For the first time in three years the fans will have an opportunity to see a frst-class game of baseball played in Bir- mingham. They have waited long and pa- tientiy for the coming of this day, and In the meantime have whetted thelr appe- tites for the sport.
 From present indications the seating capacity of the grand stand and the bleachers at the Seventh street park will be taxed to It's utmost to accommodate the great crowd that will go out to wit ness the game. The grand stand has a seating capacity of over 800 and the bleachers nearly 1000
 Manager Mills has made some changes in the diamond, bringing the home plate nearer the grand stand and moving third base further from the bleachers. This arrangement leaves large space just 10 the east of the bleachers for vehicles. No vehicles will be allowed on the opposite side of the diamond. Vehicles will enter the park at Seventh street
 The main entrance to the park is at Sixth street, near the grand stand. The electric cars will stop at Sixth street and First avenue. A board walk four feet wide has been built from First ave- nue to the main entrance. The ticket of flee Is located few feet to the east of the gate.

The rule which requires the catcher to stand ten feet behind the plate during the entire game will also be rescinded by the South ern League, and practically the rules for playing the great game are the same as they were last season.
