Standing.

The Birmingham baseball team re- turned last night and will open up with a hot game with Montgomery tomorrow at the ball park The game will be called at 4 o'clock Tickets will be on sale in town only at Solomon & Lewis, on Twentieth street and First avenue. Season tickets may be had on applica- tion to the president or secretary of the association.
 Speaking of the defeat in Montgomery, Manager Rouke says the boys are not yet well hardened and were stiff during the games. They couldn't run, but had to be batted around. He feels sure that they will Timber up and play great ball during the home stay.
 At Montgomery.
 Montgomery, April 1S.-(Special)-Fo eight long innings the Birmingham az gregation under the chaperonage of MT. Rourke. strove despera tely to get man over the home plate, but in vain. It did seem that luck was dead against the visi tors and fell in large chunks upon the locals.
 Twice the visitors had ample chances to score. A man was on the second and third bases each time. Two men were out. Both times the batters failed to grasp the opportunities offered by knocking out a hit. Even a scratch would have
 
 from an ignominious shut out In the eighth and last inning two men were out and Hoolihan had two strikes on him. Killum pitched him good ball and the short batter swiped it for what looked to be a home run. It went way down In deep left field. Hoolihan ran like a spripsel ,n race and was in 5 feet of the home plate. when the ball was quick ly felded and he was put out. It was the last chance for the visitors, and was not destined to be otherwise than 1t was.
 From the start the Montgomery boys were in the game and by timely hitting and errors on the part of the visitors piled up six scores. In the second two more scores were added. After this Bir- mingham settled down to business and held the locals down to goose eggs until the eighth and last inning, when they got onto Chaffin's curves again and knocked him at will, and made seven more runs. In this inning Pabst came near losing the ball, making home run before the sphere was fielded to the dia mond again.
 It is evident that the Birmingham team is no match for the Montgomery club. There is a sad lack of team work on the part of the visitors. Rourke at third made a very poor record, f1uking on four out of five chances. Gorton at second accepted three chances out of six. He was out of his beat today. Tebeau being laid off for some reason. It is noticeable that the visitors are very deficient in stick" work. Katz and Ryan played their usual good game No better players are to be found in the league than these two men. The team needs weeding out a bit and several important positions strengthened.
 The two teams leave tomorrow morn ing for Birmingham, where they play series of three games. It is very likely the Birmingham boys will show up to better advantage.
 The game was not called this after noon until 4 o'clock It grew too dark to finish the ninth inning, hence it was kAI

Washington Notes.

The Senate passed the bill granting
the widow of the late Secretary OF State
Gresham pension of 500 month.
Congressman Phillips presented the
petition of the w. {, 7. u, OF Centre
vile for the passage of a Sunday rest bill
for the District Of Columbia,
The Republican chaff was sorted from
the wheat Tuesday, when Senators Car
ter and Mantle, of Montana: Dubois, OF
Idaho; Teller of Colorado, and Cannon,
of Utah, voted again with the solid Dem
ocratic and Populist strength Of the SEN
ate against taking up the tariff bill. The
four lack rabbit Republicans who had
voted against taking up the.bill on Febly,
II, gained a recruit to-day in one of the
new Senators from Utah, and the motion
to proceed to the consideration Of the
House measure, which was made by the
venerable chairman of the Finance COM
m1ttee, Mr.. Morill, of Vermont, was de-
feated by a vote of 80 to II. To the
credit OF the other silver Republican
Senators, it must be said that they stood
by their party, all of them either voting
to take up the bill, or being paired to
that effect. Had the five Republicans
voted with their party the motion 10 con-
slider would still have been defeated, but
only by one vote, which is exactly the
majority the Democrats and Popu!lsts
have when voting solidly together. But
this is no excuse for their course and es-
pecially does it not excuse Senator Carter,
of Montana, chairman of the Republican
National committee. His position inten-
SITES his party treachery.

That Fall Of Dirty Snow.

The more we see and hear of It, the

There's sad truth, not to the credit of
human nature, in the remark of an un-
known exchange that men are like hogs
i'll many respects. When a hog gets an
ear of corn, every other hog will trot
along behind him and squeal and whine
and beg and toady for a bite, but let the
front hog get IN a tight place with his
head fast in crack, and every son Of a
SOW will jump on him and tear him to
pieces. Just so with men. As long as a
man is prosperous aud has money, he
can't keep friends off with a baseball
bat The moment he is unfortunate he
is snubbed. When he goes upgrade, the
world falls in behind and pushes. When
he starts down grade, the world steps to
one side aud greases the track.
