A FTEk light practice yes o terday afternoon the Bar \ ons prepared for the rapid journey to New Orleans. and at 10:20 o'clock last night the fol- lowing players, officials and scribes started on the invasion to the Crescent City: Pitchers John son, Hardgrove, Grimes and Rob ertson: Catehers Hale and Wallace; Infielders Carroll, Coombs, Ellam and Hemingway; Outfielders Sloane, Magee and Mcbride; Robert Baugh, president of the league; Robert W. Tyson, secretary of the Birmingham club, Richard k. Lussier and H. c. Vance, sporting writers, will also accompany the team.
 The Barons arrive in New Orleans this morning about s:s0 o'clock and will immediately go to their hotel for few hours rest prior to the game. Immediately following the battle this afternoon the Barons at once board the train back to Bir- mingham and will arrive in the city at 6:s0 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Everyone of the Barons is in shape for the opening of the season, and Lord Cecil Coombs has his trusty bludgeon ready for a timely blow.
 The only Barons left behind are Red" Stewart, Dave Roth and Karl Black.
 There is possibility that Roth may pitch the opening game in Bir- mingham as the big spitballer is in excellent shape.
 As the Barons left the Terminal station last night they informed their friends that they were positive of coming home with victory However, with Jim Bagby or Clar- ence Smith pitching for New Or leans some timely batting will have to be done by the Baronial athletes to win.

 President W. D. smith stated last night the latest report from the Chamber of Commerce was that the seat sale was well over 10000 and that he was positive that the slogan, 10000 or bust" would win.
 In New Orleans they have a new park to tempt the fans, and in At lanta just the appeal to civic pride, but in Birmingham We have a pen nant winner-and it is the duty of the fans to come out to Redwood field tomorrow afternoon and cele- brate the victory of last season.
 The latest report from the front is to the effect that the Newspaper club is slightly in the lead over the Athletic club in the sale of base ball tickets. However, the Chamber organizations dashed to the mast when it comes to getting rid of the pasteboards

Complimentary

From the Youths Companion.
 Gebhard Von Butcher, the famous .Frus- sian general field marshal, had as surg con major of his army a man who was very homely but extremely proud and vain.
 One day, says Novellen-Schatz, Butcher entered the surgeons tent and found him starding before a looking glass arrang- ing his toilet and admiring himself gen. orally.
 Doctor" said Butcher laughfngly, "l suppose that you are the ,ilckiest man in the world.''
 "How's that sir, may I ask?'
 "Why, here you are quite in love with yourself, and you haven't single rival!'

Rural Teachers Homes

From the New York Evening Post.
 Teachers cottages are one of the lat est developments in education. They are rapidly passing out of the experi- mental stage, however; the state of Washington has more than a hunored and Texas is approaching that number. The plan has been devised as a result of the difficulty Of providing living ar- engagements for teachers in rural sec tions. Boarding round" is no longer popular with either teacher or neighbor- hood. Then there are certain advantages connected with the cottage. It gives a desirable permanency to the position, which is beneficial to the community as well as to the teacher; and when 1t is located near the schoolhouse it affords opportunity for work in domestic science. One county in Alabama has completed It's sixth home for rural teachers. In one town the cottage was built by popular subscription, has six acres of land at- tached to 1t and Is occupied by the teach CT at a nominal rental. In some of these cottages several teachers live to- gether upon a basis of cooperative house. keeping. It is claimed for the cottage system that by making rural life more attractive the lack of male teachers is being to some extent supplied.

Early to Rise

From the Youths Companion.
 The excitement of the biggest wheat crop he had ever grown led farmer near Winfield. Kan, to rouse his men at o'clock in the morning on the first day of the harvest.
 One Ozark "hill billy" who had sought work in the western wheat fields, tum- bled out of bed at the farmers call, and was eagerly eating breakfast when his fellow workmen appeared. After he had stnwed away a quantity of hot cakes, four fried eggs and two cups of cofree. he arose from the table and grabbed his suit case. The farmer caught the gleam Of the wanderlust in his eye.
 Look here." he said, in alarm, where are you startin' to?''
 The ''hill billy did not stop. but call- ed back over his shoulder:
 ITO find some decent place where 1 e'n sleep the rest of the night!'

PRESIDENT BAUGH
 IS OPTIMISTIC

We are on the eve of the fifteenth season of this organization, and my one regret is that the late President William Kavanaugh, who did so much for this league, is not with us this year. However, I am here to do my utmost as his successor.
 Every club in the Southern associa- tion appears stronger this season than last. And this despite radical cut in the salary limit. We begin the fifteenth season and the first under my executive charge under the best of conditions. The south is showing a healthful return to prosperous condi- tions and the public is eager for base ball. And we are going to give the fans the best baseball the soutn mas ever had this season.
 As to Federal league opposition there is none. The Federal league has never troubled the Southern associa- tion-in fact has helped it. The Fed eral league is the cause of so many high class ball players being adrift so that even with our reduced salary limit the Southern association has its quota of fast and brainy players this season. And before the season is very old 1 anticiapte that many of the cast-offs of the majors will drift into the Southern thus making the league one of the fastest minor organizations in the country. We begin the sea- son tomorrow very auspiciously, as the outlook for organized baseball was never better.''
 President w. D. Smith of the Birming ham Baseball association would not mak the New Orleans trip, and will remain il the city to attend to the final details fo the opening on Wednesday when tn Barons meet the Mobile Gulls.
 It became known yesterday that ar had been made whereby 40 of the loyal fans of Mobile were cominj to Birmingham for the opening game President Smith stated last night tn more the better.
 The curtain which has hung owe Southern baseball for over six month will be thrown aside this afternoon. Put for the old sunshine.

BAUGH ASSIGNS
 LEAGUE UMPIRES

As to the assignments of the umpires. Scott Chestnut and Jack O'Toole will open the season in New Orleans; Theodore Breitenstein in Mobile, Daniel Pfenningef in Memphis and Jack Kerin and F. F. Rudderham in Nashville
 Yesterday morning all the umpires re- ceived their final instructions by Presi- dent Robert H. Baugh and received their assignments at the hands of Secretary Matt Stradford. Following the meeting, President Baugh had his staff of arbiters to lunch at the Birmingham Newspaper club.
 The gist of the meeting of the umpires Yesterday morning was that the game should be speeded up this season. Foul balls either In right or left fields which will apparently take sometime to recover will be declared out of play and the um- pre is instructed to place a new ball i'm mediately in the game. The arbiters are also instructed to have a batter standing within 20 feet of the hitter in order that there will be no possible delay in changing batters. No players will be al- with the umpires and the field captain will be allowed very little to say. The umpires were instructed to be firm in everything and to enforce order on the playing field. The umpires were also re- quested to see that adequate police pro- tection was furnished at every park.
 Before leaving for New Orleans last night, President Robert H. Baugh said:

THE BASEBALL GUMP
 By Herbert Vaughn There Is many a bump For the baseball gump Who is bent on making the team. Life isn't all fun For the son-of-a-gun Who dreams the baseball dream. The jolts and the jars, The bruises and scars, May not be as bad as they seem, But it takes lot of grit, And some git-up- and-git, To stay on a baseball team. So when big guy Gets beaned in the eye He swears it's a trifle quite tame. Why, no, he'll not quit, And he'll have duck fit If he fails to get in the next game.

Ing advantageously for our bat
teriee.
'In the region OF Soupir we yes-
terday morning occupied very bril-
liantly Hill 1872 Three times dur
ing the day the enemy delivered vio-
lent oounterattacks. Bach time
they were repulsed. Our gain is
represented by three lines OF Cor
man trenches along q front Of coo
metres. The enemy, not having been
