Birmingham will open up this afternoon
in Chattanooga for a series of three
games. The team will have the added
strength of Manager Haller and the new
catcher, Blue, who reported Saturday in
Nashville. Every effort will be made to
capture at least two out of the three
?amcs. If the team Is able to make this
number it will return from the trip with
four out of nine games played.
Frank Smith will probably be In the
box for the first game. He rested up
Saturday and yesterday, ^md will be In
shape to pitch a good game. In case he
is not able to hold out for the entire
game, owing to soreness and over-work,
he will he relieved by Lipp or Denver.
The second game will probably be pitch
ed by Dipp, while Wilhelm will do the
work in the last game If he returns in
time to get on the rubber. Blue will be
placed behind the bat for the first game.
If he Is in condition he will probably do
the work In other games.
Team in Fair Condition.
With the exception of the pitching
staff, Blrmlnghnm Is now in fair condi
tion. Manager Haller will play first base,
while Sorber has recovered sufficiently
to get In the game In the field. If he does
not piny the outfield will made up of
Longley, Billie Smith and O'Hare. La
Rocque, Moss and Warren will do the
second, short and third positions. This
gives the team as much strength, if not
more, than when It left Birmingham for
the nine games.
Billie Campbell will leave this morning
for Dlthia Springs where he will rest for
ten days. It 1b believed that writh this
rest he will be In shape to go back in the
game and do such work as he did in
the game he pitched against the Cleve
land Blue Birds. Down at the summer
resort he will have nothing to do, but
drink lithla water and lounge about the
hotels and under the shade trees.
From Chattanooga the team will return
to Birmingham Thursday and open at
home for a series of fifteen games. At
lanta will be the first team with whom
we will wrestle. Then New Orleans, the
leaders, will come for three. Following
the Pelicans will coroe all the other
Western teams.
Some Good Baseball Stories.
Daddy LaRocque’s home run through a
hole In the fence at Nashville was a
starter for a 9tream of reminiscences
told by the old players around the ho
tels Saturday night. Sorber led off with
a story of his experience in a game in
North Carolina last season. He said the
score was close and while he was playing
in deep left Held an opposing batter hit
a line drive with terrific force which
struck in a hole which had been dug un
der the fence. He reached after the ball
and got it in his fingers but the hole*was
too small to permit his fist and the ball
coming through. While the runner was
tearing around the bases “Sox'* was dig
ging with all his might to pull his fist
through the hole but he made an utter
failure and the opposing team won the
game.
LaRocque Tells a Good One.
Daddy LaRocque, who was sitting near
pulling on a long stogie, went him one
better and told the following story:
“We were playing in Lancaster about
ten years ago and one of the batters hit
a long fly nearly to center field fence, and
the ball hit squarely In the end of an
old tomorto can w'hich had been thrown
from the club house several days ago. The
rough edges were driven in by the force
of the ball and the fielder after several
efforts failed to pull It out. In desperation
he threw tomato can and all into the in
field and you would have died laughing
to see the shortstop chasing after the
runner trying to touch him with the old
tomato can.”
I’mpire Ed Cline, who was an interested
listener, came across with this one:
“I wont swear to this but Joe Veitch
says it is true and you can take it for its
worth. Joe was playing out in ’Frisco
and tlie score was tied. 1 and 1. lie got a
good straight one and lined it out with
terrific force. The ball was hit so hard
it split in tw'o, one half going over the
fence and the other dropping inside. The
fielder picked up the half which fell Inside
and sailed It in home. The catcher caught
Joe about three feet from the place and
touched Rim with the half ball. The um
pire gave the game to Joe’s side by the
score of 1ft to 1, claiming that he Was en
titled to a half home run and was only
half out.

| .Food for the Fans. I
Manager Frank Haller will leave this
morning for Chattanooga to join the
team, which will play there for the com
ing three days. He will hold down first
base. Ballentyne having been suspended
Indefinitely for leaving the game Friday
afternoon. With Haller in the game it
is expected the team will show material
improvement.
Fans will have the opportunity of hear
ing the details of the first game with
Chattanooga this afternoon at the Ap
polo billiard hall in Twentieth street.
Every play will be reported just as it
is made on the diamond, and the score
by innings of other Southern League
games will be received.
The University High School and the
Birmingham High School will play a
game Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock
at West End Park. The two teams have
some very fast amateurs In their line-ups
and the game will be hotly contested
from beginning to end. An admission of
15 cents will be charged.
McJCenna, the little left-hand pitcher
who was signed for Birmingham this sea
son. has recently added his name to a
contract with the Lake Charles Grays
and will pitch down in Louisiana during
the season.
Mr. W. J. Brazeal is with the team
looking after the financial end of the
game. He joined the boys the second
day out in Atlanta and will not return
until Thursday, when the players come
home to open with Atlanta and remain
here for fifteen games.
The suspension of George Leidy, At
lanta's centerfielder, Is expected to have
a good effect on the team from the Gate
[ City, which has started out in a vray to
secure a reputation as the rowd est set
of players m the league. Leiay hah de
veloped this kicking habit sonwhet un
der the management of AT. J atpf. for
when be was on the Birmingham team
he only kicked when decisl jns a fl eeting
nini i t-raoi illy were made.
The laying out of the game on account
of sickness of “Sox’’ Sorber has afTected
the playing of the team no little. Sorber
is a fast fielder and good with the stick.
He will probably round into condition in
a few' days.
Frank Smith Is developing Into one of
the best hitters In the league. It Is pos
sible Manager, Haller will make a deci
sion about him similar to that made by
Fisher in regard to Hill—"he Is too good
an all-around player and batter to pitch"
and place Smitty in the field for good and
keeps, sending him In the box only when
It becomes necessary to relieve another
pitcher. This hus been suggested to the
management by a number of fans who
have watched his work.
Billie Smith is also getting his eye
square on the ball. He Is hitting like a
fiend, and if he rounds into condition in
his field work he will again become one of
the local heroes.
Longley Is fast making good In the field.
He played in each of the three games
at Nashville and was always found ready
when It came to swinging the bat and
getting a high fly. His sale by president
Peter- made It necessary for Bailey to go
Into center Saturday when Leldy was
sent to the bench by President of the
League Nlcklin.
Dad LaRocque continues to play a star
game at second. He Is moving so fast
in that position he will be lost when he
returns to first in case Veltch returns to
his old place.
Wilhelm will be In the game by the
time the team returns here. Much sym
pathy has been expressed for the pitcher
on account of the death of his mother.
He has many friends in Birmingham
made by his earnest, quiet work.
Birmingham fans will be interested to
know that Cleveland has lost her star
pitcher, Dummy Taylor. He has jumped
to New York, where he was playing be
fore joining the American league bunch.
