificed him to second. and was sac himself when Catcher Wells made wld throw to first. Meek's infeld hit forced
