 Manager O'Brien has had a surprise in store for the Birmingham fans for a fortnight or more. and yesterday it was uneorked in all it's sprlng-like beauty. From an early morning train two pas sengers alighted bearing the euphonious appellations of Farmer Harry Vaughan and "Moike" Mitchell. They immediately made their way unnoticed to the baseball headquarters and the boys in the Baron Blue fell on their necks and wept. In exactly seven minutes Thomas O'Brien was the happiest man in Birmingham and shortly after lunch the two big fellows were hurried into uniforms and escorted to West End where their work on first and in field warmed up the chilly air.
 Harry Vaughan Is possibly one of the best known ball players in the country, having played on several of the Ma tional league teams and finished last year with Milwaukee where he made quite a record. Vaughan has been In the base ball business since away back in the eighties and has always had a record as a hitter. He began catching for Louis vile before catchers' mits were invented and an old photograph of him with the old fingered gloves behind the bat is an interesting study. Vaughan played on the Cincinnati National league club three years ago and then took charge of the Peoria team. After that he was bought by Milwaukee and finished out last sea son for them on first base.
 Heiney Peitz Helped.
 oBrien has been trying to get Vaughan for some time and finally succeeded through the friendship of Heney Peltz of Cincinnati. Vaughan probably will be the highest paid inielder in the Southern league.
 Mike Mitchell was purchased from Schenectady and is considered one of the fastest minor league fielders in the bus- ness If his work yesterday is anything of sample he will do. OBrlen says Mitchell has nt a superior in the South ern league. While he is younger man than Vaughan. Mitchell has had consid- erable experience and last season batted up near the 300 mark.
 With these two men to strengthen the team the fans feel confident of a first division club and will go to Montgomery to take big fall out of the Legislators. On Sunday week a one-fare rate will be given by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and large number of 4rooters are making arrangements to see the game. It Is understood the Montgomerians are betting strong on their team and are willing to suffer anything but defeat at the hands of Birmingham
 Tomorrow afternoon the Coal Barons have practice game with the amateur club from Pratt City and some good sport Is expected, though the records would indicate that Birmingham will win. Pratt City is probably the strongest az gregation of amateur talent that will face the Barons and 1t will give OBrien's men just enough taste to be in fine fettle for the opening contest with Nashville Mon day afternoon
