opening game may be played beneath the
shadow of the slagpile. In the proposed
schedule Birmingham opens the season
in Mas hYille.
There are four teams of the first di-
vision, Birmingham, Memphis. Atlanta
and New Orleans. Birmingham alone
opens on foreign territory. 1t might be
said, and doubtless will be. that Biz
mingham opened al home last year. At
lanta did too. 1t might be said that for
the boosting of the game in Nashville,
the season should be started there. True,
but why was Birmingham carried to that
city, and Atlanta left at home?
IN other words, the fans here believe
that because Birmingham Won the pen
nant, and because 1t was the intention to
give that banner to the breeze on the
day of the opening. birmingham should
be given more consideration than any
other club II this is not true, wherefore
all this gossip about a pennant and the
glory of winning it? AS soon as man
agements rob baseball Of it's sentimental
element then the game loses its prestige.
In fact. baseball is the only business and
money making proposition where sent-
ment cuts any figure whatever. Senti-
ment In baseball is baseball itself; its
very bone and sinew.

Is there a chance that Billy Campbell
will wear a Baron uniform this season?
This is the question that is agitating
the minds of the fans just at present. 1t
is argued that with Billy Campbell, the
Baron auartette of twirlers would be more
effective even than last year and that
another pennant would be practically as
sured.
Billy was brought into greatness be-
meath the shadow of the slagpile, and
though since then his career has been
rather checkered, he is still invaluable.
Furthermore, the rumor has reached Biz

Campbell, as the old fan remembers,

tells stories of the southpaw's prowess,
and if it were known that Billy was
coming again to twirl for Birmingham,
10y would be unbounded.
