With Bert Maxwell pitching in the form that made him the king of South ern League pitchers during the first blush of last season, with the team behind him giving him superb, gingery mid-season support, the Nashville team was as helpless as a tiny mouse in the paws of a cat.
 The reversal of form showed by the locals was startling in its joyous re- alism, and when the game was over Maxwell had scored a clean-cut shut out. to The local team put up as snappy a game of ball as one cares ever to see and with the ginger in- tected into their work, together with the championship pitching of Maxwell, the Dobbers had about as much chance as a spring suit on a cold Easter Sun day.
 Maxwell was invincible Three hits, one of them doubtful. were made off him. two of them coming in the sec ond inning and the other in the third. made off him. while he struck out the hard hitting Pearson. Perdue and Doc Wiseman twice. His control was per feet, giving Wiseman base on balls one in the second, and working like piece of machinery during the other seven innings.
 The work of Clayton Perry was won derful in its swiftness and precision, his stop of Pearson's hit in the fourth inning and of hits by Mccormick. Hackett and Hardy in the eighth be- ing neat bits of work.
 Ball, the Cedar Rapids recruit bought fro mAtlanta. played a swell game at short, and 1t looks as though he will fill long felt want He plays an un- usually deep short and his throwing looks to be the whole thing. A stop he made of McElevene's hit in the F. h.a.n lr R-t,VN A catch of McCormicks fly in the fifth were bits Of work that caused him to dofr his cap to the enthusiastic fans
 Fred Houtz played great game. his catch of Hardy's fly in the second and Morse's fly in the fourth being sensa- tional.
 Houtz, Perry and Apperious got two hits each. Wye getting the other,
 Malarky made a general shift in his lineup Perry going to third. Nye to second and Ball to short and the combination proved effective to won derful degree.
 Frank Rinn umDired satisfactorily, not kick being made by either side, though once or twice he seemed to lose some balls and strikes.
