THE PROBABLE LINE UP

Montgomery, February 22.-President D. P. Amerine of the Montgomery baseball club. believes he has as fast a bunch as will be in the Southern league. and looks for the fellows he has gotten to- gether to play pennantwinning ball. The management has decided, it Is said, to hang up a purse of 5000 to be divided among the players if they win the rag for Montgomery the coming season. The street railway company has bought ten acres of ground for new park at Flee tric park to which it has three lines of track and four most of the way. Here will be constructed a modern park and one that will be in every way conducive to good baseball The fans are hungry for the crack of the willow and if there is anything in outlook they will give the boys the greatest support in the history of this sport-loving city and community.
 The line up this year, before the weed ing out process begins, Is as follows:
 Infeld, D. J. Mullaney Charles Schwartz Heine Busch, c. S. Perry and J. H. Hines; outfield, Ike H. Durrett. manager William Delehanty, H. A. King and J. G. Holland; catchers D. A. Mc- Aleese and II. A. Smith pitchers, John Malarky, John McCrane, Roy Hale, John McMakin, Fred Boyle, J. P. Frye, Will liam May, Rich Germane and Mack Rob inson.
 Of the infield. Mullaney, Schwartz and Busch, first, second and utility, respee- lively, are of the old team Hines is a promising youngster, recommended oy Mullaney, and looks good. He has made somewhat of a name with the stick for one so young and he ought to develop. Perry was drafted from the Iowa State league to play third. in the place of Dan Brothers, of grateful memory, who has gone higher in the service. h 93 games last year he had 145 put outs, 252 as slsts fielding average of .919 and batting average of PIT. If that doe not look like business there Is nothing in the history argument so far as a player goes He is 2S years of age and weighs 1SO pounds
 Durrett Has Made Good.
 Ike Durrett Is of all ball players well known He came back to the team last season late and pulled 1t out of the hole, making great record as a manager and player. He will likely be on the bench much of the time though will be ready to play if needs be. Strong points in Delehanty King and Holland are their base running qualities. All of them are 300 hitters and swift of foot as they are practiced and keen of eye. It Is told of Holland that he is another Oldring, terrific hitter and the best man of recent outputs of Clemson college. He Is zl years of age and weighs 1S5 pounds. Del ehanty Is from the baseball clan of the name, the youngest of the lot. It is pre- dicted that he will be the hardest hitter of the family. He starts out that way at any rate King was in the Cotton States in 1903 and 1904, anc the North western In 1905. He is very much like Hahn, who made the big hit with the Pelcana last year and went into faster company He Is 27 years of age and tips the beam at 1855.
 The new catchers and both are new not | only to Montgomery but the Southern league, are 300 hitters With Duluth last season McAleese had in 94 games 5sl put outs, 137 assists, 97S average and bat ting record of 299.
 Pitching Outlook Good. The pitching outlook Is the best in the circuit, thinks President Amerne. Ma larkey, bought from Columbus of the American association, Is regarded as a fine addition and great things are ex- pected of him. McCrane, bought from the Philadelphia Americans, is thought to he ona of Inc very hest soutbna in,
