With a few more weeks left in which to fight it out for a place in the first division the Coal Barons open up series of games against the much troubled Montgomerians today There wip-3e two games on account of Labor Day one in the morning and the other i1 the after noon.
 10 o'clock and Dunhani will more than likely do the pstehihg for Birmingham. MontgomerY'as twirling entries are not known Tn the afternoon game which besiifs at the usual hour Streit will prob ably pitch for Birmingham.
 This morning the Barons stand at .5OO per cent having won just as many games as they have lost. Vaughan has made valiant fight during the closing days of the season and if he makes his team finish in the first division he will do more than any other manager has ever done for Birmingham. With heavy odds against him he has pulled the team up to first division and with an even break Of luck he ought to stay there or go higher.
 The Barons just now are crippled lot but will do the best that can be done un- der the circumstances. Jimmy Tamsett is on the sick list and out of the game It is hoped that he will be well enough to play in one of the games today. Pig gie Ward is suffering from a severe wrench in his side and may be out of the game today. He was feeling badly Satur- day night and had to consult a doctor Joe Henessey Is suffering from acute ln- digestion but is pluclSily sticking to his post
 With al. these troubles the Barons still have plenty of ginger and they will at tempt ot heat off the tailenders and a majority or games would put them in a very comfortable position.
 The second largest crowd of the sea son is expected today as there will De vis itors from every part of the state to at tend the Labor Day exercises. It is be- lieved the visitors will have plenty of time to reach the park after the parade for the first game.
