Muggsy McGraw's New York Giants will shake the winter silence from West End park this afternoon and for the first time the Birmingham fans will see the new Coal Barons in action. The game win be called at o'clock, as players fear ex- posture to the twilight chill of early spring.
 While Manager O'Brien gives out no predictions, the teams work yesterday afternoon shows that he intends to give the visitors all he has in the shop, and if New York wins her first practice game 1t will not be on account of walk over 'Tis true, Birmingham is slightly crippled by the absence of Ed Lawler, E rank Smith and Outfelder Mlar, but with Joe Leighton at second and Fitz- patrick in left field the gap to a certain extent will be filled.

While everybody here is anxious to see Montgomery win and are pleased over their victory of yesterday. the strength of the Capital City club has them all guessing.

RIVER WILL RISE AT NEW ORLEANS Phenomenal Speed Has Kept
 Down the Swell OYSTER BEDS ARE DAMAGED Weather Observers Say If the Levees Hold the Period of High Water
 Will Probably Last for
 Three Weeks.
OYSTER BEDS ARE DAMAGED

New Orleans March 26.-With the river practically stationary during the day there has been little change in the flood conditions. The early morning reading of the gauge was 20.2 a rise of I in the past twenty-four hours. From morning to night the height fiuctuated, reaching 20.3 as a maximum The phenomenal speed at which the current Is flowing and favorable winds have doubtless restrained the upward tendency Rises are reported from Red river down. but with the pres ent spell of dry and sunshlny weather confidence increases in the ability of the entertainments on both sides to sustain the strain upon them.
 A vigilant eye Is being kept on every foot of levee on both sides of the river.
 The local weather bureau today again advises preparation for a 2l-foot stage at this point if the entertainments hold. It promises that the Red, Atchafalaya and Ouachta will continue to rise. As, how ever the flow of the Red and Mississippi continue into the Atchafaaya, carrying off great volume of water from the main stream and relieving the lower reaches of the river. the expectation Is that the prediction of the bureau will not be exceeded.

Damage to Oyster Industry.

Considerable damage will be done to the oyster industry by the present flood. Far down the coast where the levees are small because there Is little cultivabe land, the river is running over and filling up valua- ble beds of bivalves. River water as rule destroys the oyster.
 Thus far the cotton sections of the state have escaped overflow. The richest fields are those protected by the Fifth district levee system in north Louisiana. President McCleland of the board, con tinues to express confidence that this stretch of levee work will hold.
 Weather Observer Cline said today that If the levees hold, the period of high wa ter in this vicinity would probably last three weeks. That estimate is based on the length of time that the crest of the flood will consume in reaching here from Helena. The flood speed, however is varable and three weeks is considered the extreme limit of suspense if the levees hold.

Ample Provisions.

Ample provision has been made here to care for the highest water now promised. Trouble at St. Ann street where water was leaking through the levee, has been entirely arrested today.
 Thus far there has been no interrup- tion to steamboat or ocean-going traffic. The water is over many of the wharves, but emergency walks have been laid and freight Is handled with but slight incon- venience.
 Members of the state board of en- gineers are at various points along the Mississippi, the Red and the Lafourche. On the latter stream there are now three crevasses, but planters not immediately within range of the breaks have had time in which to construct temporary embank- ments to protect their places. Recently District Judge Leche handed down a de- cision restraining the levee boards from damming the Lafourche, preparatory to putting in locks, which, it Is contended, would for all time render the sections drained by the Lafourche probably the richest in Louisiana free from over flows. It is stated that the damage re- sulting from the present crevasses will cause a revulsion in sentiment favorable to the locking of that stream
