 Special to The Age-Herald Augusta, April 25.-Birmingham today took the first of the series in the hottest game that has yet been seen on the Au- gusta diamond. Augustus heavy hitters were unable to hit Switzers swift balls. The game was of the snappiest sort, the playing on both sides being quick and gen. erally of the one, two, three order or the three runs made, two were scored by Gilligan, who was much admired by those present. The Birminghams are considered the strongest team Augusta has yet met, and tomorrow's game promises to be most Score by innings:
 RHE Augusta. ...... .... 0000OOO0 2-2 4 5 Birmingham. ... :. 0 000020 0F-3 3 Batteries-Mains and Armstrong; Switzer and La Porte

 Two base .hits-M Mcdonald, 2. A telegram was received by The Age Herald last night from Manager Frank Haller saying that vallendorf, the right fielder, had been released, and two other outfielders signed. They are White and Houseman, both of whom have been play ing with Atlanta this season. White is with the Reds at present, and Houseman will join them on their return home. White is reputed to be an extremely fast fielder but a comparatively weak hitter. Houseman is well known in the southern 1ao oe11sa hau rlo xyad xrit nr1a in 1S96 He is both a good fielder and hitter.
 Manager Haller contemplates further changes upon the teams return to this city.
