COAL BARONS FACE THE GIANTS AGAIN Fourth Game of Series to be
 Played Today MEN GETTING IN SHAPE Game This Afternoon Will Be Called
 
MEN GETTING IN SHAPE
Game This Afternoon Will Be Called Promptly at 3 Oclock-Dorn, Clark and Wagner Will Pitch
 for Birmingham.

The fourth game with the New York National League club will be played at West End this afternoon and the Coal Barons expect to give the big leaguers a hard Job getting off with another victory. All of the men are rapidly getting In shape and by taking a lI.tle more chances on the bases the experts say that New York has little advantage, as the South ern leaguers outhit them almost two to one in the Vulcan benefit contest on We'd nesday.
 Clark, Dorn and Wagner will probably pitch for Birmingham and Matthews and Dummy Taylor will likely work out for New York The rest of the line up will be practically the same as during previous games except that Lynch will be on third.
 Manager OBrien had his men at work on hitting yesterday and several of them showed wonderful familiarity with the willow. Unless something serious comes off this afternoon the coal Barons will be able to tear off numerous bingles and if our pitchers can hold the big leaguers down to anything reasonable in the clouting line there ought to be some ex- citement.
 1t has not been decided definitely but 1t Is likely that the last game with New York. will be played Monday, as the Giants leave for Little Rock on Tuesday From there they go to Nashville and thence to Montgomery. From Pickett Springs they go direct to New York where they will take a little rest before opening the season in Brooklyn on April IA
 McGraw seems to be greatly pleased with the New York team and apparently feels confident of beating out Pittsburg for the pennant. He thinks he has a great squad of pitchers well as a team that can hit the ball at most any stage He is devotng great time to team work and when this Is thoroughly drilled into the club there ought to be something doing.
 The Boston National League club comes after New York and will be here on April 3, and 5. These games will be interest ing as it will give the local rooters al op- portunity to size up two of the big league clubs.
 The game this afternoon will be called promptly at o'clock.

NEW YORK DEFEATS
 THE ATHLETIC CLUB
FIRST GAME OF INDOOR BASE BALL DRAWS LARGE CROWD, AND CONTEST IS INTERESTING. VISITORS oUTPolNT LOCALS.

The New York indoor baseball team defeated the Athletic club team last night by score of 27 to 13. The IN. Y." on the front of the shirts had nothing to do with the result as it might have had in an outdoor game but the Giants were just in the game from start to finish and played it for all 1t was worth.
 This was the first game of indoor base ball ever played in Birmingham and 1t drew large crowd to the Athletic club, but not as large as might have been ex- pected. The crowd was enthusiastic, but the game hardly aroused as much eX- citement as basketball In part this is due to many of the spectators not un- derstanding the fine points of the game.
 The visitors hit the ball harder than the Birmingham boys, but that was not the secret of their winning, so much as that whenever one struck first base safely he always went on around The secret of the game is to always keep moving to- wards the next base and take any chance. The Birmingham boys played a fine game, considering that this Is the first in which many of them have ever partici- pated, and with a little practice in the art of running the bases, they should have a strong team
 The score by innings last night was: New York ....,........1 4 0-27 Birmingham .. .....,.4 0-13

This afternoon they administered a second defeat to the vis- itors with the same score, to f The game was marked throughout by the hard hitting. heavy baserunning and brilliant fielding of the cadets. Their battery, Gam brell and Pollard did exceptional work for college ball. With three men on bases in the sixth inning they retired the side by cool, nervy playing.
 Hannon at shortstop again played a giltedge game, and led in honors for the infield. Foster at second Nichols at first and Pope at third exhibited skill of the same high order. In the outfeld Driver did the grandstand playing by captur- ing deep drives. A feature of the game was a pretty double by Hannon, Foster and Nichols in the fifth. The hitting of the cadets was again hard and punched today as yesterday.
 The season promises to be the most suc- cessful in the history of the institute. Ma teria Is abundant. and the fine coaching of Leidy and Hickman Is resulting in a team of the first order The score Tn sum mary Is: RH E. Institute . ......o0S0 S04O00 2-9 12 University 70 o 0 co 3 0-4 12

BILL LEMONS TAXES
 BLAME TO HIMSELF
Says He Robbed the Store of Warren Bros. Alone, But the Officers Do
 Not Believe His Statement.

Billy Lemons, alias Billy Walthall, gro arrested in Chattanooga several days ago with several of the pistols stolen from Warren Bros. in the last burglary, has made statement to Deputy Warden Me Milan of the Georgia penitentiary. in which he says that he alone robbed the place.
 The negro was questioned by the warden at the request of the Birmingham of ficers, who thought they might trace the other burglars through him. Lemons has admitted that he $ an escape from Pratt mines, where he had a term of eighteen years; from the Georgia penftentiary, from Louisiana and From Florida. In all the time he has amounts to 80 years, and that is more than life sentence unless he escapes again.
 As soon as the negro serves his Georgia term, the authorities in Alabama will try to bring him back here and make him serve the remainder of the eighteen years he owes. Florida wants him next and then Louisiana. The negro's confession Is not believed in regard to who was with him when he burglarized Warren Bros. as two other negroes took a number of pistols from the house where Lemons was living in Chattanooga. The officers had just searched the house and failed to find these pistols after arresting Lemons. A few minutes after the officers left the house these two negro pals of Lemons ap- peared, and when told about the officers being at the house, they reached behind a trunk and got an old grip filled with pistols and carried it away.
