 Bowen has had several years experience in the Virginia league. and if he lives up to his recommendations he will make Molesworth a valuable man.
 Another player with whom the fans were pleased yesterday afternoon was Gygil. deed. He can circle the bases almost in record time, and looks like ball player.
 Young Johkers, the young catcher who will be thoroughly tried out resembles in many respects Mig" Clark, the old Southern league catcher, who Is now with Cleveland. His movement in throw ing to bases. too, is very similar to the big leaguers
 Paddy Kane looks the aggressive ball player that he is. He is full of life and ginger. and appears perfectly willing to get into harness. Kane. as is known, caught 100 games for Binghampton last season, and bears no marks as result l of the gruelling season.
 He states that while he has done very little practice work, it will require but a very few days to get in perfect form
 McGilvray. though a heavy man, indi- cated yesterday that he has considerable speed. He will be able to beat out hits to the inf1eld. McGilvray stated yester- day that he has a system in using bats which has always worked we'll
 Tn the beginning of the year" he stated, T used an average weight stick and choke it. As the season advances the speed of the pitchers increases and the WpiQbf of m fp ton. I find that a light stick can be swung much quicker than a heavy oak and a quick swing, to hit a speedy pitch CT, is necessary"
 There must be something in McGilvray's S philosophy for although he has been playing baseball six years, he has never tottered below the 300 mark. When he refers to that fact, however. the hefty outfielder invariably raps on wood
 The pitchers, Bauer, Moore and Fle- harty, warmed up thoroughly yesterday but were too wise to heave them across the pan with any speed
 Fleharty still grns whenever he turns one across whether it is fast or slow. MoOre's action is widespread reminding in this respect of Harry Ables. He's a great big fellow, and his action indicates that he has vast amount of speed re- served.
 Bauer, having pitched couple of weeks before reporting, is in very good shape He states that he had a splendid winter hunting, during which time he killed four deer There are many deer in the Louis- jana woods stated the young fellow, "and we have rare sport hunting them"
 In case Bauer fails to go to the top of the ladder as pitcher he will make a rattling good outfielder And everyone in Birmingham knows that he can sting the ball, too.

TIE MOLLY CONTROVERSY

Yesterday Birmingham gained a twirler and lost one Grant schopp was landed and Rufus Molly went the way of the roses
 Sehopp is the southpaw whose name has been withheld. Last season he worked for Atlanta, and although the Crackers were very low in the race he won Il and lost Il of his games Toward the conclusion of the season he got leave of absence to visit his mother. who was very ill in Abilene, Kan, and Billy Smith gave him his release
 schopp's 1908 Record.
 schopp has worked for the Atlanta the last two seasons As is remembered, he pitched the game for Atlanta against Birmingham which cracked the 1907 sea- son. Birmingham beat him. but since that time he has had a full measure of ven- geance While sehopp is no Christy Mathewson, he is very nice little twirler, is exceedingly steady at all times and will make Birmingham a valuable player, 1t is thought
 The reason let Schopp go," stated Billy Smith to Molesworth in Mobile last month was due to the fact that we could not make runs behind him. He al- ways held opposing teams to few hits. but we couldn't make runs ourselves
 he Molly Case.
 By decision of Secretary Farrell, Molly has been awarded to East Liverpool. Molly, when Birmingham signed him, rep resented that he was a free agent He declared that East Liverpool went under in September and the players were not paid thir salaries that month. He made statement of his case to Farrell, but Farrell discovered that Molly had signed a receipt for full salary last year. Ae- cording to local impression, Molly was given paper to sign and he signed it, not noting carefully its contents. Whether 1t was a bunco game remains to be seen
 At the present time, at any rate, Molly is East Liverpool's player. The local club will make an investigation, however, and Molly may yet wear a local uniform. Last season he won IS and lost 12 games for East Liverpool, and seven of his defeats were by scores of 1 to O.
 So there was a dog fall on the devel- opments of the day Birmingham gained a good twirler and lost one.

Batting, running and fielding were in dulged in by the Baron recruits yester- day at West End park.
 The day dawned fair and the animal spirits of the men surged to the top and swept everything before them.
 The players spent the entire day at the park In the morning running and field ing was the chief attraction In the afternoon the men went through the reg ular routine Time after time each man circled the diamond and when o'clock arrived and the practice ended, everyone was feeling splendidly. About 100 spectators witnessed the prac- tice work in the afternoon.
 Johkers and Kane did the receiving and throwing at and from the plate. Gygli was on first. Bowen held second, with Ellam at short. Larsen and Hemp were stationed at short and took time about in receiving the drives. Moesworth and McGiivray were in the outtield, the other gaps having been filled in with pitchers Fleharty Bauer and Moore took turns in heaving them across the pan.
 The work was very neatly done, the players showing speed. ability to throw rapidly and accurately and ability to run bases. At the plate each man stepped into the ball and drove it out with force. The days work pleased Manager Moles- worth and the spectators.
 T don't think I will have any trouble with my arm this season." stated Larsen, after he had thrown the ball many times. Last season when l trying for a berth in the Central league I withheld my speed, but when I did start every

 Young Hemp showed speed around third and ability to throw well. He made a good impression, too. at the bat. He hits with either his left or right side to the plate.
 It was learned yesterday that Hemp is a younger brother of "Ducky" Hemp, the old big league star, who is remem- bered wherever baseball is spoken.

 Ellam impressed the fans most favor ably. He covered an acre of ground and throws very prettlly to the bases. He is very fast on his feet in running bases, and hits well in practice.
 While at this season of the year very little can be gathered on which to form an accurate judgment, it is true, never theless, that Eilam shows form. He looks like a coming ballplayer
