Nashville, June s.-(Special)- Vol unteers made it an even break with the Barons for the series by taking the final game this afternoon by the score of to 2. As far as the hitting was concerned the break was about even, but~the locals showed superior powers of concentration condensing more than half of theirs into the brief space of a single inning.
 The bottom completely fell out of the game at the halfway mark, up to which time 1t was nip and tuck, neither side be- ing able to get run across and each up to that time getting but a couple of safeties.
 Tannehill went all to the bad in the fifth. or the local hitters were all to the good for hits by Munson, Bay, Perry, Smith and Schwartz, Perry's and Smith s efforts being for extra bases, coupled with a walk to Doc Wiseman, waiter par excellence, and a wild heave by Johnson to second and one run counted for every hit registered five in all.
 Nashville made it's other run in the eighth by means of Schwartz's free trip to first Storch's sacrifice and Eindsay's clean punch to left.
 While Twirler Tannehill weakened sad ly in the box department al crucial period of play got stronger with the stick and the game progressed one of the two Baron tallies came from long drive by him in the eighth that cleared the right field fence a little deeper than did his managers effort of last Saturday.
 Birmingham is at least entitled to the honor of having put over two-thirds of the balls that have scaled the local fence this season, CaiEssan of New Orleans being the first to tdAShe trick. Unfor- tunately for the Bar&, there was no one on bases this time, and but a single run materialzed as the result of Tan nehilrs feat.
 The BaronsT first and only other run came in the sixth, when Elliott led off with a slsshing three-bagger to left, and l-sfter4 aannehll had walked, tailed or II Marcan's bounder that jumped over Red Smiths head. A fine opportunity was lost here through inability of the Barons 10 do any further safe hitting or even 10 drive out an infeld fly, for with one score and second and third occupied, and none down. nothing further resulted,
 Lindsay felded Molesworths easy grounder to first without any advance, Phelan went down by the strike-out route and Mcbride holsted a simple pop to Lindsay for the final out. The feature fielding work of the game was done by Yantz, who accepted several hard chances making up on almost every difficult pick up 6 neat and accurate throw.

And the Volunteers won again.
 At that Tannehin only gave up eight hits.
 In the fifth inning the Vols landed on the old man and pushed across five runs.
 Tannehill hit a home run in the eighth over the right field fence, but alas! no one was on bases.
 Tannehii gave five bases on balls, which coupled with the errors Of the Barons tells the story.
 By winning yesterday afternoon Nash vile broke even on the series. The Bar ons are now back to the 300 mark.

 Today they go to Chattanooga for four games. after which they return to Rick wood for protracted stay.
 Yesterday was an off day for Montgom- cry and Memphis.
 Atlanta at last broke the hoodoo yes- terday, and although the Crackers did not recover sufficiently to win, they held the Pels to a tie. Britton opposed Frazer and both pitched good ball.
 Chattanooss made it four straight from Mobile yesterday. More aid the trick, and it was necessary to go 10 innings to decide it. Both pitchers were hit freely. but sensational fielding kept down the scores.
 Nashville released "Bulp' Durham yes terday
 And Chappele let his former team hal His feat can be better appreciated when it is considered that his opponent was none other than Frank Allen, touted as the best in the league. This was Franks second defeat of the season and that Chappelle should have turned the trick was particularly humliating.
 When the trade of Demaree and Collins was announced the Mobile fans fell over themselves for joy. They thought that Chappelle for Demaree would have been a good one, but to get Collins also was great. And then to have the big fellow turn a trick like that.
 Ii remains now to be seen what De- maree -can do to the Lookouts Should he win both teams will probably be satis- fled, but if he should lose then the Gull fans will begin to get out their ham, mers .ind holler "bonehead."

POINTERS TO RANDOM

1 noon or Good Friday There are very excellent arguments in favor of the sport on Sundays, and great many people-a majority, probably-sanctlon the idea. But there should be no Sunday base ball when the playing of the game diss turbs the people whose homes are near the athletic field.
 When New Orleans and Nashville played in the latter city some Sundays ago. the Mems Christian association swore out an innumerable number of warrants. True bills were returned by the grand jury
 There were two fines inflicted, each ne- cessltating the payment of $25. The Nashville club paid these amounts There is the situation. The game was played before 1000 spectators. The Nash Vile club, out of it's half of the receipts from this splendid bunch of people, paid the fines willingly. The club was several hundred dollars ahead. And what is more, 1t was encouraged to try the scheme again. It remains to be seen just what will be the result of the second trial Nashville, however. will pay the damage, whatever it might be.
 Sunday baseball>is becoming exceed ingly popular everywhere, and within an- other ten years, there will be few cities in important leagues which do not permit the sport
 It is a fine thing when an attraction is offered which causes thousands of peo- pie to go out into the fresh air and open up their lungs Baseball is essentially a poor mans game. The rich drive their autos and play golf on Sunday. There probably should be some innocent amuse- ment for the man without the auto.
 And in this connection, what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander.
 Why does not the Mems Christian asso- citation of Nashville-or of any other city, as for that-stop the playing of golf on Sunday?
 Of each sport-golf and baseball-the main feature consists in swatting pill with a mallet.
 And a swat's swat, it matters not who the swatter. H. w. R.

Nashville authorities Sunday served 1SI warrants against the Barons, charging them with having violated the law of the state of Tennessee in that they indulged in a baseball game on the Sabbath.
 While the members of the Mems Chris tian association of Nashville have, it is more than probable, some excellent req sons for having pursued the course of serving each player with a warrant when ever said player got in hailing distance, it seems, from this angle, that 1t would have been wiser and more in accordance with the decrees of dignity had each man been served just onee-and let alone
 Sunday baseball is not a moral issue. It is matter of politics, pure and simple. If the law of the good old state of Ten nessee declares that athletes shall not play baseball on Sunday, then the athletes should not play.
 That is all the argument in the case.
 We cannot appreciate the participation in anti-Sunday baseball by the Mems Christian association. There are officers in Nashville sworn to enforce the law and to do their duty in all regards If the constabulary of Nashville will not en- force the law until spurred into realiza- ton of their duty by religious associa- tions, then the said officers should be dispensed with The great danger which religious organizations bring about when they participate in matters of politics is found in the fact that they go to such extremes that the subsequent ridicule robs their good intentions of dignity.
 Witness the hoots and misses of the spectators of Sundays game when the Mems Christian association turned free that avalanche of more than 300 warrants
 If the majority of the people of a com munity desire Sunday baseball, the legis- lature should give that majority the necessary laws.
 There is nothing immoral in game of baseball, whether played on Sunday after
