splendid one. from an amateur stand
point, and It is a certainty that the fans
attending will have something to interest
them.
OF the receipts of the Birmingham Mo
bile series the Barons will receive 60 per
cent and the eSa Guils 40 per cent. The
receipts coming to the Barons will be
equally divided among the players, after
the expenses are paid.
In this series the same rules governing
the players as now existing will obtain

diately for Mobile. The games will be
scored by the official scorer of the Cot
ton States league stationed at Mobile and
the official scorer of the Southern league
stationed at Birmingham
In spite of the criticism that has been
heard relative to this series, some declar-
ing that Birmingham has everything to
lose and nothing to gain, interest will be
at a red hot state throughout. True, Bir-
mingham outranks Mobile, and will win
al least three of the games. However,
Mobile thoroughly outranks any other ag
gregation of the Cotton States league,
and will be a worthy opponent for the
Barons steel. Among the pitchers of the
Mobile aggregation Vernuellle is the star
and If any one of the bunch wins from
Birmingham it will be he.
In addition to the interest that will be
centered in the games the local fans in
both cities will be only too glad to at
tend the games, for this will show that
they appreciate the consistent efforts of
the fellows who have landed pennants
for Alabama in two leagues. in which
more than half dozen states are repre-
scented.
1t is expected that numerous fans from
Birmingham will attend the games played
in Mobile, and vice versa. In addition, 1t
is probable that many other fans from
many other cities will see some of the
contests.
The acceptance of Manager Vaughn's
terms. as outlined yesterday, are expected
at any time.

The receipts in the BrminghamPe ll City
game will be divided equally among the
Barons, the visitors, according to Man
ager G. w. Pratt, who discussed the mat
ter yesterday with President Baugh and
Manager Vaughn, desiring only their ex-
penses. According to Manager Pratt, the
members of his team are rejoicing with
the local fans over the success that is
attending the Barons, and are willing to
play this game to shaw In a way their
appreciation. Mr.. Pratt received the
thanks of the league officials, and the
fans who overheard the conversation.
Inasmueh as this game will be played
simply for the benefit of the players of
the local squad, II is a certainty that a
big attendance will lineup to see the
struggle. While the contest will not be
exposition of the game to compare with
that put up yesterday by the Barons and
the Pelicans, it is certainly that the fans
will be glad to see it, and by so doing to
contribute their widows mite" to the
good cause.

Salee works against Liebhardt. 1t would
be amusing If Sallee should win both
games, and it is a certainty that Lieb-

Montgomery again approaches the 500
