Now it's like this-yoN do that once

 Sharp and clear these words foated down into the lobby of Clancey's hotel Saturday night and the guests rubber Whether that move would be murder and sudden death or just 8 plain old knockout was the live Question--but which the warm sentence had driftsd was shut-and the guests had to guess.
 The cause of the excitement was . heart to heart talk that Manager Hub he was handing 1t to them with the frills left off-pungent and with not to be forgotten directness that left no question of the fact. but that he meant
 Saturday afternoon there had been a fve-inning scrap between Manager Hart's Yannigans ana-Big Eds Regu- was tangled-1 and land in the last half of the fifth, the Yannigan infeld and nobody mentioned Bridges name at ed over the tally that won the battle

 It was a pretty good game. The Regulars had their infield intact, but the outfield was broken up by George Whiteman playing short for Harts gang. Hubbard. an amateur that will pitch for Brewton this summer, was on the hill for the regulars, with De- Bait and Bridges alternating at third base and the firing line. While 1t may be changed in some particulars. the chances are that both teams will put the same line of battle In the field this afternoon, when possibly seven Inning fight will be pulled off.
 Ii will be something lively. for the Yannigans are not only hungry for re- venge of Saturdays defeat. but they are also hungry for their meal tickets Monday night-and Hub has a stiff punch.
 The affair will be started as near 2:s0 as possible.

 This shoves eight games in front of the Climbers, and the chances are that Auburn will come down for one or two games. making about ten in all. If there are no accidents in these battles. the Climbers should be in excellent shape to start the league season against Bernhard's people in Nashville on the 18th of April.

When they were In Montgomery last spring, Pat Dono- can was manager of the team. but du- ring the past winter. Harry Lumley, the hard-hitting right fielder of the outfit was handed the reins.

 The pictures are due to the courtesy of Abe Yeager, of The Brooklyn Eagle, who has been in Jacksonville all spring with the team. While there will be many new faces tomorrow, yet most of the old men are still with the team and with some of the new ones.

Dundon Sees Game. New Orleans Picayune.

New Orleans Picayune.
 The regular second baseman of the Birds, Gus Dundon. yesterday after noon was so far recovered from his recent operation for appendicitis that he was one of big crowd in the grand stand to witness the Pelicans' practice game. taking as much delight in Gene Demontreville's actions guarding sec ond for George Robes Regulars as did Manager Charley Frank or anyone else, Gus was a trifle pale from his weeks confinement. but Is fast recovering his strength. He is wise to the fact that Manager Frank is preparing to slip Demont in as shortstop, providing the scrappy veteran makes good. and con fident that he will be strong enough to get back at his old position at sec ond base by the time the Southern League season opens. April IS.
 It Is reported that neither Dundon nor Demontreville has infield positions cinched.. however, for Connie Mack, of have tscitly agreed to let Manager Frank have an inhelder later on if one Is needed for shOrtstop or second base. And Connie has a bunch of good ones. all of whom he cannot retain.
 The Pelican practice was good to see. The Kegs had hard fight to defeat the Yannigans, but did 1t in clever style, the final score being to 1. The Rohes started off pounding Fritz, but the Grand Old Man.. Breitenstein. who led the Yannigans. took charge and had 1t not been for the consid- erable number of pitchers he was forced to slip into infield and outfield positions. his support would have heAp

 orlie broke into a jobl lot of trouble in the second round. sbut finally wig gled through without drawing any more in the third and this time the visitors got to him with the meat axe and came near wrecking his system before he recovered balance and shut a starter. linked to four successive baso hits was the main package of trouble which young Weaver called down upon himself and the collection Volunteers were never able to reach, despite the fine batting of Butler and East, who starred all through the fray.
 A triple in the fourth by Mir. Strunk paved the way for the fifth and last tally After this Weaver settled down and shut of the fireworks until the sixth. when Gilroy went In and held the enemy to one lone hit and nothing that looked like a run.

 A Baron Lineup.
 Birmingham News.
 What men will be members of the regular team when the. club gets down to the player limit or, the 18th of May Is question freely discussed by the fans, and of course many different opinions are expressed. The team has gotten in very little practice so far and nevertheless a good line on the probable lineup can be gotten. Some of the members of the team haven't shown up with anything yet. but 1t is not too late for these same fellows to come around and hand out the real stun.
 It would appear that if Molesworth had to pick his team now he would do something like this:
 Pitchers-Dickson, Moore, Schopp, Fleherty and Ford.
 Catchers-Raub and Kane.
 First base. Gygli; second base. Raftis; outfeld, Henline, Molesworth and McGilvary; utility man. Larsen or Ellam. :.
 But Molesworth doesn't have to pick his team right now so he will give all the fellows more chance to show what they have. It Is very probable that when the choosing Is done that Moles- worth, will pick them out as they are picked above.
 In, Dickson Manager Molesworth ex- poets Birmingham's best pitcher to ma terialize. This lad certainly has the avoirdupois and looks every inch real pitcher. He comes highly touted and much Is expected of him. It is this man of whom Charlie Babb, of Mem phis, said: He should be the best pitcher in the Southern League" This sounds good and from Babb should mean something. Another man who Molesworth expects to round into form and show good results is Earl Fleherty. This lad has been playing in hard luck since being a Baron, but If everything breaks good for him this season the ma nager believes he will make a crack ajack man. Another man who pitched medoicre ball last season and who Is Gene Ford. GsFs should be able to de- | liver the goods and Manager Moles- worth believes he will do it. Grant Schopp Is a certainty on the team and Moley expects him to show up we'll It appears that Moore will finish out the pitching staff and he is expected to do good work. e-.
 Up to date the Barons don't show much in the baseball line but 1t is so early in the season that little can be expected.
 The lads are all trying hard and will | be ready to make the start when the | gong sounds. The fans don't relish the way the practice games have been go- l ing, but then this doesn't make any difference. Every fellow will be given good chance to make good and if he doesn't 1t win be his own fault.
