 The Barons sat above the counters at headquarters and grumbled J. Dobbs, as- tute leader of the Montgomery Billikens, joining hands with staid B. Stickney, did Kirmess dance.

Kavanaugh, boss of the cir cult, two games will be played this after noon.
 First Game at 2:30
 The first will be begun at 2:SO o'clock, the second will follow the conclusion of the first. Both will be for bloode On account of the improbabilty of one team winning both ends of double bill, the visitors are elated in the hope that they will cop the series. Therefore, they will exert themselves not to win both, but to prevent the Barons from winning both
 The bold Barons, battle scared from many conflicts. dire and terrific, will go out after both. Manager Molesworth is exceedingly adverse to losing series on the home grounds, especially that series with which with a crack the season is opened.
 Boyd and Chaput
 It would cause little surprise were Man ager Molesworth to open with Boyd and finish Chaput. Manager Dobbs will work Herbert, righthander recently obtained from the Texas league, and will probably follow with Atchison. It is said that the latter is very anxious to face the Barons again.
 Following the games this afternoon, the Barons will take train for Montgomery in which city series will be started Sunday afternoon. From Montgomery the Barons go to Mobile, thence to New Or leans
