stein, Joseph Rickert and Philip Nadeau are about to get the pink slip.
 These three men have been the stars in their class ever since they have been in the league.
 Their names have been sun everywhere in the south. and as drawing cards they have caused many thousands to plunk down their hard-earned halves.
 Rickert has been known as the leagues most spectacular fielder, in both fielding and throwing, and the leagues fastest base runner.
 Breitenstein has been known from time immemrrial as the best and foxiest pitcher in minor league baseball. Stars have "come and went" but Breitensteln has gone on and on and on.
 Nadeau for two or three years has been one of the heaviest swatters in the league. His fame has reached many corners of the globe. There's no telling how many fences he has broken down.
 But new broom sweeps clean.
 Sometimes even stars get rusty and sometimes dissatisfied.
 While the usefulness of Breitenstein, Rickert and Nadeau is not at an end, the manager no doubt figures that others can do better work for him.
 In Breitenstein's case-lf Manager Frank intends to replace him--lt should not be figured that he Is going to be un- conditionaly released from the club. If ne does not remain active member of the pitching staff, Manager Frank will kepe him right where he can get at him when he gets right.
 Ton can't convince Manager Frank nor many real fans that Brett" is good no longer. Manager Frank believes the grand old man" will pitch as good bal as ever by the middle of the sum mer.
 The chances are he'll find some way to lay Breitenstein off until that time, authough he cannot do so without re- sorting to some of Billy Smiths tricks. Inasmuch as Smith, Dobbs. ct al., are daily violating the leagues laws, and are being supported by the president of the association, 1t would not be amlss to harness him and let the others run free.-New Orleans Item

Cotton outlook Gloomy.

Athens, June 2.-(Special. )-Reports from all parts of the county today. brought Tn by the leading farmers, show the crop prospect the worst in the history of the country.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Lister should make this club a good man. Birmingham doesn't need him with Meek on the job, but so far as playing the game Is concerned, many ball players place Lister above the demon Meek, who hit over 300 last season. Out on the coast he was regarded as one of the best men in that territory. which is too for away for us to say just how good that makes him--but you can dig up the dope and figure 1t out for yourself, if this tip doesn't carry far enough.-Nashville Tennessean.
 To part with Lister causes local fars sincere regret. He is a splendid fielder, and no mean hitter as his work on sev- eral occasions indicates. In addition he is one of the best fellows of the local bunch That success may accompany him, Is the unanimous wish of the people in Birmingham.

Frank Smith Story.

Frank Smith, the big Birmingham pitcher was not worked in a single game last season. When Birmingham 'felt for Smith this year. however, Cosmiskey gave the local directors the merriest Ina, hal" imaginable It Is said that smith was not used last season because he had had some words with the catchers, in which he had boasted that none of them could hold him. This ill feeling, so goes the narrative has been dissipated now however, and Smith is working regularly, doing finely

Who Is Discharged?

Just whom Frank has fired is un- known, although rumor has 1t that Rick ert has been passed the pink slip. It ic reported, too, that Nadeau will be sent across the border. and that Breitenstein will have his official head severed. How ever, ali this Is very doubtful, and Frank will say nothing.

 The game will be pitched by Turner for Birmingham and Manuel, most prob ably, for New Orleans. Matthews will doubtless catch Moxie.

 gotten.

Graduates from Dixie, with a rush have 1eaped to the front this season in tho big leagues. This year, indeed, southern CTS have assumed rank of especial prom thence. This is exceptionally true con- cerning the pitchers.
 Frank Smith, the old Birmingham pitcher, is doing excellent work this season for the Chicago White Sox. In addition to excellent twlrllng, he is lead ing the American league with the willow. Lew Moren, formerly with Atlanta, is pitching magnificent ball for the Phila- delphia Nationals, his recent three-hit victory over the New York Giants, prov ing his ability to deliver the goods.
 Dygert Starring.
 Dygert the spitball star of the old Pel- jean camp is a bright particular star with the Philadelphia Americans, and Is ranking with Bender, Coombs, Plank and the balance of that company.
 For Washington, c. Smith, the former Atlanta peach, is pitching good ball, but finds it difficult to win with the bum aggregation that Is behind him. Last Saturday he clearly outpitched Al Orth of the New York Highlanders, and lost his game only through four rotten errors.
 Henley, Fucker, Mcintyre.
 Henley, Fucker and Mcintyre, three Southern league graduates, comprise the backbone of the Brooklyn pitching staff. Were this trio twirling for any other aggregation, they would be considered stars of the right royal twinkle. Henley recently pitched a fourteen inning game against Boston. winning out, having al- lowed the Beaneaters but three little hits.
 Brady is doing excellent work for Pitts burg. This youngster, as is remembered, did excellent work for Little Rock last season. and had the Travellers been up in the gallery then, he would have starred as one of the best In Dixie.
