PITCHER DEAVER HAS
 JOINED THE BARONS
Was Out Practcing With the Team Yesterday Afternoon and Did Some
 Fine Work in the Field.

Pitcher Denver, who for long time had some hesitancy about coming to Birming- ham, is now in the city and hard at work with the rest of the team. He is looking better than at any time during last sea- son, and says he will be in fine shape with few days work. He was out at the park yesterday and his playing in the field was of the phenomenal order.
 Very few of the players knew that Denver was anything of fielder, but the way he pulled down those long flies after hard sprints made the whole gang open their eyes.
 While Denver had another offer that kept him from hurrying to Birmingham he Is now perfectly satisfied to play with the Coal Barons, and says he will cer- tainly give them the best he has in the shop. He knows O'Brien and says there is no one who is better liked than the Bir- mingham manager.
 The arrival of Denver gives Birmingham a total of eight pitchers and the manage ment Is at a loss to know where to be- gin the wedding. Nearly all of them are good, and this makes O Briens task doubly hard. It is probable that he will carry the entire bunch until after the first two or three regular games.
 The men were out yesterday afternoon despite the chilly weather. and all worked until the necessary sweat was brought about. Frank Smith had thou- sand kids" (more or less) chasing his hits to the outheld. and the big pitcher says he is destined to be one of the best hitters in the league If he leads the Southern league batters several presents will be awaiting him.
 The Barons will go through a day of hard work today, and tomorrow they will see about the Athletic club amateurs. The Athletics have a strong battery and the game promises to be interesting.

 ment Was Very Bad.

Memphis, April 1.-The Tennessee Brewing stakes attracted a field of nine to the barrier today and proved to be the best event on the card. Old Hutch and Foxy Kane were held as favorites at threes while good odds could be had against the others The two favorites were never prominent. Henry Bert sue ceeded in passing the wire by neck from Pericles. w. J Deboe, who was the medium of a strong plunge at the close, was left at the post, and Joe Martin got such a poor start, that whatever chances he may have had, were entirely spoiled.
 Claremont was favorte for the first race at four and a half furlongs, but second was the best he could do Sehorr's Ex- central winning handily by half length. In the second event, selling affair at one mile, Banana Cream, at long odds, gal loped in winner by three lengths from Memphis. Schorr's Mordella, a high class Ally by Russell, was made a pro- hibitive favorite in the third race at four and half furlongs; Beneficient beat her a nose on the post, due to Bull mans bad judgment in not making his run at the proper time. He did not be- gin to ride the Ally until fifty yards from the wire, when she shot rapidly forward and would have won in another jump.
 The fifth race, a steeplechase over the short course, furnished one of the most exciting finishes of the meeting. Lord Radnor led the field over the jumps and entering the stretch by three lengths ap- pearede to be winning handily, when Saul Der, who was well backed. came with terrific burst of speed and won by a head at the end.
 The sixth race at a mile and a half furnished a prohbitive favorite In Cogs- well. It took Henrys best effort to land him winner by neck from Ruby Ray. Weather cool track fast.

warmest games of the season will be pulled off at West End park. The picked nine from the Birmingham Athletic club will meet the Coal Barons, and hot contest is sure to be the result. Wheeler the Auburn-haired boy who made such a good showing against Cincinnati, will twirl for the Athletic club and Ward will do the receiving. Deaver will pitch for the Barons and Brown will do the catch ing. In all probability the mighty shit ty" will assit Denver, provided the Ath- letics make things too warm for him. The gate receipts will be divided between the two teams and a large crowd will doubtless be on hand to cheer their fla yorites. The candidates for the Athletics team will meet at the club this afternoon at O clock
