I Inasmuch as Birmingham has
1 grown from a village - the
greatest city of the south in the
twinkle of an eye. it seems natural
that in baseball, speed is ana has
been for years the chief charac-
terigtie of the local club.
In regard to furnishing the lead
ing base "stealer" of the league,
Birmingham has established an
unique record. If Bob Messenger
maintains his present margin Bir-
mingham viii have claimed the
winner in this respect for six of the
IA seasons through which the
league has extended its history.
The most remarkable feature is
that the six victories will have
been scored in successive seasons.
The record is unapproachaole In
this or any other league when it
is taken into consideration that
no man established his superiority
in more than a single season.
Until 1908 Birmingham had per-
mitted other cities to cop the base
stealing records-and, despite the
fact that in 1906. the Barons won
the pennant. almost every other
record. In 1907 Neal Ball of Mont
gomery and George Paskert of At
lanta tied for base stealing hon
ors with an even so thefts. There
after and up to the present time
no other club has managed to OBJ
tain a look in."
In 1908 Tom Downey won the
base stealing honors. His score
was A. The runner-up was Frank
Gygli also of Birmingham. Downey
was third baseman and second base
man. a good fielder and a swat
master. Gygli was fine fclding
second baseman. Downey was
graduated into the National league
where he played for a season or
two. Gygli instead of going for
ward, retrograded
In 1909 Noah Henline won the
honors. His score was 49, Hen
line established his record chiefly
through his phenomenal speed He

MOBILE MAY PLAY TEXAS
LEAGUE CHAMPS SERIES
Southern League Champs Will Battle With Houston Club for
Title of South in Seven Game Series-Several
Mobile Players Unwilling

unable to participate In the series, and
it is believed that it will not be played.
Manager Finn, in Birmingham during the
past week, stated that the players were
considering the trip, but said they would
probably not meet the Texas champs.
However, Dave Robertson wired from
Chattanooga yesterday that the club was
still undecided and would reach a de-
cision after the present series. Whether
or not it will be played is a matter of
conjecture. Sound financial backing is
lacking, and this may cause a halt. The
Texas league closes at the same time the
Southern finishes.
