weather Is Good.
The weather today is pleasant and
there is no reason why an interesting
contest should not ensue. Jack F'rill
is anxious to go into the game after
McGinnity has had enough work, and
the former New York twirler may
allow his hireling to show that there
are some pitchers in the Eastern
League.
The reception in M%illedgeville last
night has had only one effect, and thai
IS that some Of the players are really
homesick. Many of them became we'll
acquainted in the town md will visit
the place whenever opportunity pre-
sents itself. All ARE in good shape.
Oakley and Stroud would not be
averse to taking a fling at the for
midable aggregation. Randolph is
always ready for work; in fact, there
is not a twirler on the team who is
SO anxious to make good that he
would willingly endanger throwing his
pitching arm out of the socket in order
to make a good impression upon the
powers that be.
Tiger Battle Front.
The lineup OF the Tigers will probably

with the exception of the pitchers, as in
previous contests. Louden is going p~articu-
larly well and Is hitting the ball hard.
The Boston team did not practise very
hard yesterday. The weather was not any
too good. Cecil Ferguson. the young
pitcher whom Bowerman brought into camp
has been turned over TO the Augusta team.
It is said that another pitcher will be given
to Augusta by Boston before Bowerman
and his charges leaves this place.
Tigers welcome Guests.
Many of the Tigers have friends in This
outraged as much as the big show team.
1T is not known whom Bowerman will
work, but it is a certainty that he will put
the best condition. The Hub manager be-
lieves that the Tigers will give his team a
hard struggle for supremacy at this stage
Of the. game, and he will take no chances.
Al of the Besneaters must go into the
skirmlsh prepare to take the measure of
the Tigers. .Adefeat would not look $ good

MitcheIrs had Finger.
Jim Mitchell. the lanky outfelder, e
suffering from a split finger which Is the
where his digits grasped his trustv
eSfndgeon.. 1t doesn't seem to hinder him
from mailing them at the ~late, by his AN
erring throws from the field, however.
and as. Jim is a chip of the good. old
Mitchell block, you'll never hear him com

by the entirely lfnintentionai spiking by
CLYDE Engle, while the latter was sliding
hack to first in the initial contest between
the Tigers and The Yanks here.
kricbeI's Legal Sense.
Some funny things happened while the
team was performing for the benefit of
the unfortunates in the State institution
for the insane. It was but a few minutes
before Paul Kriehell was in a hot argu-
ment with the former leading lawyer about
the merits of a famous case. which the
aforesaid member of the Georgia bar had
tried in his palnly days, Krich. naturally.
took the opposite side TO every point
brought out by the attorney and, from the
hot arguments of the two, there is always
an opening in the legal profession to the
sturdy-roly- poly slant receiver whenever
he desires to quit the national game. The
man who lost his reason from overwork
on the wireless biography system was
kept busy sending messages by. the Tiger
ines. Mueller sent and received one from
Egg Harbor City and Jake Gettman from
Hastings, Neb., but Joe McGinnity. when
he tried TO get into communication with
McAlester, Oklahoma. was told positively
that Jack Binns could not be fooled and
that there was no such place in this coun-
try. 1t was a sad blow to Joe.
The pennant in the Letter Writing
League was. after due elaboration and
long consideration. awarded to Johnny
