alb leto secure places, which will prob
ably be the case with most of them, il
will be pretty hard on them. At the same
time they are not i'm a position to sign
with any other club, as they have signed
contracts to play with Savannah, and
could be blacklisted if they did not keep
to their contracts
Manager McFarlan writes that he has
released Bob Langsford. He intimated
in a former letter that he would let Langs-
ford go and his release is not a surprise
He has signed in his place Joe Brodie
who is said TO be a much faster man
than Laugsford.
McFarlan has also signed another
catcher. His name is Andy Kelley and
McFarlan says lie is a formidable candi-
date for big league company. He is a
big fellow, standing six feet three inches
is a hard hitter and fast man. He nas
also signed another pitcher, Tom Flana-
gan. Flanagan has a national reputation
having played in the Western, Eastern
and Pennsylvania State Leagues.

the report that Maj Winters of the street
railway company, who holds the fran
Chise, was backing the club and that Jack
Hess had been signed to manage the Cen
tral City team, the Macon papers say that
the club has no financial backing. 1t is
stated, however, by President Bosche that
Maj. Winters will support the team and
there you are. Its another case of you

Savannah is in most peculiar position.
IL has manager engaged, a team of some
twenty men signed-and a good one at
that-and at the same time there is no
one here who will take the matter in hand
and procure financial backing for the
club. Here is the best base ball city in
the league going begging for the want of
few paltry dollars to start the team.
There is hardly a doubt but what the
money could be raised if some one would
take the responsibility of raising it, but
there seems to be no one who will take
the matter in hand. It would not take a
very great amount of money to run the
club and surely Savannahs hundred of
enthusiasts are not going to let the league
fall through for the want of money.
There is one thing as certain as death

Six Months.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. GA deal has
just been contaminated whereby Birming
ham is to have steel plant within six

Some ten days ago President Caldwell
