Practice Begins Soon.

Meridian, Miss, March 1.-The To- cal base ball association is beginning to make move on,'' with reference to the contemplated baseball practice and to the baseball season, beginning April 19.
 A man has been employed to look will be a continuous performance un- til the season closes. The grounds will soon be in first class condition and will be kept that way.
 Manager Guy Sample has ordered all of his men to be in Meridian on March 19, which will give them just a month to get ready for actual busl- ness.
 Several practice games have been arranged and it has been decided to have three games with the team of the Marion (Ala.) Military Institute in Meridian, April 5, 6 and 2. Other games with Birmingham and several other places will be arranged.
 The directors of the local associa- tion will hold meeting Friday night, when the outlook and general situ- ation will be considered.

TWO DRAWN BATTLES
Resulted at Wilmington Park Enter
 tanment Last Niqht.

Hot Springs March 1.-The twenty round bout last night between Fred Landers of Frisco and Clarence Eng. fish of Omaha was declared draw after twenty rounds of fast work in which honors were generally even.
 During the first part of the contest Landers had decidedly the best of the argument and was the aggressor un. til the twelfth round, when English opened gash over Lander's eye which bled freely and interfered with the boys sight. English was quick tc take advantage of every opportuni. ty and began each subsequent round by reopening the cut. It was give and take until, the last round, in which English punished his oponent severe ly, although he received a fair return.
 Generally however, the decision was considered fair.
 The semi-windup between Willie McNamara and Phil Knight went the full eight rounds to a draw with hon. ors slightly favoring Knight.
 Bat Masterson was invited to refer rec the main bout but he declined

Jackson, Miss, March 4.-In sign ing players for the approaching sea- son, all of the local managers ill the Cotton States league are showing a disposition to strictly follow the sal ary limit of 5000, and the indications are that all will manage to obtain teams within that figure.
 Some of the players, especially those who have heretofore appeared in Cotton States uniforms are rather reluctant about affixing their sigma lures at the reduced figures, and a few players, especially the pitchers, made mighty bluffs, hoping to secure private agreements for more pay than set forth in the formal contracts, but it is not likely that this game will be attempted by any manager.
 The signing of players is making good headway. Jackson's team has been practically completed, and some of the players will be here this week to commence practice work. The grounds have been put in good condi- tion, and the series of exhibition games next month with the Southern league teams is being looked forward to with much interest Jack and Pat Ryan are engaged in daily workouts, and will try to make good with Jack son or some other team on the circuit
 Manager Guy Sample of Meridian has signed Bill Bruner, the husky pitcher who performed some excellent work for the White Ribboners last year. This gives Meridian a pitching staff of Crossley, Nunnerly, McFar land, Presley and Burner. In fact the team runs largely to pitchers, and it is evidently the intention of Sample to work his pitching staff in the out field on off days.
 The difference between members oi the Mobile association and c. c Briggs, owner of the franchise, are about to be adjusted, and Mobile will be recruiting her staff of players within the next few days.

 Miller is now consulting with ell thusiaSts in GulfpCrt over prospects claimed the pennant, but he expects to finish in the first division, and al ready has assurance from those be- hind Gulfport's venture that if his team succeeds in this they will be satisfied.
 Miller hqs signed several nlayeNs His frs selection was Mickey 0 Bri- en- who caught for he Huntsville Tri State league team last season. O'Brien led the 1'ri-Staters in his position, and his hitting and throwing satisfied Alabama fans. Pitchers Lively and Bryant have been signed. Behan is Miller's selection as second baseman. Lively was regarded, in Huntsville at least, as the best pitcher developed last season by the Tri-State league
 While pitching for Huntsville in Chattanooga he operated in the only 1 runless-hitless game of the year.
 Miller himself smashed at 300 clip last year in the TriState. His fielding was we'll above the $50 mark. Under his management Alabama fan. 5ties and those hereabouts who are familiar with Niller's tactics expect to hear of him reaping success in lis neW field
