ter, probably, had Lew Walters been on
second and Roy Montgomery third.
AS it is, however. they have done well
enough. The fans must bear in mind
that the games are practice games, only,
and that the kinks have not as yet been
removed from the arms of the players.
Note the Cubs, champions of the Ma
tional league. Do they play better ball
than do the Barons. considering the
classes of the two? Certainly not. Then
why under the sun can't the fans be
satisfied. Birmingham has a good team,
and the chances are that the flag will
wave another season from the center of
this burg of smoke.
The Kisses of the fans were directed
yesterday towards Pitcher Bruner Now,
candidly, there is very strong prob
ability that Bruner will not make good.
1t does not appeu- at this time that he
has anything that makes him worthy
candidate for local honors. In addition,
he is trifie slow and listless.
However, give the boy chance. There
was absolutely no reason for the dem
onstration yesterday. The fans should
remember that THESE games are praetlce
games, primarily arranged in order that
both teams may be strong and formid
able when the season ripens. The cries
to remove Bruner from the box were alb
surd Vaughn was giving him trial.
Wake up. Do you suppose that either
management cares especially for the VIC
tory? II the victory was the object,
Vaughn would have pitched either Ra-
gan, Clark or Wilhelm yesterday, and
Chance would have worked Brown. There
is absolutely no necessity of sitting on
a human being when he is under fire,
or down.
The fans took to Turner The lad gives
promise beyond DOUBT But do not be-

dell, or even "Rube" Zeller. He is

has imperfections, however and before

more errors last season than did the

Has Not Been Defeated.

Has Not Been Defeated.
Notwithstanding the claims made by
three members of the Birmingham Col
lege team, the association has not been
defeated. Although that team is made
up of good players. 1t is merely the
champion of the Junior league, and it is
not in the class with the association.
The truth of the Wednesday night in
c!dent at the Athletic club is that the
Owentor boys and the association first
team went over to the Athletic club for
a practice game, in order that the asso-
citation team might become acquainted
with the goals preparatory to the game
tonight.
In the first place, there was nothing
official about the game. Professor Brown
of the Young Mems Christian association
said last night that there was no score
Keeper whatever. The players merely
went out on the floor with picked-up
referee. who did not understand the
game, TO practice.
Further than this the Birmingham col
lege did rot have representative who
was not in the game. while there were
a number of neutral spectators. When
the game was finished no mention was
made Of any victory, but later three young
men, representing themselves as students
of the Birmingham college, came to The
Age-Herald office and reported that they
had wor tile game by score of is to 16.
Do Not Claim Victory.
Yesterday this Information was found
to be ungrounded. While there was no
score kept, even the members of the Bir-
mlngham college team do not now claim
the victory. w. NJ. Cosby, who wit
messed the game, states that he is posi-
tive the association scored the most
points.
The blame for the little fight between
members of the two teams was due to
the negligence of the referee. He did
not understand his business enough to
put an end to continual fouling until the
nerves of all the players had gotten
on edge
Unless the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION team is defeated tonight it will
finish the season without a single blemish
on its record.
For the Athletic club Miss Eula May
Gaudn will act as sponsor, assisted by
three maids, Miss Nellie Gregg. Miss
Lura Truslow and Lucille Davidson. The
spouse. for the Young Mems Christian
association will be Miss Emma Donelson,

best, and because he stands at the bat
and often hits. Oyler, too, got his usual
Texas Lacquer. 1t reminded one of the
beginning of last season. Wordsworth got
his batting eye in order yesterday, and
hit two safe ones out of three trials.
Meek hit ono so hot that it went through
Evers and Slagle, too. Turner handed
one out to the fence, but went out at
third. The double wouldn't stretch. Gard
nor can always be counted on for his
binglet. Smith failed yesterday. Smith
booted hit and was scored on an error.
He hoped, however, that he would make
all that are due him in the practice sea-
son. Smith still retains his good humor
and popularity.
Irwin Wilhelm arrived yesterday. 1t
was natural to see him at the park in
the afternoon. He is in form. and it will
be but a short time until his spit ball
will be swerving over, around and some
where near the plate. Wilhelm is as popu-
lar as any other Baron, and the fans are
winning many a preseason game on ae-
count of the confidence placed in his
wing.
Seated in a row yesterday afternoon
watching the youngsters twirl, were
Raglan. Clark and Wilhelm. Someone, Sec
ing them, remarked that there sat the
best trio doing business in Dixie This
was true too
Walters will probably take part in the
game this afternoon. Lew has been ailing
considerably, but is improving fast. The
fans will be glad when he is again near
the keystone. There is nothing better
than the confidence that one feels when
a red hot grounder is seen skinning in his
direction. On the diamond, Walters is
unequalled in the south. He is the same
every day In the year.
Vaughn has not seen fit to use Roettin-
ger recently. Vaughn likes him, how
ever, and it is but matter Of time be-
fore the youngster will be seen chasing
grounders and grass cutters. Montgonl-
cry is fast regaining his strength. The
fans are anxious to see Montgomery on
the field again. lie is missed at the will

clause is not only loop hole in this
instance. but in all others
Shreveport is very quiet at this time.
1t was always little quiet, like Mont
gomery. The Times. however, holds out
prospects. 1t states that today the men
of Fisher will divide themselves into two
aggregations and play a practice game,
boasting that many hundred people will
see it. All this recalls the complaint of
Harry Matthews last summer. At one
time Matthews, when the Barons were
doomed to defeat, won the game from
Shreveport by driving the ball over the
enclosures fence. His only regret, as he
states, was that to witness this piece of
work, there were seated about the park,
fourteen men, twenty boys, an old woman
and a policeman.
New Orleans. so says the Item, has
made arrangements whereby Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia kth-
letics, will loan Frank Third Baseman
Knight to take the place of Artie Brouth-
ers, pink slipper" The Pcayune, on the
other hand, declares that the trouble be-
tween Frank and Brouthers is now ad-
justed, and that the suspension OF the
latter will last no longer than April 0.
Which of these worthy "contempts' to
believe, is questionable.
The TimesDemocrat contained photo
graph of Harry Matthews yesterday. 1t
was Harry, all right There was an Item,
also, to the effect that First Basemau
Sabre ahd lost his father, and that In
fielder Augudin, the Cuban, had given as
a reason for his inferior work. that his
wife was exceedingly ill., Breezy news

Advantage OF Home Floor.
The advantage of the home gymnasium
floor which favored tho Young Mems
Christian association last week, will be
thrown in the balance for the Athletic
club. That squad has n fine chance of
winning. Morris one of the swlftest play
ers of the club, has just returned from
month out of tho city, and is in fine
shape He will probably play guard with
johnson. While Mckinney has an in
jurad HAND. he will be in the game till
the finish.
On the other hand the association boys
are perfectly confident. They have played
togetner so long and SO much dependence
can be put in each member, that the
team never fears defeat. They are going
in for the victory, but intend to play a
clean game.
