Manager Hickman announced yester- day that he had signed a young catch CT named Terrell for tryout with the Bessemer team. He came to Hickman highly recommended by Rick Wood ward and although he has never played professional ball he looks very good. Yesterday he practiced with the Bes- semer team and showed up wonder fully well.
 He had a lot of pepper and many managers believe that this will help greatly in catcher. His arm seems to be excellent as he shoots them to the keystone like a bullet. In all. he looks very promising and Hickman will open up the season with Terrell behind the plate. As yet he has had no chance to get a line on the receivers slug ging ability, but he is said to he a very good hitter. He is already in fair shape and will be in good con dition to catch the opening game Mon day.
 President Manasco announced that the grandstand and grounds would be completed on time and that every part of the field would be in perfect con dition. The grandstand was practically completed yesterday and the bleachers will be finished this afternoon. A press ! box Is being erected and the grounds | look to be in good shape.

NEW WHITE WAY"
 PLANS PRESENTED
Believed Twentieth Street Will Soon Have the
 New Lights

Louis Gelders, who has been advocating continuance of the great white way on Twentieth street from the Louisville and Nashville depot to Capitol park, and the illumination of the park by the addi- tion of number of electric lights, pre- scented his plans to the city commission CTS at the meeting held yesterday but no action was taken, as Commissioner Weatherly. in whose department this matter comes, Is absent from the city. The matter was passed until Tuesday.
 Mir Gelders is much interested in the matter and has secured the consent of practically all the property holders on Twentieth street for the installation of the white way at such places where the lights have not already been placed. He is very confident of the passage of his measure and predicts the white way will be installed.
 There are many of the opinion that If the plans of MT. Gelders are carried through it will' make Capitol park and Twentieth street one of the biggest at- fractions of the city.
