In Wilhelms case, the following is true: Wilhelm had a contract with Birmingham whereby he was to be given his uncondi- tional release after the conclusion of last season. Between the time of signing that contract and the conclusion of the sea son, the rule on "waivers was adopted, this making his unconditional release in- possible. Wilhelm has now taken his case to the national commission in an effort to gain his release, and the local club is aid i ing him. If he does gain his release, he will play again with Birmingham. Will helm figures that in the south he will star and draw a splendid salary, whereas with Brooklyn he might not star, and might draw fewer dollars.

No full reports can be had from the
 other members of the league, Mique
 Finn has started gossip by asking for
 waivers on Douglass, the big first base man who jumped last year, and Rock enfield, the shortstop who was so valu
 able. This should cause no surprise, however, for it is with unquestionable
 ease that Finn restocks his team. He has developed a talent for finding men at little cost that makes Charlie Frank pale into insgniicance.
 From inside information, 1t is learned that Finn will make an effort to finish high this season. Finn believes that if he should win the pennant, his club would be worth considerable more than it is today. He realizes that Little
 Rocks days in the Southern league are numb cred, and plans to sell at the end of next season at a profit. Chattanooga
 has been considered the natural city to
 succeed Little Rock, but inasmuch as
 the alleged sportsmen of that city de- clned to raise $12000 with which to purchase the Little Rock club last fall, it is doubtful whether the Tennessee town will ever get in fast company again.
 Montgomery is hopeful. Jimmy Ryan
 at first, understanding the strength of
 the Southern league, lined-up dozen
 or more semi professionals from the corner lots of Chicago. But now, hav- ing received the proper rating of the
 league has settled down, and promises to do well.
 Memphis, according to reports, is
 having a difficult task in getting it's contracts signed for another season. Charlie Babb, however, will have a worthy team when the time comes to fall-to. Hurlburt and Owens will be his catchers.N Carey will again play first, Babb short, and Richards third.
 Carter will be returned to the outfield. Stockdale, Cristall and several new faces-among them the stars of the | South Atlantic-will be Babb's slab | men.
 1 Charlie Frank, according to his cus- tom, is Keeping very silent about his 1 next seasons team. It is known, how" ever that the Philadelphia Americans ] will release Billy Bartley to him. Bart 1 ley is an old Southern league pitcher who never starred in big league com l pany He will do wellSin Dixie, how l ever it is believed. Sabrie will again play first, Gatins second and Cross l thrd It is now apparent that the report to the effect that Cross would organize
 an outlaw league Is erroneous. Gaston | will be again in centerfield, and Promo l Gum has been signed to play left. It | is, not known wh ether Frank will re- 1 tain Catchers Stratton and Matthews or 1 not. but it is probable that he will not. | Fritz will be Franks chief slabman, 1 with Bartley. Breitenstein, of course | will be on hand, but it is doubtful | whether he will be able to get about longer. Whitey Guese will probably
 be in harness again.

 Atlanta bids fair to be among the pennant contestants for another sea- son-that is, in case the old rule mak- ing all pennant winners slump the fol- lowing season, has an exception.
 Atlanta returns it's infield intact Fox, Jordan Castro and Dyer In case Castro carries out his intention of sticking to the undertaking business and retires permanently, Bill Smith will have several men trying for the posi- tion of shortstop, notably Wilkes, Sand herr and Morgan. In the outfieId, Win ters and Becker will be returned, and Collins, drafted from Springfield in the Central league will probably fill the other vacancy.
 Smith lacks one catcher. He failed to recover Sweeney from New York, but last season fortunately purchased Me- Murray of the Texas league, man which LaRouck offered to Birmingham. but whom Birmingham turned down. For pitchers Smith has Ford, Schopp, Mckenzie Of last seasons outlay, and Burket Viebahn, Cummings, Atkins and others of the new crop. In addi- tion, according to custom, Clark Grif- filth will leave man to be developed in Atlanta and if this man proves as valuable as Hughes in 1906, and Castle- ton in 1907, the Atlanta fans sh ould be satisfied.
 So from the above, it is to be seen at a glance that barring the unfore- seen, Atlanta will be a contender for the rag next season.

The local club is very hopeful concern ing McNel.
 The pitcher had a fine season last year, and is in fine form. He is at present To- cated in Birmingham and has law office here.
 He was graduated last spring in the law school of the University of Alabama and aided Coach Pollard for a few weeks, in shaping the champion college baseball club of the south. Immediately after concluding his course he returned east and figured prominently among the pitchers of that league.
 He stars as a strike-out artist, and has a record of 16 for last season. The few games which he lost last year went astray through lack of control. Lack of control Is a malady common with pitchers who are able to make opposing batsmen ozone.

It is common street gossip in Birming ham that Manager Vaughn has signed or purchased Osteen, the utility shortstop of the Chicago Americans. At local baseball headquarters, however. no confirmation of the rumor can be gained. and 1t will prob ably be after the return of Manager Vaughn before positive information can be given.
 Manager Vaughn is expected in Blr- mingham within the next two weeks, and it is very probable that he will have some news that will turn the present cloudy horizon into full-sun splendor.

for this stone is lucky one. and
the legend goes that the amethyst
was once a beautiful nymph. be-
loved by Bacchus, who was changed
into gem. The ancients used to
place amethysts in their drinking
vessels as preventive against in
toxlcatioD, and the beautiful violet
rays were supposed to be source of
vitality to wearers OF the amethyst.

Lees Surrender,

As has been the custom here for
many years, the anniversary of the
surrender of Lee was observed,
Thursday evening of last week, with
appropriate exercises. The program
was on a somewhat more elaborate
scale than usual and an innovation to
the ordinary custom was introduced
by having the ladies of Russell Relief
Corps present as guests of the Post.
The company gathered at head
quarters shortly after six o'clock and
at $50 sat down to a fine banquet
which the Post committee had pre-
pared for them. One hundred and
twenty were present at the banquet
and later arrivals increased the at
tendance to something like one hun
dred and fifty. The exercises fol-
lowed Immediately after the banquet
and consisted of music by Company
f. Band, songs, recitations, and
speaking by Rev. DR.. F. A. Leitch, l..
l.. Walton and others.
The stars and stripes were display
ed from the tlagpole, over headquar-
tiers, during the day and the hall was
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting. The committee who arrang-
ed and carried out the affair in SO
successful manner were Chas
Smith and DIR. J. N. Merrill.
