Nashville, August 3.-(Specia1.)- Quite a surprise was uncorked at the park this afternoon.
 The Barons not only licked Nashville easily, but they gave the local favorite "Hurling Hub" the worst humping he has encountered this season.
 They rammed out IA safe drives while dumb playing gave MT. Moles- worth's boys six tallies.
 Nashville crossed the plate but twice. Bauer working against the locals pitched a splendid battle. He was in vincible up to the last three rounds when he let down a bit allowing the only scores for Nashville. The Volun- teers got seven hits off him, three be- ing made in the final spasm. Perdue was not effective at any time during the matinee. From beginning to end he was hit freely while the defense be- hind him was off color.
 HenIine Batting Star.
 Jack Hardy showed a lack of knowl- edge in playing the second bag. Twice he failed to cover first when Daubert was after a bunt, and in each case his failure to do so cost runs. Save for these mistakes though Hardy did some fairly good work in picking up ground CTS.
 However, it was not errors that put the game in Birminghams column. Far from it. It was simply case of hit ting the ball when hits counted. The Barons used the willow opportunely in the innings in which men scored. Hen line was not only the batting star of the day but scored the first three runs. He got four hits. one three -bagger.
 Henline opened the game by beating out a grounder hit to third Downey drew base on balls. Molesworth sac rihced the men a base each. Raub then hit long fly to centerheld and was out, but Henlne tallied before the ball was returned.
 Barons Stune the Ball.
 It was Henline who started the run getting in the third. He hit to left center for three bags and Manager Molesworth scored him by placing d drive in left.
 The fourth passed without a notable feature, but in the fifth Henline got busy again and rammed out his third consecutive hit. He went to third
  while Molesworth was up Henline and Downey started a double steal. Sea baugh made a short throw to Hardy, but Jack dropped the ball, and Heline, who had started home, was safe. Had Hardy accepted the chance the Baron could have been retired at the plate. Birmingham put the fourth run over in the seventh.

 Nashville got her first score in this round. Hardy hit to right field He reached second on a wild pitch and scored on Daubert's drive to center.
 MoIesworth's Great Catch.
 In this inning Manager Molesworth made one of the most sensational catches ever seen in Sulphur Dell Mo .Elveen hit one almost to the sewer in deep center. There did not appear possible chance for Gladys" to get under the ball, but to the surprise of the crowd he did after a long run to- ward the back fence. Two runs scored on a bunt to the pitcher. Hard to be- lieve that such thing could be done, but it was accomplished by the Baron, in the eighth. After Douglass and Smith had singled, Walters advanced them up a notch on a sacrifice. Larsen was up and the squeeze" was tried Larsen bunted to Perdue and Douglass scored from third and Smith from sec ond. Perdue lost his head for a sec ond right here and instead of trying to stop Smith at the plate he threw to Hardy, who was covering first, but he was too late and Larsen was safe. Bauer retired the side on a pop fly to short.
 " Mp nd Rnt scored the former for the locals in the final inning.
 Perdue did not have his usual speed and just before the game was com blaming of a sore arm, which doubt less accounts for his poor work on tn, slab.
 A double-header will be played to- morrow.
