Meek viii Probably Be on First, Al
cock at Short and Montgomery
at Third-Line-Up of the
Two Teams.

As near as anyone in Birmingham
knows that will be the lineup of the two
teams, Birmingham and Atlanta, which
open the 1907 season OF the Southern lea
que here today.
Tho initial ball of the season will be
pitched by Mayor Ward of Birmingham,
and the second by Mayor Joyner of At
lanta or President Dickerson of the At
lanta club. after which the two teams
will settle down to the business of win
ming the first game
Whether or not the dope is good, At
1anta is figured to win the opening con-
test by small odds, the preference being
given to the visitors on account of the
fact that two or three Birmingham play
ers are out of the game or hardly in good
shape. Whatever preference there Is
arises from this fact, and yesterday there
were number of bets made of to and
10 to ON Atlanta, all of which does not
spell anything, however, in the results of
the game.
Raglan Will Probably TwirI.
Raglan will probably twrl tor the
Barons and Cellar for the Crackers, al
though either manager may switch at the
last minute and Manager Vaughn may
send Wilhelm to the firing line and Spade
capacity.
In the same way ii is not known def
ntely who will officiate for the Barons
back of the bat or who will be on the
initial sack 1t is probable, however, that
Garvin will catch and Meek play first
base, as Lister has been suffering from
boil and has not been in the game for
some time.
Alccck will be at short, and at will prob
ably be a week or ten days before Oyler
is able to so to his regular place. Mont
gomery has not entirely recovered himself,
but his playing in the game Saturday
was a feature, his hitting in particular,
and against the best that the Detroits
could send to the box.
Barons Stronger at Bat.
The dope artists, however, have it
figured out that Birmingham is stronger
at the bat than Atlanta, and that Molcs-
worth, Smith, Gardner, Montgomery, AL
cock and Meek, following each other in
batting order are apt to break up a game
at any time On form the Barons prob
ably have a little the best of the argu-
ment in the box, with either Raglan or
Wilhelm pitching. Either of them is
considered a shade stronger than Cellar,
and either of them should be better in
this league than Spade. as both know
a majority of the batters in the league
But then its no use to guess. No one
knows who will win. but the owl and
the moon, and they were not talking for
publication last night. Its all guess work
until after the ninth inning this after
noon.

Reverence For Age.

There is an old story which illus
trates reverence which the aneients
felt for old age. Into one of the
greatest amphitheatres Of Greece, fill
ed to the gates with a throng assem-
bled to witness the athletic games so
popular in those days, an aged man
went one day. Every seat was taken
One hundred Athenian boys sat on
one side: as many Spartan youths
sat on the other side. Seeing the old
man. the Athenian boys, true to their
instruction, rose and uncovered their
heads. but not one went so far as t'
offer his place to the aged man.
He turned toward the Spartan side.
All rose and. bowing low, each prof
fered his seat. whereupon the Athen-
ian lads broke out in prolonged ap
plause.
The old man paused. smiled and
bowinc. said: "The Athenian knows
what reverence for old age IS: the
Spartans show that reverence

about 73. and four times married.
These old eolored people are known

"Uncle''' Peter has many children,
as has Aunt Elsie, and these children

have the ceremony postponed. but the
old people persisted. and were mar

presence Of large crowd Of colored
people and a considerable number of
whites who had gathered to witness

bouquet Of white flowers. She march,
