Professor Nj. J. Dwyer, wrestling and boxing instructor O. the Birmingham Ath- leuc club, and Charles Leonhardt. cham pion Graeeo-Roman wrestler of America. will meet Tuesday night at the Athletic club in a straight Graeco-Roman match This promises to be the best match of the entire series, as Leonhardt is master at the game, and Dwyer has proven him self the superior of all corners so far in both the catch-as-eateh-can and Graeco- Roman.
 Leonhardt seems to have tho best of the argument, as Dwyer's game is dateh-as- catch-can. but at that Dwyer seems to think that he has an even break to win. Leonhardt is the stronger of the two men physically, and his neck muscles are par ticularly well developed, and they are needed in the Craeco-R Roman game more

BLACH'S
BASEBALL GOSSIP

Frank Delehanty who was secured from Montgomery by exchange, telegraphed to Manager Vaughan yesterday that he would report in Birmingham at noon Tuesday, and would be out at the park that afternoon.
 Last year in 12S games in Montgomery, about half of which he played in the in- field and the remainder in the outfield, he batted PA. He was at the bat 475 times, made 42 runs, and secured 116 hits for a total of 150 bases.
 At short Delehanty played 1T games, made 1os put outs. AT assists and 30 er- rors with percentage of 1895. In the out field he participated in 49 games. and had a record of P put outs, assists, errors and percentage of .951.
 Delehanty is what is known as "com- ing ball player" He is still young and is developing rapidly. This year he should increase his batting average, should be a faster fielder and have a higher all round percentage. In swapping Henry Lynch for Delehanty, Father Vaughan pulled off good deal.
 Henry Lyncn has reported to Montgom- cry. He left Birmingham yesterday for the Capitol city, and has commenced p.actieing with the gretzels If Lynch stays in good condition and works will ingly, he will make Montgomery a good man, for he can play either the inield or the outfeld, and Is good batter His playing depends entirely on his mood and feelings. If he gets mad in a game he is apt to go high in the air and play an indifferent game.
 Connie Maek's Athletics will come for two games this week. The first will be tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, and the next will be Tuesday afternoon. After the Athletics a section of the Cincinnati Reds will come for two games on the 30 anu 31
 Weldon Henley is with the Athletics. He was pitcher for Tech several years ago. and then signed with Atlanta, where he played for a year Last season he went to the big league and made good with the Athletics.
 The game tomorrow afternoon should be a good one,. as the Barons will be in good shape for the first time this year The infield will be complete. and 1t is pos- sible that Murdock may be able to play left field. Otherwise Schiap can go to left and Wagner can remain in right
 Tuesday afternoon Delehanty may be able to get into the game, but 1t is doubt full, as he will have traveled a long dis tence.

which can win, the right to remain with the Napoleons another season.
 The Cleveland squad this season is made up as follows; Behind the bat there are Harry Bemis, who ranks with Criger of Boston, and Sullivan of Chicago, in gen eral all round ability; Fred Beulow, one of the finest throwing backstops in the game. whose only weakness is with the stick, and Mig Clarke. the popular Atlanta backstop of last season, who's release was purchased by the Cleveland club last fall. The pitching staff consists of Bernhard Donahue Moore and Joss, four veterans of well known ability.

 George Stovall and Charley Carr Will fight it out for the first base position. Manager Lajoie will of course be a nx- ture at second base. Lajoies superior ity in this position has been so long es- tablished that no one ever presumes to comnare any other second baseman with the pig Frenchman. Terry Turner Is also counted upon to hold his place at short stop and great things are predicted Tor the youngster this season. Last year Tur- ner was out of the game two months on account of an attack of typhoid fever, but in spite of this handicap he made credltable record and demonstrated that he was made of major league material -N-N@ Bill Bradley. For q utility infileder Man aRer Lajoie has secured Nick Kahl who played third base for the Kansas City Western league team in 1903
 The Outfield.
 Manager Lajoie has four outfielders with him. two tried and true veterans and two minor league stars. Flick and Bay are the veterans and both of them are top notch men in the outer garden. Bay was the champion base runner of the American league in 1903 while Flick tied him for the honor fast year because a spralned ankle kept Bay out of the game the last two weeks of the season. As a right fielder Flick ranks next to Willie Keeler while as a center fielder Bay does not have to acknowledge any superiors, as he covers more ground than any other man in the American league and is the fastest man In the league get ting down to first base. The youngsters are Vinson and Jimmie Jackson. Last season was Vinson's first as profession al player. He joined the Providence club, of the Eastern league about the middle of the season and led the Eeastern league

 This Season.

The Cleveland American league team, which will appear under Mount Slag for two games on April and G. is known as the hardest hitting aggregation in the Johnson circuit Sam Crane, the vet eran baseball writer of the New York Evening Journal, last year dubbed them "The Fence Breakers" because of their oft proved ability to hit the ball up against the fences of the large Ameri- can league parks.
