AVERAGE OF BLACK SoX.
Work of Montgomery Ball Team
 Showed Up We'll.

of the Blacx sox is Commented on by the local fans generally. and the opinion seems to be, that Manager Whistler has rounded up an aggregation that will easi. ly hold anything in the Southern League safe.
 The averages herewith presented are for the seven games up to and including the tWelve-fnning tie game Friday afternoon.
 When the fact Is taken into considera- toon that the team has been up against such pitchers as Owens and Patterson of Comiskey's Chicago White Sox Willis and Malarkey of Buckenburger's Boston Nationals. and Eason. Mullin, Donovan, kitson, kissinger and Deering of Man ager Barrow's Detroit Tigers. the hitting of the locala is remarkable.
 Ike Durett heads the batting with nine hits in the seven games. Spratt and Stickney come next with six hits in the seven games, Stickney being at bat three more times than Spratt, brings his aver age trifie lower than the guardian of the third bag.
 The fielding of the locals is extremely credtable and will compare favorably with anything in the South. Wilkie Clark leads the fielding with only one error in twenty-nine chances, an average of .966. Whistler's fielding record sets pace that. if his team follows, will have em all skinned. Out of seventy-two difficult chances on first base he has only three errors an average of .960 Kid Bush at short has only two errors out of mir ty-lNe chances, averaging S4o. JACK Ely has fielded his position better possibly than any of the pitching staff, having eight assists and one putout in his four games.
 Raining has had the best control of the pitchers. giving only one base on balls in his three games. Polchow's bases on balls were in a Boston game when he went in comparatively green.
 There is no question that the two south paws. Hopkins and Streit. have shown up better than any of the pitching staff

A LITTLE DOUBTFUL
FANS COMPARING wHISTLER'S
 AND O'BRIEN'S.
They are Watching Black sox Closely and Some of Them are Nervous. St. Paul Games Will Give Mont
 gomery Line on Them.

Birmingham, April 1.-(SpeciaD-The Birmingham team is fast getting in shape and the fans" who have been attending
 every practice game so far say that the
 improvement Is noticeable. The team has yet to get in shape as to playing togeth- CT and the making of errors will be ob- viated, it is believed by some practice. As has been stated, no criticism is be- ing passed on the team because of re- peated defeat by the big league teams, because 1t could not beSexpected to win from the more expensive and better prac- tied teams, But the work of the in and outfields Is being watched closely and with the exception of at one or two places the fans" say there Is good material here. Frank Smith. the star pitcher on the Birmingham staff, will probably lead the league this year in not only pitching but in batting. He has been in good health all through the winter and says that he is in good shape right now for the season. He pitched yesterday for five innings and the fans" are just tickled to death over his work. He appears to have lost none of his strength since last season and seems to be as foxy" as ever with the little sphere. He anticipates a successful season for himself and expects to win the better part of the games which he pitches. He is confident of holding his own with the best of them.
 The first two exhibition games with Cincinnati this week brought out some good playing on the part of the Birming nam ledIn. w HllS some costly errors were made. it must be admitted that these er- TOTS came about by lack of team work practice. But, this is working off rapidly and after several more games the players will be on their feet and will keep a move on themselves which will startle the peo- pl of the South in times of action Some of the players on the local team have their knockers, but this condition is all ways to be found before and during the regular seasons.
 Reports from Montgomery as to the strength of Lew Whistler's team are be- ing watched closely, the friendly rivalry bringing about much interest as to what the Montgomerians are doing Secretary C. E. Jackson of the Birmingham Asso- citation admits that he Montgomery club is likely to show considerable strength. but he VIII not admit that Whistler Is any better manager than o Brien nor will be given any more authority to place winning team in the field than will be the Birmingham manager.
 Ren Mulford. Jr., the great Cincinnati baseball writer during his staw here stat ed that the Cincinnatti Reds got as much practice, real practice. as anywhere since they have been in the South. He pays a compliment to the Birmingham team and says they need a little more practice to put them in first class condition for a fast minor league. He says that the Bir- mngham team has some very fast little ball players and should show up well in the Southern League. He expects the

 Manager Barrow had intended leaving with the Tigers for Louisville this even- ing, but as today's game is not to be called until o'clock it would hardly give the Detroits time to dress to catch the 6:30 o'clock Louisville and Nashville train. The Tigers are scheduled in Louisville Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and Manager Barrow decided to give his
 
 gomery tomorrow night and reaching Louisville Tuesday morning.
 There will not be game with the locals tomorrow, todays game closing the series, and the Tigers will have a long rest.
 Some big bets were made between De- troit and Cleveland when Bill Armour s Blue Birds passed through Montgomery Monday, and the local fans will watch the opening Detroit Cleveland series with interest.
 Mir. Wellington, the newspaper writer with the Detroit team thinks that the Tigers will have Cleveland and St. Louis to beat in the championship race this summer.
 The prettiest thing of yesterdays game was Molesworth's loung run and pull down of Smiths fly in the fifth inning.
