All -% ' teams composing membership are . . stronger than they have been in the S- . past, and the race for the pennant % . Is going to be a very lively one. It -& ' is difficult at this time to make any ~- ' forecast as to the possible winner, Y . but one thing is assured, and that ' z IS that baseball fans of the south ' ' are going to see a better article of ball e , than they have had the pleasure of % . witnessing in the past. l look for ' ' an exceedingly close finish. We have N -> what IS conceded to be the best staff -e- ' or umpires we have ever had in the %- ' south They will receive the proper -~ . backing from the president of the % . association, and it is hoped that the ~- ' games will be free from the wrang- ~- ' ling which has characterized them ' ' before. There are no sore spots Y ' evident anywhere, but there seems -&- % 10 be simply a spirit of generous -% ' rivalry prevailing the whole base -~ ' ball atmosphere the evident desire -& . being that the best club shall win. -~-

COAL BARONS IN
 GOOD CONDITION
Are There With the Goods and
 Have No Excuses
PLAY PRATT CITY TODAY
Mitchell and Vaughan Both Worked Out Yesterday and Showed Up Well-Newt Fisher Has a Hard
 Proposition on His Hands.

Two more days of anxiety and the flag will drop for the beginning of the base ball season in the Southern league. As usual all the teams are claiming the pen nant and many have already sent for samples of championship flags
 The Birmingham public is pleased with the O'Brien aggregation and expect the Coal Barons to finish in the first division, and from present indications they are not far wrong. The team was out at work yesterday, and got In some good practice. The pitchers warmed up and showed themselves all in excellent form. Jack Keenan has not entirely recovered from the blow on his arm in one of the prac- tice games when he was hit by pitched ball. but he will be in condition to play by tho latter part of next week. All the other twirlers are in fine shape and could go in now and pitch nine innings.
 The other men are in just as good con- dition, and the Barons will have no han dicap at the start. If Newt Fisher beats them it will be simply because his club outplays them. Birmingham feels fully competent to deliver the goods and has no excuses to make.
 Had Pictures Taken.
 
 tographer, went to the park yesterday and lined the boys up for a nice, pretty picture. They all seemed to like 1t im- mensely, and several letters were sent to far away sweethearts, telling them that photographs would be along in a few days. Sundays Age-Herald will print the first photograph of the team conn plete.
 The association has adopted a unique scLeme for letting the public know when games are to be played. A big banner will be stretched from the Morris hotel to the old Brien opera house, and when this is hanging out a game Is certain. The main advantage of this banner is on rainy or cloudy days. By this banner the public will be able to know whether a contest despite the weather, will be pulled off without going to the park
 Beginning with next Fridays game in Montgomery the various games will be received in detail at O'Brens opera house by telegraph. A few enthusiasts have gotten up an arrangement by which they hope to at least pay the expenses of the report. An admission of b cents will be charged for men folks but ladies will be admitted free. If the attendance is enough to defray the expenses the scheme will be worked all summer,
 Game This Afternoon.
 The Coal Barons play the Pratt City team this afternoon, and this will be the last practice game. Pratt City has strong amateur team and expects to give the professionals a warm nght. Three of of the Birmingham pitchers will be tried out, and both Vaughan and Mitchell. the new men, will be in the game. It will be called at 3:30 o'clock.

 NEW ORLEANS TODAY
PEllCANS WILL HAVE A GREAT BLOWOUT AT THE START AND GIVE MIKE FlNN's TRAVELLERS A GREAT TIME.

New Orleans. April 2l- Special )-The ceremonies connected with the opening of the ball season here tomorrow will be more elaborate than last season when Memphis played the first game of the year with the Pelieans.

If not, Campau will be in the stand and the game will be managed by Captain Jack Law, the new first baseman
 c. Smith, who pitched two games for Cleveland last season and won both will be in the box and he is pitching ball that should put him up in the big league easy. French will pitch the Sunday game.
 Finn Putting on Dog"
 Manager Finn and his Little Rock band will arrive in the morning from Baton Rouge and will be met by a committee and escorted to their hotel Finn has engaged quarters at the St. Charles. the most costly hotel in the south, just to make his gathering feel good on the open ing day.
