that Wier with others went to the office

Baseball Tomorrow

Bessemer will meet the Birmingham
Athletic club team tomorrow at the local
park and the hopes of the fans are high
for victory. The team has been strength
ened by the return of McEniry and
Bumgardner from the university, and
they will be in the game tomorrow.
Robert Ragsdale has also returned and
will play in the outfield This gives Bes-
semer the hardest hitting outfield of any
team in the league. Alexander, Randle,
Craig and Ragsdale are all hard and
consistent hitters and will cause any
pitcher to think twice. Kittrick, a new
player, has been secured, and it is
thought that he is a find. He ordinarily
catches, but can play the infied., 1t is
said also that he hits like a fiend Tucker
will pitch tomorrow, and it will probably
be fast game.
