CHAT OF BASEBALL
PERSONNEL OF TOM O'BRIEN'S
 MONTGOMERY TEAM.
Some of the CIevePest Youngsters oi the Diamond Will Wear Local UnifOrmB--The F0rthcOm-
 ing League Meeting.

The spersonnal Tom O'Brien's Pretzels for 1905 still remains shroud- ed in doubt.
 With the February or schedule meet ing of the Southern Baseball League scarcely a month off things baseball are beginning to get to a white heat In local fandom. That meeting will be held in Montgomery about February 15, the schedule being submitted and every detail for the coming season being arr ranged then.
 Manager O'Brien has written that he will be in Montgomery to attend the meeting. A number of his 1905 team will probably come with him. As re- porting time is early in March the man . ager and the men. who come with him will hardly leave Montgomery again until the tin-can is attached to some of the unfortunates The local baseball season for 1905 will virtually be said to have commenced by the middle of February, and from then until Octo- Der the national game will hold the center of the limelight.
 Everything so far is hinging on a third baseman, all the other positions on the team being filled. On paper the aggregation looks pretty good, but there is a bit of difference between a team on paper being discussed remi- niscently around cheery fire on win ter's night and that same team in ac- ton on the green diamond in June and July.
 From 8 long distance standpoint the local outfield for 1905 will be pretty swift even without the presence of one Isaac Durrett. With Ross in left Molesworth in center and Delehanty in right, the lots should stack up with anything in the League.
 The infield looks to be a glittering galaxy, and if things pan out all right it will be one of the most formidable in the circuit. With Mullaney on first Schwartz on second, Doc Lowney and Kid Busch at short and one of the fastest mtnor league men in the coun- try on the string for third, a successful bunt or sacrifice will be about as scarce an article as the proverbial molars of the female fowl

 Big Delehanty made two or three swings at the twisters the stranger served up to him and then he turned ringer he said. We all laughed at Deps remark, but the laugh didn't last.

the first floor of the building, along with
Samuel Cowap. At the first sound of
