DESSAU ID PITCH
 FOR COAL BARONS Vaughan Talks of the Team
 and the Prospects
TICKETS SENT PLAYERS
Things Are Not So Bad as Some Would Indicate-Slx Men From Which to Draw an Outfleld.
 Good Batteries.

Frank Dessau will pitch for Brming- ham after all. A telegram was received yesterday by Manager Vaughan from Dessau, stating that he would certainly wear the Baron uniform this year, and that the contract had been mailed, and he would report as soon as he received trans portation. Harry sent him a ticket post haste.
 Tickets have also been sent to Ginger and Cowboy Clark, Ward, Hennessy, Wagner, Pylant, Hafford, Moore and Mat thews The latter is in Atlanta and Man ager Vaughan is anxious for him to re- port at once. Everyone of the men named will reach Birmingham Sunday or Mon day and some will be here before that time.
 Dessau Good. Dessau is good man and will strengthen the team. Last year he was second in batting in the league, which Big Miller lead. Beside that Dessau won a large majority of his games and his combination batting and pitching made him a valuable man.
 Harry Vaughan said yesterday:
 some OI lIeill AAiilh tAAes WI --- very weak? We'll l do not think so. Of course we can strengthen the team and we are doing so as fast ss men can be signed.
 "I cannot see where we are so weak as some would indicate. Behind the bat l would not swap with any team in the league In the box we are very strong and have at least four good men with a deal on for another, and we have three men from whom there is chance to pick a good slabman.
 In the Field.
 Tn the field we have six men to draw from Murdock is there with the goods, and we know that We will probably have Carlos Smith and Viola both of whom are men up to the Southern league average. We also have Billy Smith, Hennessy and Big Miller. Out of those six we are cer- tain to pick three as fast as the league supports.
 s.In the infield we are experimenting a little, but then we are by no means rest ing on our laurels. The team is not all signed until the end of the season. and we have some deals on that Will pc per fected when the time comes l am not worried a particle, although we had harder luck with the men we were after than any other team In the league.
 We will have three or four carpenters at work at the grounds tomorrow and until the Improvements are completed. The work on extending the grand stand will commence at once and will be com pleted long before the opening of the season.
 Our uniforms at home will be white and on the road we will have light grey, both of which will be ordered as soon as the men report and We get their measure We will also order a dozen or more new coats for the men. They will probably be blue with maroon trimmings, and they will be the best we have ever had.
 Most of the team will be here Sunday or Monday and we will give a number of the youngsters tryout. l have sent contract to Viola and expect to hear from him at any time. Carlos Smith, an outfielder, will probably be with the Ba- rons this year"

"There has been over 30 per cent In

Wood of New York in his speech before
the National Temperance society in
the Young Peoples temple at Ocean

Mr.. Wood, who is the field and hnan-

was large amount of drunkenness
among women In England, but that the
United states had been comparatively
free from this vice until Of late years.
In England 81 per cent OF hc deaths
of children were caused directly or in
directly by the drinking Of parents, he
declared. Mr.. Wood asserted that tenn
perance lecturers often make state
ments which are not true and which
hurt the cause.
There IS much ignorance in the
minds Of the people about the poison

particular by want Of power to re-

United States Consul Knabenshul, at
Belfast, reports to the department of
commerce and labor that the sum
spent for intoxicating liquors in Great
Britain and Ireland in the calendar
year 1904 was $S17 100000 in round

creasing. The average per capita ex-
penditure for drink in 1904 was 5000
for England, S15.57 for Scotland and
S15.OS for Ireland. In Belfast, with
an estimated population Of 35S,693, the
