TRAVELLERS LOOK
 STRONG ENOUGH

Little Rock, April 6.-(Special. .)-With the Southern league season but ten days away from it's opening, Manager Mike Finn still has a delicate operation to perform in the way of looping off un- necessary members of the Little Rock squad.
 By slow process of elimination, Finn has sifted his team down to a basis that permits guessing as to the lineup and at present it looks like this:
 Catchers, Bob Wood, Claude Stark: pitchers, Hart, Eyler, Robertson, Con nolly Walters; first base. Connors; sec ond base, Page; shortstop, East or Man lon; third base, Hess; outfielders Thiel, Speaker, Drake; utility D. Stark.
 Manager Finn himself is silent regard ing the ultimate selection of a team to represent Little Rock in Southern league struggles. He is willing to name the catchers and three or four pitchers. first baseman, third baseman and two out fielders-Wood and c. Stark, Hart, Eyler. Walters. Connors, Hess, Speaker Thiel and Drake.

FROM DOUGLASS
 NOTHING ELSE FOR BARONS

Bill says he won't come. He is deter mined that Little Rock shall not realize a cent from his . sale to. Birmingham. There is very little love, it is evident, be- tween the Travellers and Douglass.
 As is known. when Douglass notified Manager Vaughn some time ago that he would not report, Manager Vaughn wrote him a letter asking for his specific req sons.
 Bills answer came yesterday. Little Rock refuses to pay me s25o for my stock" he replied. "and I won't report.
 My only regret is that my delay has hindered you from getting a good man to assist Raub in the catching. Give my re- gards to all the fellows and express to

the ilmit-hIteen men. As concerns the pitchers -lanager VaugAn is faced by a grave proposition. Of the six regulars, one must go. The manager will have to worry not little before handing out the inflated pink slip.
 Hans Wagner. so the Pittsburg Dis patch, in the first column of its front page, predicts will after all play with the Pirates this season.
 The article states if "Honus Is not in the first lineup he will have signed his contract before the season has ad- yanced two weeks.
 If this prediction is true Hans was probably attempting to find out just how popular he was He discovered that in Pittsburg he makes Teddy Roosevelt look like common man. in the eyes of the oil trust.
 The statement made in The Age-Herald yesterday to the effect that insurance companies will not insure baseball play CTS against accident was found to be untrue.
 Several members of the Birmingham team are insured against accident in the Interstate Health and Accident com pany, a local concern.
 As far as can be learned this company is the only one assuming such risks, anu goes to prove that Birmingham, in this one other respect, also leads the world.
 Catcher Davidson, with the Maps, is paying teller of the First National bank of Cleveland.
 He is taking a vacation and, incident ally trying to make good with the Cleve- flanders. If he fails he again assumes the responsibility of handing out cash from the big banks windows.
 He is too light for major leaguers, however, in spite of his ability.
 It is being intimated from Little Rock that Mique Finn, having deposited $400 with President Kavanaugh, is prepared to make fight for the possession of Outfielder Collins, on whom Manager Smith of Atlanta asked for waivers.
 Before requesting waivers, however, Smith, it is said, sold the player out of the league. Finn intimates that he will make it hot for the Atlanta mogul for an alleged violation of the leagues laws and regulations.
 All of which reminds that while Catch CT Philben, for some reasons, is to be criticised for jumping Atlanta for others, he should not be blamed. He took the most natural step. How would you feel forced to remain in Atlanta for five months!

STORIES OF THE
 MISSING BARONS

Contrary to his promise, Patsy Donovan did not leave pitcher in Birmingham. This was iGc to the fact that he desires to give Wilhelm a thorough trial. and Birmingham did not desire any of his lesser lights. Donovan believes that Will helm will make good.
 Harry Meyers, the Cotton States first baseman whom Manager Vaughn has drafted and ordered to Birmingham, wrote yesterday that he would arrive next week. He states that his throwing hand Is injured at the present time, but that it will be in shape he thinks. in an- other week. He will be given an oppor- tunity to show his worth.
 It is very probable that Mack Robin son, the Cotton States pitcher drafted by Birmingham, has seen an end of his pro- fessional baseball days. As is known, al- though he was Birmingham's property, he signed a Waco, Tex, contract When Waco was informed that he was Blr- mingham's man they immediately turned him free. Manager Vaughn then instruct ed Robinson to report at once or submit to fine of S10o. He has not reported and yesterday pitched a game for Tulane against Carlos Smiths Mississippi college team and lost it. It is probable that Rob- inson is too light for Birmingham.
 On account of Bill Douglass obstinacy and his grudge against Little Rock, Bir- mingham is still shy catcher. Manager Vaughn is hot on the trail of another, however, and expects to land one in a very short time. The fans believe that Bill will eventually come around.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-07

Among the spectators of yesterdays game were Mr. and Mrs. Charles w. Somers MT Somers is president of and one of the largest stockholders in the Cleveland club.
 As stated elsewhere, Bill Bernhard, for merly a Cleveland pitcher, and now man. ager of the Nashville team of the South ern league, saw the battle between the Barons and hs former team mates yes terday afternoon.
 Steve Reagan, the Baron rghtfielder, had a big day yesterday. On the Cleve- land team are three old Toledo players Littimore, Crech and Outfielder Clark. These men were well acquainted, too, with Gene Demont and Anthony Rob ertaille.
 Sporting Editors Edwards and Holmes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and Leader. respectively. were guests of the press box yesterday afternoon
 These clever writers declare that bill Barnhard has several years more of good service in his right wing, and they ex- pect him to win many games in the Southern league this season. They state. too, that Pitcher Ryan of the Peiicans is a conner, and prophecy that he wlll not remain in Dixie more than one sea- son.
 Centerfielder Birmingham-how familiar that name sounds-joined the Cleveland CTS last year. He was formerly a stu dent at Cornell, and in addILIon to being a splendid baseball player, was a Star half-bach on the football team.
 He is a clean-cut fellow of striking appearance Bajoie states that he is marvellous outfielder, too.
 The season of the South Atlantic league opened yesterday afternoon with games at Augusta and Jacksonvnie.
 The Sally" league plays excellent base ball, as the opening game between Jack sonVille and Savannah would indicate.
 Out of this little circuit many stars are graduated to twinkle in the Southern and major leagues. The Sally league is in excellent shape, financially, and the enthusiasm of the fans is not second to that of any other company.
 The South Atlantic schedule provides. for 120 games.
 The opening of the Southern league season is but one day and one week off. It Is very probable that Manager Vaughn will keep all men at present signed until some days after the open ing.
 He has until May 15 to cut down to

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The large leaguers under Lajoie scored first in the initial chapter on account of over-politeness of Lord Delehanty and Dundon, who all three raced for Lajoie' s rainbow after Bradleys double, but were coy about making a catch. A field cap- tain would have called for one of the men to take the ball and it would have been an easy out. The Pelicans have no field captain when Harry Matthews isn't working. Del was crazy afterwards be- cause he didn't try for the skier.-New Orleans Pfcayune.
 As to the pitchers, 1t is possible that they, too, have not had time to get into the best shape, but the showing of the entire lot up to the preset time has been only mediocre Hickman seems to be the best of the lot. Fisher is a fixture. of course Bryant will go. Torrey. Gaskil and Becker seemed to be pretty well bunched.-Mobile Herald.
 You may rest assured that Hickman will deliver the goods
 As We have said before, we do not be- lieve that Mobile stands show of land ing the rag, but the local team is strong enough to give any in the league good, hard fight, and it is the pleasure of see- ing them fight that draws us to the grounds, and not the honor to be derived from a victory.-Mobe Herald
 Here's an honest confession for yoE.
 Within the memory of the oldest in- habitant, Philbin is the first man to jump local team. It is not probable that his passing will be regretted, unless by those who had an idea that he would be- come satisfied. The best performer in the business is not worth much to a club when he is at outs with it, the town and so forth. Philbin could never have given his true worth to the Atlanta team unless he was perfectly satisfied with his sur roundings.
 Outfelder Collins, who refused to re- port to Little Rock, on Finn's refusal to waive. has gone to his home in Spring field, O., so it was learned last night. He is another, unless he makes up with Lit tie Rock. who will not work in the organ ized game this season.-Atlanta Consti- tuition.
 The report comes from Birmingham that Buttermlk Meek is off on his field ing this year, but the Brooklyn players who saw him work say they could detect nothing wrong with him. Before they looked the Barons over they, too, heard that Meek was mighty feeble, but they  glimpse of him in action.-Atlanta Consti- tuition.
 He can not pay young players what they are worth to him simply because he is paynig old men more than their actual worth. q
 T would like for you to show me- said one of the under-paid "second fiddles' on the Pelican team to Sporting Chat, 'where those big league fellows have anything on us. We play the game just like they do. We haven't the regulations, but In time some of us will be as widely known as these men Frank has brought down here. Of course the team needs an old head to steady it, but why should Manager Frank bring highly paid big league cast-offs here to deprive us of what is coming to us in accordance with our ability ?'-New Orleans Item.

that the difficulty originated, declares that he hopes to return to Birmingham next spring and for many succeeding springs.
 It was indicated that unless Harris dropped his suits the Cubs would not again come to Birmingham. Manager Vaughn did not comment on the letter.
 Harris suits are based on an assault made on him by Howard Steinfeldt and other Chicago players during one of the games which the Cubs played against tine Barons.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-07
