the clubs that composed the league
last season. Natchez suffered most by
losing players, over half of the champ

advance in their profession, however,

their own in almost any company.

him at his old place again next year.
Harlow, our popular and hard-working
catcher, and Pease, the Baton Rouge
shortstop, are here also. Pease has
signed with Louisville and will, with
out the least doubt, make good, as he
is q fine batsman and base runner
and clever fielder. Every club in
this league is in good financial condi
ton, and improvements or grounds
and stands are progressing in each

none in the south when finished. The
players, on reporting, will be pleasant

which on paper, looks far superior to
last seasons tribe The men signed
to tlate include some of the best minor
league talent in the country. They
are all men of recognized ability in
baseball, and the new players come
with the best of recommendations.
There was some uneasiness felt at
Manager Haupt's delay in making
known his selections for the coming
season, and some of the fans doubted
his ability to secure winning aggre-
cations. But AL has Showed 'em" and
the fans are all with him now and will
stay with him till the finish. And when
