POINTERS TO RANDOM

|
 The bold Barons slipped another under
 the belt of Manager Holmes of the Mobile Sesgulls yesterday afternoon, and today will probably win the f.ame which will put them again at the 800 mark. It Is strange what difference the com ing of Barr has made. One additional strong man has given the team renewed confidence, and tte bunch, which played during the New tOrleans series like an aggregation of aged angorss is going now like fireman to a conHaglntion. And when Ellam returns the confidence once again restored will be so boisterous that nothing save a,padded cell'ca hold it under restraint.
 The Barons and the GsIlls willvreturn to Baronvile this morning shortly after the clock has struck the eleventh bell. On the greensward in the batny afternoon the two will rush together. If we do not miss our guess the great and only Moxie Manuel will endeavor,to wrest the victory from the bold Barons, although it is pos s.ble that the Mexican senor will prefer to show tomorrow afternoon when the ladies will have an opportunity to flock in great numbers Manager Molesworth has not eonfided to us the name of his box man, but unless he prefers to give one of the youngsters an additional opportuni- ty 10 show his prowess, Major Fleharty will no doubt be chosen to scramble the eggs.
 At any rate the Barons are tho favor ties to win
 During the hurry of last week several
 matters on which we should have spoken got away. The first of these concerns the work of Jesse Tannehill. The old veteran looked good. He has a | surprising amount of speed His curve
 was quick and dangerous-at times wicked And his control was a thing over which to marvel
 To date, there has been no baseball weather. Some of thees days it's going
 to be hot enough to melt the nose of 8 ] brass monkey, and the hotter it gets the stronger should become Tannehin. In addition to all his other assets. Jess has the experience essential to first-rate fingers, and he knows what many
 younger and stronger men do not know,
 and that is how to pitch. | From the present outlook Tannehill has
 come to stay long time in Birmingham. | He should be second Breitenstein.
 Before the conclusion of the current week. Manager Molesworth will be com
 pelled to cut his team down to the limit
 of IS.

Anniston. May 7.--( Special )-An event which is probably without apar- allel in the history of league baseball transpired here Sunday morning when the Southeastern club of Anniston chose to attend special commencement sermon at the First Methodist church before leaving for Selma, where they will open on Monday afternoon in the first game of the league season.
 Rev. George Stoves, pastor of the church. who is one of the most devoted fans in Anniston, was the preacher, choosing as his subject, The Battle of Life" He drew his text from a let ter of Paul to the Corinthians, in which the apostle made reference to the OIympian games of Greece and drew therefrom a pretty lesson in regard to the Christian race.
 pr. Stoves, stated in concluding his sermon: q would not have you be mol lycoddles, young men, nor would l have you be long faced Christians, but l beseech you as you go forth to bat tie. be true, be noble, and reflect credit upon the city which you will represent. We want you to win and we want to hear good reports, words of victory come back to us of your efforts; but, above this, we want it to be said that the fellows who represent Anniston are gentlemanly Christian men,
 Dr. Stoves is Vanderbilt man and in the course of his address to the Models of manager Ford, who occu pied a front seat in the church, he held "a crr and baseball star, as a man who all ways earned a double need of glory from every conquest, that of having achieved in athletics and that of hav- ing conquered the fleshly appetites. He admonished the Models, to be clean and temperate stating that the doors of success are closed in every walk of fife to the man who ,dissipates his man hood. The key to success. he said, Is temperance and self denial .i.,s

Resources Of Miners When They Can
Neither Smoke Nor

II can match the story you were
telling of the cracker women in North
Carolina who use snuff by spreading
1t over the gums with a chewed stick
said the man from Alaska to the
southerner next him, "by telling how
miners and soldiers in Alaska tie to-
bacco In the arm pits or against their
collar plexus in place of taking it as a
smoke or chew.
When the wind Is blowing 80 miles
an hour and the temperature is 10 be-
low it Is some cold, they say out

ordinary way out of doors during such
weather and got his lips wet through
smoking a pipe or chewing he would
be apt to get into trouble. First thing
he knew he'd have his lips cracked
and they would be raw all winter long
THE regulars stationed at the mill
Cary posts up In Alaska found that if
ehey tied tobacco leaf in their arm
pit previous to Undesired duty they
would become very sick and could
pass the post surgeon for hospital, get
ting rid of detail work they wanted to
avoid
THE miners up there learned some
thing of this and found that the to-
bacco craving could be satisfied by
binding a quantity of the leaf either
In the armpit or against the solar
plexus. This avoided broken and
bleeding lips during the winter, and
they weren't prevented from smoking
INDOORS as well if they wanted to-. It
was the outdoor smoking or chewing
that made all the trouble

long Arctic winter among men who
spend their lives in the open. It is
the queerest way to use tobacco I
