win, and handicap at six furlongs, en-
gaging some of the best sprinters at the

The advent of Kaufman means heavy

ten days the two are expected to don
the gloves often in heavy ring work.

of lively sparring clashes with the
brawny blacksmith.
Johnson seems to have forgotten all
about his managerial troubles. once

quired by the Dixie major. Therefore
it was necessary to cut him free. The
climate too. was handicap. and he
has frequently complained of not feel
ing just right.
1t is not improbable but that Stock
daLe will be sent to the slab Satur-
day afternoon. Since his release by
Mobile some weeks ago he has kept
himself In good shape. As the fans
know, he is effective with fine control
and a quick breaking splitter" He
has a great store of baseball brains
and understands how best to use that
stock. He won few games for Mo-
bile this season, but few pitchers won
more. 1t is believed that his addition
will materially strengthen the Barons.
1t is interesting to note that Stock
dale was with Wordsworth on the old
Washington club and later with linn
in Montgomery.
At the Chattanooga league meeting
waivers were requested on Henry
Meek. The big fellow severely hurt
his ankle in one of the games against
Birmingham and he will not be able
to play again within several weeks.
And the Chattanooga management has
been little impressed with the work of
the ex-Baron this season.

In the second place, Sid Smith while
being an excellent ball player, has

In the third place, how does that
provision about the purchase of stock

At the present moment Birmingham

to 5000 per share, and II you had a
pick AK you couldn't dig up enough on
