good condition in every particular as any in the State.
 It Is the impression of baseball man. agers in the South that Lem Bailey will manage the locals this year, and he has received several letters asking for dates. The manager is o. E. Lath- am. who toured the South with Indian baseball players last season. Bailey Is merely volunteering his services until time for him to report at Sewanee, where he will train the university team this spring. He will go to Sewanee next month.
 Bailey Is in splendid condition and 1t is highly probable that he will be back in a Southern League uniform this year.
 May Release Negroes.
 It is possible that the three negroes now ir jail .the second time under sus- picion of killing slim" Johnson will be released. The authorities. 1t Is said. have been unable to find evidence that would tend to convict the negroes, Coroner Brislin has not held an in- quest and may not hold one. So far, 1t is said, that he has found no con- vincing testimony. It is believed that he is waiting on the deputies to arrest Bailey Lark, also implicated in the supposed murder, who Is at large. Deputy Sheriff Townsend has been un- able to find Lark.
 It was rumored yesterday that one of the negro prisoners would turn States evidence. but that has not been confirmed.
 The only thing that has been estab- lished so far is that Willie White. Bailey Lark, Jule Harris and Tobe Ed wards were with Johnson the last time he was seen. The negroes were gamb- ling near Valley Creek. John disap- peared and ten days afterwards his body was found floating down the Ala. bama river. There was an abrasion on | the negro's temple. and 1t is the theory of the authorities that Johnson won the money and was murdered by his partners who threw the body in the Alabama river.
