VOLS SCORE VICTORY
 AND CINCH PENNANT

Nashville. September 1.-NnshvilIe cinched the Southern association pen- nant this afternoon by taking the sec ond game from Little Rock to 1 while New Orleans was idle. With a nine-game lead over the Pelicans and both teams having but eight games to play, Nashville can lose every game until the season closes and win the pennant.
 The game today was marked by fre- quent changes and tense situations. Both teams had innumerable Opportu- nities to score, the work of all four pitchers being faulty. Poor base rum ming lost the game for the visitors, Barbare being trapped off second in the seventh with none out just after he had scored Kirby, who previously tripled for the visitors only run.
 Rogers relieved Wells in the eighth with one out and runners on third and first. Jacobson hit to Sheehan and aft CT Starr had been run down Street ran to second and threw to Kores, who tagged out Covington. Errors by Ja- cObson and Kirby, which followed hits enabling Nashville to win the game. The score:

Hans Wagner Out for
 Remainder of Season

Pittsburg, September 1.-Honus Wagner, veteran shortstop of the Pittsburg Ma tionals, will probably not be able to play again this season on account of a series of injuries received during the past month.
 He was out for 10 days as result of badly injured thumb and a lacerated fln- ger and when these wounds had healed. twisted ligament in his leg This in- jury was improving slowly when Wednes- day, in the first game with Boston, Wag. ner went in as pinch hitter and again hurt his leg.
 As there Is only one more month of the season the short stops friends say he will probably remain on the bench while number of recruits will be tried out in his position.

George M. Church tonight was the favorite of the eastern contingent and the west pinned it's faith on the ability of William M. Johnston, victor year ago, although it is conceded that Of the remaining eight players in the tournament, R. Norris Williams, II, and Clarence J. Griffin had chance. Douglas s. Walters, southern cham pion, was the south's hope. M
 Church defeated Mclaughlin 5-7, 6-1 6-2 6-3. Johnston easily eliminated Leon- ard Beekman at 6-2, 6-3, 6-S. Williams came through at the expense of William J. Clothier, whom he defeated 5-7, 7-5, 6-4, 6-1. Griffin put out E. H. Whitney, R. Mccormick of California, 6-2, 6-3, GA. Wallace F. Johnson easily disposed of w. Merrill Hall, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. Watson M Washburn won from William B. Davis, holder of the clay court cham pionship, 6-3. 4-6, GA, 7-5.
 GALLERY FOR M'LOUGHLIN
 While the defeat of Mclaughlin had been forecast, the gallery of more than 5000 spectators was eager for a victory by the player who, when at the top of his tennis career defeated the greatest players the world has ever seen. Mo- Loughlin, however, clearly showed that he no longer had the old speed and stamina. At times he flashed as in the old days, but against the smashing play Of his towering adversary he was in the long run powerless
 Although he won the opening set after it had gone to deuce, Mclaughlin could not keep the pace. Church piled into the net with every service and at other opportunities, and there took his stand. With his great height and reach it proved almost impossible for Mclaughlin to pass him overhead along the side li1.es with consistency. Mclaughlin showed that he had made efforts to change the style of his play with in- creasing years and he might have been more successful against player less physically equipped for the game than Church. Just as he eliminated Ichiya Kumaga the Japanese champion, early in the week, so he went after McLough- lin and the end was in sight before the second set had been finished.
 Mclaughlin appeared to tire quickly toward the end of the match, and fre- queEtly let shots go by without an at- tempt to reach them. In the final set he took desperate chances for a short period and lashed the ball so fast and vicously that he seemed to have re- gained his former racquet wizardry. For a few moments he could not apparently drive the ball out of court, and Church was helpless before the lightning at tack and marvellous placing, while the spectators stood up and fairly shrieked

 Smoky Bob Loveless, the star finger drafted by the Dodgers from the Avondale Millers, hurled splendid game and was accorded excellent sup port until the ninth, when three hits and one error gave the visitors their lone tallies Iloveless had the Brands at his mercy, however, striking out IA of the visitors.
 George Dell started the game for the Brands but errors, followed by time 1y hitting gave the locals big lead. Godfrey succeeded him in the sixth in ming and held the locals scoreless for the remainder of the game
 BIG TAYLOR DELIVERS
 The Dodgers took the lead in the first inning. Carroll gained life on Zahn's error. Clayton bunted and was safe when Dell threw late to catch Carroll at second. Wyatt lifted long fly to center and the runners advanced bag. The game was then halted for a few minutes while Harry Jones pre- sented Homerun Taylor with medal for being the best hitter in the past elimination series. Taylor then fol- lowed with clean single to center, scoring Carroll and Clayton.
 The Dodgers added another tally in the second. Carroll hit hot one down the third base line which Middleton flagged and threw wild to first trying to register putout Carroll took sec ond on the error. Clayton singled to center and Carroll scored.
 The score was increased couple more in the next session. Carter was hit by pitched ball as an opener. Herr hit to Middleton and he fumbled it. Elders hit in front of the plate and was out at first, each runner advanc- ing a bag. Mackey hit to short and Carter was safe at the plate when Var din failed to tag him. Loveless hit to Zahn and Herr scored while Bob was being thrown out at first.
 FINAL SCORE MADE
 The scoring of the locals was com pleted in the next session. With one down Wyatt was safe on Midd1eton'S error but was forced at second by Tay Tor. O'Brien threw wild to the pitcher returning the ball and Taylor romped to second to score moment later on Carter's single to center.sgss- aA
 The Brands never had chance to score until the ninth when Bob eased up. Davis opened up with single to right, Schambein followed with Texas leaguer back of third which Mackey lost by some unknown means and the big outfielder reached third while Da- wis raced across the plate Eckert bounced one over Clayton and Schamlin scored. Eckhardt reached third when the ball took another bad hop and bounded over Carroll's head.
 Loveless then frightened and1 struck the next three batters out, including two pinch hitters.
 The Dodgers completely outc1assed The Brands, having the edge on the visitors in every department The vis- itors might have been suffering from stage fright" however, and may mak e better showing today.
 Ardis and Bryant will probably pitch the double bill today. The first game will be called at o'clock. Both games will go for nine innings.

Atlanta, September 1.-(Specialo The Crackers defeated the Barcns to- day to 2 in a listless game that dragged through over two hours of Hfeless playing with Perryman and Davis trying to see how long they could tnke to pitch n ball.
 The Barons connected for three solid smacks and three fluke hits that were 50 scored by one scorer and errors by another, 1t being entirely matter of opinion which way they were scored. The Crackers got six smacks with the same conditions, so it was a fifty-fifty proposition as far as this was con- cerned.
 Aside from a brilliant stop at short by Reilly, which robbed Caton of another hit which would have given him three for the day and which also kept Mike Hauser from clattering across the plate with what would have been at that time the teing tally. there were no features or either side.
 SNYDER MAKES DEBUT
 The debut of Frank Snyder, former Macon Sally league catcher. was brilliant from a local standpoint. He secured a scratch hit, taliied couple Of runs and stole two bases, besides catching splendid ball throughout.
 A fluke home run by Sam Mayer in the second inning put the Crackers in the lead, margin which they kept until the end, the ball. long fly, falling safe at the end of the bleachers with Coomps in hot pursuit and bouncing away from Lord Cecil into the negro bleachers, the first time such a wallop has occurred at Poncey since it was built.
 Scott Perry will face Karl Black or Dickie Robertson in Saturdays pastime Here's how they tailied:
 long drive to deep left by Mayer which bounced into the negro bleacners for a home run gave the Crackers one in the second.
 CRACKERS SCORE
 Snyders infield single. Davis sacrifice and McDonald's single gave the crackers another in the second.
 A base on balls to Hauser, wild pltcn and Reilly's error on Eschen's grounder put Hauser on third He scored when Smith hit into double play.
 Snyder lived on Caton's error Tn tne seventh. He stole second. Mcdonald walked. Smith threw to second to get Snyder and he went on to third, scoring on Caton's throw past Mcdonald.
 Coomb's triple and an infield out scored one for the Barons in the eighth.
