BIRMINGHAM AND NEW ORLEANS !
Those Two Teams Said to be in Fight
 for the Pennant.
From the Atlanta Journal.

Frcm the Atlanta Journal
 From present indications 1t now seems Birmingham will represent the east, New Orleans the west, in the athletic carnival TOW thriving in Dixie These two aggre- gallons appear to be the strongest, both or copy paper and the ball field. Some times team on copy paper will appear to be pennant winning material and then flash up in the clear. Then again sonie ether squad will look like subway cham rions on paper and head the league or paddle around somewhere near the top. The only unbeatable combination is the team that looks well in print and delivers the goods weekly from the field. This Is a combination you can't pick.
 Hence, unless there Is a change of huge proportions In other camps the wind up of 1904 will come pretty near finding these two teams running neck and neck at the top
 The Pelican brigade seems to have a shade the stronger material-better hit ters and more agile fielders. The Barons are the best fighters of the two and will put up a scrappier contest today than any team in the league. Hitting and fielding only help win games, but even these two great departments must give way to the team with the nerve and stamina and fighting blood. and that Baron bunch has

nine Irishmen enrolled! Beat nine Irish men as fighters and you are lucky.
 Tn addition Tom Brien has coralled the best pitching staff in the league from present indications. Birmingham has never had a winning team m all her his tory before but there never was a day when they didn't have the best slab corps In the league. Take 1902 when Wilhelm, Smith and Campbell held forth. There never was a better staff than these three in any minor league. Last season Camp bell, Smith and Clarke ranked at the top, and 1904 gives every promise of equaling the past, for Minahan, Streit and Clark have been fiinglng them over in champion ship form.
 At present the Barons have performed the remarkable feat of breaking even with the western teams away from home. In Little Rock, Memphis and New Orleans this tribe of tourists has fought out ten games. winning and losing five. Since set ting sail from Atlanta the Barons have worked in fourteen contests on the road with first division teams, winning seven and losing seven. Next week they blow hack to Birmingham for a twelve-day home stay, and then look out for a scat tering of fur unless some unforeseen d's- cster sets In to mar their prospects
 Charley Frank probably has the best all-around team in the league, but 1t takes an aggregation 30 per cent stronger than the rest to win a pennant In Fell canyills. Tn 1902 Alb Powell had lineup that outclassed Nashville and yet Newt Fisher nosed him out with i've pattles ,o spare, the greatest margin shoWn up 'o date In a southern league race.
 IJnless all dope goes astray, look out Tor r,rminpham and New Orleans leading the league with Shreveport running close third to this pair. These three line-ups now look the best at any rate.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-05-30

From the Atlanta Journal.
 The list of winning twirlers on different league line-ups will show the following slabmen leading in winning battles:
 Atlanta-Smith and Hardy.
 Nashville-Herman.
 Little RoclS--Watt and Guese.
 Birmngham-Min and Streit.
 Memphis-McIntyre.
 hreveport-Swann.
 New Orleans-French and Breitenstein.
 The Nashville slab corps presents the most unique and unexpected front in the league. Wiley Piatt, considered one of the stars of the southpaw slabmeH- of this league Is trailing at the foot of the slab brigade with about eight defeats and three victories On the other hand Herman slated for release by Nashville dope, Is standing at the top of the ladder.
 That Baron selection Is probably the strongest twlrling staff In Dixies major today without a rival. Minahan Streit and Clark are three pearls of purest ray, while much is expected of Alloway when he rounds into shape. The Manhattan collegian has been showing up In fine shape, while Oscar Streit has won three out of his four trials with Tom O'Briens 8 bunch.
 Shreveport has a reliable staff in Swann. Hughey and Bartley with White on the side.
 Guese and Watt have been Mike F'inn's mainstays up to date, but Jack Bolin has been coming to the front lately and if his 1902 showing is in evidence again, the Travellers may become dangerous factors.

 Rulie Campbell, formerly of the Coal Barons. is batting .34b with LoulsVliie, in the American association. His heiding average Is 1000.
 The Atlanta Journal has the followir $ to say of our team: ''The Barons lowered the pride of the naughty Birds In the re- cent series at New Orleans. The Sag town delegation managed to annex two of the three-games series. Cheer up' '. Lee. It might have been three straights'
 If we can break even in the Shreveport series we will have no cause to complain Our record away from home is one to De proud of and the rooters will give the team a royal welcome on their return
 Wilhelm, who once wore Baron uni- form, and who is now with the Boston Nationals, won another game for them Saturday. He is pitching good ball and seems to have made good in the big league.
 Memphis has released pitcher Hale and is trying to get Dowd from New Orleans lOT tut Oubltiu.
 From the Atlanta Constitution
 There is rumor current up north that Chicago intends to turn over her super fiuous players to Philadelphia and that Smith and Dougherty are two of the men slated to assume Philadelphia uniforms.
 It's awfully hard to lose game in which we out hit the other team, but it will happen sometimes. We can't win them all.
 Minahan got his hit again yesterday. It takes good pitcher to keep him from getting one or two. Lynch was there with the stick yester- day. He got a single and a three sacker out of four time up. He is certainly play ing star game. too. Seven chances yes terday without an error.
 The Coal Barons will play two more
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-05-30

Shreveport, May 2s.-(speciai. .)-Minahan lost his own game today with a wild throw over Vaughan's head in the fifth inning, which permitted two men to score. In adition he was unable to lo- cate the plate with any degree of success or consistency. Of the three runs scored by the locals two were registered by men who had been given pass to first ward
 Aside from his wildness Minahan showed class. When he was able to get his curved ball to break over the plate and his slow one down he had the Pirates at his mercy. On the other hand Bartley was steady at every turn, having good control and a good head. He also fielded his position perfectly. The Coal Barons went after him at different times. but he pulled himself out of the pit Added to this he was given superb support In the field. The fielding on both sides was sharp at moments. Jimmy Smith went over second and. made a one hand stop and quickly threw to first of vaus han s sharp hit, and Billie Smith grabbed Nor cum's line drive on the run.
 Blrmlneham's Only Run.
 Shreveport made it's first tally in the second when Weikart. first up, was given his base on balls. He went to second on Schaub's sacrifice, to third on Holly's out and scored on passed ball by Miller ick.
 Birmingham took it's one tally in the fourth Lynch led off with a triple and scored on Smiths long fly to Gilks Ham ley followed with single but was forced at second on OBrien's attempted sacri- flee, and Millerlck ending the inning by poping up to Smith
 Minahan lost his game in the fifth with two down. Gilks was given pass over the Big Four and Bartley singled be- tween second and third. Smith, next up tried to bunt The ball fell half way be- tween the plate and Minahan and was hard chance. The pitcher picked the ball up and in an endeavor to beat out Smith threw it over Vaughan's head. permitting Gilks and Bartley to come home. After that the Pirates were unable to do any thing with Minahan till the eighth, when they made two hits, but were unable to score.
 OBrien lined out a double in the eighth, but Bartley settled down and retired the side.
 In the ninth, with one out, Billie Smith hit safe and Bartley gave his first pass to Hanley. For a moment 1t looked bad for Shreveport, but the next two were easy outs. Alloway pitches tomorrow. Score: outs. Score:

In Sunny Florida.

Never shall 1 forget, writes Julia Daniels Moseley, in the Four-Track News, the magic of q certain garden in the south, in sunny Florida. The stars down there have way of seem ing to hang out of the sky, like . jewel placed high in the setting. The moon was full and the magic of her yellow beauty bewitched everything, enhancing the very shadows. There is an abandon about that spot that takes away the stiffness so often found in large, formal grounds, and, as you walk on and on, there seems to be no end to it, but it is as though all the world was a sumptuous gar den; and when you lift your eyes to the matchless night blues, ii seems as if the very dome of Heay
 en had opened to charm youl
