NEW THIRD EASTMAN
 IN THE GAME TODAY
THos. M'ANDREWs ARRIVES HERE FROM KANSAS CITY AND WILL FINISH OUT THE SEASON WITH BIRMINGHAM.

Thomas McAndrews, recently of the American association, has signed with Birmingham and will finish out the sea- son with Birmingham, or until Jimmy oBrien has sufficiently recovered to go back in the game.
 McAndrews arrived from Kansas city last night and will go in the game this afternoon. He was one of the best third basemen in the American association, but says he had slight slump in hit ting and decided to come to Birmingham to see If his luck wouldn't change. Last year he hit around the 300 mark and is considered one of the most valuable men in the business. Dale Geer of Kansas City let Manager o'Brien have him as a return for the courtesy shown by Bir- mlngham in sending Hill back to Kan sas City. McAndrews will make a valu- able addition to the Birmingham team. As soon as negotiations were begun for him the Mathison deal was dropped. This explains why Mathison did not show up here as was expected.

 Seco:,d Game. In the second game the excitement came in great big gobs and it was any body's victory until the seventh, when Kennedy lit the match and the whole works exploded.
 Neither side was able to get busy earlier than the sixth, and up to that time Cra- bell and Weyhing were waging a fierce battle. It was nip and tuck with neither side gaining a point This was too good to last, however, and many heart was made both sad and happy in the sixth.
 After one man was out Crozier walked and went to third on Bridwel's hit to left. Winters was presented with walk and on an attempt to throw him out at second Bridwell scored. That wound up things for Atlanta.
 In Birmingham's half Duffy opened up with a single, but Millerck and Vaughan died by slow stages. Kennedy came up at this critical juncture and lambasted one over first for two bags and Duffy scored. Lawler followed with a long drive to left center and Kennedy sprinted home with the run that tied the score. The grandstand was wild with excitement about this time and hats, canes and score cards were flying in the air Kennedy and Lawler had saved the game and to the fans they were mighty.
 In the next inning Duffy again opened it up by taking four balls and walking to nrst. Milerick connected for a single to left and Vaughan rapped one at the pitcher. Weyhng fumbled the ball and the bases were full. The crowd began to call for Kennedy and the youngster came up with a smile. Picking out nice one he whacked 1t over second for nice clean single and Duffy and Millerick scored.
 Frank Smith will pitch today's game for Birmingham and Frank Wilson will probably work for Atlanta. There will be no double header today and the game will be called at 4 o'clock

From the Atlanta Journal.
 Birmingham and Montgomery indulged in the most sensational double header of the season yesterday. Both battles were fought beneath the shadow of the slag, and in eighteen innings of swiftly fleeting play the Black Sox failed to tally. The Barons played errorless ball through out the struggle, and Smith and Camp bell were on the firing line. Small won der. When affairs do manage, to break right at Birmingham fanatics that throng the corral of the ball yard have had the diamond sensations of the season. The Fourth of July struggle is still fresh in the memory of southern tandem, when
 in twenty innings of play with Nashville but one run was recorded. Keenan and young Clarke were the gladiators who stood upon the burning deck in this en- gagement, and yesterday the deadly rivals from southern Alabama went down in the same manner for eighteen innings.
 Morse came in one lone bingle of tieing Duffv's Southern league record of thir- teen hits in four consecutive games. The ex-Cotton Slater secured eleven, count, ing in the first game of the double-header as his fourth straight battle. but one be- hind the hard-hitting Duffy. At that Morse was up one time less and reached first base once oftener than the feet-footed Baron Morse will do if in dications count for aught-
 The Montgomery Advertiser hands Gu Did Childs this hot one:
 "One of two constructions is bound to be put on the Chlds case. He either can not play ball or will not play. In either event he is not a fit man for the place, and the local fans have realized this for long time. If he cant play or won t play, why, put somebody on the second bag that's all, and if the local manage ] ment wants the patronage of an already 1 tired public they will heed this tip" 1 That catch of Handlers in the second l game yesterday was one of the finest l pieces of felding ever seen in these parts. | It came near equalling the famous stat l by Duffy on ths day before.

The First Game.

In the first game Atlanta opened the can right at the jump and before the mighty Clarke had hit terra firma Crozier was in home with that which counts. Crozier, who was first up, got safe on Vaughans error, and was advanced to second on Bridwells sacrifice. Winters was then given a free walk via the big four and Stafford got rap on the arm, filling the bases. A long fly by Bennett sent Crozier home but a fast double end ed the career of his followers.
 Atlanta scored again in the third on rapid fire of singles touched off by Brid- well. Winters sent the little shortstop to second on a rap to center and Stafford's long drive to left landed him on the rub Der.
 A succession of hits by Stafford, Morse and Matthews in the sixth gave Powell two more runs and practically decided things for some time to come.
 Birmingham scored her first run in the eighth and it looked for a moment as if something sensational was about to come off. After two men were out Harry Vaughan cut out a clean drive to right center and Kennedy came up with his bludgeon. After fouling off a few, to get his hand in, the youngster nailed one on the nose for two bags and Vaughan came home in a canter.

 Ed Lauzon is the happest man who ever hit a ball or stole base. Bad deci- sions by the umpire and jeers from the crowd cannot ruffe Eds sunny temper. He always has the glad hand for every body and is a great favorite with the Birmingham fans.
 Catcher Matthews of Atlanta is also a great favorite in Birmingham. Matty makes a hit with the bleachers and so far nothing sour has crept out in his na- ture He is undoubtedly the greatest coacher in the league and his witty re- joinders to remarks from the rooters al- ways brings a laugh.

crabeII Pitched Great Ball.

Parson Crabell had the Georgians un- der his thumb at all stages of the fight, and when the vote was counted the of ficial returns showed four measly hits to the credit of the Crackers. Crabell has won himself home in the hearts or the Slagpile fans. He has speed, plenty of curves, almost perfect control, and there's nothing down in Father Chad wicks dope that will keep that from winning.
 Young Kennedy proved the bright par ticular star of the occasion. and at 5 o'clock last evening he could have polled 22OO votes for mayor of Birmingham, gov- ernor of Alabama or any old job that he had in sight. He saved Birmingham from shut-out in the first game and loosened up enough of Weyhing's slants in the second to send the winning runs scampering in home. Out of seven times at the bat he ripped off five clean hits, two of which were double sackers. He seems to be able to hit anything that comes over, and when he puts the wood to them the fire goes out. In other words, he Is hitting some.

 At the same time the introduction or Dougherty, the late find from the Cotton States league, kept the Barons supplied with all kinds of puzzles, and the west End guardians had a hair-breadth escape from lime and water. Bobby Kennedy, late of the brush, however, butted in with his big whacking willow and laced out a sizzling two-bagger which sent Vaughan home with the only run of the game for Birmingham.
