WORK NOT SO BAD
SHOWING or MALARKY's MEN NOT
 UNsATIsFACTORY.
Nothing Improving With Each 1ame and Promises to Get Even Bet- ter - Record of the
 Players.

While Malarky's people lost all or the games in Atlanta, still the show ing on the whole was satisfactory. The team showed lack of work. especially the pitchers, with the exception oI Walker, but when the combination gets to working smoothly, they will make them all hustle to stay In the game. The hitting showed up better during the close of the week and promises to get better as the warm weather opens.
 Billy Nye leads the regulars with three hits in his two games. sam Ap- perious coming second with fon, his in four games and Connors and Ferry each having three hlls. Anuy An@e: son has the unique distinction of bat ting 1000 being only one time at bat and getting his hit Malarky and Walsh each got a hit in the games that they pitched.

0irmingham Fans Are Prepared te Root for Championship Banner -Expiaining Causes of
 Their Downfall.

Birmingham. April 14.-(special)- Despite the showing made by the Bir- Mingham team in Nashville, the fans in Birmingham have lost no faith in the ability of the baseball team wear ing the champion uniforms this year and a cordial reception will be given when the team goes to the field tomor- row to take up the fight against Att Ianta.
 It could not be expected, say the fans that visiting team would come out ahead on a series of games and the fact that all three games played in the Tennessee capital city were lost does not dampen the enthusiasm here. It is predicted that if the weather is favorable here tomorrow there will be more than the average crowd out to see the game. though not as many as were present on the opening day. Ac- cordinE to the dope that is given out today, the Birmingham team is com posed Of a lot of sunshine players. The weather has been such since the open ing that snow balling would almost have been as appropriate as ball play ing.
 The players have been explaining their Nashville defeats to their friends. The fans were all anxious to see the players back and hear their accounts of the three games played in Nash vile.
 well, I don't think the fans of Bir- mingham could have expected to see Birmingham land two out of the three games played in Nashville, though they might have desired it. It is fair to say that they should have had one game at least to bring back and some disappointment exists, but as a whole the team is not going to be ham mered
 While nothing definite is stated there is a belief expressed that Man ager Vaughn will do some straight talking and make some changes on the team. It is not overlooked that the men are hardly in shape but 1t Is also stated that Birmingham should be in condition as much as the other team.
 The first week of the season has not been so lucky with Birmingham but summing up the conditions here it can not yet opened the knocking and that the attendance Is going to be good for some time to come even if the team continues to drop game after game.
 The players wses Sefsat today eNxpla5ning There was no willingness to go on record in the explanation. Some one or two fans who went to Nashville to see the playing shake their heads and players smile and said just q bad break. that's all"
 It Is safe to predict that all teams coming here for the first series will find good patronage in in Birmingham comes warmer the patronage will be more than profitable.

FLOATING BODY FOUND
 PRACTICALLY IDENTIFIED
Corpse Is Probably That of F. O Holmes Instead of H. D. c.
 Roy as at First Supposed.

The body which was found in the river Friday and which was supposed by some to be that of H. D. c. Roy has been accounted for almost beyond any doubt.
 s. G. Storey of 2Ss Jeff Davis House went to the undertaking establish ment of W. H. Tice and stated to the coroner and a newspaper reporter that he was positive that the body was that of one F. c. Holmes who had worked for him for one or two days, in tn ecapacity of carpenter, on some work that he was doing on Randolph street.
 MT. Storey said that the man told him that he was from Richmond. S. c. and had relatives in that town who were well to do, and said he had just come from out west where he had gone to see some of his relatives but had missed them and was now without work and means of support. This was on February 26.
 According to MT. Storey the man was almost continually under the in- fiuence of morphine and his work was so unsatisfactory that MT. Storey could not keep him on his payroll. As he did not wish to turn the man out without money. MT. Storey kept him for several days. MT. Storey's wife was very much dissatisfied and anxious about having a man contin- ually under the influence of morphine in, the house, so, on March Mir. Sto- rey told Holmes that he could not ac- commodate him longer and the man left.
 Since that time MT. Storey has heard nothing further from his former em- ploye. although he has looked high and low
 wben Mfr Storev saw the storv in The Advertiser of the body which had been found in the river he was certain from the description that this was the man who had worked for him and left on March 2. He says the man had a pair of scissors in his pocket and the general description fitted Holmes exactly.

 Six men who were at the boilers at the time, escaped uninjured, although 1t was a miracle that they were not killed outright. It was fortunate that the accident did not occur during the day, as the loss of life would have been heavy. as a large number of men were engaged at work at this point on the day shift.
 The accident will necessitate the furnace shutting down for repairs for nearly a month, as new material will have to be ordered from a distance to make repairs. The accident was caused by too much steam pressure.

BUNCH OF SLUGGERS
BERNIE M'cAY's MEN HARD HIT
 TIERS.
WOOdie Thornton and HIickie O'Brien Head the List-Team Also Shows Well i'm Fielding-PIayers'
 AvcraEes.

Bernie McCay seems to have a pretty good bunch of hitters down in Mobile. enc if they keep up the pace with which they started, they should not ever be in serious trouble this sum- mer. During the three games they have made an average of eight hits and seven runs game, while the team batting average is .250. Woodie Thornton leads the individual batting with, five hits in his three games-one here of one of the fastest outfelders that ever played on Montgomery team are watching his career with in- tereSt.

Bruner Is the only pitcher having a lost game so far, though his control was good, five strikeouts and no bases on balls.
 Star Slab Work.
 Rufus Molly did the star work on the box staff when he shut Gulfport out Saturday with three scattering hits. His control was perfect, not a base on balls being given. and his perform ance was d revelation to the local friends of the Montgomery boy. Ray had pretty poor control in his game, but they could not hit him. Lively lost the game for Bob Gilks in the third inning by his lack of control.
 On the whole, Mobile seems seems to have a pretty fast ball team, and there seems to be no doubt of the fact that they will be heard from this sum- mer This week they are on the road, playing in Columbus Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and in Jackson Thurs day. Friday and Saturday, after which they return to Mobile for six games next week.
