THE LINEUP.
Game at $3.50 D. m.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

The Griffmen have a new outfield-
er who may make an impression
upon Manager Griffith sufficient to
allow Of his being added to the
teams roster.
From Winston-Salem, in the
North Carolina League, comes the
new outfelder, whose name is Bar
Der, and he has been hitting for 400
down there in the canebrakes. He
reported to the Old Fox today and
was looked over in the batting prac-
tice this afternoon before the game
with the Tigers. If he looks good
enough to be retained, he may be
played in right field. He is a big
fellow ,twenty-one years old, bats
left-handed, throws right-handed,
and is said to have speed enough for
the big show.

by the worlds champion Braves. Comp

pitchers working out against the Griff-
men in batting practice, but neither Will

an ambidexterous finger from Kinston,

Tigers and. all in all, did a good piect
