BY BILL AK.

The Barons defeated Nashville yester- day afternoon in the last game of the series. the final score being to l.
 "Tuck" Turner was pitted against Hub Perdue and the local man had all the best of the argument. Turner, in faet' pitched a masterful game and would have had a shutout but for two reasons;
 d) Bill Douglass threw badly to third attempting to kill Hunter.
 CD No man backed up Downey when Bill made that throw.
 But as the Barons got busy immediately, and won out in easy fashion, the little error and the single score are by this time forgotten.
 The feature of the game was Turner's pitching.
 The Baron twirler walked through the ranks of Bill Bernhard's Nashville aggre- gation time after time, and escaped with but two hits.
 And these singles fell far apart
 Other features of the game were:
 d) The hitting of Downey, Molesworth and Demont.
 O. The fielding of Demont and Downey. (S) Four lightning double plays by the Volunteers.
 ttD The clever work of Catcher Holmes. After the game the Volunteers scraped the dust of Birmingham from their bodies and, planning to wallop Atlanta tomorrow, took the train homeward. Harry Vaughns men, feeling much better over the break ing of their "hoodoo," are now prepared

 The only chance that the Volunteers had to score was in the first inning.
 Bill Bernhard's crew didn't awaiting the coming of a second opportunity either, with the result that in the begin ming one man registered on the immortal roll.
 This man was Hunter. He was first up for Nashville and received a walk. Wise man put him down to second. When Me Cormick went out from Turner to Doug lass. Hunter attempted to take third. Douglass threw to Downey, but threw badly, and because no one was backing up that corner Hunter ambled home with a great deal of ease.
 
 Volunteers circled the bases, and after this inning they no more threatened to cross the pan.
 In the second inning the score was tied. Catcher Holmes was first up and was passed. Downey sacrificed him to second. He took third on wild pitch and scored when Demont hit to deep center for three bags. Reagan flied out to McElyeen and Walters famed
 In the third a double play ended what ever chance the Barons had to score, but in the fourth the locals ran ahead Doug lass. first up, led off with long single to left. was sacrificed by Holmes, went to third on Downeys short single and crossed the pan when Seabaugh dropped McCormick's return to the plate of De- monts infield hit.
 Demont and Downey then executed d fast double steal, but another double play put an end to the threatening situation. In the fifth Walters was walked. Turner famed. Molesworth hit safely between first and second. But Houtz hit to Butler and was, with Molesworth, doubled into B bowknot.
 But in the sixth the Barons got another runner across the pan after the fourth double play had marred the early chances. With two down Downey hit to deep left for two bags. Demont then dipped tender bing1e over the first sack and Downey chased home from the keystone.
 The last run of the game came in the eighth after Holmes had famed. Downey hit softly in front of the plate and his speed put him on first in ad- vance of the ball. McElveen's throw, furthermore, was very wild. and the runner tapped the keystone. Demont then got his third hit of the game, and Downey scored the fourth, and his second run of the afternoon.
 Turner was going like race horse when Nashville took it's half of the ninth. Hardy, batting for Perdue, dis tinguished himself by striking at three bad ones. Hunter hit to Bill Douglass and was as dead as if he had hit to Lew Walters. Wiseman, more fortu-
