The Baron manager is of the opinion that his slate will stack we'll up with those of the other Southern league teams. and with the ex- eeption of the question of catchers, every thing appears bright for Moley.
 Manager Molesworth states that if his players hold up their batting averages of last season, the 1910 Boron team will av- craze 2o6 per cent at the b3t, the pitchers not being included.
 It will be recalled Eat last season Me Gilvray swung bludgeon which netted him an average of .29S. Molesworth himself hit .2T. Gygli was by no means at the bottom of the Southern league list He swung his stick to the tune of .249 per cent. Elliott, one of the new catchers, who comes from the Central association, batted .27e last year. while Mcbride, who comes from New York state, and who will hold down the left garden. hit over .260. Marcan second baseman, was a mighty good man season before last. It will be recalled that last season ile was knocked time on the diamond.
