CHAS. FRANK WINS
 NEXT YEARS PENNANT

After finishing back two seasons straight Charley Frank announces that he intends to make the effort of his career next season to bag the prize plum of the package. His present plans include a new s2o,0o0 ball pary as a starter, the same to be peopled by the best team he has ever had.
 As q nucleus for his 1907 team he will surely carry over Cross, Sabre. Phillips, BreitCnstein, Manuel Gaston and others from this seasons club, with s big list of new additions whom he will pick from in the spring campaign.
 Charley hasn't enjoyed the situation very keenly of seeing Atlanta and Mem phis wrest the "backboneshp' of the league from the Crescent township. Bo.h towns have outdrawn New Orleans for the past two years by many thousand souls and the only hope to recover it's lost prestige will be a pennant-winning : gathering in 190S-Nashville Tennessean.

After winning the first game of the double-h header with Shreveport yester- day afternoon. and after having gained q start towards victory in the second, the Barons "paraehuted," and were forced to content themselves with half q loaf.
 Both games were listless in spite of the fact that the first was close and bitterly contested, Clarke and lick man were opposing slabmen in the first game. and both were hit hard. Becker had decidedly the best of the argument in the second game. Ragan making d miserable appearance. The scores were: First game. Birmingham. ?; Shreveport, 1. Second game, Shreve- port 3 Birmingham, ?.
 The First Game.

In this round he yielded ping gles to Fisher, Mc1ver, Clarke and Rapp Fishers hit was followed by sacri- flee. and the three remaining follow ing each other in regular succession. In spite of this fact. but one run count ed, Fish CTS. Good luck saved the day for the Barons. Molesworth caught McIver at the plate attempting to score on Clarke's hit, and caught Clarke at the plate when he attempted 10 cross the sacred portal on Ropp's bingle.
 The Barous tied the score in the sixth. Gardner led off with 4 hit. was sacri- feed, took third on an infeld out. and came home when Latimer bingled juici- ly over third.
 In the eighth, the winning run count ed. Walters was hit with the ball. and stole second. Alcock stung one to second and Lewee booted it with con siderable force. Walters crossed the pan, and the game was won.
 As an Illustration of Hlcl<man's good work. the second inning is cited Meek led off with a single. Gardner struck out. Walters followed with d bingle, and Alcock was passed The side was retired, however, when Latimer and Ragan famed in succession.
 The Other Game.
 Molesworth started the second game with a double to center. He was riheed to third, and scored on Meek's hit.
 This lead was oVertaken in the third. Benson singled over third. and Daley's double to right scored him.
 The Barons surged ahead in the fifth. Molesworth was walked was sacrificed, and brought home hy smiths luscious hit to right.
 Things were then quite serene But Ragan para chuted" in the next inning. Lewee, McIver and Clarke singled in succession to the infield. and Ragan was wholly incompetent to handle the bunts that rained about him. Rapp, followed with the fourth hit, cleared the bases with a double to center. King led off with a single in the ninth, sacrificed, and brought home on Fish er's triple to left.
