Montgomery Team This Year
 Stronger Than Last Season

Ryan says he has the best pitching staff he ever saw assembled with minor league and he ought to know. There's where the big difference is- the pitching staff. The fans ought 10 remember that while the team of fast year had to bear lot of knocking 1t was better than some which hao represented Montgomery and they should remember, too, that 1t 1inisheo at the head of the second division. which means in effect that 1t was the average team of the league.
 The team for while last season hao the best catching staff in the league when Seabaugh and Hausen were pay ing, but they were playing with Mont- gomery only a part of the season. IL is doubtful if they were any better than Messitt and shannon. Certalnly in defensive work, catching and throw CTS Montgomery has is better than any other that ever drew pay from the local club.
 There is no need to talk of the ,Io pitch Snd anytsfaF ng stnf ka 5efofe 0feer % Stackpole, MerFyman. Van Anda, Helm. Cristall and sam Weems form staff that any minor league club would pc proud to have. It is so far above the weak staff of last year that there is no need of comparing the two.
 The infield is stronger than 1t was last year notwithstanding the promo ton of Neal Ball to big league com pany. Baxter last year was not at his best He says so himself, although he was then among the leading flrst sackers of the league. Baxter admits that he was off the water wagon dur ing the summer and that it affected there's none of that this year. The Moose" is playing for promotion to the big league and if he keeps up his present lick he will get 1t too. His fu of SapU at first since the Southern League was revived.
 At second Perry is head and should CTS above Wye who was plainly not fast enough for the league although he was kept through the year. There Is more difference between Pery and Wye than there is between Pepee and Neal Ball Pepee may not hit like Ball and 1t wlll even Ball did not field any faster than the Kid. He has been clouting the ball with the leaders too.
 Grenine Greminger at third has beer put in the place of Perry and the third baseman that is better than Perry is certainly a star. Ryan thinks Gremin- ger is today the best third sacker ir the minors. He believes the big fel- low will lead the third sackers of the Southern and he expects him to hit 300
 Montgomery had only two outfielders last season. Houtz and Henline anc both were men of the first rank. Hen year. in fact he appears better There is no discounting the fact that wheT Birmingham got Fred Houtz. it got 2 star performer, but If Persons play his
 best game he will cover the garder and hit as we'll as "Hefty'' over did Ryan expects to be among the lead CTS when the final batting tabulatIon' are made up. He will be grievouslS disappointed if he drops below 300 And as fielder. nothing in the Southern 1 League has 1t on the old boy.
 | And remember Ryan will play wher' i last year any old pitcher or any olC ! catcher filled in.
 If any team has strengthened up fl
 the winter like Montgomery. 1t has no l. been recorded.

RECORD ATTENDANCE
EXPECTATION FOR OPENING DAY
 IS MOST SANGUINE.
Many Merchants VIII Close shops to Allow Employees to See Game People Come From
 Elsewhere.

The attendance at the opening day pected to break all records. The move ment for general closing of the stores of the city has met with great favor.
 A number of merchants have stopped tarily assured him that they proposed to close their shops to allow their clerks and employees and opportunity of seeing the game. A considerable number of. the smaller cities around Montgomery will contribute attend ance to the opening exercises.
 Manager Ryan is against players pa the players harm. Bach man viii be given ear ticket and told to go to
 But the band viii be there. The local association has engaged the Montgomery City Band and 1t will pa beginning of hostilities at the park. The band half an hour previously to the beginning of the game will be set up in the grand stand. where 1t will give half an hours concert. The base ball fan will, therefore. on the open ing day get band concert and see cracking f~~ game for one admission, which looks like bargain.
 StackpOle May Not Pitch.
 Stackpole has been complaining little bit of his arm and 1t is possible that he may not pitch the opener. If he doesn't feel like undertaking it. Thomas VII be run in. And if Thomas does the work, his old side partner Shannon, will do the receiving. It looks as though Greminger will be in the game after all. His batting will be a Dig factor. Although he may be able to play the big fellow will not be in the best of condition. His sprained ankle has prevented him from getting the practice the other fellows have had and the sore joint is bound to interfere with his speed. Persons at last has rounded into shape, although his throwing arm is not all that could | be desired.
 | Montgomery has consistently lost tn 6 opener ;n the various league years. The fans have a very feeling recollection of the last opening series in Atlanta, when Atlanta took every game. This | year the fans are expecting more, and | if Birmingham breaks even, the Barons will be doing well.

BRITT KNOCKED OUT
PACKEY MCFARLAND WINS IN
 SIXTH ROUND.
After the Time Keeper Had Counted Five Britt's Father Jumped Into the Ring and Waved Mac
 Farland Away.


 Colna Arena, San Francisco. Cal. April 11.--Packey Mcfarland, the Chi cago lightweight made short work of Jimmy Britt this afternoon in their scheduled twenty-round contest.
 Britt, was sent to the floor, three times in the sixth and last round by powerful right wallops on the point of the jaw. He took the count of nine twice and after the time keeper had counted five. Britt's father jumped into the rang and waved Mcfarland away. It was practically a clear knock -out. Mcfarland outclassed Britt from start to finish.
 The Britt who faced Mcfarland this afternoon was not the Britt of old. He did not seem to guage his blows and displayed much weakness In the clinches and close range fighting.
 Mcfarland on the othcr hand, had tance was excellent and he displayed great punching power, Mcfarland showed also that he Is a wonderful two-hand fighter. In the first and,sec- ond rounds. Mcfarland outboxed, out punched and completely outgeneraled his opponent. During the third. fourth and fifth rounds, MacFariand adminis- tered succession of powerful rights on Britts jay. Toward the close of the fifth round q right smash to the jaw sent Britt to the mat and only the timely clang of the gong saved him from being counted out.
 In the sixth round Mcfarland un- hooked wicked right that caught Britt on the point of the chin. He dropped like a log. At the count of nine he scrambled to his feet, but Mac Farland was right after him and an- other right to the same place. sent the nat the elder Britt stepped Into the ring and acknowledged defeat for his son.
 After the fight Britt said:
 T was clearly beaten. This Is the last time ever will box In a prize ring"

ference between the two teams. The regulars showed up the Irregulars in at the bat But the Irregulars broke up every trick play strategy because they knew the signals Ryan had drilled into his men. Baxter tried the squeeze on the proper signal, but the Irregu- lars were onto his move and killed him dead midway between third and home.
 Joe Pepee, who can't hit according to the record dope, but who has been htt- ting ever since he has been in Mont. gomery, slammed out a home run to deep left in the opauing inning and scored three runs on the hit. The hall went to the fence corner between the fence and the club house, as long hit as could be made inside the grounds. The little short stop also tore out s stinging single and picked up hot grounder off the second sack that started the crowd to cheering.

best short stop in the league" Rose got -chetsy and missed the others that came his way. Billy Cristall did not play second as well as Johnny Evers could haVS done it. He couldn't get the ball to stick, somehow.
 Trying to Freeze Moose Out.
 There was a combination on last night to freeze" Moose Baxter out Of the Straw Hat Pool. The Moose was going up and down the avenue yester- day killing it with a dream of spring suit, with trimmings to match: The Moose's angular frame was sWathed Tn delicate gray, set out by pink shirt, He certainly put on the dog. The point has been made that tbe Moose Is gull ty of unethical and unprecedented com duct in wearing a spring suit befor9 the season opens. His new straw hat is in danger.
