PROTEST OF GAME
LOST BY DODGERS
New York, August 4—President Lynch
of the National league,* in a decision an
nounced today, held that the result of the
protested Brooklyn-Cincinnatl game** of
July u, which Cincinnati won 6 to 3,
stands as played. The Brooklyn club
protested because of a decision by Umpire
Quigley, who allowed Player Moran but
one base on a wild pitch on which mlsplay
Moran had advanced from first to third.
The evidence submitted by Umpire Quig
ley and Captain Hoblitzell, according to
President Lyndh’s decision, showed that
on the" first day of the Brooklyn-Ctn
clnnati series. Manager Dahlen had made
a ground rule allowing but one base on
a pitched ball that hit the grandstand.
As both clubs agreed to this rule Presi
dent Lynch held that the protest of the
Brooklyn club had no force.

Steelmakers took the first game of the
series w'hich probably will decide the
championship in the ‘‘Gal’’ race. The

Werner made sevral circus catches, his
best coming in the ninth, when he took
in Cooper's fly almost at tile fence after
a long run. Pezold's peg home to catch
Cole at the plate was perfect. The fielders

By REUBEN A. LEWIS
Nashville, Tenn., August 4.—(Special)
Bobbling in command of a domineering
lead, the Barons were trounced oy the
lowly Vols 7 to 6. Bill Foxen baffled
the Vols in the early rounds, while
Williams was walloped timely, but the
Birmingham inner defense suffered a
reversal of form and Southpaw Williams
registered a close victory after an ex
citing close.
Helpless before Foxen in the opening
rounds, Nashville was slowly yielding
to the heavy sticking of the Barons
and it seemed as if a luscious victory
would be secured. Thu Volunteers
opened an assault witli the willow and
then a series of belated bobbles en
dowed the Schwartzmen with the lead.
Williams was never puzzling and
Molesworth’s henchmen effected a rally
in the ninth which fell by a bir.gli
tally.
Two Home Runs
With terrific drives. McDonald and
Knisely drove out home runs within
the spacious field. McDonald's rap oc
curred with the, hassocks empty, but
Knisely e crack scored Messenger in
Hie third. Despite thu tdinely rapping,
wild heaves by McDonald and Marcan
permitted three runs in the seventh,
allowing the Vols to Burmour.t the
lead. In the ninth Birmingham threat
ened to capture the battle, but Wil
liams checked tne activities with one
run needed to tie the struggle.
After a threatening arst Birmingham
•scored two in the third. With Foxen
cut, McDonald clouted a terrific drive
over Daley's head and completed the
circuit. Messenger singled to right but
was downed attempting to steal. Mc
Bride was hit and swiped second
Knisely uncorked a sizzling single tc
center and McBride tallied on a dar
ing slide.
T-he count swelled to four in the fifth,
thanks to the prowess of Pete Knisely!
With one out, Messenger reached lirst on
Williams' error and purloined second. Mc
Bride advanced him to third, Knisely
sent tlie pellet soaring over the bull in
left Held and was awarded home, conten
tion being that the ball disappeared from
sight.
The Vols opened their encroachment on
the Baronial count with one run In the
fourth. Callahan singled to center, but
Spratt and Gibson popped. On a wild
pitch Cally speeded to second. Young was
walked, but Perry hit past third, counting
Callahan.
Artie Hoffman responded with a double
in the sixth and scored two. Spratt sin
gled, wlille Gibson popped and Young
forced Spratt with a grounder to Ellam
Foxen walked Perry, and Hoffman drove
a long double to the sunfield, clearing the
sack.
Prodded by the assaults, Foxen in
creased his speed, but errors robbed him
of the game. Williams was struck by an
erring slant. Daley attempted to sacri
fice, but McDonald fumbled the rap and
both were sate. Cally followed with a
grounder, but McDonald steadied, took de
liberate aim and heaved erratically to
first. Returning the ball slowly, Marcan
uncorked a wild heave, but Callahan was
stopped at third. Tile umpire declared
that tlie runner was due home, as the
throw lilt the back stop. This ended the
Vols’ scoring.
McBride and Knisely lined out to Dailey
in the eighth, but Mayer fanned. In the
ninth Williams grew wild, passing Me
Gllvray and Marcan. Ellam rapped a
grounder to Perry and just prevented a
double play, Marcan retiring.
Clifton, hitting for Foxen, hoisted to
Young. McGilvray feigned, drew a wild
return and scared, Ellam reach]ng second.
McDonald hit a Texas leaguer to center
and Ellam counted. Messenger could do
no better than a grounder, and the rally
fell short by a single talley.

“Hitless Wonders’’ Win
Washington, August 4.—Chicago
players lived up to their reputation
as “hitless wonders” when they de
feated Washington today 5 to 3. The
visitors were outbatted more than two
to one, but their hits, coupled with
Washington's misplays, and two bases
on balls by Engle, who started for
Washington, gave them a lead which
Washington could not overcome. Both
Russell and Engle were forced to re
tire. Score:

hit hard, but Fisher kept the visitors'

many chances to score by poor base run

to win In the Beventh when they scored
five runs, four coming In after Cobb’s

By IlUliHUM A. LEWIS
Nashville, August 4.—(Spe
cial.)—Although the Bar
ons’ machine Increased Its
efforts as the result of a change in
hatting order, the locals again
were downed by errors. Foxen had
a tremendous amount of ‘‘stuff"
but could not achieve triumph.
Williams was batted for the same
number of hits but was often saved
by a catch of hard lilt line drives.
* • •
The elevation of McDonald to the
lead off resulted from McDonald
proving as able a critic of balls and
his superior hitting. Mayer was
advanced to fifth place and Mc
Bride elevated to third, Knlsely
will continue as “clean-up" hitter.
• * •
With the sale of Brackenridge to
Madison, Bill Schwartz initiated a
series of expected changes. In all
probability. Bob Bumgardner will be
among the next to draw a release,
while Daley is slated for the tin
ware. After a wonderful start,
Bumgardner slumped in hitting und
grew more erratic. Spratt, ob
tained from Selma, is swatting vic
iously and fielding in fine style.
Daley is improving.
• * •
Today Pitcher Hinton reported.
Boland is eager for a trial, while
Bunting is on the inelltzable list
with the removal of Akron as
Nashville farm. Just where Bum
gardner will go is uncertain. Cleve
land had an option upon him and
had he made good Bobby might
have been given a major league
trial.
• • •
Wee Willie Trough will appear to
morrow in an effort to land his ninth
straight game. Either Beck or Boland
will oppose him. The Tower of
Strength declares himself fit for the
fray, and the Barons will probably
land the battle. Although the VoIh
lost 12 and won 4 on the last road
trip, they are playing swell ball now.
The prospects of purchases from the
Barons are growing slim. With but
a few days before the last date of pos
sible sales, Manager Moles worth an
nounced he hadn't received a single in
quiry about any of the players. Kniwe
ly, 1’rough, Mayer and McDonald may
go higher by options, but the others
have not attracted the majors thus far.
It was expected that Bob Messenger
would be sought after, but it is prob
able that the drafts will catch him.
On the Vols a deal for Kid Williams
is hanging Are. The diminutive left ;
hander has drawn an offer ot $3600 1
from the Brooklyn club, but the
Nashville club wants $5000. Williams
has pitched effectively and may go
higher. Brooklyn has an option to
bid for him. Cincinnati and Boston
also bid, but Brooklyn will land him.
• • «
On the road the Barons perform
with a lot of pepper and appear In
the rowdy role on the lines. Eddie
McDonald and Rube Evans are loud
with noisy chatter, while the others
cavort In live style. In the shadows
of Kirkwood the Barons are quiet
compared to their foreign appearance.
On the 'bus going to the grounds,
the Rarons Kid the Nashville fane,
flirt with tho lddtes and joke among
themselves. It is a lively bunch of
pluyers.
• * •
Should the occasion demand It,
Chubby Carlton Molesworth would don
his glove and return to the game.
During the season. Molesworth has
worked out with the Barons and de
clares that his batting eye Is as keen
as ever it was.
"I believe 1 can play tn mid-season
form," avers the manager. "At bat,
I cait crack them to all corners of the
field, while my speed In the field has
not been diminished."
In the garden during practice today,
the former star was snagging every
hoist and flopping lb mid-season form.
But Molesworth believes that a bench
manager is far superior to a playing
pilot.
