SERIOUS CHARGES, THESE

whirlwind, from the Chicago White Sox.
Last spring he headed the White Sox bat-4
ting list and last season in the New Eng-S
land Glass B league he established fine2
record He will materially strengthen the
Barons.
And Birmingham is after first-class
twirler-another one, We should have said
1t Is not known in what pond the line has
been dropped but the fact that 1t is out
Is enough to please.
Detroit is preparing to farm Bill Leli-
welt, formerly with Mobile, and Works
Either would make capital man in this
league And Cincinnati has put Castle
ton on the market. And there will be a. e
host of others turned adrift within the
next few days The big league clubs will
whack down May 10 to % men each.
Another first rate twrler, and another
first rate infielder who is able to hit
the ball, would put Birmingham in the
first division in a short while ana keep
it there. We are not far behind the first
division even now. a
A mans pride in his home city Is what
makes baseball the national game what
/. is.
We cannot see, therefore, Why anyone.
should delight in seeing his nome clup
lose 1t is difficult to figure it out why
anyone would aid in breaking down the
team of his own town. But in every
city, and especially in Birmingham, there
are Just such men.
Fans in Birmingham have spoiled more
than one good ball player, and are apt
to ruin others. Yesterday afternoon, for
instance. in the very beginning of the
game. several loud voices called upon the
Volunteers to crush the Barons, and the
persons to whom these voices belonged
would have taken great delight IN the
downfall of the locals.
Bet against the team if you care to,
but do not attempt to destroy 1t. Let's
help build it up for the glory OF Biz
mingham.
Seitz of Atlanta is destined to wear the
colors of Mobile and his annexation prob
ably means the passing out or the league
of Bill Huesman, formerly one of the
stars of this circuit
But Bill has lost his hitting eye. and
his ability to smash the hide was always
his only valuable asset He has been
an ordinary outfielder for several years
He is very slow, too.
Montgomery is playing magnificentiy at
the present time, and has been playing
splendidly for two weeks New orleans
manages to keep within striking distance
of the Climbers. and the Lookouts are
in easy reach of them. But the three
have drawn themselves far above the
others in the race
But the year is young, and long whlie
eparates May 10 and September To- The
three which lead now may be members
of the vanguard in two months, although
such is not probable.
Case or Hub Perdue will probably
mount the hill for Nashville this after
noon. while Bauer will no doubt do the
f1inging for Birmingham.
Yesterdays game was good one. and
the fans got face value for their money.
That today's will be equally as gooo
everyone hopes. The Barons need a lew
victories in succession just at this time.

ris, Trainer Jack Baker is reported to be
negotiating with Jockey V. Powers, who
was to have ridden Waldo. The change
of jockeys tomorrow may have far
reaching effect on the betting and pos
sibly may result in other changes of
riders. The removal of Waldo and the
placing of one or two other horses in the
doubtful class has reduced the list of
certain starters to eight but field of

Those regarded as certainties are the
following:

GREMINGER'S HOMER
TURNED THE TIDE

Montgomery, May 9.-Montgomery fin
isAed strong in the wind-up of today's
game when, with the score tied in the
eigft tn, four tallies were put across in
quick succession. Memphis would prob
ably have been shut out but for White
mans wild throw, which let in one run.
The locals pitcher was more effective at
critical times. In the eighth, when Mont
gcmery won the game, Greminger, with
enc man on base, hit home run. The
ball rolled under the clubhouse in left
field, and he circled the bags in a trot.

New InfieIder Coming

Montgomery, May 9.-(Special.)-
President Joseph has an infielder
staked out, but will not let it be known
just yet who he is. However, it is
certain that by the end of the week
there will be new face in the round
up Burnett now gives promise OF
playing regularly, though his ankle
is still sore, ut Pratt will hardly
make it for a great while yet, his sore
arm being very much to the bad. Os-

THERE rs Moi A STAKE.

The men. who accepted the Repub-
lican nominations for members of
the general council. did so at the so
licitation of citizens interested in
supporting the present business ad-
minlstration during the remainder OF
its term. This is an important year
upon which we are about TO enter.
The quadrennial assessment Is to be
made and the tax rate to be fixed.
Upon the work depends to a great
extent the revenues and improvement
of the city. and the expenses of the
property owners. Economy and
sound business judgment are neces-
sary. We have confidence in the
faithfulness and ability of the mayor
He should have in the general coun-
ell men in sympathy with his plans
and projects in order that he may
have a free rein in the
management of affairs. An adverse
majority in the general council with
so much at stake and a big municipal
campaign approaching. would mean
that aspiring politicians could do
everything possible IN the general
council to embarrass the admins
tration for the effect 1t would have
on the next election.
