Tim Murphy Tonight.

Surrounded by a splendid company, which includes of course, Dorothy Sher- rod and many other notables, Tim Murphy comes to the Jefferson theatre tonight, presenting a play that should arouse un- usual interest among theatregoers For this presentation MT. Murphy has spared nothing-not emitting the minutest de- tail-and the promises are that Birmipg- ham will see this favorite comedian in the best production he has ever offered Is1 fact this was the verdict when the play was presented here two years ago to one of the largest audiences of the 1e06-07 season. On that occasion The Age Herald said: "Tim Murphy's popularity in Birmingham was never more strikingly illustrated than it was last night at the Jefferson theatre, where, in spite of the gala opening of a new theatre and the strong opposition of two more. he played to one of the largest audiences that has ever greeted him here. Ringing laughter and enthusiastic, heartfelt applause greet ed the efforts of the comedian and his company"

BASEBALL CHATTER

Hoffman Is regular of the Providence team of the Eastern league and is making the outing with Mack as a guest of honor.
 That boy Strunk is some ball player in every department of the game. He might warm the bench, but he will stick just the same.
 Bert Blue, the old Birmingham catcher, is with Mack and if his arm returns he will make good for a certainty.
 General Jackson and McInnes are said to be slated for regular 'substi- ute" berths.
 Collins on second is the only regular travelling with the yannigans.
 Barr, who showed up so miserably at the stick in yesterdays game, striking out four times in succession, has pre- viously done splendid work on this trip.
 Rube Stowers was in the South Atlan- tic last season. Krause, a southpaw, Flater, Files and Salve-the latter an other South Atlantic product-are the other twirlers of the yannigan staff.
 While in New Orleans, stated Con nie Mack yesterday, the Regulars and Yannigans played a series of five games. Each team won two. The fifth game was a ten-inning tie, neither side scoring. At this time of the year there's very little difference"
 Connie Mack stated that Bender each season talks about entering the employ ment of a cartridge company, but when the sap rises he always returns to the game. Bender, as is known, Is a splen did partridge shot, having won the cham pionship of Pennsylvania some time ago.
 But for accidents in judging fly balls and in umpiring the game would have looked much better yesterday. It should have ended with the score standing about to 3.
 The Barons were not disheartened at all after the struggle, and declared that they were going for the visitors this after noon.
 Larsen has developed "charleyhorse" and Moore is complaining of a sore arm. Otherwise all are well.
 Dickson impressed the fans who saw him yesterday. He looks like a player.
 Henline and Bowen stung the ball well yesterday. Henline is hitting already in old time form. If Bowen keeps up his gait of yesterday he will be very val uable.
 Paftis handled himself very cleverly around third and threw well. Gygl did lne work al first and stole two bases.
 Kane caught very nice game and hit the ball ca the nose although they would not go safe.
 There's a big old pitching staff coming Bauer, Fleharty Ford, Moore, Dickson, Molly Schopp, Laird, Veasey and prob ably Robinson.

 This years varsity will be composed, in the main of new material. It was at first thought the lack of .old heads on the team would necessarily handicap Ala bama, but in response to the call many promising youngsters turned out. As a result well balanced bunch of ball play CTS has been selected While there are no bright stars on the team the aggre- gatlon as a whole plays a very consistent game that will, in the long run, win more games than will a team of stars

Derrill Pratt, Jere Austil, E. B. Peebles, Whitfield, Pritch- ett Joe Mudd and T. ". Griffiths. A few words about these men will not be out of place.
 Vaughn, Birmingham boy, caught for Alabama part of last season. He will play the same position this year, but will not appear in the opening series.
 M. Pratt was a substitute last year but will be on the regular pitching staff this Saason Ha hae dava1onad good sneed and curves and will be one of the 'varsity's best twirlers.

 He played in several games last year and showed up very well.
 Tucker, who resides in Thomasv1lle, IS a new man on the team though ne mas been in school two years. Thus far ne has shown remarkable speed. curves and control, and in all probability will be the strongest pitcher on the team.
 This Is also Snedecors first year on the team but he Aas developed into an excellent ball player He will hold down first base in the coming series. He Is Tuscaloosa boy.
 Anderson, who resides in Birmingham, played in several games last year and showed up well both as catcher and first baseman. He will probably catch in the series against Howard.
 Waite played on varsity two years ago. He is fast and capable inflelder.
 Derrill Pratt, who is captain of the team, will play third base. the same po- sition which he held last year. He is an excellent fielder and strong hitter. He lives in Tuscaloosa.
 Griffiths is a Birmingham boy who will play his first year. Thus far he has shown considerable ability at shortstop.
 Austell. Whitfield, Pritchett, Mudd and Peebles have never been regularly on the team before, though they have been stu dents at the university for two years. The outfeld will be selected from these five men, all of whom have proved themselves good, snappy felders.
 During the last few days pr. Pollard has devoted his attention to the develop ment of team work and the perfection of the signals. All of the members of the varsity squad are hard workers, and in spite of the hanul, aps caused by inclem- ent weather and green material, have practiced faithfully with view to win ming fresh laurels for the Crimson-White.
 The lineup in Fridays game will prob ably be as follows:
 Anderson. catcher; Tucker. pitcher; Snedecor, first base; Waite. second base; Griffiths short stop; D. Pratt. third base; Mudd, left field; Pritchett, center field; Whitfield, right field.
 The Alabama Howard series was sched- uled to begin tooay, but on account of heavy rains In Tuscaloosa yesterday Dr. Pollard asked Manager Wood of Howard to postpone the beginning of the series un- til tomorrow. This Manager Wood gra- eiousy consented to do.

Cy Pulls One.

Mobile, March 24.-"I see," said Cy Young, that Roosevelt is go ing to raise beard while he's hunting In Africa. That's a fine idea-raising a beard. Maybe when I get little older I'll raise one. I used to wear a mustache. "A beard would be fine for trick plays in ball game. If pitcher had a good growth of alfalfa he
 could hide the ball in the thicket and walk over to third base and
 touch a man out before he could
 find out where it was.
 Those long lace curtains could be used by a catcher. He wouldn't
 need a protector, and by waving
 them this way and that he could
 vie his signals to the pitcher.
 As a batter, I'd prefer the
 fluffy. luxurious punches at each
 side of the face, called sideburns, or l, burnsides, I don't know which.
 By turning your head quickly you could stick a whisp in the catch er's eye. and maybe let in run from third
 Yes, there are lots of nice things about whiskers, and Ted dy isn't the only man who can make use of them. But sometimes our wives object to them.' And Cy heaved sigh.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Master Hand"

A careful scrutiny of the play, "The Master Hand," would no doubt disclose the flaws characteristic of great many American plays The vehicle Is not extra ordinary but that the performance of Nat C. Goodwin and Edna Goodrich at the Jefferson last night was interesting, cannot be denied. The cast supporting the two stars was an excellent one with out exception.
 The play was well received last night by quite a brilliant audience, which all most entirely filled the theatre. The au- ditors were carried away by the dry humor of MT Goodwin in the part of John Bigelow, by the dramatic ability, exceptional beauty, handsome dress and winsomeness of Edna Goodrich, by the dashing theme of the play, and the able support of the remaining members of the cast.
 Nat Goodwin as John Bigelow won his audience from the start with his droll manner in the portrayal of a Wall street financier and persistent suitor, and while the character presented by MT. Goodwin in sThe Master Hand" is not up to that in .'The Gilded Fool" his depletion of the character of the Wall street specula- tor and master of finance was certainly intensely interesting.
 Edna Goodrich portrays with effective ness the part of a New York girl into whose life there comes shadow which is finally dispelled by the common sense eff forts of the man from Wall street, John Bigelow The actress was all loveliness last night and her dramatic ability is un- deniable The gowns she wore were pos sibly the most beautiful seen here this season.
 As James Rallston, an unfortunate stock speculator, Carl Anthony did well. He was all his part demanded. Anna Herit- age as Kitty Traver was quite interesting. Tn fact, the entire cast was very good.
 From the scenic viewpoint the play is fine All four acts are handsomely staged and especially is such the case with the fourth act, picturing the drawing room in the Rallston residence on Fifth ave- nue. New York.
