The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-03-05


 Manager Carlton Molesworth has just about finished making up his slate and before the end of the approaching week the crack of the bat will be heard at West End and all eyes will be turned to- ward the shadow of the slagple. The players contracts call for their presence in Barontown on March 10 for practice. which is no further distant than next Thursday.
 Retaining in mind the idea that the To- cal association nay find it necessary 10 draw additional men with which to fill up weak places in the lineup of the 1910 Baron team, the above list represents the slate from which Manager Molesworth will pick this years team.
 Of course, at this stage of the season things have been in nowise shaped up and even Moley does not know just exact lv where he stands. However, the BaAon manager is of the opinion that he is pretty well rigged up for a start. He IS not claiming the pennant at this time, be- cause, he says, there will be plenty Of time to capture the rag after the season opens here on April II. While Moiey has the troubles that usually confront ba sebal leaders before the opening or each season he declares that matters are shaping themselves pretty well. and he expects to have things running smoothly by the time the season opens.
 Included in the list of players signed for this season by the local association there are a number of new names.
 Among the Pitchers
 Among the pitchers, Williams halls From the Central Kansas league, whence he comes with a good reputation Me 1igue is a promising youngster, an anna teur from Nashville. He is believed to have a great reputation ahead of him and Manager Molesworth will give him q thorough try-out. Lower is said to be a good man, who wes secured from Gin cinnati Wagner will no doubt prove one of the most effective twiriers for the Rarons this season. He was drafted by the New York Americans, but failed to come up to the required standard and Molesworth secured him. It is confidently believed that he will make an excellent man in this league. Of the old men of last season it will be noted that Fle- Earty Robinson, Bauer and Schopp will all return Both F1eharty and Robinson pitched consistent ball last season and they are popular. While Bauer and schopp stirred up no sensations they did fairly good work and better things are expected of them this season.
 Moxie Manuel Is giving trouble Moxfe has raised an argument about his salary and so far he has been unable to convince the association that he is worth it. or if he is that the club Is able to pay 1t. It Is stated that the salary limit will be stren- uously enforced this season, and in view of this the local association does not feel able to compensate Manuel for his labors as he would have them do. Manager Molesworth declares, however, that he be- lieves Moxie Will eventually come across The manager states that he is well pro- tected and does not believe Moxie can run away as easily as 1t will be for him to re. port.
 Gygli on first base is a good man. He came here last season and fell right into season as a whole, did very satisfactory work He is a hard worker as well as a capable player and he registered a fair batting average last year
 Marcan, the new second baseman, comes from Binghampton, N. Y. Just what va riety of work this man will deliver is not altogether doubtful. He is considered a heady player who carries his judgmen, around in it's proper place at all times. He Is an experienced man, and Manager Molesworth believes he will deliver the goods.
 At shortstop Newton will not be a stranger. He played with Atlanta last season and made himself reputation a. steady and safe infielder. While ht may not be in the lightning class he vii doubtless be able to get in the way oi
