FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

After their last two victories, the East Birmingham team have visions of pen- nant prospects and are now after the gonfalon Manager Nall has lively bunch of youngsters, and says his team will be feared from now on as dangerous opponents.
 As cleanup men. Manager Nall has four bad sluggers. B. and J. Corners, Henry Whitfield, Brown and Campbell are all hitters that the hurers dread to face. B. Corners is leading his comrades now. and is showing them how to swat the pill. The East Birmingham boys are in third position in the Recreation league.
 All of the managers of the Recreation league are requested to meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the city hall The necessity of making a change in the schedule and other important matters will come up be- fore the amateur leaders.
 A lively contest is promised this Setur- day when Mineral Springs and Brookside meet. Should Brookside come out the
