Nashville, July 2o.-(Special,) IA brace of costly errors on the part of Nashville. coupled with two hits off Kroh and a free pass from the same source today gave Birmingham the vie tory over Nashville by a score of to 0. All of this happened in the first inning. for after that time the contest was an accumulation of goose eggs throughout the remaining eight frames. If the errors had not been made there were some who thought they would have been battling until darkness came, but they were made just the same, and from that time on Mir. Hardgrove. who twirled for the Barons, wore an all to the 'isch ka bibble' air.
 When Marcan. first up, grounded out to Hemingway down the third base line. it looked as if Kroh was going to retire the Barons runless. McDon- ald however. drew a base on balls and on Carroll's hit through second Mcdonald advanced to third. Carroll stole second while Knisely went out on a high foul. Covington then hit to first where Paulette juggled and let the ball pass on which Mcdonald scored. Covington vending his way to second. Mcbride hit to Hemmingway who made an error in wild peg to first and Carroll scored Ellam then hit one to deep center for two bags which scored Covington and Mcbride. This ended the run getting not only for the inning but the entire game.

JOHNSON SAYS AMERICAN
 LEAGUE MAY CLOSE

President Ban Johnson of the Ameri- can league today called a meeting of the American league club owners for tomor- row morning. Johnson today stated that an order calling for a strike of Ameri- can league players, if carried out, would cause the immediate closing of all Amer iean league baseball parks until such time as the players agreed to return un- der such conditions and penalties as might be imposed by the league.
 President Tener. of the National league was absent from the city today and Sec retary John A. Heydler. acting as exeeu- tive declined to discuss the federation ease.
 One baseball authority expressed the belief that the closing of the ball parks of the entire American league circuit would prove more disastrous, from d financial standpoint, to the ball players than to the baseball magnates. Accord ing to this authority the receipts have not been up to the standards of other sea- sons
 President Fultz, of the federation. to- right issued lengthy statement defend ing the stand of the players fraternity. It is said that the Kraft case, while now the main point at issue, was only one oi the causes of differences between the federation and organized baseball. It declared that the Cincinnati agreement entered into between the players and the magnates last year, had been violated by club owners dozens of times. and that a few of the magnates "have not even made pretense of living up to the agree fnant

SUNDAY BASEBALL
 IN MONTGOMERY IS
 TO BE CONTINUED

Montgomery July 20-tSpeeinl)-N No further effort will be made to stop Sun day baseball in Montgomery, according to an announcement made by the manage ment of the Montgomery Baseball asso- citation. The announcement was made following a conference between man. agers of the local association and mem- bers of the Sunday closing league.
 The baseball association represented to the Sunday observance advocates that it would work great hardshi pupon the association if Sunday baseball We're stop ped. inasmuch as it would materially ef- feet the clubs revenue. It was shown that the club ;s already a losing propo- sition, and that to stop Sunday games would work d great hardship upon the clubs franchise.
 It is understood that as a result Of tho agreement no further efforts will be made to stop Sunday baseball this sea- son, though no promise has been made for the future.

ARBITRATION ON PURCHASE
 MAY TERMINATE CASE

It apepared to be the belief of the followers of baseball that the Kraft case would be settled by the acquisi- tion of Kraft through purchase by one of the major league clubs or by sub. hitting of the case to a board Of arOi- tration.
 President Ban Johnson of the Ameri- can league said he received his first intimation of the proposed strike yes terday. He immediately called q meet ing of the American league club owners for tomorrow. MT. Johnson said:
 The club owners of the American league are a unit in this matter The can league. It is purely a National thing regarding the case in particular.
 If the players of the various clubs in the American league strike on We'd nesday, 1t will be a direct violation of their contract.
 If they walk out we will close every one of our parks and not reopen until such time as we have convinced the bail players that they do not run the Amer ican league. If the federation calls out our players on strike it is war tp the finish between the American league and this players organization.
 "The ball players under contract 10 our league cannot run the league or die tate the policy of It's club owners or of flcials. The sooner this Is understood by these players the better it will be for them, otherwise they will be without employment so far as we are concerned for sometime to come.

TULTZ SAYS OTHER

It added that players had been re- leased without the required preliminary notice, or suspended without pay and no reason for their suspension assigned and that Secretary Farrell of the na- tional board of arbitration, to whom five or six cases of players claims had been submitted, had not acknowledged receipt of any of them.
 "The boys have espoused Krafts cause as eagerly as they would have that of the greatest star" the statement of MT. Fultz says. They feel that if the agreement Is going to be lived up to only in part. they should as well know 1t now as at any other time.
 Weeks ago we requested of the com mission that the matter be arbitrated,

Hardgrove Stops vole

Callahan, first up for the Volunteers. drove out a hit that perched him on first and 1t looked as though the Vols were going to even up the score a bit but they reckoned wrongly. Hardgrove settled down to a steady stride. Day ton, left fielder for the Vols, landed on first because Covington failed to have his foot on the bag. Callahan got out and a double oh Sloan's drive to Ellsm cut off Nashvilles chances.
 That the Barons attained the four runs, however Is due in a large meas ure to errors on the part of Hem mingway, who made a wild peg to Paulette, and damaging one by the first saeker Later in the game Sloan drew an error for muffing a fly from Knisely's bat but this had no effect on the contest, since it had long before been hopelessly lost.
 All told, Nashville accumulated five birgles off of Hardgrove at scattering intervals. while the Barons secured but four off of Kroh. It was a fast. peppery game with the Barons work ing like wildfire on the bases and fielding the hall in such a manner that hits were difficult to wedge through. Hardgrove had perfect control, not a Vol drawing a pass. He had habit of shipping over two strikes and then making the batsmen bite at wide ones.
 Kroh pitched good game in fact, d winning game, and never let up his steadiness although the odds were placed against him heavily from the start. The teams broke even on the series of four games. The Barons left tonight for Birmingham to meet the I,ool outs

the winner will go a cup emblematic of the city championship while the re- maining player will also be rewarded with a trophy for being the runnerup.
 In the early rounds of the tourna- ment both Baugh and Davis played evenly, and the match this afternoon will undoubtedly be close and well con- tested.
