NOT so BRIGHT;
Such Is the Condition of the Base Ball Situation-The League Is Very Shaky.

Really nothing new has developed in the base ball situation, although MT. M. M. Ullman, the legal representative of AIessrs. Chamberlain and Staley, received a rather discouraging letter from the lat ter gentleman yesterday. The future of the Southeastern league is by no means sure, as Chattanooga is weakening and about to drop out.
 MT. Staley is still in the Tennessee city endeavoring to reorganize that assocfa- ton. If Chattanooga falls out the league will probably disband.
 MT. Chamberlain is in Cincinnati with his team of eleven men ready 10 come here at once when it is sure the league will sta md and that Birmingham has been gran;ed franchise. If the present asso- citation falls another league will probably be organized.
 It is rumored that Chattanooga has dropped out and a new league formed without Birmingham. However, nothing authentic has been received as to this, and the fans are yet hopeful.

Such Was the Share of All Who Went on the Cordova Picnic Yesterday
 Conducted Like Clock Work

About 300 merry picnickers went to Cordova yesterday morning with the St. Paul's Catholic Total Abstinence society and a gala day it proved to be.
 The train load of merry makers left the Union depot on time and the run. to the picnic grounds was made in good time. The grounds are beautifully To- cated although they are not completely arranged as they are only recently op- ened. The place is an ideal one for a days outing.
 The game of base ball was won by the BesSemer team after a very pretty strug- gle. All of the sports were lively and well enjoyed.
 On the grounds everything was con-
