Beaver Masters and Siaves-Puma
Saved innocent Girl.
The Indians say that If a beaver
sent out from the parents lodge fails
to ind . mate he is set to repair the
dam. II he fails q second time he IL
banished.
An Arab writer has the same story.
He tells US that those who buy beaver
skins can distinguish between the
skins Of masters and slaves. The lat
ter have the hair of the head rubbed
on. because they have to pound the
wood for their masters food. and do
1t with their heads.
One more story Is about the puma,
the friend of man." A certain NAL
donada. . girl Of Buenos Ayres. was
falsely accused of having sought to
betray the town to the Indians, and
was condemned to be exposed in the
forest. An enormous puma guarded
her all night from the attacks Of other
beasts. The next day she was taken
back to the town and pronounced to
be innocent-Romance OF Animal

cipal streets in the city were taken in and the teams were greeted with cheers from all directions
 When the ball park was reached, Man ager Vaughan lined the two teams up abreast and marched them down the field with the band between, and the several hundred fans drowned the music with the old familiar yell which often goes sky ward from the bleachers of Baronvlle.
 Game Is Called.
 At 3:30 o'clock Umpire Bassett, who graduated from the Cotton States League last year, called the game and announced the batteries. Lee went in the box for Montgomery, and Ragan for Birmingham. When the latter's name was announced a shout of joy went up from the assem- bled multitude, for 1t seemed to them fore warning of victory to come.
 The Barons trotted on the diamond, their new white uniforms showing off to great advantage. With the black caps, black belts and stockings and the white uniforms the B. rons will be decidely the neatest looking team in the circuit.
 It looked as if luck was going against Manager Vaughan and his team from the very first. Just a minute before the bell

CTS played too far off the initial bag and was caught between first and sec ond, and was out. Shiebeck struck out.
 The fourth produced the Barons' first run and tied the score. Hafford was giv en a free ticket to first base. Dusty Miller dropped a nice one to Lee, but Mullaney dropped the ball at first and Hafford went to third, while Dusty kept on to the keystone bag. Ward tried to hit the ball, but it rolled into Lees hands, He held the runners on the bags.
 Father Vaughan shot a hot one to sec ond base and Hafford scored easily from third. Dusty went down to third like a streak of lightning and kept right on home. hoping to land safely on the throw to first He came within an ace of doing so. but Mullaney made pretty throw and Pat Millerick nailed Dusty at the plate. It was taking chance and the slightest misplay would have meant another run for the Barons. Barry led off with hit for Montgom- cry in the fifth and stole second, but he died there for Mullaney fouled out to Clarke. Millerick hit short fly to Dele hanty and Lee struck out. In Birming-

It looked as if Manager Vaughan would have to send some one else in the box, but Rip was game and stuck 1t out all though the finger pained him every time he delivered the ball
 Clarke Was Hurt.
 But the two teams are lined up and Lynch, an old Baron, steps to the hat leading off for the Montgomerians. The first ball thrown was good and he swung at 1t viciously. It was a foul tip and struck Clarke on the shoulder. The blow was hard and for while it was thought that the shoulder blade was broken. The players rubbed it few minutes and then Clarke went back in the game. Before the second ball had been thrown both members of the battery had been in- jured.
 Lynch. however, was an easy out and the next two that followed him were equally as easy, Shannon and Schwartz. TOT tne bdrOnS 1ldilOiu, hiuei dHu W dru made easy outs.
 The first run was pushed across the plate in the second inning. and was the result of battery error. Shieback was passed to first base by Ragan. whose finger was paning him considerably. after Brouthers had struck out A wild pitch by Ragan allowed him to get to second. It looked pretty good for the Barons to prevent a run when Rip struck out Barry. With two strikes and three balls on Null laney, that curly headed initial bagman soaked the ban for two bags over first base and the first run of the season had been scored.
 Vaughan, Delehanty and Murdock were retired in one. two. three order in the second inning. When the third inning commenced Montgomery sent Lee. Lynch and shannon up and they went out in just that order, Lynch having struck out. Clarke struck out in Birmingham's half of the game but Moore secured a pretty single. the first hit made by a Baron dur in,. the season He was caught off first and run down by Mullaney.

 Hafford did some bright stunts at the bat and on the path. He soaked the ball good and hard a couple of times. and secured three of the runs made He only had two chances in the field. but they were handled perfectly.
 Delehanty also secured a couple of hits Flelders touched the oall both times, but there was so much speed to the balls that the fielders could not hold them

 Brouthers and Barry each secured a couple of hits for the visitors, two ragger of the former scoring the second run. Mullaney's two-bagger scored the first run of the Pretzels, but his error in the fourth permitted the Barons to secure their first tally.
 Barons' Team Work.
 The Barops played the game for all there was fin it. Every sacrifice attempted by the team held good, and hits were secured when hits were needed Every member of the team was in the game with his heart and soul, and they played snappy ball for the entire nine innings. The support given Ragan was fine and he deserved it all It was the first time h. had been in the box for about ten days, but his control was fine and he worked the various balls for all they were worth.
 Team work on the Baron's part robbed the Montgomerians of several points which might have Deen of advantage to them Every Baron backed up the plays and there was life and ginger to burn.
 Manager Vaughan kept all the players on the jump, ard the players talked to each other and encouraged each other all through the game. The men on the coaching lines took all the chances that were possible, and Matthews had the bleachers with him as Matty of old.
 Lee pitched good game. He had con- trol, speed and good curves but his sup port was not the best in the world. The Montgomery team lacked team work sev- eral times. and were hardly as fortunate as the Barons when there were run ners on the bases.
 This afternoon Manager Vaughan will pitch Ginger" Clark, and Hale will probably work for the visitors. Other wise the teams will lineup practically as they ended yesterday.
