POINTERS TO RANDOM ~

Weimer is fast going backward in the outfleld.
 But without help Frank would have a good team. With help he will have the strongest team of the league-un- less Birmingham will be able to nose him out.
 And this reminds that Birmingham failed to land that outfelder yester- day.
 It was simply another hitch in the dope and the going wrong of the best laid plans.
 Of course this outfielder will be ob- tained. But he was not obtained yes- terday.
 President Baugh announced that he had expected to land one of two men yesterday, but that Comiskey expressed desire to look over the ontfielder on whom Birmingham has designs for a few days more.
 It Is very probable that Fogel of Philadelphia will be requested 10 send Mowrey along.
 Information from Philadelphia yes- terday was to the effect that Pitchers Wilhelm and Schletter have started for Birmingham B. A.

BIRMINGHAM COLLEGE WINS
 RAGGED GAME FROM SEWANEE
Birmingham college 5, sewanee 4.

Birmingham college 5, Sewanee 4
 The result surprised Sewanee and Blr- mingham and everybody who witnessed the game.
 But on account of the fact that the work of sewanee was even more ragged in the critical moment than that of Birmingham the latter deserved the vic tory.
 The feature of the game was the ease with which Pitchers Davis and Myers struck out their opponents. Davis for Birnin gham famed 12 and Myers 10 Both pitchers were wild, however, and but for three wild pitches of Davis in the sixth inning Sewanee would not have scored more than couple of runs in the game.
 Gillem, a pitcher, played on third and he was very bad. Faulklnberry, catcher was as slow in baseball as he has all ways been in football. His poor work materially aided the victors.
 Sewanee took the lead early in the game and at the conclusion of its half of the sixth had lead of four runs.

Connie Mack has preserved hiss19 BIO combination and also has secured several recruits who show promise of developing into lively ball. tossers. The team will be stronger than the band that copped the big se- rles, as 'Rube' Oldring. who was laid up at the time, will be back in center- field. The greatest change in the ap- pearance of the Yankees Is caused bv the acquisition of Roy Hartzel from the Sf. Louis Browns and he is down to play short tomorrow unless Chase makes another of his famed eleventh hour changes of mind.
 The Cubs, practically a new team so far as the infield is concerned, and with half dozen new fingers, will face Roger Bresnahan's St. Louis Car dinals, who will invade Chicago with brighter prospects, than at any time during the last five years. Chance himself, although in trim to play at top speed, will likely delegate himself to the job of bench occupant, while Jimmy Archer holds down first base
 In New York, the Giants will be the attraction, with the Philies of Red Dooin as the visitors. McGraw fig uico oii iuIHiHB dWdy rom the cups and everybody else in the National this year, as Bugs Raymond has been toe Ing the chalk-line. Dooin also is op- tmistic, but as either Bugs" or Mathewson will dish them up for the ''choints' tomorrow, the Sleeptown crew will have to go some to get running start on their schedule.
 The invasion of Cincinnati by the Pittsburg Pirates is ticketed as live- ly melee. Both clubs claim the su- premacy of the National The Brooklyn club will play on the grounds of the Penney aggregation in Boston.
 At Detroit. the Chicago White Sox will be the guests and there is much speculation that will be determined as to whether the old Tigers can come back. The bill at the St. Louis Ame- ican league park will be Browns versus Cleveland. Larry Lajoie and the ante diluvian Cy Young will be watched closely in this contest, as also will Mig Clarke, Jimmy Austin, Laporte and Lefty" George, the new assets of the little Scot, Bobby Wallace. The Red Sox of Patsy Donovan will camp in the national capital tomorrow. but Me- Aleer of the Senators will not pitch his head-liner, Walter Johnson.
 Summing it all up, Cleveland and Pittsburg will be the only major league towns without game at home on open ing day. At both of these cities, the deaths of grandmothers will be post poned until a week from next Sat urday. In the meantime the dear old ladies have our sympathy.

SPORTING NEWS
 AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

The most interesting single bit of news which developed yesterday was the acquisition by Charlie Frank of New Orleans of Infielder Kirke of De- troit. and the announcement of his prediction that New Orleans will win the pennant by the longest margin ever scored by a team of the Southern league.
 Frank makes it plain that he Is after another catcher, though he has three, one Of them is a corking good man. another outfielder. though he already has three in whom the sporting ed itors of the Crescent City have found much satisfaction: and anoth CT infielder
 All of which means it is possible that the Dutchman is going out after the merry joy rag.
 Frank has the correct dope, all right enough.
 He needs another catcher, another infielder and could use to advantage another ouffielder.
 With the exception of Angemier he has no strong man behind the bat; Pope is weak and has always been weak in the infleld-especially with the stick ;

Chattanooga, April 10.-(Special)- After hearing certain remarks made by Fred Clark at the Hotel Patten Sat- urday afternoon prior to the Pirates departure many baseball fans will un- Sderstandf better than ever before why the Pittsburg Pirates are the grand ball club that they are, and why stars like Honus Wagner, Fred Clark, Tommy Leach, Bobby Byrne and Babe Adams can work without friction, without jeal- ousy and with only the best interests of the club at heart. for Barney Dry fuss.
 The revelation came up while Clark and several newspaper men were dis cussing the action of Charles Murphy and Frank Chance in releasing Stein- field to the St. Paul club. Clark was not member of the crowd proper, but was standing in close juxtaposition to it where he could oyerhear all that was said. The matter was discussed pro and con and finally Clark, much to the

Bir- mingham added another in the seventh, and in the eighth won out. With a -un1 her on second Mayberry tripled to deep center. With two gone, an easy pop fly to Swain was dropped and Mayberry scored the winning run.
 Sewanee got men on bases in the ninth, but when Faulkinberry famed the agony was practically over. The final out oc- cured on pop fly to pitcher.
 Birmingham has a team of usual strength. Davis appears to be a good man f.l spite of his lack of control. Blr- minghams catcher is rather weak on throwing, and the third baseman needs a little more practice In all parts of the game. Sewanee is lamentably weak. With the exception of Gi.lem there is not a hitter on the club. Myers did good pitching, hitting, base running and run getting.

BILL ON MAJOR OPENING
By BILL.

Tomorrow the greatest event in the an- nual sporting calendar will take place the first game of the major league base warm and purblind reader this announce ment is of no special significance, but to the dyed-in-the- raging, ram pant, wringtailed fan, the millions or masculine maniacs, who yearly toss as many perfectly good straw "Kellys" high in the air under stress of great ex- cltement it rivals in importance the as- sassination of the President declaration proclamation of war, or the announce ment that John D. is a candidate for executive chief of the United States on the socialist ticket. It means the dem ocratic hob-nobering of bootblacks\> and bankers, bartenders and brokers; the visual appearance of the small boys idols, and a liberal inter9hange of the currency of the realm.
 But the opening of the baseball season has still another. deeper, darker side-a side which brings sorrow to thousands of happy homes, makes prevaricators of hitherto perfectly honest men, and causes a dearth of office boys which threatens to bring the business of the nation to a standstill-to wit the death of grand mothers This summers loss of the dear old ladies has long been viewed as a sea- son which, during it's open months, rivals the yearly slaughter of other games. In fact so great has been the alleged death of superanuated females that it is estimated. upon competent au- thority, that something like 100000 suc- cumb annually to the rigors of our sum- mers.

 There are men upon the Pittsburg team' continued Clark, who are past their prime, who are only dead tim Der, but the Pittsburg club will never discharge them. These men have given the bloom of their careers to Barney Dryfuss and he will not desert them now. Whenever any of Pittsburg's vet erans leave Barney Dryfuss, the world will know that they have left baseball forever.

 Then there is the bug whose hedge- hog is the home team. This man starts -hs spring with the exodus of the clubs for the south and gradually sheds gar ment after garment as they work north, till tomorrow he will appear on his way to the opening game without an over coat, possibly with his coat unbuttoned, stogies, which retail at half dozen for a. quarter, and will swear by all that he holds sacred that summer is here
 Still another victim of that puzzling disease, ''fanitis" is the hoary octoge- marian who jostles you on the car, begs your pardon in quavering tones. and straightway launches into a dissertation regarding the relative merits of tho teams of yesteryear and those of today. This ancient Dug usually remembers the day the game was invented, familiar ly calls by name the man who first inn proved horsehide by surrounding a ball with it, and will. if properly approached, permit you to feel his biceps, and pull
 
 to bounce the pill off the back fence with such regularity that they have to shift 1t half mile.
 Then, too, there is the family man-the office bound, hard working married per son whose only acquaintance with the game is through the newspaper reports. The man who will look wistfully out of the office window, hands i'll pockets, and pen behind ear, and wonder how ''the games going" the man who will go -fome to his family, bail in his quota of fodder and lose himself in the sporting page, until brought to life by his better half, who demands to know what he sees in that old baseball anyway" and who will then retire for the night and dream of the happy days when 50 cents wasn't such great amount and he could occasionally kill a relative and see a game.
 But aside from all these queer kinks and turns of human nature that the season will disclose. there Is the vast army of fans" not bugs" you .un- derstand--a "bug" is a parasite, a maniac, and a pest, but "fans"-men, women and children. rich, well-to-do and poor-who, at work or at play, aWdke or asieep, at nome or harvest eat, sleep, think and talk baseball. The fans whose money contributes to the life of baseball, whose interest makes it profitable and whose allegiance to the hum team" creates that spirit of rivalry without which money and in- terest would be of no avail--these are the people to whom the announcement that the major league season opens to- morrow means the most
