Birmingham at Atlanta.
 New Orleans at Little Rock.
 Montgomery at Nashville.
 Memphis at Shreveport.
 Harry Vaughn and the Barons spent Sunday in Birmingham
 At o'clock this morning they take train for the land of the Boosters. and The Barons return to Birmingham Fri day and meet the Montgomery Pretzels, with whom they broke even down on the Alabama last week
 ne Barons were not depressed, and had no reason to be, on account of the fact that they did not take the entire quartette of games played in Montgom- cry last week. Breaking even on the road is always good, and the Barons won two of the games played.
 Manager Vaughn hopes to fare as we'll, if not better, in Atlanta As stated, four games will be played The Atlanta Coasters will be after the Baron scalp, for In the games already played between the two aggregations the locals have fared better than their rivals.
 Everything All Right.
 Everything is all right said Man ager Vaughn. "The team is in good shape We did we'll enough in Mont gomery, but should have won at least three of the games played. Turner's s game was lost on Alcock's errors, tech nically, but would never have gone astray had Perry not run over Walters, attempting to field the ball hit to sec ond by Ratchford. Molesworth has pro tested the game, and it will likely be called up at the next meeting of the league
 Yesterdays game went the way of the roses because Wilhelm was hit hard There were times when the Barons evened up the scores, but then the Pret- gels would climb up to the stick and smash one safe. They had a hitting streak and Waddell, in his primest days, could not have stopped them.'
 Wilhelm laughed when the game was mentioned to him. You should have seen those fellows. They hit everything. I h. my usual round of curves, and fast ones, but none got over the plate safe ly"
 Manager Vaughn considers the infield greatly strengthened since Oyler's return to the game. He did not make any state- ment relative to Meek's continued ab- sence from play, but it Is probable that the other catcher will relieve Garvin this week. Every possible hit, the manager realizes, will be needed in Atlanta.
 "Gineer" Clark Opens.
 The series with Atlanta will probably be opened by Ginger Clark Clark won the opener from Montgomery and pitched the last inning of Saturdays s game. He feels all to the good, however and will go to the slab this afternoon with the rarest assortment of curves and benders. Ragan pitches tomorrow, and Atlanta has always been fairly easy for Birmingham's "Rube" Wadder Turner works in the third game and Wilhelm pitches the fourth. It is not improbable that Birmingham wins three of the four games. although such good fortune sell dom ecmes when Atlanta at home is dealt with. Nashville broke even with the Boosters, however, and Birmingham should do better than the Dobbers.
 There is quite a change on the check erboasd this morning. The Pelcans, after having been repeatedly beaten by the Travellers and the Memphii take the road for Little Rock. Memphis enters Shreve- port for series and Montgomery takes the paths for twenty-odd games, stopping this afternoon in Nashville.
 West Looms Up,
 The average Tan has not taken into con- sideration the fact that next week the Barons enter the west for the first time this season. When a team leaves it's subdivision the fans hold their breath until it returns. This season. however, the west does not offer such stiff proposi- tions as in other years. Little Rock has loomed up decidedly the strongest aggre- gation of the wild and wooly." New Orleans is not very hard. even on home grounds, and Shreveport did not make good until the coming of the last few days Memphis has no Liebhardt this year.
 However. before going west the Barons return home for four games. It is al- most certain that the Barons will leave for the sixteen western games with per centage some better than 500-will be in the first division, in other words. Att lanta should drop two games to the To- calls, and Montgomery will lose three. It is too much to expect the Barons to win the entire quartette from the Sleep CTS"
 Therefore, if the Barons do we'll in the west the bad start will have been over come to q certain extent and a new start for the pennant will be in order The east is not at all afraid of the west when the clubs of that section put their faces in the sunshine.
