FIRST REAL SNOW.
Property Owners Were Busy With The Shovels To.Day.

The slight snow squall of yesterday furnished employment for owners of property abutting on sidewalks, and such persons will spare themselves a good deal of labor and probably some expense by attending to 1t as soon as possible. While it is nothing which they should be obliged to do, still the law says they shall and there is no use running counter with it. Some body has been quoted as stating that the law has been changed and that lln- der the new order of things the city is obliged to clean the walks. This is not so. The only change made in that law was with reference to repairs. Under the existing law property owners con- struct and clean walks just the same as in the past. but when they need re- pairs the city attends to them. There is nothing complicated in the law, but it is surprising how many bright peo, pie claim they do not understand it, The law is all right and those who claim they cannot see through it are only shammtng. Isn't it enough for people to build the walks and keep them clean without being put to the expense of repairing them?

BOXING CONTEST
 WEDNESDAY NIGHT
JACK BoLAN AND OSCAR CHER WILL GO FOR A FEW ROUNDS AT " BOUT.

On the night of Thursday, March 1T. another boxing contest will be given be- fore the pupils of the Birmingham box ing school at Eagles hall between Jack 'Bolan, who recently defeated Coney Cum ningham and Oscar Gler, a well known boxer. Both of these men are fast on their feet and know when a blow counts.
 Unless Gier Is able to successfully handle Bolan the last named will be the bell COW of this district. Roland comes from Cincinnati and is considered one of the best fighters in the business of light weight His work in the contest with Cunningham was remarkable, and his friends predict that he will defeat Gier with just as much ease. On the other hand Giers friends are laying great store on his cleverness and expect him to win.
 There will be no admission fee charged and no one but pupils of the school will be allowed Professor Kendall, however, will give one weeks instruction for $l and any pupil holding one of these cards will be entitled to see the contest. For the convenience of persons desiring cards Qn the night of the fight Professor Kendall will have several of them at the door which will be issued on the payment of s1 and this will entitle the holder to witness the contest.
 It is expected that this will be the fast est boxing contest seen in Birmingham this winter and the followers of the two men are working hard to get their men in condition.

in reporting as both of them are engaged in coaching college teams.
 ". S. Alexander, crack infielder from the Texas league. was signed yesterday and will report in Birmingham as soon as the train can bring him. This man is said to be the best in the west, and Blackburn says he is one of the greatest inhelders he ever saw besides being heavy hitter. The correspondence was carried on4 by wire and a final message was received late yesterday afternoon from Alexander accepting terms.
 Manager o'Brien practically has all of his men signed now and will be able to select q strong team from the bunch. The trimming down process will begin early in April. and it is likely that when the reg ular season opens the Birmingham team will be in shape to start out without need ing any additional timber.
 FICnIv OI FllCnCTS.
 For several weeks it looked as if Bir- mlngham would be a little shy on pitch CTS, but there are less fears on this score now than any other. Dorn and Black burn have both shown themselves to have the goods, and Wagner is said to be a certainty Clarke Sitton, McGill and the other twlrlers will have to look to their laurels to get off with the jobs at slag- town. Triton will also be with the team again this year, and is expected to make a fine showing.
 Henry Lynch, whose picture appears in this issue is one of the best known ball players in the country, and though appa- rently young man, Is now entering his twentieth year of baseball, He and La Rocque played on the same team in 1888. He Is not only very fast fielder and base runner, but always hits above the 300 mark. Last year he got off with a record of S12. Lynch says he wants no more of the coast, and would rather chop wood than go back to California. He played in the Pacific Coast league last season and was the star fielder of the league,
 On account of the request of the base ball management that the public does not witness the practice few persons were out to see the boys work yesterday The few who were present, however were greatly pleased and express the ut- most confidence in success this season.

The boat was nearly two days overdue, and the greatest anxiety prevailed for its safety. the vessel being greeted by a chorus eff Whistles and cheers all the way up the Savannah river.

 NIGHT ANXIOUS FOR WORK
Duffy, Millerick, Tamsett, Mceill and Other Players Are Expected Either Today or omorrow-Line-
 Up of the Teams.

The New York National league base ball team numbering twenty-six men will arrive in Slagtown today at noon from Savannah, and will begin practicing on the West End grounds tomorrow after noon. On Wednesday the first practice game with the Coal Barons will be played and the Ancient and Independent Order of Rooters will once more get busy.
 So far only eight of the Birmingham players have arrived, but several of the boys are expected today. ana they will at tempt to shake their winter kinks at Mount Slag tomorrow. Duffy, Tamsett, Milleriek, Clarke and McGill are looked for some time today, and Jimmy OBrien will probably arrive tomorrow. Jimmy's mother has been seriously i'll for several days past, and he was unable to be here on the 10th of the month as ordered. Moth ing has been heard from the other men, and 1t Is supposed that they are some- where en route.
 Harry Vaughan will be the last of the players to arrive, his time having been extended to March 19. He is getting the Auburn team in fine shape, and does no. wish to leave until he has them ready for the season. He will therefore be unable to take part in the first two games with New York. He writes that he is working hard. and will be in fine shape by the time he reports for duty.
 Working of Soreness.
 The men who are here were out prac- ticing yesterday afternoon, and several of them succeeded in working off their soreness occasioned by the work on the day before. Mcconnell did some nice work at second, as did Lynch, Billy Smith and the pitchers in the outfield. Blackburn and Wheeler are both m good condition now, and one of them will probably pitch the first game against the big leaguers. Sitton and Hopkins may be little late
