New Orleans III, Birmingham 104, At
lanta 80, Chattanooga oS Mobile o. Nasn-
vile 54, Memphis A. Montgomery 81.
Birmingham was ranged first by seven
of the writers.
New Orleans by six, Atlanta by TWO and
Mobile by one.
But in the picks where the two leaders
were not ranged first, the ranking of the
Pelicans was higher than the Barons, and
thus they were awarded the first position
in the composite ranking.
Memphis was ranged IN last place by six
writer's, Montgomery by six, Nashville by
two and Chattanooga and Mobile by one
each. Memphis beat out Montgomery IN
the race for last place the, same as New
Orleans beat out Birmingham.

From the New Orleans Item.
Considerable dope is being spilled
along the Southern league circuit regard
ing a possible winner for this years gon-
falon. To pick winner at this stage of
the game would be only a n..tter of a
guess. Civic pride and 4 few other favor
able things cause us TO put our own band
of ball tossers on top of the heap. This
choice is not altogether without grounds.
Franks proteges finished third in last
years sprint-next 60 Mobile and Brming-
ham. Birmingham has lost the majority
OF players who won the rag last season
that puts them out of the way. Atlanta
and Mobile are the teams to be reckoned
with by the Pes. With the addition of
Stevenson in the outer garden, Snedecor on
the initial sack. and few other changes
which tended to strengthen the team, New
Orleans fans are justified in counting on
the Pes finishing with nothing but space
above them.

While the raging Alabama river kept
the Barons from mixing with the Selma
Cotton States leaguers yesterday, Moley
led his pennant aspirants through a rather
strenuous workout at RiclSwood Field.
Said workout was in the form of a prac-
tice bout between the yannigans and the
regulars, the regulars winning the con-
test by a 6 to 0 score.
Hardgrove and Mayer did the battery
work for the regulars while Fittery and
Lage were assigned the duty of out
guessing the regular hitters. Both hurl-
ers showed up well In the contest. Fit
terry was touched at intervals, but his
support was not of the highest order.
On the other hand the regulars were in
fine trim and at no time were the young
sters dangerous.
The Barons looked exceedingly good
yesterday. The hard workouts with the
University of Alabama were not without
effect, judging by their work of yes
terday They appeared to work together
better than at any time this season,
and the old time inside game, which
played such an important part in their
efforts last season was seen oozing to
the surface. Carroll is falling into line
with McGilvray, ct al, and the infield
work is rapidly assuming the cloelSwork
smoothness that means brains and the
Birmingham '.get-together, pull-together"
spirit combined with natural baseball
ability will be in evidence in the in
field this season when the Barons face
the attacks of their Southern league
rivals.
In commenting upon the work of his
men yesterday, Molesworth took occa-
sion to put in word of praise for his
trio of hurling recruits, who are at pres
ent engaged in a warm fight for per-
manent berths. I.amline, Fittery and
Carl Thompson all look good to the Baron
manager. and already the baseball gray
matter in Moley's Uranium is somewhat
befuddled over the proposition of placing
one of these youngsters elsewhere. Incl
dentally, it might be mentioned that the
veterans hurlers are looking seriously to
youngsters be retained by the Baron man
ager.

About the only matters pertaining to
the local club of which anything definite
is known are the facts that the season Is
scheduled to start Thursday next, and
that Bill Barnard will handle the reins.
AS for the team itself. there Is not one de-
partment which can be regarded as ready
for the opening.
From the catching staff clear down to
the outfield there is at least one or more
positions that remain to be definitely
filled. Center field is open, second base

| tive and the pitching staff is almost GER

HUNTING MOOSE.
4 Nova Scotia Story That Carries an
Appropriate Moral.

A parsimonious sportsman, shooting
over some wild lands in Nova Scotia,
being desirious to bring down big
moose, started out to engage a guide
and moose caller. The usual pay of a
Nova Scotia guide is 81 day; but the
sportsman in question was too mean
TO pay the regular rates, and finding a
skillful guide, one Louis the Indian,
temporarily out of a job, after much
wrangling managed to jam him down
TO 81 a day, and the two started out
into the woods All the conditions
were favorable to finding a moose, but,
although each day before sunrise

cone, and placing it to his lips, whined
and grunted in imitation of a moose,

of effort without result, the sportsman

and, calling the guide to his tent, he
began to upbraid him.

this kind of business. Here we are in

A Remarkable Duel.

Perhaps the most singular duel ever
fought was one in which the hero was
a dog, and this duel was fought so
long ago, and the chronicler thereof
was so careless that the name Of this
gallant hero, except that he was call
ed the dog of Montarigis.' did not
appear though we have the name of his
antagonist. 1t happened in France,
this duel about the year 1880. A man
named Aubry had been murdered in
the forest of Hondy, near Paris. Aubry
had faithful dog. Unfortunately the
breed as we'll as the name Of this
four-footed friend is lost. After the
disappearance of his master the dog
every three or four days, for some
time, would come to the house Of his
masters intimate friend to be fed. One
day this friend followed the dog, and
was led by him to the forest of Bon
dy. Here the dog scratched away the
earth, disclosing the body of Monsieur
Aubry. From that time the dog would
never quit this friend, and it was no
ticed that whenever he met a man
named Macaire he would show every
sign of anger and once he flew upon
him, and was with difficulty taken off.
This caused Macaire to be suspected
of the murder of the man whose body
had been found in the forest, and a
duel was resolved upon by the authori-
ties to decide whether Macaiye was
guilty or not This was so different
from the French duel of today that an
immense throng of people crowded to
see it. The dog had his claws and a
good set of teeth More than this he
had a tub. to which he could withdraw
when he was weary. The man was only
to have a stick and shield. The
combat lasted so long that Macaire,
who had been severely bitten, tainted
from loss of blood, and later confess
ed that he was the murderer There is
no record that the dog said anything
to express his satisfaction, but doubt
less he was for nine days at least a
much admired dog and the talk OF
