 70 Birmingham Again
DOPE ON THE VISITORS, TOUCH. ING MEN, MATTERS AND RU- MOR-FRANk GETS ROASTED AT HOME AND ABROAD.

The Pelicans who have the distinction of having won the first series on local grounds in two years, are among us again.
 Since here last, Charlie Frank, manager of the visiting crew, has gone through fire and birthstone. Frank has been crit icized brutally for years and years but never before in memory did the fans and seribes of New Orleans go against the chubby Dutch" This season. however, because Frank has no chance to finish higher than fourth place, the scribes of New Orleans are calling for the head of the fat Dutchman, and calling him names besides. The seribes of New Orleans are a pitiable set. however. and what they say, because of that fact, cuts very little Ice. The man who roasts the hardest today will be the most enthusiastic boos- ter tomorrow.
 Since defeating us on the second visit to Birmingham, Frank has made few changes in his lineup Sabrie Is still playing first, Gatins is on second, Atz at short and Cross at third. Matthews and Stratton are doing the catching, and Guese, Manuel, Phillips, Fritz and Brett ensten are the pitchers. The bulk of the road work Is done by Manuel, Fritz and Phillips, Frank being afraid to risk Guese away from home. Breitenstein, as is known. is a back number although about twice in the season he is able to get through a game creditably. He IS playing in the outfield, where his hitting makes him valuable. Manning and Gas ton are covering the other gardens. Rick ert and Nadeau are back numbers, the latter playing at present with Montgom- cry. Rickert and Guese haven't played In Birmingham this season.
 Since Frank was last in the Magic City he has been the subject of much gossip. in addition to receiving the roasts Of his own scribes down in New Orleans. It has been reported that he will not manage New Orleans another season. but that ne will be transferred to Montgomery, Lava Cross succeeding him at the Crescent City Another rumor Is to the erect that Frank will remain at New Orleans. just to show the scrbes who have roasted him unmercifully that he can do so, and that Cross will be placed in Memphis. This of course is the height of the ridiculous, as Frank has just about as much weight with the Memphis management as he has In Birmingham.
 In reference to this matter, however, while 1t is true that Frank Is mtserably unpopular in New Orleans at present. the indications are that he will remain Tn that city another season. and that Lave Cross will be with him, that Is. unless Lave's horrible slump in batting can long CT be tolerated.
 "Gold Brick Matthews is with the Nis- itors still Matthews gets his hit here with a deal of regularity. Ills former team mates lop them over when the ex- Baron faces the back fence. and an in- fant could knock the cover off them

SARATOGA FALLS
 TO DRAW SOCIETY
PLENTY OF RACING BUT LITTLE SOCIAL PLUN01NG-"BET YOU A MELLOW HEARD NO MORE SENTIMENT WANEs.

Saratoga. September 1.-The Saratoga
 season is over and while it was a sue cess from racing point of view. it can- not be said that it came up to the stand- ard of other years, socially speaking.
 There is no absence of racing folks, bat such cannot be said of the prominent so- cial lights. who always made 1t their business to spend at least a portion of the month Of August at Sara toga. At no better place could this be noted than at the clubhouse in tho afternoon and canhelds nights. Last year the club house balcony was crowded to an uncom- fortable degree. while tables after the races at Canfield's were at a premium and had to De reserved in advance. Things are quite different this year. No one ex- perieneed any trouble in finding seats on the clubhouse piazza during the run hing of the races. willie there were many vacant tables at Canfield's In the evening. The villagers also complain of the ab- sence of the social horde. Cottages which were eagerly engaged at s1oO0 for the season In 1906 went begging for half that amount this year, and even with these prices prevailing many Of the more pre- tentious cottages remained dark. I knew of one instance where a small place, rented without difficulty last year for s]0o, was on the market this year at one-half the price with no takers. Of course, there is a reason for the absence of Saratoga former wealthy visitors. The uncertdu- ties at present prevailing in Wall street, coupled with the disastrous slump Tn stocks last March. explain It all. Most of the rich men do not feel able to spend two three thousands dollars for Il months recreation at the Spa (for that's what It costs to run f1rst-class estao lishmenD, so they gave it out that the evil times in New Yorl<s big financial centers require their presence on the scene to protect their interests. This might be true or not, but many per sons who have been coming here for years feel that 1t Is the beginning of the end of Saratoga's reputation as recrea- ton place for wealthy society people.

HOW GREAT PLAYERS COME IN. TO xlSTENcE-SoME STUM. BLEED UPON, OTHERS DEVELOP. ED AND OTHERS "HlRED.y

There are three ways. and only three to get a star, baseball player in Dixie to deye1ope him. to accidentally find him among brush leagues, and to obtain his services as a product "farmedp out by the big leagues.
 To develope a ball player, time is required. Tn here are many of the pres ent members of the Southern league who were developed in the south from raw material. and who today are the equal of the stars Harmed" out by the majors. Finding stars among the brushes is exceedingly hard Niles was an example. He came unheralded. and unheard of. He played in Birmingham part of one season, and since has starred with the majors. But finding men like Niles is uncommon. A great many valuable men come from the 1ft- tie leagues. but these seldom star until carried through a process of develop ment
 There are some players who make their appearance and then spring into greatness within the limit of a night. These are invariably the "farmedv pro- uhS'S, hieh III "hoh the ndJOrS nave great confidence. and who, they believe, will be greatly benefited by a seasons experience in fast minor league circles. There is another reason for the ma jors being willing to farm" them. They can generally rent a man a sea son for 5000, a man whose services, at the time of his hiring out are not needed.
 There are numerous illustrations of this class. Roy Castleton. Becker, Pas kert of Atlanta; Tom Hughes of At lanta's last seasons aggregation; Catcher Seabaugh of Montgomery and numerous others.
 Atlanta gets more of these recruits than any other member of the Southern circuit. Atlanta's example Is worthy of imitation. It Is expensive somewhat but while several miscues in this pro cess oceur-Dyer of Atlanta, Baxter of Montgomery, Purdue of Nashville, etc. serving as examples, one of two real, valuable stars are leased. One or two real stars in addition to the ones al- ready developed and the fairly worthy products from the brushes, serves tb make up teams that strive annually for the pennant.
 Now Chicago of the National league will be In Birmingham next spring. There is no doubt in the world but that Charles Murphy would willingly dis pose of some pitcher or infelder, in exchange for practice grounds. whose services would aid in sh owing Birming ham to the front again.

 After which outburst of patriotic en- thuslasm, it Is solemnly announced that at West End Park today. two games will be played between the Barons and the Pelicans.
 Games? Yes. games
 The Barons will do their best to win
 This information was gleaned last night. Every player was questioned. Every player is glad to get home. and will do his best. After all, Birmingham is all right" they said in chorus.
 II is Labor Day.
 The schedule calls for two games in Birmingham. Atlanta, Montgomery and Nashville The Pellcans are in Birming- ham. Shreveport is the Crackers oppo- nent. Memphis tackles tho Dobbers, and Little Rock encounters Malarkys bunch Of sleepy Pretzels,

 The first game in Birmingham will be commenced at 1o:30 o'clock this morning. The second will start at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
