| with good reason as one Of his great
est works. Dickens was always a
champion Of the poor and the op-
pressed. In making Toby Week. a
sorry old drudge of a London ticket
| porter his hero, he drew a moving
picture Of one who in his anxiety not
| to distrust or think hard of the rich
| fell into the opposite extreme of dis
| trusting the poor. There can be no
doubt but what in writing this moving
| story Dickens was animated by a deep
| desire to inculcate in the public, mind
| a strong and abiding lesson. His
| purpose was strong and sincere. i

BIG BERNHARD WINS THE GAME Nashville Manager Pitch
 cd to Victory. FANS YELL lTHRoATs OUT Tennessee Grounds Hard and Game
 Fast. Guese VIII Go in Box Today And pr. Thomas Will Work First One
 With The Barons.
BY w. w. SCREWS, JR.

NashVilie, Tenn, June 1S--(SpeciaD hoarse for Biil Bernhard. the big man ager or the Volunteers rose to the oc- casion and pitched a swell game Of ball, licking the Climbers by score Of
 The big ex-Cleveland pitcher was hit about as hard as Billy Cristal, but it was his wonderful control that pulled the manager of the Volunteers out of so many holes.
 Both of the pitchers had eight hits made off them. but the swats of the Nashville people came just at the time that they were needed to push runs over the plate. Bernhard struck out six men and did not walk a man. while cristal walked four men and only struck out one.
 Baked. and hard as flint, the grounds were fast as lightning and the wonder IS that lots more errors were not made. The least tap of the bat would send the ball skimming through the infield with the speed of an express train.
 From the score good many errors were made. especially by the Nashville bunch. but at times the fielding was brilliant Greminger's one handed stab of fierce hit by Harry Bay in the fifth Inning, Daubert's one e-handed stop of Wisemans throw of Shannons hit In the seventh inning, and Wise mans work in getting Reagon out on the line between second and first and doubling shannon at first in the fourth
 
 together with the all round work of both teams.
 The Climbers hit Ss-nhard lots hard CT than the score snows. but sensa- tional fielding saved him.
 Bay walked in the first, got to second on Wfseman's hit to Pope and regis tered on Hardy's drive to center.
 In the third Perry let Hardy's hit get by him. the runner going to second. Cristal threw him out at third on Wise mans bunt. but Perry's bad throw to Hart let Hardy score.
 In the sixth Hunter hit by third and got to third when shannon let one of CristaFs fast ones get by him, scoring on Seigle's hit to right. Wtseman h1t to the dump for three Bags in the eighth and scored on Hardys drive.
 Hub Hart played fine first and Archie Persons did the hitting of the outfit. getting three of them.
 The waivers asked on Hassett had to be recalled and Manager Ryan re- signed him Wednesday night and will hold him until Kay comes, when he will be released again. Now there are exactly fifteen men on the team.
 Juul and Cristal will be worked in the Birmingham games next week, Ryan wanting to put in a couple of left-handers against Molesworths ag- gregation.
 Guese will work tomorrow and Thomas will pitch the opening game in Birmingham.
