Besides the informal attire adopted by most fans there are often the afternoon tea devotees-dainty ladies who are going later to the Country club and are wearing some fantasy in the way of summer costumes, with sketchy hats oi endless variety. The three hostesses al the club this week are devoted fans : Mrs Hubert Drennen and Mrs. Harry White were, however, noted in the throne at the ball game Tuesday afternoon though they left just before It's close and
 inotored hastily to the club, wherein pret' ty costumes suited alike to tea and to g baseball game in the south, they joined Mrs. Crawford Johnson and were tht
 most gracious of hostesses. Mrs. A. H Woodward, as becomes the owner oi
 Redwood Park, is always an interested | spectator when she is in town. She mo tored out one afternoon with Mrs. Marie Melee and Mrs. Frank Crockard ant they sat in the box where one may usual ly find Mrs. Woodward, accompanied bJ
 one or more of her friends. Mrs. Wood
 ward, who Is always appropriated,
 gowned, wore blue costume and small
 black hat encircled with a vivid greer band. Mrs. Crockard was in white and
 Mrs McBee, who usually affects the simple type of costume either at baseball CT formal function, looked very interest ing in linen gown and black chapeau. Near them was Mrs. Henry Howze, who looked very pretty and Mrs. w. D. Smith, who had come up from her summer cot tage at Clairmont was another noted in a box in smart summer gown and red hat from which floated white chiffon veil.
 Mrs. Hugh Morrow and Mrs Calvin Jones were, as usual, noted, and Mrs. Syd Smith, Mrs. Ben Moore, Mrs. W. E.. Leake, and Mrs. Douglass Lake were in little party. With Mrs. Smith was her sister Miss Richardson of Montgomery, who is quite a beauty. She wore a cos tune of studied simplicity-white frock with Dutch neck and big white sailor hat which made her exquisite features and bright coloring the more notable.
 Mr. and Mrs Vernon Whitaker were there and with them sat MT. William Ba- son. Mir. and Mrs. Edward West have been seen at the games this week and Mir. and Mrs. Thomas Joy and Mrs. Tedd Joy are among the people witnessing all most every game.
 Usually occupying seats in the center box are the two little daughters of Dr. and Mrs. B. G. Copeland. The younger of the two little ladies is apparently more devoted patron of the game than means anything, she has a decided pref erence for "Rowdy' Elliott. for she in variably claps when he goes to the bat. The two little girls have been the ob- jects of much curiosity among the people who do not know them. Sometimes both end sometimes only one is there, accom- panied by the most correct of nursemaids in crisp white cap and apron; and again their pretty mother, who is cousin, by the way, of MT. Robert Baugh. the pres dents of the Baseball association, Is with them and with her blond hair shining In the sun looks the very spirit of summer in pink and blue frocks and big white hats There are two little red-headed toys whom one always sees, one on each side of his father They are almost the same size and precisely alike except that one has reached the age of long black stockings and the other clngs to his little white socks. They are funny little fel lows, but they watch every play very gravely and apparently with much dis elimination
 Judge and Mrs. William I. Grubb mos tor out, accompanied always by a party of friends, and watch every game with great enthusiasm. MT. and Mrs. Lee Clary are also frequently noted on the grandstand and few things prevent the appearance of Mir. and Mrs. L. J. Haley.

Mrs. Eugene Brown and Mrs. Frank Fowlkes witness almost ev- cry game, and Mir. Wilson Browns char acterstlcs, one may say. are triple raconteur, bridge and baseball fiend
 Mrs. J. w. Mcqueen welcomes every return of the team and is a regular at- tendant at the games. She is often ac- companied by her sister, Mrs. Pickens, who, by the way, Is one of the best-in- formed feminine fans in Birmingham. Mrs. J, E.

Samuel Blake and Mir George Tarrant, three county off cials, each of whom watches the game with his characteristic appreciation, Miss Maud Davis and Miss Belle Conner, two supervisors in the public schools.
