MONTGOMERY TEAM
 HAS FINE OUTLOOK
WHISTLER IS CERTAIN HIS BASE BALL TossERs WILL FINISH IN FIRST DIVlSIoN-CLAIMs THE STRONGEST PITCHING STAFF.

Montgomery, April 1.-(special)-Man- ager Lew Whistler of the Montgomery baseball team Is now thoroughly satisfied that he has gotten together a first di- vision bunch for the coming season. Whistler says he will have the strongest pitching staff in the Southern league, and 1t does look as if he is correct in the as- sertion. Oscar Streit and Sis Hopkins, southpaws, are in perfect condition, and with Ely, Brennan, Poichow, Raining, stultz and Roach to select from, the box work of the locals may be dreaded by all other teams. streit's performance in the box yesterday when he let the heavy hit- ting Detroits down with only four scratches in nine innings has shown what he can do, and he set the fans wild with enthusiasm. 1t was really the first time that real roofing has been heard on the local diamond. Streit was pitted against the mighty Donovan of Brooklyn fame. and the two pitchers wagered Panama on the result. streit won the hat.
 Whistler has not yet gotten all of his men together. Fatty Chids has not yet shown up and recently Baltimore paper stated that the big second baseman has been signed by the Americans of that city. About week ago Childs wrote Whistler that as soon as he got things strengthened out at Johnstown he would be on hand. Whistler says he has bought Childs' release, and if he does not come here he will not be permitted to play anywhere.
 With Childs covering second and my other men working in the form they showed yesterday I am certainly in the race for the top round of the ladder" Whistler said this morning
 c. G. Wellington, sporting editor of the Detroit Free Press. who is travelling with the Detroits, says that Whistler's team is stronger than either Shreveport or Lit- tie Rock. He has seen all three teams work. "Gilks may have better players than Whistler, but they are not nearly as good, hard workers, and work is what counts in baseball" Wellington said. Neither Shreveport nor Little Rock can begin to equal Montgomery in the box. If Whistler don't tell Htreit and Clark to let up on their work he is in danger of losing his crack battery to Manager Bar row. Clark is one of the prettiest catch CTS that I have yet seen work"

Mir and Mrs. Benjamin Guckenberger' who left Birmingham one year ago to make their home in Springfield, Mass, will move back to this city. MT. Gucken- berger was the director of the music fes- tivals here, and was musician of high ability, while Mrs. Guckenberger is one of the finest vocal artists in the country. Both occupied prominent positions in Springfield from the start, and they were very successful in choir work, con- certifying and teaching.
 But they return to Birmingham with the expectation of making this their per manent home. While all their plans have not been announced, 1t is understood that MT. Guckenberger and Miss Gockel will be associated in the conduct of the Bir- mingham Conservatory of Music, which MT. Guckenberger founded several years ago, but which is now conducted by Miss Gockel.
 As the Guckenberger's were extremely popular socially, as well as professionally, they will be welcomed back, it s said, with open arms
 The conservatory, which is now in the Jesse French music house on Third ave- nue, will be removed this summer to the South Highlands MT. Guekenberger will probably arrive here some time next month but 1t is believed that Mrs. Guck- enberger will not come until late in the summer or early fall.

FLOATING BATTERY INVENTED.
Anson Phelps Stokes, Millionaire, Has
 Made an Interesting Discovery.

New York, April n.-Anson Phelps Stokes. the millionaire and philantrophist has invented a floating battery designed for coast defense. It is spherical in form and resembles in some respects the fa- nous Popoff and Novegorod of the Rus [ sian navy. The battery Is intended to be constructed of steel and to carry two guns of large calibre or one great gun. Smaller guns may be mounted on an upper deck. MT. Stokes does not contem- plate holding the guns rigid. They can be elevated or depressed only by tilting the whole vessel by means of counter boise.
 Unlike the Russian batteries, MT. Stokes makes no provision for self-propulsion, The inventor clans that his battery is economical in construction and mainten- snce. of great power in offensive opera tions, practically impregnable and free from the disadvantages attending pre- vious designs of similar character.

New Orleans, April 11.-In the belief that the maximum of the flood has about reached the lower river, and that with determined efforts there is still chance of success remaining, a conference of the interests affected by the Hymelia crevasse was held here today, and after full can vass of the situation it was decided to re- sume work on Monday, the planters pledging subscription of $10,0O0 to carry forward the undertaking.

 It was learned from the crevasse to- day that both wings of the cribbing are still holding firmly, and that the broken
