This and tomorrow afternoon the boia Barons, rock ribbed and battle scarrea' encounter the ferocious Tigers of Detroit.
 Of the steel of the Barons, 1t is probable that tbe Tigers will prove worthy, for the latter. equally as prominently as me former. have served the general purpose of making bright the pages of history.
 And in history, the two have figured be- vond a shadow of a doubt despite the un- deniable fact that neither. up to thls good hour, has proved itself possessed or sufficient strength to land the champion ship of the world.
 With the Tigers comes Tyrus Raymond Cobb. He is southern born and bred anu has declared himself for oscar W. Un- derwood for the presidency. Therefore Cobb would be a favorite in Birmingham even had his battle stick never smashed a pellet over fence, or his seven league boots circled a plated diamond
 It is unnecessary to state that Cobb is generally said to tbe a greater baseball player than any other man who lives or has lived. He is perhaps, especially since he favors Underwood. At any rate, we shall see for ourselves this afternoon.
 Apparently. Cobb takes very little in terest in spring practice. There is hardly a need that he should, He Is always In good condition. His indulgence in 'The College Widow was his only backward step, and on good authority it comes that he has already repented of that error in many salty tears.
 As star in "The Merry Widow Cobb was in Birmingham last December. He was a star, unmistakably, for the pro gramme said as much. However, he did not star to any great extent, which indi- cates that to star is not always the func- tion of the star
 But so resourceful is the Georgia peach that he got away with the stunt though how he managed is difficult of explana- ton.
 One of the famous men in baseball Is Hughey Jennings, manager of the Tigers. He was good student, a good shortstop, a good manager, and would have made an excellent lawyer had he buried his tall ent of leadership.

SOUTHERN GOSSIP

Will someone kindly name the Mobile team, which now goes under the nick name of the Gulls? The Mobile news papers are appealing to the lovers of the sport to name the team. Although it is not known, it is thought that the Mobile management believes new name with the pew manager, Mique Finn. will help them to land up well in the race.
 The Mobile papers are inclosing ballot, and the name that is most popular will be used by the tribe of Finn. Someone has suggested to name the team the Mo- bile fish, but is hardly thought that it will be used. However, with a Finn for a pilot of the club, it seems very ap- propriate.
 Poor old Nashville is having an awful hard time in these days of everlasting rains. Although Il exhibition games have been scheduled, but one has been played The others have been postponed on ac- count of rain. The park at Nashville, termed the Sulphur Dell looks more like a swimming pool than ball park, from re- ports, and 1t seems like Bill Schwartz has adopted "hard luck' for middle name
 He is said to have strong team, how ever, and is looked to to finish up high. It seems as if he will have a good bat tery, to say the least for Earl F'leharty and aRowdy" Elliott are certainly good pair to pilot the Volunteers to victory. His men are in good condition in spite of the rain.
 After Birmingham outplayed the Cincin- nati Reds in every respect. the umpire chieftain, O'Day, grew quite sweet on the Barons. While in Memphis he said:
 ''The Barons look 100 per cent better than Charley Hemphills Atlanta bunch and I think 1t is a cinch that Molesworth's s team will finish ahead of Atlanta.
 "The Barons are a hustling crowd, with a powerful outfield, plenty of good men in the infield. and a string of capable pitchers. and I look for the club to go like a house a-fire when the Southern league season opens.
 This boy Messenger ought to bat about .3J0 this season, as he is embued with the idea that the White Sox did not give him a chance to show them what he could do. and he is determined to demon- strate. This, coupled with the fact that he is crackerjack batsman, means that he will be heard from when the race be- gins
 There is talk about Doc Johnston, a brother of Jimmy Johnston, being traded to the Cleveland team instead of Hyder Barr. Although Manager Charley Frank or Manager Harry Davis has not con firmed the report, it is said to come from a good source. Hohnhorst, the other first saeker, is not in good shape, and Barr has nor yet shown his hitting ability. Hohn- horst is said to have the call on Hyder, and it is probable that he will be kept However, many believe that Harry Davis will play again this season
