Records ShoU Fast All
 Around Work of Climber s

The Climber twins--Joe Pepee and Ed Greminger-are leading the batting ping five ciouts during the three Bir- mingham games. a
 The stick work of Ryan's people dur ing the first three games of the season ciouting abilities, and if they hold this record the Climbers will be one of the heaviest hitting asgregations in this ieague. During the three games they nave made twelve runs and twenty three hits. average of four runs and nearly eight hits a game. while Bir- mingham tore of only thirteen hits and four runs, little over one run and not quite i've hits game.
 The Bronx Kid has one two-bagger and four singles. while Big Ed has Eles. Greminger was at bat two more times than Pepee. however, making the batting average of the big one eighty the fast. hard hitting shortstop.
 Henline. Persons and Perry each have three hits. but Persons has the highest average. for he was at bat two than Perry. One of Persons's hits was three-baRger and two of Hen lines were a three-bagger and two ba bbagger. Spice shannon got two Van Anda leads the pitchers in hit- ting; with one hit in his one game. o., W;th ot the exception of his home run
 
 ter didn't get hit during the three games. but from the manner in which the big first sacker Is yielding the big stick. he will soon be up among the leaders of the league in batting.
 In fielding. the team shows up fully as well as with the stick, and it Is here that the Moose Is making an arc light look like a glow worm. He. has thirty-four chances at first base, two of them assists. with out an error.
 Henline and Ryan have. clean slates. one of Ryan's nine chances being that superb throw from center field to the plate. completing about the fastest double ever seen on local ball field. Perry has ten chances and one. error at second base Greminger eight chances and one error at third. and Pepee sixteen chances and one error at short.
 The twelve assists of the little fellow were wonderfully fast and if he keeps up this lick. Neal Ball or anybody else will have nothing on him. The one error made by Archie Persons came from an almost impossible chance, but he is playing a fast game at that.
 One of the features of these Birming- ham games was the work sof Spike shannon. It was almost impossible for the Birmingham people to steal on him. and 1t is suicidal for a runner to try to. go from second to third on him.

 Forest Thomas will work the first Nashville game today with Van Anda, Cristall and Helm Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thursday Of course, this may be changed, as Ryan is taking no chances feels that he Is not altogether right. Stackpole's shoulder Is still troubling h.m. but If he is all right, it Is possi- ble that he will pitch one of these Nashville games.
 One of the first things that Stack reach Nashville today will be to hunt up Turkish bath establishrnent. They will use this torridity freely and the changes are that within the next few days both of them will have every bit of the soreness boiled out of them. urday that he was actually. afraid to sit on the bench between innings as he was afraid that he would get so stiff that he couldn't get up again.
 With. tn ese. two exceptions, the men are Tn splendid shape. and while. Bill Bernhard's crowd promises to be a different proposition from Vaughn's aggregation, still they will know that they have been to a ball game before o'clock this evening.
