 The management of the Philadelphia club is expecting much from Schultz, the University of Pennsylvania pitch CT. He was star at the university and critics express the belief that he will also star in the majors. He looks the part.

 MT. Fogel states that Covaleski would be the greatest pitcher in the world but for a streaq of saffron ex- tending from his heels to his head, Magee and Doolan also tell tales of Covaleski that are funny and sad at the same time.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 2.-Pitchers and catchers were given morning and aft crnoon workouts at Majestic park today by both the Cincinnati Nationals and St. Louis Americans.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

, We have as good a catching department as the league affords. Our infield is as good as any other in the league. We have a first rate finging staff with Per- due. Fleharty and Wagner as certainties, and Bauer, Smith, Gilroy, Kent. Sexton, Trough and Chenault to select from. The chances are that another first rate man will be signed in the next few days, and il is a cinch that Philadelphia will leave behind for development at least one valu- able finger-preferable a sidewheeler.
 We have two outfelders who rank with the best in the league-Molesworth and Mcbride The chance of recovering Mes senger is good. And Philadelphia is ready to come to the rescue in this regard, too. Some of the surplus Philly material is ex- ceedingly good, it might be said.
 So we have nothing to grumble over. On the contrary. never before has every thing been so bright.
 Manager Molesworth returned from New orleans yesterday morning. President Baugh returned last night. Both declare that nothing occurred at the New Or leans meeting save what has appeared in the press Mir. Baugh let the fight, as is known, which resulted in the defeat and overthrow of Charlie Frank of New Or leans and o. B. Andrews of Chattanooga. These leaders, who have bench managers, fought to have included in the monthly navrolls of the clubs the full salaries 1f the playing managers. As a result of Baugh's fight however, but half of the amounts will be included.
 MT. Baugh states that the meeting was a most successful one, and one which every magnate enjoyed. H. w. k.

There are other matters, too.
 The salary limit, as a result of the fight of President Baugh, has been so amended that but one-half of the salary of Manager Molesworth will be included in the monthly payroll of the club.
 The people, the units of the great base ball public, are enthusiastic, more so than ever before. They are anXiously awaiting the dropping of the hat, and are prepared to get behind the Barons and push them headlong to victory. This attitude of the people means much of material value, too.
 For the first time we will open season with a grandstand worthy of the name, and with a baseball park which surpasses any other in the southern states-with plant. indeed, which compares favorably with any other minor league plant In the United States.
 So everything is so arranged that Bir- mingham will profit.
 And the outlook for a successful base ball team is decidedly bright.

PICTURE sHoW VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW

cT HAT the law respecting moving picture shows has been
almost universally violated since it was passed by the Legis-
lature and that virtually no effort has. been made for its
enforcement are facts now known. A private organization which
has TO deal with the social evils that flow from sources like these
has made an investigation on its own account and submitted the
results to the police. For the first time orders have been sent out
to precinct captains to enforce the law. To what extent these
orders will avail remains to be seen, and it is evident, too, that the
law needs to be strengthened. In New York it is proposed to estab-
lHh a police censorship of the films, with rigid regulations as to
housing of the shows and severe penalties for violations of the regu-
lations, especially as regards the child patronage of the shows. The
setting up of a moving-picture show needs little capital, and, theret
fore, an irresponsible class of men, with more regard for the dollar
than for the law or the welfare of childhood, get into the business
and run it regardless of moral considerations. These men need con
slant watching. There are places in Newark where children apply
ing for admission are taken in hand by confederates of the pro
prietors, who act as guardians" long enough to conduct the chill
dren inside and leave them there. The police patrol cannot deal
with this practise, which calls for detective work. A few Jail SEN
fences, not fines, would prove a good deterrent. And we need a
more drastic law and the strict enforcement thereof.

TURNING ON ROOSEVELT.

NAV HARTON BARKER, of Philadelphia, has the reputation of
WV being somewhat cratic, although he is a banker. In a
statement TO the Senate committee on interstate com
merce at Washington yesterday he repeated what a New York
financial man had said to him on the Street in 1904 in regard to
Roosevelt before his election for President that year. Roosevelt,
the fnancer said, had made a bargain with the railroad interests
for their support for President. Mr.. Barker declared he found con
hrmation of the fact in Roosevelts recommendations in regard to
railroads in his first annual message. The fnancier referred to is
supposed to have been the late Z. Ell. Hartman. Considering the
fact that during the Roosevelt administration the bitterest enemy of
the President was Hartman himself, while the administration in.
augurated the antagonism to railroad domination of the business
of the country, Mr.. Barkers secondhand story does not seem to
fit the facts. But any stick is good enough to beat a dog with, and
the friends of Taft are just now on the hunt for sticks to club the
rising Roosevelt sentiment.
