 Gadsden is getting a bad start. but Johnny Segle will have a good team in a short while. He has Ghaput. Davis and a few other twirlers, but1none have shown up so wonderfully we'll EuylSendall was released Thursday night after the game with Bessemer. Siegle needs catcher and another pitcher. However, he will soon be in the running, 1t is thought
 Harry Matthew's Rome team is right up with Bessemer, and it looks as if the erstwhle Baron receiver will be after the bunting Anniston does not appear so strong. while Selma and Huntsville will go well soon. Bessemer will have to be beat for the pennant.
 
 Little Jimmy Morgan wasi the hero of yesterday for the Pipemakers. In the first inning with our old friend Tom Kane twirling he lifted homer over left field fence with Heck, Ramage and Cochran on base. Gordon Hickman called up President Manasco last night and said that Morgans hit cleared left field fence at least 10 feet and that all four runners trotted in.
 However, there is something else about this home run proposition that seems to have helped. For the past two games Morgan had not secured a hit. On Thurs day just before the stores closed he went to one of the sporting goods stores in Gadsden and purchased bat. He an- nounced to Manager Hickman that he was tired of this mo hit business" and that he was going to lift the first ball that was pitched to him over the fence.
 He did 1t.
 It is expected that "Jawn" Cochran will buy three bats. while Andy Ramage will get at least four before the stores close tonight.
 Bessemer opens up again at Bessemer on Monday when she will meet Annston in three games. Tn view of the marvellous record that the Bessemer bunch has put up recently it is time for the Bessemer fans to show that they appreciate the good work and to show tho men that have put their money in the sport that they are willing to do their part There is no reason in the world why there should not be 2000 fans at every game during this series. Immediately after these three games Bessemer goes again on the read. Bessemer is on its mettle and 1t should show it's enthusiasm. If Birmingham had made as wonderful record this season as the Bessemer team has Rick Wood ward could not build stand that would l hold the fans. R.

Gadsden. April Special. )-Bes- semer won from the Steelmakers again today by hard hitting and by the cost ly errors on the part of Gadsden.
 Bessemer scored three runs in tho first inning when Bumgardner, first up, singled to center and was safe at second when Smith dropped the ball on Heck's easy grounder to short Both men scored when Morgan lifted the ball ever left field fence for home run. The drive was terrific one
 The Steelmakers marked the board in the third when Dayton. with nobody down, beat one out, Baker falling to cover the bag. Kane then hit one a mile a minute past first and both run ners advanced a base on a bad throw in from the outfield and scored a mo- rlcnt later when Walker doubled to left.
 The Marvels tallied again in the fifth V hen Bumgardner doubled to left and scored when Jackson dropped a high one from Andy Ramage's bat. Baker opened the seventh with a screaming double to center and went to third on "Bum's" out and scored when Heck doubled to center. Ramage skied out, but Morgan doubled, scoring Heck. Bessemer scored no more.

Baker Was Effective

Baker was effective at all stages and Kane pitched well, striking out nine men, The distinct feature was Nor san's circus catch of a liner off Wal ker's bat in the seventh. He was the star of the game, hitting double and 2. home run.
