Besides being weak at the bat the Bir- mingham team is badly crippled and the Iron Men are in a pitiful plight at Mem- phis. Mlllar, Campbell and Keenan have been injured on the trip and Smith and Partridge are suffering from ah attack of fever. Millar will be sent home at enee and Frank Smith, notwithstanding his illness will play left field untll req Inducements arrive.
 O'Brien is hard at work for new ma- terial, and has already signed two new men. One of them is Bud Lally, an old- time player and the other is Frank Can- hon of Hazleton, Pa. who was highly recommended by Connie Mack of Chi eago. They are both inhelders, and will report as early as possible. Lally Will probably join the team today at Mem- phis and Cannon will meet them on their return to Birmingham. As soon as tallY arrives Manager OBrien will put the team in charge of Harry Vaughan. and will Immediately leave for the north and east looking for players.

 The visitors runs were scored by F. Smith who got hit in the eighth. fol- lowed by singles from Leighton and Ma guire. and two wild pitches from Ehret.

If Tom O Brien has been blamed for the poor showing made by the team on this trip it is entirely his own fault. No one planes him for not winning with a broken up and sick team but had he taken the trouble to notify the people at home of the condition of the team some very bit ter words would have been left unsaid. The public here can not know of the con- dition of his team if he does not take the trouble to notify them.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The determination of Manager OBrien to start north after players meets with unqualified approval of the fans. It is not expected that he shall institute wild goose chase through the north hunting players He is too clever manager for that but it Is sincerely hoped that he has his eyes on two or three good men who will be there with the stick.

Memphis June 9-Local fanatics be- levc that could Birmingham's team play here for the remainder of the summer the FranSfurters might break the worlds records for number of games won. They base this opinion on the exhibitions yes terday and today Blunders of commis- sion that appear In the score do not com pare with unpardonable breaks in the thinking branch of the game made by O'Brien and Leighton, which, with errors of Vaughan and Lawler precluded possi- binty of the goddess of chance aiding the Iron Men in their effort to stem the vic torious tide of the league leaders.
 The Jackson-O Brien cohorts smiled at the sight of Red Ehret on the slab for second trial after the pumping admin lstered yesterday. but smiles changed to frowns as the game progressed.
 o'Brlen Bunts Badly.
 O'Brien prevented a possible score in the first by bunting straight to Ehret. allow ing Ehret plenty of time to catch Duffy. who had hit safe. at second. o'Brien com pleted the inning by getting thrown out at third by d wide margin. attempting to go from first to third on Vaughan's out at first.
 Leighton lost the next chance to score in the third, when occuping first, no one out, he tore around the bases, allowing c. Miller to return Campbell's fly to Wer- den, completing a double play. Millerick was partly responsible for this as he urged Lighton to keep on,
 more tallies are not credited to the vis- itors. The locals were thankful to Brien for a run in the first inning With one out Campbell based Glenn. A. Miller followed with the second out to Duffy but Glenn stole second. C. Miller singled bringing Glenn in and Werden singled sending Miller to third by the grace of O Briens tumble of Dufy's throw which beat Miller. OBrien failed to recover in time to prevent Miller from reaching the plate.
