And 1t is absolutely compulsory that the Barons throw out dragnet and pull in real carat-standard, right handed twirler before the pitch crew is ready to set sail
 There is no catching problem.
 Whether 10 days of practice will swing the infield and outfield into further tangible shape remains to be seen.
 But 10 days of practice will not afford the additional pitcher necessary to hit a pace when the season opens here with the Volunteers, Wednesday, April fl.
 Right at this juncture Birming- ham has a team of only mediocre ability, but one better than last year, and one which is not going to finish in the cellar by any means.
 Stewart the new surprise box just purchased, is according good man. He is fast and safe enough for the most fastidious club manager in the South ern Association. He will run around second bag. "Stuffy" was obtained by the Philadelphia Nationals in a deal with Denver. Western League, where he played last year. He was with Jack sonville in the South Atlantic League  ida.
 Manager Molesworth released three men aturday-Pitchers Kirk and Fox and Outfielder Purcell all outright. The Baronial roster now is as fol- lows.

 As the Southern lineup looked in a midnight survey the teams should en- ter the race something like this:
 Nashville.
 Little Rock.
 Mobile.
 Chattanooga.
 Birmingham.
 Memphis.
 Atlanta.
 New Orleans.
 Johnnie Dobbs' Pelcans compose the most uncertain proposition in the bunch. He's carrying a regular over seas unit and doesn't know yet where he's at. Ten days ago the Pelicans looked good enough for second place.
 The Crackers form an unknown quan- tity. You may accept with about the same quantity of salt anything coming from the Cracker camp at Bay St. Louis as the story of Atlanta's great ness when told by the average citizen of that clustering burg.
 Nashville today has the best
 poised, definite, tangible baseball
 outfit in the Southern Association.
 But please do not accept this
 anly criterion for what the Vol
 unteers may be six weeks hence.
 Kid Elberfeld has gone over a flock of rockies with the critical eye of a cotton buyer looking over the seasons staple in Montgomery market. He has had a hefty bunch to select from, clipped 'em off here and there, in- creased, decreased, and made q few hocus pocus passes until he has pre- sented to Little Rock a real promising ball team. Chattanooga and Mobile fans appar entity are thoroughly satisfied with what they have. but in Mobile they are laboring under the delusion that Allan ta is the only team south of the Mason and Dixon line worth regarding as an antagonist.
 Memphis Is very near on par with Birmingham. after strengthening it's team the past week.

Famous "Fifty-Fifty" Partners.
Stage partnerships were common
thirty years ago. Today there are
few companies headed by stage part
ners. The famous combination Of
Montgomery and Stone was broken
by the formers death. Gone and for
gotten are the associations of Hallen
and Hart. Mathews and Bulger,
Ward and Vokes. Robson and Crane.
BY strange coincidence the only en-
during partnership is that which has
lasted longer than any other in stage
history. There is no parallel to the
combination of Mcintyre and Heath.
Since Nov. II, 1S47, James Nc
Intyre and Thomas, Heath have been
stage partners. Most of that time
they have been in vaudeville or war

days. Some years ago they starred in
