Nashville. August 2-(Special)-In list less game, Birmingham walked away from Nashville today by the score of II to 9.
 The affair was a demonstration of base ball as it should not be played. and was witnessed by one of the smallest crowds that has gone to the park of late.
 Tine Barons hammered Duggan to every corner of the lot getting at least one bin gle in every round but the ninth.
 The play of both teams was rather fife less from the start and all that saved it from being an out and out slaughter was the removal of Turner. who started out 10 do the twrlng for the visitors, in the second round.
 With Turner on the slab all the way it would nave been an old fashioned batting bee as the Boosters accumulated two doubles and two singles during the short time that he served his benders.
 Wilhelm Was Wizard.
 Wilhelm. who succeeded him, was a per feet mystery. the locals being at his mercy throughout the game Johnny Dug- gan came back to his own, but his own knew him not. Twelve jolly clean swats record the history of his downfall Among the number two doubles and triple found a place.
 It was his first real trial for a long, long time, and he failed to deliver the goods.
 The feature of the game, at least from the standpoint of the crowd. was the ranK umpiring of Haekett, who handled the in- dicator on balls and strikes. The epithets heaped upon him by the crowd would fe- ouire many volumes to record. His appaf- entIy rank decisions in several instances cost Nashville a good many runs, and while it would probably not have changad inc result in any way, the crowd woul1 have had more of a run for its money
 About the only brilliant plays made dur inr the game came from Dobbs and Me Elveen In the ninth, McElVeen nabbed an awfully slow one off Lattlmers bat and made a great throw, mailing the one-tme Booster.
 In the seventh the manager skinned Garyin out of a nice hit by an unusually fast running catch.
 The contest was appropriated by the . visitors at the start Molesworth was ,ip first, and walked. Smith attempted to sacrifice, but was safe on Listers error. Gardner followed suit. and J. Duggaa toyed with 1t.
 Result: Corners crowded.
 Free passes were issued Meek and Wal ters forcing in two runs Alcock drove warm one through Duggan, and two more counted A single, sacrifice and an ei- TOT added another in the third. hit ny pitched ball. a single. triple and a fly ont sent three more across in the fifth. Three singles and a double gave another three in the sixth. This ended the rua getting.

The recent work of Pitcher Wilhelm Is remarkable.
 While he doesn't get credit for them all he has won eight successive Nlc- tories. Two of these, one against Al lanta. and another against Nashville. that ,esterdav afternoon, are credited to other nltchers. But Wilhelm won them, just the same.
 In fact Wilhelm has won eight games this season that are credited to other pitchers.
 If there is a better man than Wilhelm in the Southern league we have failed to see him
 If generally happens that discarded players bring great damage to the team which busted them.
 Day before yesterday. for instance Pee Lister hit the Barons between the eyes. Day before yesterday, Pittsburs lost to Boston chiefly through the op- portuna batting of Beaumont and Brain, two former National Pirates. The bat ting star of the Montgomery Atlanta game yesterday was Ball of Montgomery formerly a Cracker. The lad got three hits out of four trials. one of them be- ing for three bags, and in addition held- ed brilliantly.
 No player is so great as that one whom the home team discards.
 "A Aggression right here is necessary.
 While numerous games have been lost to Nashville thi season. in the majority the Barons have shown the Dobbers up.
 Nashville has won too many games from the Barons after the Barons have assumed n great and winning lead
 omething Is wrong somewhere, though we admit that it is beyond our power to point l. out or call it by name.
 Manager Vaughn is too reticent While his team is on the road.
 He never lets the people at home know what Inc Is doing or what has happened.
 he Nashville American yesterdaY morning contained a story 10 the effect that Manager Vaughn has acquired an other pitcher. Brannon by name. It has been impossible to find out whether this statement is true or not
 Then Garvin played shortstop yester- day. What is the matter with Demont? Is he suspended? Is he injured? Is he ill?
 Garvir played shortstop jam up When he is put in the infield he general lv gives an excellent account or himselt'

Credit Goes to Lutz
For Court Decision,
Says Correspondent
Motorists Failed to Support
Fight in Conduit Road
Case.
Automobile Editor Times:

Automobile Editor Times:
Dear Sir. / have no desire whatever
to mOnOpOlize the valuable columns OF
your newspaper, in submitting my let
ter for publication. However, / am de-
sirous of correcting an error which APP
.peared in one of the papers a few days
ago. in connection with the Conduit
road test case.
Some time ago, John A. Lutz, a prom
iuent automobile dealer Of this city. was
arrested by the Glen Echo authorities
for driving his automobile at an exces-
sive rate OF speed, and a fine of $50 was
therefore imposed. After due COnsiderd-
tion and upon the advice of his attorney,
c.. L. Baker. Mr.. Lutz took exception 10
the law, and appealed the case to the
circuit court of Montgomery county in
behalf Of the automobiles Of the Dis
Jrict Of Columbia, anticipating their
hearty cooperation IN fighting the case.
Subsequent TO having made plans to test
the case in the court. Mr.. Lmtz informed
appealing TO them as Interested part:es
20 contribute to the fund required 10
carry the case successfully through the
court. His appeals elected nothing
whatever, ana as q matter of fact the
interest manifested was insignificant
Therefore, why not extend TO Mr.. Lutz
and bis attorney, @, i. Baker. all due
credit for having won the victory of a
decision eNempting the Conduit road
from the obnoxious speed regulations OF
Montgomery county?
Thanking you in advance for the pub
lication Of this manuscript.
