Nashville, Tenn, April 2S.-In spite of the fact that three Barons were thrown out at the plate this afternoon and the Volunteers managed to pile up ten safe swats, Birmingham trimmed Nashville. and finished the third battle on the heavy end of a 1 to 1 score.
 The Barons entered the game with Henry Meek, the hard-hitting first saeker, on the bench. and with Bill Douglass playing the initial corner. an arrange ment which resulted in the Vaughnites fighting an errorless fight. Douglass handled himself in fine shape and accept ed his every chance perfectly. In addi- tion, he beat out a hit to short in the first inning for which the official scorer for some reason fails to give him credit.
 Fleharty pitched a masterful game in spite of the ten hits that he yielded. He was safe throughout and with a single exception allowed no hit when the plate was threatened. He was cool from be- ginning to end, and never for an instant did he discontinue his grind that kills.
 Duggan. excepting the frs inning. was in fine shape and, luck making up for IHe ueltClS OL HiS Suppoili cSNdp0o sb severe trouncing. The fact that three Barons were thrown out at the plate re- moves the Nashville claim that bad field ing lost the day for them.
 The Barons' most effective work was done in the first inning. Molesworth led off with d single Houtz, attempting to sacrifice, beat out his hit to third, and when Duegan tried to hea9 Molesworth off at the tertiary pillow on the hit of Douglass all hands were safe.
 There was a bit of defiance in Raub's eye as he approached the pan. He was stinging under the defeat of the previous day. At any rate, he met the nose of the . first ball that Duggan dished across the plate, and smashed it to left for two sacks. Molesworth, Houtz and Douglass tallied.
 In the fifth Steve Reagan, with one down. led off with a double to center. After Walters had gone oue easily Fle- harty uncorked a triple to left, which placed the runner across the pan. This was the end of the Barons scoring.
 In the sixth the Volunteers for the single time during the game punched their hits and Daubert scored The chee: that greeted this performance was frozen In the threats of the Nashville rooterS.
 Mccormick and Re gan were the lead ing htters of this afternoon the first getting three in five trials and the latter three in four efforts.
 The game was played in fast time, un der clear though wind-swept sky.
