FOUR PITCHERS
 SIGN CONTRACTS Manager 0'Brien NowHas Eight
 Men to Draw From
HOOTERS GETTING BUSY
MT. McGavock Elected Vice President of Ancient and Independent Order. Smitty, Brown and Campbell
 Will Arrive Friday.

Manager o'Brien went out after pitch CTS with q vim yesterday, and before night four more names had been signed to Birmingham baseball contracts. Part ridge, the famous Utica twirler who caused so much talk in the east last year, will certainly wear a Coal Baron uniform next year and he is expected to pEove one of the stars of the Southern league. Young Harvey Clark, the boy who was given a trial last year on Will helms recommendation but who had to go home on account of sickness will also be given a trial this season. Another youngster bearing the name of Rudy Schwenk has been signed, and if that isn't enough to make hlrH good with the fans there is no such thing as luck. Ed die Fitzpatrick, a coming pitcher who halls from Chicago, will also be given a trial.
 A telegram was received yesterday from Campbell. "Smitty" and Sam Brown say ing they would leave Pittsburg Thursday morning and would reach Birmingham on the next day. A big crowd of fans with tin horns will be at the station to greet Smitty the only.
 Denver says that he will certainly not pitch for Birmingham next season and has written the management letter which he says is final. He says he is willing to pay for his release but if he don't get 1t he will not come to Birming- ham anyway.
 Manager O'Brien and Secretary Jack son propose to stand pat on their propo- stion to make Denver live up to his con- tract and they say he will pitch here or nowhere.
 At meeting of the Rooters' club, held last night, w. R. McGavock was elect ed vice president and general manager of the Ancient and Independent order, and he and Rooter Brown propose to do business on a large scale this summer. They are now engaged in getting the voices of the leading fans in trim for the season and all will be in readiness for the opening day.
 Mir. McGavock as we'll as Rooter Brown have taken every degree known to roofing at a baseball game and are past masters when it comes to giving the home bunch" a boost.
 Meetings of the Rooters' club will be held regularly every three hours at the baseball headquarters on Second avenue from now until the season opens. The meetings will then be held every hour.

 Coke.
 The production of coke increased ll3- S55 tons during the year, or 3Sla per cent, and the quality has been improved. When the 200 bee hive ovens now being built at Flat Top are completed, we should have an ample supply of coke for the seven furnaces 1t is suggested. however, that some of the present batteries of ovens be enlarged by the addition of 100 ovens to make us entirely safe at all times and especially as there is a steady demand for coke at renumerative prices. For the three months since the close of the fiscal year, the production of coke has shown a still further increase which. if maintained through the year. will show an increase of 57 per cent over the fiscal year 1901.
 Iron Ore Mines.
 We have continued the development in both No. 1 and No. slopes of the Sloss mines (hard ore), during the year, and now have sufficient territory devel- oped for an output of 1450 tons per day, which will be gradually increased by some improvement in air and steam equipment. Some small operations OH soft red ores are being carried on, on the companys property, under contracts, the ore being furnished to us
 RussellviIIe Brown Ore Mnee.
 We have now In operation at these mines four ore washers, twelve dinkey locomotives. seven steam shovels and sufficient number of side dump cars for handling material to the washers Four dinkey locomotives and sixteen side dump cars were added to the equipment during the year. There are three pumping sta tions for supplying water, with nine steam boilers and eight pumps One of these pumping stations was built during the year for summer use and put in operation on August 9, 1902; also a new dam, adding fifteen acres to the reservoir at central pumping station. The washers were in operation during the year, 269 days -unfavorable weather being the cause of all extended delays, and wash ed 29S FOO tons of ore.
