Tom Fisher. the Grand Young Man"
of the Southern league. is slated to
mount the rifle pit, for the Crackers, and
he will probably be pitted against the
"Giant Killer" Harry Covaleski. Some
battle? Well rather, and we have our
money on the sorrel-topped one to beat
the big southpaw.
AT the present writing Tom Fisher
takes his hat off to none OF them in this
league when 1t comes to hunting, and
Covaleski is going to find that he is up
against the hardest proposition that he
has tackled In quite while. Another
thing that favors Fisher Is that Covaleski
has won the last six games he has twirled
and is really due to drop one.-Atlanta
Constitution.
Monday the Champs get crack at Bir-
mingham in the Barons' perfectly new
and perfectly good ball park. Moles-
worth's men declare that they are ready
for chance to crumble the Crackers,
but they will find. like the man who tried
to eat the grindstone, that they have bit
ten off more than they can chew" The
Champs, in their present condition are
about the niftiest baseball machine that
grows under southern skies, and II they
can connect with the curves of the Baron
slabmen they are apt to make lockwood
look more like graveyard than a ball
park.-Atlanta Journal.
Pitcher McTigue Is the son of John Nc
Tigue, a member of the Nashville city
council and from the Tenth ward. He
was signed by Birmingham last year, and
after a short trial was farmed to a club
in the middle west. He was recalled In
the fall and given another trial this
spring. but Manager Molesworth did not
think him fast enough for the Southern
league.
The Boston club has paid one Of the
highest prices ever known in the purchase
of class B player.
McTigue is well known in Chattanooga.
He began his baseball career on the COM
mons in West End, Nashville, and has q
host of friends all over the state who will
watch his career In the big league with
much interest-C News.
Good night, Atlanta-since her double
defeat of Saturday 1t is hardly probable
that the Pelicans will lose sleep worrying
over her proximity. Birmingham is the
only hero left on the field and to that
city is every one now looking for whirl-
wind finish, no matter whether it means
