Norman Baker, the pitcher, has Joined
Ford's Opera Company. He made his
debut at Memphis, appearing as the
"Mikado" in the opera of that name. He
was well received, and the critics praised
his work. His voice is described as one of
great range and power, very full aud
resonant. He had been studying all win
ter in Nashville under the best vocal
teacher in that city, and she secured the
engagement for him.
Nashville decided to select dark blue
uniform for the locals, but the fact that
three Southern League clubs have al
ready selected this necessitates a change.
A young lady suggested the light gray
suits as OF last season, with brown cap,
stockings and trimmings. For home or
change suit, she suggests white uniforms
with bright scarlet trimmings. These
will probably be adopted.
The Savannah uniform will be blue
shirts, pants and caps, old gold stockings
and belt; Augustus, white shirts, pants
and caps, red stockings and belts;
CharlestOn's, light gray shirts, pants and
caps and blue stockings and belt;
Macon's will be dark gray shirts, pants
and caps and red stockings and belts;

and caps and maroon stockings and belt;

| felt for the club, as provided by the by
laws of the league, and arrangements
! were made to release several of the weak
players now under contract. l.. r. East
man was elected a director to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of j. 0.
Hamilton. Manager Goldsby has arrived
for permanent stay. John r. Mayberry,
who represented Nashville at the late
schedule meeting, is very much impressed
with Manager Morton, OF the Sayannahs.

will only back Morton up in his efforts,
they will either win the pennant or be
very close to the lead at the end Of the
season.
