Nashville, August 23.—(Special.)—Bir mingham was defeated by Nashville to day In the baseball game by the narrow margin of one run. Birmingham played an uphill game and had to play against the local aggregation as well as Umpire Johnstone, who was very rotten In some of his decisions. Bir mingham seemed to have the game cinch ed In the second Inning when they pound ed Blackburn for six runs. They would have made more runs than that but the game had to be played on the Normal College grounds (an overflow In the park) and ground rules allowed only two bases on what were really three baggers. Sample was substituted for Blackburn In the third and held the visitors down, but one run being scored. The Fisher men steadily piled up runs until they had overcome the lead and won the game. A telegram was received tonight from Philadelphia announcing ithat the father of Charles Moss Is In a dying condition. Shortstop Moss left tonight for home. If he finds that his father has passed away he will return Immediately, but If not will stay with him. Manager Boles says this will be a serious loss ito the team. This will necessitate a change In the entire line up of the team. Clark goes from sec ond to short; Veltch from third to sec ond; Kalkhoff goes to third and Keefe will be put In the field. Manager Boles says he Just about had the team In good condition and this now breaks It up to a certain extent. Two games will be played tomorrow. Gillen will pitch the first game and Llpp the last. Llpp arrived from Charlotte last night and Is now with the team. Off leal score; Nashville— AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Nine players and the umpire were too much for Birmingham yesterday. Hard luck is still with the Birmingham team. The temporary absence of Mpss will leave a hole that it will be hard to fill. Yesterday was the second time the $300 beauty, smiling George, has been "peaches and cream" for the Boiler makers. Baseball games that have been won and lost by a single run in the National League this season are unusually nu merous. Of 359 games played 109 resulted in the manner mentioned. Left-handed twirlers in the National League have won fifty-seven games this year and lost seventy. In the American the south-paws have been more success ful, winning ninety-three and losing only seventy-eight. From the Nashville Banner. Nashville Is getting vulgar, says the Memphis Scimitar. Newt Fisher ought to know it’s not good manners to win every game he plays. He ought to be satisfied with 99 out of 100, or some rea sonable proportion like that But, no; Mr. Fisher wants all of ’em. He may not realize it, but he is making himself very unpopular in Memphis by his greedi ness. From the Chattanooga Times. Umpire Clark made his debut on the local professional diamond yesterday. Ho first officiated here about a month ago In an amateur game. As was said then, he Is an eminently Just umpire, and both sides got Justice. Mr. Clark allows no "monkey business," and he evidently means to have clean baseball In his games. Luck to you, Clark. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Brooklyn, 4; New York, 1.
