Barons Break Into Winning Column
Barr Permanent Fixture
 In The Baron Outfield
.ENSLEY LEAGUE

In the presence of over 1000 ardent fans to the strains of martial music played by the Italian band. amid the cheers of the great crowd and the shriek of steam whistles. Charles J. Barr, general super intendent of the steel mill and blast fur naces at Ensley, opened the baseball sea- son of the leagGe of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. Ensley di- vision, by pitching the first ball over the plate of the new ball park on Avenue C.. Like the days of yore, when he was the pride. of the diamond at Cornell uni- versity, he strode to the pitchers box, and winding up in approved style he put his POO pounds of bone and muscle be- hind the pellet and hurled it across the plate like shot from cannon. With such vchemence, force, and might" did he speed the ball through the air that it went clean over the grandstand and from late accounts it is going yet, for it has not been recovered.
 The initial of the new league games were thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd among whom were many ladies. The roofing was terrific and the roasting hot, and it is a safe bet that more varle- ties of rooteFs attended the games yes- terday on the Ensley diamond than ever assembled on any ball grounds in the state. A double -header was played, each game full of exciting incidents that brought the fans to their feet time and time again. The crowd was as liberal with it's cheers as it was with groans, and each good play was literally ap- plauded.

 Much credit Is due the umpres, Messrs Devereaux and Ruble, for their part in the games they showed a perfect knowi- edge of the game at all times and the fact that there were no wrangling over their decisions was a testimonial to their efficiency Three games will be played next week, one on Thursday and two Saturday.

OWNER RICK WOODWARD TELE- PHONES THAT MESSENGER CANNOT BE GOT OUT OF THE LEAGUE-BARONS IN MOBILE

It is very probable that Hyder Barr will be played permanently in the Baron rightfield. And that he will play it well goes without saying.
 There was chance until yesterday afternoon that Rick Woodward would land Messenger But that chance has gone Tor good. The owner telephoned Manager Molesworth yesterday after noon that he had tried for three days and failed to get Messenger out of the league. St. Louis still declines to waive.
 Barr will probably not hit as hard as Messenger. But he will steal as many bases and field equally as well. And the Barons have nothing of which to complain It was master stroke when Barr was acquired.
 The Barons are resting now in their mad pursuit for new material. Barr is permanently fixed in right. Yantz will continue to play shortstop until Eliam recovers. Manager Molesworth will stand pat on his fingers until further notice.
