STEIN AND LAWRENCE TO MEET
 TONIGHT IN A RETURN FIGHT

the two met Friday, two weeks ago, they mixed well and fought like tigers. Neither stalled or avoided fighting and an enthusiastic crowd left the Athletic club after the fight.
 However, it has been stated that Law renee was not in his best shape and that he believed he could whip Stein with sufficient training. Since the last bout he has been working out daily and keeping in good shape. Should he be in better shape than upon the last occasion few fights will be more fierce. Stein, however, still believes that he is the better man of the two and intends to uphold his belief.
 The Clevelander will weigh in at 151 or 152 pounds, while Lawrence will tip the scales at 150. Lawrence is the larger of the two, while Stein is lower and stouter It seems as if Lawrence has the reach, also. The fight should be a hummer from the start.
 Before the main attraction of the even ing there will be several preliminarles. Secretary Miles has not announced who will enter the contests but it is thought that there will be two pugilistic exhibi- tons and one wrestling match The pre- liminaries will start at S:S0 o'clock.

Injuries may yet cause the stronger team to end below the weaker. The Philadelphia Nationals looked mighty good when the season opened. In fact many of the scribes predicted that the race would be between Philadelphia, New York and Chicago. However, at the present time it looks as if the Phil lies will endflow In the race
 Red" Dooin, star catcher and man. ager, is outsof the game with an acute attack of indigestion. It seems as if he will hardly be in shape before the sea son is nearly half over Alexander the star twirler of the Phillies, has implicit confidence in the manager and it seems as if he will not be effective working with any other receiver
 Besides the manager. Sherwood Ma gee. the star outhelder; Hans Lobert who has always proven 10 be a strong asset and Chalmers are out of the game and in the meanwhile things are not running to suit the Philadelphia people.
 Connie Mack is also troubled with i'm juries. His most dependable battery Jack Ccombs and Lapp is not in shape. eoombs was Macks best pitcher last season and it seems as if he will not be able to pitch before july l. coomDs broke ligament in his side.
 Among the other teams injuries have hurt but not so badly as with these two teams. With Wolverton, manag- ing at New York, however, bad luck has bafal1au ha tolI Wolter is i'll, "Gabby" Street and Birdie Cree are disabled and that is the way things are running for Harry Wolver- ton. So far the fIighlanders have won one game. Things have been breaking very badly.
 This big fellow Danzig, who is play ing fine ball for Montgomery, has had two trials in the majors. In 1909 he played with the Boston Amercans-or he tried for position on the team. The reason that he lost his job was caused by a bone"
 In one of the championship games Danzig had swatted safely ann was resting. on first base Harry Niles, who was formerly on the Baron team, was at the bat. He hit high fly to deep cen ter field and Danzig loafed at first base expecting the fly to be caught. But the fielder dropped the ball and then both runners started around the eircuit
 When the dust had cleared 1t was found that Niles was nearly home, while Danzig was just going to second. For this he was sent back to the bushes.
 Andy Ware, whom Billy Smith thinks is find, Is the subject of many tales. Last season Andy was 26 and he made his debut into professional ranks with Gadsden. He is said to have lived at Alabama City up until that time and had not even pitched away from the home diamond.
 However, Andy, or Andrew, is not the Reuben that one might think. In that hnstling city of Alabama City, he se- cured a bit of Knowledge and was quite smart fellow. When he started out

JUST GOSSIP ABOUT TEAMS,

1 to play with the Gadsden team he im- mediately showed something and was brought before the eyes of Billy Smith. He was secured for something over s2o0 and seems to be one of the best twirlers that Chattanooga has.
 It merely goes to show that material is right under smart managers eyes. covaleskie was secured for over ss0o0. More was bought for neat sum. The others had been bought for large sums but have never materialzed. Ware cost but s25o
 A Birmingham boy, Tutwiler, is leading off the batting order for Providence, in the International league, and is seemingly making good Last season he played in the Cotton states league, with the Hat tesburs team and batted .3SO. There are i ses eral other local products that are mak- ing good elsewhere. This is Tutwier's second year out.
 Birmingham is sending forth more pro fessional ball players than any southern city. Last season fully 20 players were turned out into professionals by the Ten nessee Coal and Iron company league at Fnsley. It will go on again this season with four teams. There were six teams last season.
 Although Al Demaree has been going splendidly, he has yet to go some more to get ahead of Wilhelm who pitched for the Barons in 1907. .'Kaiser" pitched U consecutive innings before an opposing team was able to get run across the plate. Demaree has pitched but S6 and il is very improbable that he will hold the teams which he will oppose soon without a run for 21 more innings. He will have to pitch exactly 9 innings in order to beat Wihelm's record.
 Mique Finn will cut his squad down to IA men before Sunday. This seems to mean that he will have to let Seitz go George Rohe has cnched his position on the initial corner and Rowan will be sent to the outield. Dunn has been doing nearly all of the catching for Mobile but Vance will be carried as second catcher.
 In the outfield Finn seems 10 have two corkng good men. .Beautiful Doll' Ja- cobsen, the 6 foot. inch player, and Maloney have demonstrated that they can slug, field and think. Both look like corners.
 By winning yesterday from Montgomery the Barons have annexed their fifth in New Orleans. The bold Barons romped in the last game of the double header Sunday. On Monday Bill Foxen twrled a victory. Tuesday Montgomery was de. feated Wednesday Montgomery was trounced. Thursday Montgomery was beaten.
 If this good thing should happen often there would be happiness in Birming- ham and gloom in Montgomery. While we do not want to belittle that good town, we would not be seriously surprised should the Billillens have a crowd of 30 people witnessing the game Friday. However, we do not include policemen, vendors and doorkeepers in the count. This might bring the attendance up to l5..
 Molesworth left for the majors to secure three baseball players last Saturday night His trip has seemingly done much good.
