It was nothing doing for the people from Tennessee until the ninth when a single and four-bagger put over a couple of runs and left one run shy between Nashville and another tangle In the tally sheet.
 Jimmy Ryan's big pitcher had lots more than enough to beat this Nash vile gang. He was admirably steady in pinches and of his five strike-outs several of them came at time when even a scratch would have done ip- calcuiable damage. Nof one of the three passes that he handed out amount ed to anything--from the tap of the gong he had Bernhard's people going, and was never in trouble until the last half of the ninth when they threat ened to make a game rally--but Whitey stood 'em off all right, at the end.

 In the seventh Jack Hardy had to quit the game because he stood right over the plate when Pope was hurry ing in from third on a double steal 1.
