GOOD BASEBALL
FOR BIRMINGHAM
SEVERAL OF THE NATIONAL AND
AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAMS
HAVE CONTRACTS FOR PRAc-
TIcE GAMES IN SPRING.

The Birmingham Baseball association
has closed contracts with several of the
big league teams for practice games dur
ing the early part of next season. and
the baseball public viii be furnished with
some great sport. Coffee f. Jackson,
secretary and treasurer of the local asso-
citation, has returned from Cincinnati
where he went to consult with some of
the baseball men in regard to a manager
for next season, and has announced the
following games for next spring:
New York National League). March 81.
Boston National League). April l.
Cincinnati National League), April 3, 4.
Cleveland (American League). April 6.
Z, 8.
Lajoie. the great hitting second base
man, will be here with Cleveland, and is
expected to prove quite a drawing card.
On account of their success in drawing
crowds last season Cleveland has con.
scented to play three games.
Birmingham has quite a reputation in
the east as a crowd-drawing city. and
other big teams may be induced to come
here for practice.
In this connection it is reported that
an effort is being made by some of the
Southern League cities to make Birming-
ham headquarters for the Southern
League on account of its central loca-
ton. This city is more accessible to all
the league towns than any other place
in the circuit and leading baseball men
say should be made headquarters for the
officials. Something along this line may
be done at the next meeting of the board
of directors. AS Birmingham furnished
most of the crowds last year and is the
center of attack this year by outside or
CARNATIONS, the. move would probably
be a good one.

2wo DEER TO ONE BULLET.
Mr.. Johnson Surprise When he Discov-
cred Result Of Shot.

Clarence s. johnson, a clerk in a
Portland (Me.) store, has made a rec
ord rarely equaled in the annals Of
deer hunting in Maine. Usually
sportsmen are happy when they bring
home one deer as result oftheir stay
in the woods, but Mr.. johnson, says
the New York Sun, beat all the hunt
ers out when he brought two deer
with a single shot.
johnson, his brother Wilbur and
Charles H. Luryey went to West Sc
bois two weeks ago for big game. The
morning after arriving at the little
town Clarence started off alone in the
woods for the day.
He tramped along patiently all the
forenoon and was beginning to think
that game was pretty scarce when he
caught sight Of a larg doe staring at
him from a cIump Of spruce. With
ont taking much notice Of his sur
roundings, johnson put his rifle to
his shoulder and fired.
The doe fell in her tracks and the
gunner hurried up to make sure that
the animal had been killed. Muchto
his surprise he found a large buck "
ing beside the doe also quite dead,
having been killed BY the same bull
let that brought down the doe.
johnson found that the bullet
from his rifle had gone clear through
the breast Of the doe, and out behind
one Of its shoulders and, continuing,
had struck the buck %squarely be-
tween the eyes. The buck had been
feeding behind the doe and was hid
den from Johnson when he fired.
