VAUGHN AFTER MEN.
Birmingham Manager Is Strengthening
 His Team.

Birmingham. Ala, April 12-(SpeciaD Manager Vaughn of the Birmingham m Baseball Club is still using the wires freely in search of good men.
 He will have new pitcher here be- fore the end of the week, Flaherty of the Western Association, now with the Cincinnati team, and another catcher is being .corresponded with. Other players will be sought.
 Manager Vaughn says that he has plenty of time before the wedding out is necessary and that he Is going to do everything in his power to bring winning team here. He is not yet do- ing any boosting as to the team but says that with some strengthening in spots he expects to be strong.
 The local club will be accompanied to Montgomery this week for the open ing of the season by a large crowd, a number of fans announcing their in- tentfons of making the trip.
 Therc Is considerab ble doubt as to the attendance in Birmingham at bali games this season. If the team gets off well from the start the attendance might be good. No matter how well the team does in the start it is not believed universally that the patronage is going to be as good in Birmingham as 1t was two years ago.

THE FLAGSHIP GOES DOWN

What time the farther shore swims into sight,
Andswrecking cliffs loom high. and tugging swirls
Uprcacb TO snatch the quivering planks--at watch.
And yesrning OUT across the billowy sea
He, too hath pIowed in sunshine aud in storm,
He sees the ballant bows of many bark
Their voyage just begun-breastng the foam.
He signals joyous greetings back,
So I-my voyage ended--backward look TO where
Your bright sails strain against the singing winds
That drove me on. and call to you, What cheerl
What cheer. brave marinersf''

Lashed 1t hath been by many a bitter wave.
Its sails are stripped to tatters. and its ropes
Lie coled and rotting the splintered deck.
The precious cargo, wherewith Youth and Hope
Loaded, erewhile the hold hath dwindled low
Beneath the gnawing fingers of the years.
But yet--oh, yet! goodly voyage thIsI
The winds that spurred the blood to strife;
lightning
That drew the heart to meet it like the sting
OF magnet steel; the scream of gulls at dawn;
The slender whistling masts a-bend. How sweet
These were! And oh. the still and starry nights,
The sunlight days; and. oh, Love at the helm.
And Friendship keeping ever watch and wardi

The strain the grinding nerve. the wearied arm.

Across life's tumbling Wherefore, l.
