With turn in the luck and things going so nicely. President Chambers yesterday decided to write an individual letter to the players of the Montgomery baseball team. putting the situation. as he sees 1t. befoss them and asking for an extra try for place at the top.
 The letter follows:
 July s2. 1908 ITO the Members of the Montgomery Base ''The game of ball yesterday afternoon pleased your management and the public in general. The recent slump which our club nSs just PSssd tnr9Ssh sS nss sr9Sshe forth of the game, and unless we can all get to- gether and pull for success. the atendance and the result will be that the owners of the club will be forced to go down in their pockets and put up money for whatever de- This want to avoid if possible.
 T believe. and the public in general in Montgomery believes that the Montgomery Ball Club Is as good a club as there is in the league, and our numerous defeats which have come upon us recently is matter that none of us thoroughly understand. Now. my object in addressing you this cir cular letter Is to ask each and every one of you to put forth from now on your of a doubt that we have the ability to win at leas two-t thirds of the games on our home grounds and when we do not accom- RAlSA tAAo ID SOhAothAuB IoQl~ cally wrong.
 ''There is not club in the Southern League today has more talent than our club. There is not club In the Southern League today that ranks higher in 90 far as the gentleman-nke makeup of the club Is concerned than ours. We belong in the First Division and not in the position that we now occupy. Ths letter is written to you in the friendliest spirit possible, and 1t is my sincere hope that each and every one of you will take it in this spirit and from today put forth every effort possible to win as many games as possible Throw gin- ger and vim into your games and we are bound to win. If any of you have a griev- ance that is in any way affecting your ability to play ball. please consult with me freely in reference to this grievance and I will see if things cannot be made satis- factory with you. We want the games. We want the attendance. We have the material to win the games. and if we win the games we are bound to get the attendance.
 Yours very truly,
 "R. J. Chambers, .
 President" After the game yesterday the men called upon President Chambers and told him that they were not only going to get second place, but had made up their minds to land first. They thanked him for the way he has been treating them and promised their loyal sup part to his interests.

Charley Frank Has Words
 of Praise for Ryan's Men

Manager Charles Frank. of the cres- cent City. and the best posted man in Southern League circles, said yes- terday afternoon after the game that Montgomery should feel proud of her bah club as it now stands,
 The addition of Rockenfeld and Hopkins would strengthen any ball club and your president should be con- graduated upon securing them. There are no better men in the League than these two men. Then putting Grem- inger on first is a ten strike and think he will soon be looked upon as

one of the best first seekers in the South.
 Putting Perry on third gives the team a great third baseman. Four pitchers and catchers seem to all be working well as are the right and left fielders, Persons and Ryan and if Pope continues his good work at short he will rank among the best.
 'I am pleased to see the ginger and push that your team Is showing, and I predict that the club will not remain where they are. Your public should turn out big and encourage the man. agement and the players"
