TENNIS AWARDS
 ARE DISCUSSED

New York, March 1S.-The executive committee of the United States National Lawn Tennis association met today at the Waldorf-Astoria to discuss tournament awards and open meetings.

SCORES MADE BY
 TRAP SHOOTERS

The regular weekly practice of the Bir- mingham Gun club was conducted at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon, and besides more than a score of shooters there was quite large crowd present to witness the practice.
 Chief interest in the shoot was cen tered in the work of John Warren, who had a straight run of 212 targets to his credit. Yesterday afternoon MT. Warren missed his fourteenth pigeon, which gave him a straight run of 225 targets.
 The local men are practicing for the Southern handicap, to be held in Colum- bus. Ga, early next month. The aver ages being made are considered good. New traps have been installed at the fair grounds and interest appears to be con- tinually growing in this branch of sport ing life.
 Following are the scores made yester- dav fternOOn.

MOI ELLSWORTH IS WELL PLEASED
 WITH THE SHOWING OF HIS MEN

Manager Carlton Molesworth is well pleased with the showing which the new Baron lineup has made. Moley is in the very best of spirits and, while he is mak- ing no premature claim on the pennant, he believes that the 1910 Baron team will stack well up with any other aggre- gation in the league.
 "T have a whole lot better team at present that I had last year." said the Baron manager last night, and with a fair run of luck the boys ought to do well.
 Newton arrived this morning. This completes my lineup and everything now appears to be working smoothly.
 When you take into consideration the fact that the boys have had only five or six days of practice in which to Timber up the showing made in the two games against the Athletics was commendable. The pitchers were all sore and more or less stiff and to this fact is attributed the one-sided nature of the final game against the Philadelphians.

Tt will take the Barons, like all ball players, fully four weeks to get in form. The youngsters may come around early, but the men who have been seasoned on the diamond will require little longer time.
 q anticipate no trouble this season. The infield is fast and that is big help. All of the men signed for this seasons s team showed up well at the bat last sea- son, the average, excluding the pitchers, being .256 per cent. This, l consider, a fair batting team
 Manager Molesworth was too modest to compliment his outfield, because he plays there. However the fans have had an opportunity to see how much ground Me- Bride, the sun gardener, can cover and if he gets his eye on the ball he will make valuable man. Local baseball en- thusiasts know the color of McGilvray's 8 work. As for Molesworth, in center, it is conceded that he can cover as much ground as any man in the league, and he is as sure as he is fast. He hit PIT last season, which is by no means bad.

NEWTON IS NOW
 WITH THE BARONS

Newton. Moley's shortstop. arrived in Birmingham yesterday morning after having been delayed several days en route to Slagtown.
 On his way south Newton was taken ill and was forced to temporarily dlscon- tinue his journey. He stopped In North Carolina and went to bed for day or two. However, his physician straight ened him out and the infielder reached Birmingham looking fine.
 Newton, it will be remembered, was se- cured from Atlanta by Manager Moles- worth. This player was not league leader last season, but he played consist ent ball throughout the year and hit above the average. Better things are ex- pected of him this season.

Athens VIII Have Team

Athens, March 1s.-(Special.)-Ath- ems is making arrangements for ball team this year to equal, if possible, the team she supported last year. Captain Briggs, who managed the team and who was to return, has rendered his resigna- ton on account of the fact that he is going into other lines of educational work which will require all his time. Dr. Green, who is to have the Greene Training school, has announced that he will organize and manage the team II the people will put up the money. He was with the team last year, and is a fine manager.

It was not a case of an off day with the Barons. The pitchers, Lower, Wil- Hams and Schopp. were simply not in condition, and the Philadephians trapped on their dins-dongs." If the twrlers had been working; well, Mack and his Athletics would have had the time of their lives. iA Hankee and Foreman both pitched fine ball and there is no way of getting around this confession.
 Molesworth's three-bagger in the eighth Aiming was probably one of the hardest hit balls that ever split the atmosphere at West End. The sphere might have been going yet if the right field fence had not been in the way.
 Umpire Chestnut says he holds no malice for the Barons. In calling Mack s foul a fair ball, Scott admits that he might have been mistaken and declares that even If it did let in two runs it didn't make much difference He also states that he is not trying for a perm anent berth in the Southern league. He's good natured about it all.
 While Emery has an error checked up ~ against him. the pebble was one of the Nxcusable kind. The youngster never N yed shortstop before in his life, he .sSgs, but he is doing fine work, never theless.
 They don't come too fast down the third base line for Dad" Larsen. This boy made some nice plays yesterday.
 Elliott, the stocky little Baron catcher. has more life in him than an India rubber ball. He will make fine man on the side line.
 All of the boys, and especially the pitchers. are complaining of sore arms. No, they haven't been vaccinated.
 Umpire Chestnut says it takes good man to successfully watch diamond full of ball players.
 McInnis, Connie Mack's shortstop. is 1ust about the fastest who ever worked on the West End diamond He goes after everything and gets most every thing that stays on the ground in his territory.
 Marcan, the Baron second baseman, and Houser. the big Athletic first baseman, ffe- good friends. They played in the New York State league together.

THE JEWISH HERALD

.
That there should be special troub-
lie of any kind with the admission of
Jewish immigrants will strike many
persons acquainted with immigration
conditions as extraordinary" accord
ing to the Fitchburg (Mass.) "Senti-
mel" THE Jewish immigration Infor-
nation Society, Familiarity spoken of
as the Jacob ii. Schiff Society, keeps
close watch upon the members of
the race that seek admission to this
country at the vlrious ports. At Gal
weston where the complaints have
been made it looks after their wants,
feeding and lodging them until they
find work. The decision of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor that
this care is in violation of the law
and must be stopped will cause many
citizens to wonder if the law, rather
than the practice, ought not to be
abandoned Jewish organizations have
done so much for the country in pro-
noting 40 welfare of their people
that they sould be encouraged and
commended for their activities. To
discourage them seems the height Of
folly if not of ingratitude."
Galveston, Texas, seems to have
been selected by the Jews who are
importing immigrants, as port
where the laws can be violated. easier
than New York. The government
has refused admission to about 100
Jewish immigrants, who come within
the excluded lists, and has given no.
tice that hereafter laws will be en-,
forced as strictly in Galveston as in
New York. The Jewish banker, jacob
H. Schiff, will appeal the cases. The
money OF the Jews will be used 10 get
their immigrants in. The Jewish I'M
migration Society is bringing over
Jews from all parts of the world
Journal and Messenger.
1t is doubtful if any one other than
the editor of the journal and Mes
senger" could have crowded such an
amount OF venomous misstatement
into the same space There is not a
single assertion made by him which
is not a direct and wilful perversion OF
the truth. The Jews have never acted
in concert in attempting to secure the
entrance of Jews into the United
States; they have never sought to
evade the immigration laws the In
migrants Information Society is for
the diversion of immigration from the
cOngeSteu centefS TO the Soutn, ana IL
has neither aided nor assisted immi-
grafton abroad; Jacob H. Schiff has
nothing whatever to do with the So
ciety and has taken no part whatever
in the work of the society nor in the
alleged appeal Of the cases; the mon
ely of the Jews will not be used to get
their immigrants in, and has never
been used for such purpose, and final
ly, there is no such thing as the Jew
ish immigration Society" nor is there
any Jewish organization with such an
aim. This latest attack on the Jews
by the journal anu Messenger" is
