 The all-fired confidence of the Baron boss Is shared by the sorrel-topped leader of the Phillies. T am not at all troubled" said Dooin. T am cer- tain that by the falling of darkness the claims of the Southern leaguers will have been shattered. Their boast ing reminds me of the stories of Doctor Cook"
 The game will begin at S:30 o'clock. It will be the first blood for the fans of Birmingham. and those who have hungered through the long winter, will flock to the field several hours in ad- vance of the scheduled beginning.
 Both managers will use their first line-ups. McGilvray, Marcan, Ellam and Phelan will be the innerworks for the bold Barons. Bransfield. Knabe, Doolan and Lobert will have in hand the honor of the Phillies.
