In spite of the stories that ARE floating
about the circuit concerning the probable
lineup of the Barons next season. it
is a well known fact backed up by
statements of the local management. that
nothing up to this writing has been done
looking toward the new year.
OF course, 1t Is generally known that
the majority of the pennant winners wils
be returned, but the stories told about
the circuit relative to the further action
of this man or the plans of the manage
ment relative to that one. are all un-
founded.
The Atlanta Journal recently contained
a story anent the Barons to the effect
that Wordsworth had been given his re-
lease. and that he would go to the out
laws No release has been given, nor
asked for, and 1t is practically certain
that Molesworth's plans do not lead him
out of organized baseball, The same pa

WHO HAD FALLEN TO THE
BASEMENT.

E. g. Golf, engineer at Loveman, Joseph

point he fell from the top OF the car to

THE BARONS FROM EVERY
CLUB SAVE MEMPHIS WON

Why Birmingham won the pennant IS
shown In the fact that in the inter-club
series. the Barons were victorious in every
instance save one. In other words, Br-
mingham won a majority of the games
played from every club in the league save
Memphis. Montgomery and Nashville and
Little Rock were easy for the Barons,
while Atlanta, New Orleans and Shreve-
port were but a trifle weaker pickings.
From Atlanta, Birmingham won twelve
games and lost seven; from Little Rock,
won thirteen and lost six; from Memphis,
won seven and lost eleven; from Mont
gomery, won fifteen and lost five from
NASHVILLE, won sixteen and lost four; from
New Orleans, won eleven and lost eighth
from Shreveport. won twelve and lost five.
This tabulation shows that Birmingham
won eighty-six games and lost forty-six,
a percentage of $50. The figures are Off
cial.
Memphis won majority of the games
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-09-23

played from every club save New Orleans.
Little Rock, Nashville, New Orleans and
Shreveport were beaten by Atlanta. Little
Rock lost to every club save Nashville,
an even break occurring between the
two tailenders Montgomery won from
Little Rock, Nashville, Atlanta and New
Orleans, although the division in the ma
jority of instances was practically even.
Nashville lost to every club in the league
save Little Rock, with which aggrega-
tien an even break occurred, each team
winning and losing ten games. New Or
leans won from Little Rock, NASHVILLE and
Memphis, the Pelcans losing with every
eastern club. Shreveport won from Lit
tie Rock, Nashville. Montgomery and New
Orleans.
This dope is official, and can be figured
on Compare the winnings of the western
clubs against the eastern with the eastern
victories against the western.

WORDSWORTH MAY MANAGE
THE PRETZELS NEXT YEAR

Sporting circles have a report to the
effect that Charlton Molesworth, instead
of playing certerfeld for the Barons next
season, may manage the Pretzel team
down In Montgomery.
While this report is not official, 1t is
commonly known and generally believed.
1t is said that negotiations are on foot,
and all that is necessary to consummate
the deal is for the signatures of the two
sides to be attached to the document.
This report is to the effect that Moles-
worth is holding back for contract of
two years, it being the impression that
the popular fielder doubts his ability to
gather together pennant winner in the

cerned. Matthews has not been so in
formed. and even If such a step is in
tended, nothing Is known of it presently.
Meeks is a good catcher and can throw
splendidly to second and 1t may be that
the management will put him behind the
bat next season. though this, too, is not
positively known. In case Meeks goes
behind the bat. it is understood that an
effort to land Douglass of Little Rock,
for the initial sack, Will be made, though
this. too, is not positive. For the in
field, the Barons will return Walters, Cas-
tro, Oyler, Montgomery and Alcock. OF
that quintette of players, the necessary
three infelders can be easily picked. In
the outfield, it seems certain that Gear
and Smith will be returned, as will Moles-
worth, in case he does not manage Mont
gomery. 1t seems at this time certainty
that Wilhelm and Raglan will be returned
to the pitching staff and If there is any
thing in the report that Clark will not re-
turn on his own accord, it is unknown.
In case Sallee does not make good with
New York he will belong to Birmingham.
Bruner will be on hand. The management
will get at least another great pitcher.
The fans may rest at ease.
