Young MT. Juul, considered by several fans of the Capital City the best twirler in the league, has, with single excep- ton, fared disastrously at the hands of the Barons.
 In making his debut in the Southern league his hit won game from Rober- taille in Birmingham. Later, however, the Barons encountered him in Mont gomery and knocked him headlong from the field. Again, yesterday, the Barons repeated the dose. and now MT. Juul hardly knows where he stands.
 Mir. Juul is the only sidewheeler in the league against whom the Barons have won the majority of their games. Fritz, Kellum, Castleton, Breitenstein and others have had them on their hips throughout the season, but MT. Juul has proved the exception.
 At that he's a first-rate twirler, and he will make Montgomery valuable man for several seasons to come.
 Frosty Thomas will oppose the Bar ons this afternoon
 The doctor is one of the leagues best, but like MT. Juul, he has failed several times this season to win from the Bar ons
 This afternoon he mounts the slab at his own request.
 T feel first rate," he stated last night to Manager Pro Tenn Greminger, and would like to have crack at these pesky Barons.
 Greminger readily promised that he might exert himself this afternoon, and Thomas went to bed like contented child.
 Henry Meek, however, is of the opin- ion that the Barons will hammer him from the slab this afternoon. Thomas is a good twirler all right enough, stated Henry, but he can't win from Birmingham Watch the game today. We are certain to hammer Frosty all over the lot"
 Manager Molesworth was undecided last night as to whether he would choose Robinson or Robertaille for this after- noon's engagement.
 'sThe choice will fall to the one who appears stronger just before the battle v he stated.
 Lew Walters, generally conceded to be the best fielding second sacker Tn the league has been thrown out at the plate this season more than any other man.
 Thrice was the silent one" slaugh- tered at the scoring point in Nashville.
 Finally Lew could stand it no longer, and quarreled with the umpire some say that Lew even went so far as 10 sprinkle a few grains of sand down car penter's back Lew was benched ana Meek took his place at the keystone.
 Lew and Carpenter made up while coming to Birmingham Thursday morn ing, however. The players and the um- pire had a happy mornings ride, no one being able to sleep for the racket or the Dumping cars, and the whistling Of the winds. Everybody arrived in Birmingham In i .t..I or l. pire soIemnly shaking hands severai times before reluctantly separating for thelr respective places of residence. Carlos Smith was one of the merrles' i of the Barons on returning to Birmihs ham. Carlos played exceptionally well m Nashville, and, in addition, hit the pai' over the fence for new hat. So it naturally followed that the elon' gated Missssippian was bubbling over, Nashville is a pretty good piace' stated Smith, They are having muc, fun just at the present time Basepaii ] rules the day in Nashville. At the sasnes everybody in town sits about the ne'u and roots from the opening to the ciosils of the engagement.
