WHAT OTHERS SAY.

It's up to George Rohe to hit like house afire as soon as the season be- gins The silver-tongued boy has made only one hit during the exhibition series and the fans are beginning eto roast him. Rohe is working hard enough to be able to hit 400 He is the first man to appear on the field each day and the last to leave. He says that he is going to work until ne feels that he is in condition to play three double headers without feeling any ill effects, and that he will then be sat isfied-sNew Orleans World.
 Considerable complaint is going the rounds of the fans because they are not allowed to pass out of the park during the game. Several very prominent sup porters of the team, it is said Will Tn a day or so call a meeting at which protest will be made to the new ruling Nashville American.
 You should move your booze wagon fur ther away. The new ruling is all right.
 The Montgomery club has the sporting scribes around the circuit up in the air, and they are all making guesses about how this team will land. Of course, Hugh Roberts of The Age-Herald is putting Montgomery in the second division, but he is the only one He would like to see Montgomery on the bottom. Grantland Rice says we. will land fourth, which is the last of the first division We'll I say we will be higher up than fourth. We have the team.-Montgomery Journal.
 Wrong again. Q Horace! We would like to see Montgomehy do it, but she can't.
 As the lineup stands today the odds are not particularly bright that Atlanta will be headed In the opening series. Only three or four men on the squad are doing any batting to speak of, the bulk of the squad being close around 200 for the ex- hbition campaign, which ends today The nfield now will hardly stack up with Bill Smiths. and about the only hope is that the slabmen will carry the burden for the bunch and save the day. Both Ford andl Castleton are in tip-top form, and these two will look after theN first two gaines. It will take lustier clouting than

At ATLANTA.
rT,ANTA NASHVILLE

The Age-Herald has received the follow ing replies from the several league man. agers asked for statements relative to the prospects of their respective teams:
 It would be foolish for me to make pre- dictions, for there is no way that man. ager can judge of the relative strength of the teams prior to the first several weeks of the regular season.
 To me- the Barons look strong. Unless misfortune come, I predict first division fnish-Harry Vaughn.
 Here follows Charlie Franks telegram:
 "I feel that the Pelicans will be in the
 upper half when the end comes. More
 than that, I will make no predictions.
 T have tried my best to gather an ex-
 cellent team in New Orleans, and whether
 or not I have succeeded remains to be
 seen."
 Hear what Billy Smith says: "To my
 mind the teams are more evenly balanced
 than in several seasons. It would be im-
 possible, therefore, for me to make a
 prediction
 Atlanta will be found fighting for
 honors in the first division, even though it has been practically impossible hereto fore for a pennant winner to repeat" Some say I have underestimated the
 strength of the league, but I do believe that I have as strong an outfit as there is in the league today.
 My men will land in the first division, though I will not say they will win the pennant.-James Ryan.
 I am entirely satisfied with my team, and am sure that Mobile will surprise some of the wise ones this year. I realize that right now the scribes about
 the circuit are rating us rather low. But I am satisfied, and believe that out of the first dozen road games we will land five.-Thomas Fisher.
 Bill Bernhard is conservative. He wires: ''I will not say what my team will do ! until after the conclusion of the season. This is my first year in the south and , I am not aware of what the other teams can do. However, I believe my nine will be able to hold a hand with the best of them.'
 Charlie Babb wires from Memphis Wait , and watch. I never like to predict. My | squad is a good sone, believe, full of en- 1 ergy and hard working.
 i q have been handicapped by bad wealth l er and my pitchers haven't rounded to as 1 fast as I would have liked. With an even | break of luck, however, I hardly believe l I will be left at the post" l I hope the Little Rock people will be as 1 much pleased at the end of the season | as they are now.

.FLEHARTY HAS ARRIVED
 NEW TWIRLER LOOKS GOOD

Earl Fleharty. the new Baron pitcher. arrived yesterday morning on the Ala hama Great Southern from Cincinnati.
 He immediately reported to Manager Vaughn, announcing that he was in good condition.
 The new twirler looks exceedingly good. He is a large man and uses his right wing. Last season with Hutchinson of the Western association, a fast minor league, to which the Barons sold Oyler last season, F'leharty had a great season. winning 2S and losing but 10 games Hutch- inson wanted him again this year, and had Birmingham not stepped in as it did Cincinnati would again have farmed him in his stamping ground
 As is known. Cincinnati reserves the right to purchase him back August 20.

RAIN DAMPENS PENNANT
 MAY POSTPONE HOSTING

Atlanta, April 4.-(Special.) )-Rain is falling tonight and has been pouring all the afternoon, softening the ground at Ponce DeLeon and making exceedingly doubtful the game tomorrow
 Unless the rain stops before morning the opening will have to be postponed.
 The pennant has already arrived and was hoisted for a trial and for photo graphic purposes this afternoon.
 Every arrangement has been made for disposing of an immense number of tickets and all attendance records will be smashed, it is believed, provided the weather permits of play.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-15

the Volunteers have yet shown to over turn either, with Johns and Schopp to fol- low and almost as good.-Nashville Ten nessean.
 Montgomery has Birmingham on the pitching staff. There is no way of getting around this fact In the catching depart ment Montgomery is as strong, but no stronger. On first. Baxter and Meek will fight for honors with the chances in favor of Montgomery's star. On second, Perry is way head and shoulders above Wal ters. Demont is better man with the stick than Pope, but Montgomery's shortstop will make this up with fast work. Greminger is by far better man than Downey at third Houtz. Moles- worth and Reagan are good men in the outfield, but will have to hustle to come up with Henline Ryan and Persons. Talk ing the dope as a guide Montgomery should win from Birmingham, and win easy.-Montgomery Journal.
 o Horace, you grow funnier every day.
 On past performances it cannot be seen by the Montgomery people where the Barons have a chance with the Sena tors. Man for man as they will start off the Montgomery team will have the best of it. Behind the bat Ryan will have Shan non in the opening round, while Birmng- ham will show Raub. Both are new men in this company. Shannons record last year was as follows: Shannon batted .2S1 and lead the Western league in fielding with 1884, while with Des Moines. Raub with the Lancaster Tri-State club batted .240 and fielded 96S. Robertaille will prob ably pitch for Birmingham, while Stack pole is slated to serve 'em for Montgom- cry in Wednesdays game. In the Amer ican association Robertaille won 21 and lost IA last year, while Stackpole won 16 and lost in the Connecticut and vir- ginia leagues. Robertaille was travelling in the better class, but the fact that Stackpole Is going up and Robertaille is not, shows that the Montgomery twirler has got some goods well thought off, Montgomery Times.
 If the fans could read the comparison in the fall, of which the above is the beginning they would feel more encour- aged than ever.
