rett to take a few pointers from Null laney's conduct
 So much cannot be said for Hausen, the big mouthed back stop of the Pretzels. Hausen seemed to take 1t upon himself to do most of the talking and was one of the most active Saturday afternoon. He was the first to grab up the bat bag, and seemed anxious for tne men to get out of the park. It looked though he was afraid Durrett might change his mind about refusing to play. The cause of Hausens interest in the matter is not known, but it is certain that he appeared more active than the other players.
 There has been some discussion as to whether Sallee gets credit in the pitchers records of the league for the forfeited game Saturday. He gets the same credit he would if he had pitched full nine in- nings
 Every member of the Baron team was sorry that the game could not be played Saturday "I felt real peppery today remarked Dale Gear in the dressing room after Durrett said he would not play And so do l. chorused the rest
 The management wishes it plainly un- derstood that any person holding d rain check of the Saturdays ticket can have their money refunded by calling at the office of the association at the Birming- ham Arms company. The checks. how ever. will be good for any game this season.
 Outfelder Nadeau has been released by Charley Frank of the Peicans and has signed with Memphis. Bird has taken Nadeau's place in center for New Or leans.
 Chesbro does not seem to be in the form he was two years ago In all the games he has pitched this year he lacked speed and has been hit hard. Unless he shows winning form soon the Tanks will be badly off in the box as orth has not as yet shown at his best.-New York Mail
 Birmingham continues to win. Some of the scribes around the circuit say the Barons have had easy picking with poor teams. However that may be. Harry Vaughan's bunch deserves all the credit that is due a team which delivers the goods.-Memphis News-Scimitar.
 The Montgomery Journal asks Has anybody got a rabbit foot they will kind ly lend Durrett?" Several vigorous ap- plications of rawhde followed by a piece of the now famous pink paper, would do Durrett more good than any thing else.
 A pair of Regal shoes has been offered to every Baron who knocks home run on the local diamond this year. Dale Gear was the first to get a four bag ger.
 The Durrett affair has recalled incidents of the day when Sam Mills was manager of the Coal Barons. Mills thought he could fight the league and defy the presi- dent just as Durrett seems to think now.
 "Please be merciful, Mir Kavanaugh." is pitiful appeal heard from Montgom- cry. The most merciful thing that MT Kavanaugh could do just at present would be to fire Durrett from the league.
 Lee Garvin, the popular backstop with the Travellers last year. who will do part of the receiving for the Barons this year. Is rapidly rounding into condition Gar win, while he has lost a little weight
 
 time enthusiasm. and in few days will be in condition to catch. He thinks that all of his strength will be regained in short time, and he is anxious to get back Into the game again.
