P|TTSBURG SQUAD PLAYS SNAPPY GAME Ten-Inning Battle Features Yesterdays Practice at
 Redwood

Yesterday the Pittsburg Pirates played
 snappy 10-inning game at Redwood and
 some real baseball was in evidence. The
 squad was divided into two teams and
 the regulars bear the Yannigans by the
 narrow margin of 5 to f.
 The battle between Safer and Mollwltz
 for first base is one of the features of
 the Pirate training season. Cutshaw has Hook on the keystone job and Caton is regarded as the best bet at short al though Terry, the Pacific coast wonder and Waiter Barbare are both corners. At third Boeckle seems to have the call. The outfield. composed of south worth, Stengle and Carey, will prooaply remain intact, but that boy King looks about as nifty as any player seen at Redwood this season.
 Manager Bezdek is delighted with the weather he has found here and is also much pleased with the condition of Rick wood field. It is hoped that the smoky | City aggregation will make Birmingham their regular training field.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS

V A civil service examination for men
 only will be held by Secretary Lewis Mill
 ton of the local civil service board, on
 April F. This examination will be held
 for the position of clerk-carrier at the
 Bessemer postoffice, and is to augment
 the eligible list At present there are no
 men on the eligible list, as for several years the position has not proven suffi- ciently attractive at the salary paid to induce many applicants. But the en- trance salary for clerks has been re- gently raised to $S00 and the maximum fixed at $500, so it is expected that more applications will be made for the posi- tions.
