POINTERS TO RANDOM
DOOIN

Beaten by the very fans to whom he called for assistance, stinging under the figurative lash of every baseball scribe in the territory of the Southern league. laughed out of court and countenance by the better element of Birmingham's baseball fraternity, the esteemed contem- porary of the afternon field flies in his rage and ungovernable fury to battle us in a flood of vitriol and vituperation.
 As it might be recalled, the cause of the trenchant diatribe was the statement of The Age-Herald yesterday morning that anonymous communications might be produced at will not far from the scene of publication, and the additional statement that two gentlemen, MT. Mohsberg,- a Birmingham fan, at the present time hay ing residence in New Orleans, and cer- tain MT. Brown "a well known gentleman Of Birmingham, had complained to us that their arguments in reference to the ability of Manager Molesworth had failed to appear in the "usual channels
 It may be recalled, furthermore, that the aforementioned contemporary, in his fume of yesterday afternoon, denied that MT. Mohsberg, a Birmingham fan, who now has residence in New Orleans, and MT. Brown, well known gentleman of Birmingham, had offered their opinion of the present situation, stating:
 If such persons exist save in his ready imagination, they have not, upA to the present moment, favored the Birming- ham News with contributions on the Moesworth matter"
 And furthermore, 1t may be recalled that on page seven, and in column No. ? of yesterday afternoons News the aforementioned contemporary did publish under the nom-de- plume, Birmingham Fan in New Orleans" the letter of Mr. Mohsbergs which on the preceding page he denied that he had received.
 In reference to the letter of MT. Brown. which the aforementioned scribe denied having received, we beg leave to state that MT Brown informed us that he had sent such communication, and there fore he did. In regard to MT. Brown, we desire to state that in our opinion he is man sans reproache sans peur, which in our own language is-an honorable gen. tleman.
 In order that the esteemed contem- porary may no longer have an excuse in refraining from producing the contribution of Mr. Brown, we herewith furnish him the available copy:

Mr Molesworth' for several reasons, but
 we must consider the welfare of the team
 before starting such a column as you have
 started: therefore I consider you are not
 only taking advantage of MT. Moles-
 worths position, but with a team made
 up of young players you would cause trouble in the ranks by such action. Young players no doubt would think their
 atcions on the ball field would be upheld by the fans with all this newspaper talk going on
 "2 I consider you are dickering with a subject that concerns the stockholders of
 the team, who have shown their ability
 to manage the affairs since MT. Wood
 ward has had charge. Would the Bir- mingham News pay any attention to a column being run in the other two dailies with a heading line like. this: Is Hanson Capable to Manage the News"
 "3 We have a team that has been in the first division all the season and in-
 stead of causing all of this talk ma tority of the fans and players think you should use the space to help boost the team.
 '4 Leave the management of the team for 1912 to Messrs Baugh and Woodward and use the space now being used to knock a player who is utterly powerless to defend himself, to furnishing the fans a little more dope Yours very truly, (signed) "B. G. BROWN"
 The letter of MT. Mohsberg, which the
 esteemed contemporary published, though
 he had not received it, follows: New Orleans, July 23, 1911.
 Sporting Editor The News:
 Dear Sir: l note from your paper and also articles in other papers soliciting suggestions enc way or the other as to
 Manager Molesworth's ability as a man. ager. You ask is he capable of manag- ing the 1912 team for the Birmingham as- scciation. l say yes, and twice yes. Any man that can keep team in the first division, not mentioning third place after going half the season before he has his regular lineup in the game ought to be
 not only signed up for the 1912 manager ship, but signed up for five years in ad- vance.
 Day after day men were hurt and laid up: he even lost seven men the first ten days of the season. but he still fought
 gamely with pitchers in the field, catchers in the field, and hardly four men in their regular positions
 "I am surprised at anyone thinking of
 saying anything against Molesworth as a manager There are teams in the South ern league l dare say that cost twice as much as the Birmingham team and have
 not had anything like the hard luck the
 Barons have. had; for instance, Chatta-
 nooga i. I live in New Orleans, but am a Birmingham fan from the word go and pull day after day for them You may print this if you desire. Here's hoping the Barons finish second. if not first, and Moley will be. their manager in 1912, and also for some time to come. Respect fully.
