TO MEET AUBURN
THURSDAY NIGHT

That will be great game of basketball
at the Athletic club Thursday night. Au-
burn has a good team; one that always
puts up a hard fight against Birming-
ham, whether they play well against any
other team or not. The Auburn alumni,
always loyal, will turn out in a body to
cheer the boys on. It will be remem-
bered that Auburn trimmed the local
bunch last year and they have an old
score to wipe out. Since their return
from Atlanta they have started work
in earnest again. Their fighting blood is
up, and they promise to win them all
from now on. They are not satisfied with
the two games played Atlanta, and two
more games will probably be arranged.
It is believed that Atlanta will welcome
another fight with the Birmingham Ath-
letic club. and the locals want to show
Atlanta that they can trim them on their
own floor.
The Auburn team has among its line
up several Birmingham boys. Bradley
STREET., of football fame, is playing guard
Earl Majors. old Y. M. c. A. star Is
playing center. Scarborough, Column
bus (Ga.) player, is captain and plays
forward. All these boys have played here
before and need no introduction. Re-
served seats are already on sale and are
going fast There is sure to be a big
crowd on hand.

stated here that HERE Meek, the big
Southern league cast-off, is being serious
Nv considered as the probable manager OF
the local team.
About the only objection that has been
made to Meek In the Southern league Is,
that he is too big to be fast. He Is sure
as fate behind the bat, can hit with the
best and has a good head for the game
and for the men who can play the game,
but he can't run bases. For this reason
II Is said, he has been farmed out &c
