Montgomery, August 3.-tSpeciaL)-As
 a means of showing to the Montgomery
 Billikens their appreciation of the loyal fight being made by the team to regain second place in the Southern league lad
 der of fame fans of this city have agreed
 to have Montgomery day. celebrated
 here on Thursday, August 31. On that day the Birmingham Barons, who are fighting tooth and toe-nail' to displace New Orleans, will open their final series with the Billilxens in this city, three day engagement that will in all proba- bilty settle the question of superiority. The Montgomery team returns to this city on Saturday night from Chattanoo-
 ga and plays on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday against the Mobile Gulls. Then the series with Birmingham will come, and the royal fight for team su- periority.
 Railroads entering Montgomery have for the most agreed to give holiday rates on August 31, though several have not yet been heard from. A half holiday has been promised by the merchants of the city, all of which are expected to combine to make
 the occasion the greatest patriotic display since the memorable Montgomery day"
 of last year, when ground rules had to
 be established to hold the crowd in bounds
 Numerous fans of Birmingham who
 have been taken into the confidence here
 say that Birmingham will undoubtedly send down a banner crowd to spur their

 the position. He is a sensational fielder covers an immense amount of ground, is a good thrower, fine hitter and fast on the bases.
 Collins was given the preference over Lajoie on account of his speed. He cov- CTS more ground than Lajoie, and while he may not bat within 20 points of the Frenehman, he overcomes this by his work on the bases. He is brainy player and will fit in any company.
 Lord is wonderful third baseman. He is good on hard hit balls to his left or right fields bunts well and is a hustler every minute during the game. He Is a first-class hitter and fine base runner.
 Bush, at short, may not be as hard a hitter as some of the other shortstops, but he is a good waiter, gets on the bases often and is a flrst-class base runner He is sensational fielder
 Wagner would be an ideal man for the utility role on this team as he can play any of the infield positions. He can hit hard and for big man Is fast on the bases
 Crawford in right. Speaker in center and Cobb in left make trio in the outfield that cannot be equaled. They are fine fielders, good throwers and are among the leaders as batters and base runners. l do not hesitate to say that this out field is the very best in all departments that can be gotten together Magee is picked as utility outhelder, not alone because he is a fine outfelder, good thrower and fast on the bases, but because he is right-hand hitter and in case a left-hand pitcher was troublesome for some of the left-hand batsmen, he and Wagner could be used, making the team strong against left-handers as well as against right-handers.
 This team I have picked would be strong in fielding in every position :; strong in batting and the strongest and fastest collection of base runners in either league. I would like to see another team picked from the players in the two leagues and no matter who the players were l cannot see where they could hope to have any great success in winning against the team have picked.

JENNINGS SELECTS STARS
 FOR ALL-AMERICAN TEAM
By HUGH AMBROSE JENNINGS

Giving an opinion of the merits of the players in the major leagues or picking an all-star team from these organlza- tions, is difficult in view of the fact that l have to pick the men from the National league on the work they have done and what little I have seen of them on off days or in the fall of the year after the American league season closed.
 In selecting the men, I have tried to pick those who would form an ideal com bination; whose work as a team would bring the best results; they would make a team near my ideal of what baseball team should be, as any crowd that could be gotten together.
 This team would combine all of the ee- ments that go to make up a winner. There would be no doubt about it's suc- cess against any other team that might be picked, providing of course, the play CTS worked in harmony and did not be- come jealous of each other.
 In the catching department there can be no question as to the worth of the three men named. Bresnahan combines three qualifications seldom found in a catcher. He possesses courage, speed and brains, and being a good backstop as well as a good thrower would be a valuable man for any team in the country He is a frst-class hitter and fine base runner
 Dooin possesses all the Bresnahan qual- ties except speed. He is more gingery, is good thrower, works his pitchers with good judgment and Is wonderful judge of foul flies.
 Stanage Is the right build for a catch- CT. He has a good arm, works his pitch- CTS intelligently, and is. not afraid to throw the ball to any base to catch run ners mapping He is a good hitter. but not fast on the bases. He can catch every day.
 In Walsh I think I have selected one of the best, if not the best, pitcher in the country. He Is master of the spit ball and has good control and speed Being a big, strong man, he can work every third day. He fields his position in frst-class style and has lot of courage.
 Fucker is the only left-hander I have selected for the staff. He has fine con trol for Ieft-hander plenty of speed and a fine drop ball.
 Mathewson is a grand pitcher He is master of the situation and uses excel lent judgment in figuring the weakness of the batsmen who face him. His drop ball Is his strongest point although he has good speed and fair slow ball.
 Johnson possesses more speed than any other of the pitchers I have selected He as good curve ball, but his slow ball is just fair. He has good control and with the support behind the bat would prove to be wonder.
 | Bender is pitcher with good speed, fine curve and excellent control. He fields his position in grand style. | Chase on first would have no rival for

the aforementioned Billikens crossed the Barons and occupied second place They are leading the Baronial forces by the narrow margin of three percentage points. Unless Atlanta turns upon the Barons and beats them eonclusively in the series beginning today, and unless the Look outs, satisfied with winning a series from Birmingham, rest for the remainder of the week, Birmingham will probably have second place again before the dawning of the Sabbath
 However, affairs are very interesting just at this moment. New Orleans dropped one yesterday and but for the gratuities of HFlabby" Fleharty, would have dropped the second But Fleharty probably has a tender feeling for the Frankmen, and just couldn't see them lose double header. At any rate, they dropped a game, and if things work out smoothly, there will be, after all, a merry scramble for the pennant before the con- elusion of the race.
 Incidentally, Covaleskie gets credit for defeating the Barons yesterday. He was in old-fashioned Birmingham form. Of course, his victory was a fiul<e, inasmuch as he didn't work the entire game-but it was a victory just the same. It will probably give the terrible" Pole satis- faction, when, in a contemplative and retrospective mood, he reviews the pres ent season in the winds and frosts of winter, to remember that he inflicted upon the Baron arms one serious dent in the long campaign.

Our Noble Third Placers Once More HUG
POINTERS TO RANDOM

The smell of victory, the sight of blood at the kill, has a peculiar effect, it seems, on Pitcher Trough.
 Yesterday afternoon. for instance, in the eighth inning, after two men had been retired, he blew up. permitting Sentell and Murch to double in succession.
 He was strong at the beginning of the eighth, for he struck out Northern, one of the leagues leading swatsmen But at the very end, for some unknown rea- son, he weakened, and was driven from the box in the widest confusion. Before the very moment of his explosion he had everything He had made the Look outs resemble a bunch of dubs.
 Proughs spectacular "blows" are noth- ing new He has even produced more startling effect than that of yesterday Once upon 2 time he had Montgomery shut out, 1 to 0, after two men had been retired in the ninth-in the ninth.
 Had he not lost his cunning on these two occasions Birmingham would now be so close to the Pelicans that they would be piping the death song of bird land
 As 1t happens, however. the Barons are in third place. When the Billikens took advantage of the farcieal Atlanta Crack CTS and trounced them soundy-and they should have been trounced for presnmng to remain a part and parcel or the league

 Kent relieved Trough. and Covaleskie relieved Chappelle. The Pole was in marvellous form, and the Barons had no chance. He yielded but one hit. and that was a double by "Rowdy'' FL liott.
 In the eleventh Moran opened with a triple and was scored when Phelan fumbled a drive by Lister-which was, in reality, too hot to be handled ac- curately.
 There were no special fielding fea- tures The Barons were outplayed.
