SLAGPILE NOTES.

The Barons will try to trim the wings of Tommy stouch and his bunch of birds this afternoon. wild Bnr' Clarke will be on the firing line for the Cotton States leaguers, and it is probable that one of the youngsters will pitch for Birming- ham. This may be Sallee or Fitzpatrick.
 Considering that yesterday was about the fourth time that Meridian has been on the field this season. and some of the players have not handled a ball before, they put up a very pretty game against the Barons.
 "Sis Hopkins says that he will be- have himself this year in a manner that was never heard of before, and that by next year he will be where he belongs, up among the big leagues. If he sticks to his resolution there is no telling where he will land. He has al the goods that are needed.
 Manager Vaughan's finger is not badly bruised, but he does not care to take any chances. When he was at third in the game Wednesday fly ball struck 1t in falling and bruised 1t little.
 Whether or not that ripple play was all right yesterday, Umpire Burke should have called 1t an infeld fly as soon as the ball was batted if he thought that 1t was an infield fly.
 When Hafford reaches first it Is almost a cinch that he will steal second base. Base runners who held records last year had better look to their laures.
 Mayer seems to be a batter. He Is making an excellent impression on the fans and experts who have watched him for the past two days. He will proba- bly, be In the game today.
 The admission today to the grand stand and smoker will be 25 cents. and if the weather Is good the indications are that the crowd will be large.

KAVANAUGH TALKS
 OF THE SO. LEAGUE President of League Think Prospects Are Bright HAFFORD TO STAY HERE Judge Kavanaueh Thinks That the Southern League Will Be In
 Class A Before the Draft
 ing Season.
HAFFoRD TO STAY HERE

Judge w. M. Kavanaugh' president or the Southern League and one of the most prominent men in baseball in America today, spent esterday in Birminghan' discussing baseball matters with the To- cal management. He was en route TO Anniston on personal business. and will probably return to Birmingham this af- ternoon or tonight.
 President Kavanaugn is very enthusi- astic over the Southern League pros poets for this year, and also the chances of getting in Class A, before the season closes.
 Strength of League.
 q believe that the Southern League teams are from 15 to % per cent faster this year than ever before" said the president yesterday "1ne weak teams Of last season have certainly strengthened themselves this year, and they seem to be about 25 per cent faster than last year. The stronger teams of last year have also strengthened themselves, an average of about 25 per cent l should say.
 What are the prospects of getting in Class A 2"
 Well, there is every reason to belive that the Southern League will be Class A league before the end of this season We are rapidly advancing in this league and that fact Is being recognized by the people who have the right to classify the leagues. I think that we will cer- tainly be in Class A before the drafting season.
 Matter of Tickets.
 q stopped over especially to discuss the matter of tickets with the Birmingham management We were to have all the tickets printed by one firm, and the con- tract called for a union label on the tickets. The firm fell out with the unions and could not use the labels.
 "The tickets were refused when they were delivered and now they will be print ed in various cities. The tickets to be used in Birmingham will be printed here. "I am glad to say that Birmingham will be able to keep Hafford. He was re- leased by Lowell at a meeting, and when he signed with the Barons he was free. I have instructed the Birmingham as- sociation to hold him and play him.
 '1 appreciate the support given me by the newspapers. the managers and the public In the stand against Howard Grif- fiths and the others who sought to dis organize the baseball agreement. I have preferred charges against Griffiths and expect that he will loose his place in the national commission.
 "The reports from all over the circuit are that interest in baseball is increasing, and in fact hear nothing but favorable reports. I am glad that the accounts from Birmingham are all so favorable"

thought that the ball was an infield fly, and Umpire Burke so thought. On the oth- CT hand Tommy Stouch thought that 1t could not have been handled by the fielder
 By the play Mayer was credited with a put out and an assist He threw the ball to Ward at second, who Is credited with the second put out, and Hafford secured the third, he being the nearest fielder to Harlow, who made the third out
 The Barons' first run came in the initial inning. Hafford was hit by the ball and stole second base. Dusty Miller hit the ball to left field for two bags, and Half ford scored easily. Ward flew out to the catcher, and Hennessy hit to Sorber in center field. It did not look like Sox would get the ball, and Miller started for third. He was caught off the bag.
 In the third inning Catcher Clarke led off with a single down towards first base and Cowboy Clarke made a beautiful sacrifice, sending him to second. Hafford had the necessary hit to left field, and Clarke crossed the plate. Hafford stole second, but was never able to score, as the next two men went out.
 The fifth produced the third run, when Mayer hit for two bags to left field and Catcher Clarke sacrificed him to third. Harlow threw the ball to third a minute afterwards, and the ba1i went wild, Clarke coming home.
 No More Runs.
 After Hennessy was out in the sixth, Delehanty uncorked his second two-bag- ger, and Murdock followed with another one to left field fence, scoring Delly. Mayors hit safe, scoring Murdock. Cow boy Clarke advanced him to third on single, but Hafford hit a long fly to center and three men were down.
 In the third inning Sawyer hit safe and Sis Hopkins put the ball against the right field fence for two bags. Sawyer could easily have scored but Parrott, who was on the coaching line, held him at third. No one was out. but the next three hit flies to the outfield and Sawyer never had a single chance to come home on throw in.

Alabama 3, Auburn 2.

Auburn, April 13.-(special)-In pretty game this afternoon on the campus Au- burn yielded the first of the series to Tuscaloosa by the score of to 2. Tus- caloosa made the only score in the first inring and made third base only once more during the game. Auburn's scores were made by Steele and Neil, who lined out three bagger and home run re- spectively. The game was characterized by fast playing on both sides and few sensational plays in the field by Hall and Skinner of Auburn.
 Ellington was decidedly the star of Tus- caloosa's team, pitching good ball and making several good plays. He gave bases to three on balls and allowed several hits. Weems was in the box for Auburn and did star pitching, allowing only one base on balls. There were several err TOTS on both sides. but the game was one or the prettiest ever seen in Auburn.

Point at Issue.

The only point at issue was whether Mayer could have caught the ball be- fore 1t struck the ground. or in other words whether it was an infeld fly If 1t was not an infield fly the runners were entitled to advance base on 1t without being liable to being thrown out at the base they had just left. If 1t was an in-
 field fly a runner cannot leave his base. A majority of the fans and players
