Criticism of Barons.

The following criticism of the Bir- mingham team by one. of the local fans was published in the Birmingham Ledger and needs no comment:
 Tn the catching department the Coal Barons are the strongest in the entire Southland. Tn the pitching. end of the game Vaughan has the nucleus only of strong stan. Clarke is a proved prop osition, and Salee appears. to be head and shoulders over many of the al- legged stars of last year, although he the king-pin of the Southern twirlers, should not be looked upon, however as a certainty.
 Wilhelm, it should be remembered, has been pitching several years against strong teams with a very weak support and, in the vernacular, has pitched his box. Consider climatic differences in Boston and the South, and the only suspicion Is, yet 1t remains Has Will helm injured his arm? Enthusiasm says No of course, but enthusiasm has not won Birmingham many pen | nants, and it is time to get cold blood ed in figuring out the probabilities. Reagan looks good to me. The oth- CTS are untried material, and, candid ly. Desau and Plyant are impossibili- ties. It appears to be up to Jones' Utter and Billiard to make up the oth- CT man. If Wilhelm falls down Vaugh- an is up against 1t again for full staff of strong twirlers.
 First is stronger than last year, provided Elsey keeps his temper and does not get the sulks. To manage him is delicate proposition. Second is woefully weak. Short is a great gaping hole, and third is in the hands of a man whom I do not consider a legitimate infielder at all. To sum- marize, Vaughan has a weak infield. woefully and decidedly weak one.
 Tn the outfield Vaughan has a col lection of verftable stars but there is one thing to be borne in mind. If Molesworth's arm is still to the bad that outfield is not what 1t ought to be- It Is claimed for Gladys that his arm is good again. If that is fact, the

Connie Mack's New Right Hander Turn ed Over to Durretf and VIII be Important Addition to Box
 Staff,

Joe Meyers, yesterday signed Montgomery contract, and VIII proDa- Durretts pitching staff this season.
 Meyers is the youngster who has been pitching such great ball for Con nie Mack's Athletics since they haye is considered one of the cominr pitch CTS of the country and when such judge of ball players as Connie Mack looks on him as a coming star, 1t is pretty safe to say that he Is all right.
 He first caught the eye of Connie Mack two years ago when he pitched him from that club. but as he had no room for him on the pitching stan of the Athletics last year he let him go to the outlaw league in Pennsylvania. of the Athletics. was in the same league pitching for the Altoona club.

 dropped. The season of 1908 will see both of them on Montgomery team.
 It is hardly possible that there will be faster boxstaff in the Southern League this year than the one Ourrett will have. three right handlers and a couple of star southpaws.
 The Montgomery fans Know that Roy Hale is and they know that there are very few right handlers in the business who are better than the smiling, good natured chap. He works hard all the time and is possibly one of the steadi- est pitchers in this league
 He was greatly hampered last year ing at times to perfection and was invincible s5alt the great strain on his arm told materially on his control. As soon as he cut out the use of that ball his work steadily improved and when Durrett took charge of the team Hale games he worked in.

say there Is not a boy who has taken
part in these contests but what knows
this to be the case.
For the boys can say that outside OF
a few incidents arising In the excite

themselves like gentlemen and there lie
mot one OF them but does better now
than he did last fall. 1t is now up to
the people Of Elk Point to show the
same spirttof fairness and self-eontrol.
No team could have been treated better
than was our football team at YER
million last fall, and we must make IT,
80 that visiting teams coming here
will feel that they are entering into q
contest with friends among friends,
who want to see the best team win and
win fairly, rather Than that they are
among enemies who would not have
them win whatever the cost. And the
teams should feel that it is immeasure-
