possible to hold the meetings at that
time. Now, however, the need of such
work is more than ever felt and the
ministers have entered into work Of

back in the game and makes a misplay

on nearly every occasion If the utility
man is left in the game for week or two
he explodes and the regular has to be
hustled back to fill the breach.
There is a knaek of every position in
the game Every ball has to be played
differently from any other, and the
quick judgment of the infielder as to
how to play that ball so as to get 1t
sure and at the same time quickly
enough to retire the batsman is what
makes the good player The ball comes
differently to every infied position. At
third they come down sharp and fast
and 1t takes a quick man with good
judgment to field the position. AT short
The ball bounds longer, as rule. but
the throw to first is often long. and the
fielder must know how to get the ball
so as to be ahead of the runner. Then
at second the grass-choppers that roll
that way give the baseman a lot of
territory to cover. for the man at the
initial sack cannot run around as much,
for he is depended upon to be at the bag
when the batsman gets there.
Playing the infeld and outfield are
two very different things Ground balls
to The outfield must be blocked, for they
go bounding along and are not certain
as they are TO infleldeTs, where the dia-
mcnd is perfectly smooth. Fly balls, too,
must be Judged carefully and correctly.

the speed with which the bail is hit. A
line drive is the hardest proposition to
judge correctly. for il may keep rising
in the air and go over the fielders head.
or Il may drop dead after passing the in
field.
AN outfelder generally fas just the
reverse of experience of an infielder
when first going into the game. An in
fielder substituted for the regular man
almost always plays great game at
the position. An outflelder. on the other
hand, has hard luck almost as universal
ly and misjudges flies, because he is not
rsed to the depth of the held nor the
angle of the sun.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE STANDING.
GAMES YESTERDAY.
New Orleans, 6; Shreveport, 2.
GAMES TODAY.
Chattanooga at Birmingham.
New Orleans at Shreveport.
Little Rock at Memphis.
Nashville at Atlanta.

With reJuvenated team the Coal Ba-
rons open the series with Chattanooga
today and many of the fans who were
onoe the most ardent of knockers are
claiming at least two of the games for
Birmingham
Since the team has struck winning
gait an all round good feeling prevails
and on every hand are heard loud words
of praise for the work of Manager Will
helm In getting his men so thoroughly
organized. He has started them on team
work and In a few weeks expects to have
as fast team as the Southern League
affords. He has not only impressed the
men with his ability but they all seem
to like him personally and say they will
play winning ball If its in them.
While his team Is winning Manager Will
helm has not been asleep to the necessity
Of still strengthening and has two or
three men In view who have not SUI
perior out Of the big leagues II the con-
tracts can be successfully made these
men will report here within ten days
and then no team in the country will
have anything on the Coal Barons.
Al MllleT, IDe new OuI1elueTs arrived
last night accompanied by his wife, and
he will probably play In today's game
Frank, Latlmer and Leidy of Atlanta
and Manager Wilhelm say he Is one of
the best men in the baseball business
He Is a superb fielder, a swift base
runner and hits way above the 300
mark. He also has reputation for base
stealing that will make the far-famed
Abbatichio look to his laurels.
When Manager Wilhelm started out
many OF his friends feared that his
youth would handicap him in handling
a ball team. His marked executive abil-
ity soon dispelled all such thoughts and
he now has the respect and regard of
every man who has signed a Birming-
ham contract.
While the fans are expecting the Coal
Barons to numerically defeat the Chat
tanoogans, they must not forget that
the Mountaineers have also strengthen
ed. Chattanooga now has one of the
best clubs in the league and her hit
tiers are classed above the average.
