small army of workmen have been
busy for more than a week, under the
personal supervision of Mr.. Bailey, fixing
up the Madison Square Garden for the
Barnum & Bailey circus, which is to open
there next Wednesday.
Tody Hamilton said yesterday that the
worst part of the job was 'de-odorizing"
the basement In order to make it fit for
the mena gerie.
That place. he said, contains about
81 distinct smells, to which each one of
the shows-dog, horse. sportsmans and
automobile-has contributed. You can feel

WHISTLER SAYS BIG THINGS

Montgomery March 23.-tspecial) 1.-The
baseball season will open in Montgomery
next Thursday, when Lew Whistler will
send his team up against the Chicago
American league team. The fans here are
anxious to get a line on Whistlers finds,
but this first game will hardly give them
the desired opportunity. To date Lew is
having hard time to get his bunch to-
gether. Only five of them have arrived
so far, but 1t is expected that the -
naming members will all show up by
tomorrow. This will give them very little
time for practice before taekling Gala
hans big team. and as a matter o. course
they will not be in condition.
But Whistler says he signed n swift
aggregation. You may Just say to the
Birmingham fans that I've got i lunch
of fellows signed that will put Tomlnie

CHATTANOOGA AND
BIRMINGHAM FRIDAY
THE LAST BASKETBALL GAME OF
THE SEASoN-EDDIE BURGER
TO PRESENT SPEClALTY-SoME
GOSSIP.

The last basketball game of the season
will be played at the Athletic club next
Friday night between Birmingham and
Chattanooga. The Birmingham team will
have the advantage of playing on its
home court. just as Chattanooga had
when Birmingham played there two
weeks ago. The basketball enthusiasts
consider the two teams very evenly
matched and are looking for a royal
game.
Between the halves of the game next
Friday one of the most distinct novelties
ever seen in this city will be introduced
by Eddie Burger. As a balancer and all
round acrobat. Burger has national rep
utation, and his Birmingham friends pre-
diet that he will make big hit with his
act, both here and throughout the coun-
try when he goes on the road.
All of the Athletic club teams this year
are having bad luck as against the COL
leges. Birmingham lost to Howard last
Friday and on the same night Wander
bilt defeated Chattanooga on the latters
home court 10 to H. The Chattanooga
papers say their team outplayed the Wis
itors at every point of the game except
getting the ball in the basket in other
words, that the Mountain City boys
played in hard luck.
