Eugene De Montreville, commonly known by the shorter and more euphonius Gene De Mont, is a Baron.
 De Mont Is well known Tn Dixie. Season before last he was the brilliant second baseman of the Atlanta Crackers, and served, too, that year, as captain of the team.
 He was bought yesterday morning by the Birmingham club from Manager Ar mour of Toledo. What amount was paid for the player is not made known.
 Concerning the purchase of De Mont the following special from Toledo was received last night:
 Toledo, O., May 27-(Special.)- )-Manager Harry Vaughn of the Birmingham team of the Southern league Is in Cincinnati tonight with Eugene De Montreville, for merly second baseman of the Toledo team

De Wontrebize Bonght from Toledo
 WHY Play Short fov Birmingham

Locally, however, it is figured that De Montreville will be played at short. There is no doubt but that he will be a capital player. one taking rank with anything in Dixie.
 It is figured, too, that the signing of this player means the release not only of Montgomery, but Oyler, too. The team, most probably will be cut down to thir- teen men in order that the salary limit might not be broken.
 Alcock, most probably, will be retained as regular third baseman. Captain Molers- worth stated yesterday that he thought Alcock would make a first rate infelder after this seasons experience. It is cer- tainty, at any rate, that Alcock will be played at third until other arrangements can be made. If he holds his head oS the third corner no other arrangements will be necessary.

 It would be exceedingly sad if 1t be- comes necessary to part with Lister AS fielder, there is none better in the league. That he is a good fellow and a hard, conscientious worker, everyone is ready to admit. The fans eriticise his in- ability to hit. But if Lister could hit as hard as 300 this league would not be strong enough to hold him. But Birming- ham Is In need of another catcher Man ager Vaughn wired yesterday afternoon that he had several deals on tap, but whether he meant that one of them h. cluded a catcher is not known He did not ask if Latimer had reported
 Oyler, it is understood, is all out or condition. He went to bed after partic- ipating In the game Saturday. Both his ankles have caved in. and his throwing arm is torn to pieces. It is probable that he will not appear again this season.

Macon, May 2.-(Special.)-The univer- sity of Alabama made its initial appear ance on the local diamond today and shows by far the best college team seen in Macon this season.

In the second inning, Jones knocked home run for Alabama, put after this there was nothing doing for either side till the eighth, when Mercer scored on the squeeze" play. Neither team was able to score after this until the eleventh when Alabama scored four runs on hit, an error, blunt ana wild pitch. The stars of the day were Noojln at first. and Jones at third.

Roy Montgomery, manager of Jackson. Cotton States league.
 This is the dope. The offer was made yesterday, and 1t is thought that Mont gomery will accept.
 Before someone asked the question, "Who will be released?" waivers had been requested on Roy Montgomery. Waivers were received from all managers of the league.
 An effort was then made to find q berth for the popular Baron, and these eff forts resulted in the offer of the man. ager's berth.
 There is the best of feeling between Montgomery and the Birmingham club. Montgomery, in spite of his wonderful hit ting yesterday afternoon, Is suffering greatly from rheumatism, and his throw ing is seriously impaired. His eyes, on account of typhoid fever, have been out

of gear, with the exception of the few moments yesterday afternoon, all the sea- son. He realizes this, and does not hold a grudge because it was thought neces- sary to fill his place with stronger man.
 It is understood that the deal between Montgomery and Jackson has not been closed as yet. However, Montgomery will make his final answer today. The odds are greatly in favor of his accepting the new berth.
 While nothing was said, 1t was generally understood that the agreement between Birmingham and Nashville concerning the Latirner deal was that the catcher would be purchased straight out or would be taken in exchange for First Baseman Lister.
 Further than this, nothing has occurred or been agreed upon. Latimer, at this writing, has not signed local contract, and whether he will or not cannot be pos itively stated. President Baugh stated

 What are the compaDy's income and operating expense?
 What other sources of water supply are there avaIable?Whst would be the cost Of their development and operation? Could they be secured in such way lhat all she elsy's interests would be safe, certain and without complications of 8 dlsad7autageous character?

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Commercial Club Will Cooperate
With County in the Matter,

The Norfolk Commercial club will
cooperate with the county in improv-
ing the country roads leading into
Norfolk. AT the Tuesday morning
meeting of the directors, an agree
ment was made with County Commits
sioner Taft, whereby the club agrees
to furnish a man and team to operate
light weight road grader on the
country roads leading into Norfolk.
The road grader which Mr.. Taft has
in mind is light machine capable of
covering a considerable stretch of
road in day and suited to leveling
up and smoothing a hard rutted coun.
try road. The King log drag, which
the new road machine would supple
ment, is only adapted for road.making
Following a rain when the roads are
still soft. The new machine would
be expected to maintain good roads
running into Norfolk from a radius of
from five to eight miles.
Directors Mathewson, Butterfield.
Mayer, Degner and Witzigman were
present at the meeting.
