BILL ON BARON PITCHERS

White Sox, and I am certain that Comis- key would never have turned him loose without being certain that he could get him again when he is needed.
 Trough and Kent were the two best pitchers in the Central association, and I am sure that they will make Birmingham valuable men,
 Good news of Sexton, the Virginia league recruit Is heard daily, too. It is said that he was easily the class of the Virginia circuit. Much is expected of Chenault, too. Perdue, last season with Nashville, vouches for Chenault. The two are from the same little burg in Tennessee-Gallatin-a Perdue says that Chenault is as good as he himself is.
 When it is remembered that in addition to these youngsters Manager Molesworth has three dependables to start off with Fleharty, Perdue and Wagner-prospects assume a roseate hue. And then there are Bauer, Smith and Gilroy.
 Manager Molesworth expects to obtain a rattling good sidewheeler from Manager Dooin. B.. A.

Concerning his young pitchers, Man. ager Molesworth hears good news every day, and it begins to appear that in the list of recruits the Barons will procure several regulars-one or more of whom should be stars
 The latest news to be had was fur nished yesterday by First Baseman Miller Of the Philadelphia Nationals. Miller played first base last season for Keokuk in the Central league, in which league, also, were Trough and Kent, two Baron fingers.
 Trough was with Keokuk. Concerning him Miller said: Trough is certainly a fine young pitcher, and if he doesn't go to the majors next fall I miss my guess. He is a big fellow and can stand lot of work. In the spring, however, he gen. erally gets off slowly. But when the sea- son is we'll under way he can deliver the goods all the time.
 "Kent is an excellent man, too. He should make star in this league. He was drafted, as is known, by the Chicago

SMOTHERED IN
 BUSHELS OF CORN

New Orleans. March 3.-Octave Mat thews, aged 30, a negro employe was smothered to death yesterday beneath 10.g0 bushels of corn in an elevator at the Stuyvesant docks.

cut aud asked Du.rmann about his
former customers The barber boosted
that he had cut the hair Of. rancis

ton minor royalties.
And which is easier asked the
kaiser, cutting the air OF kings or
their subjects"
with kings 1t is easier" said the
barber.
why is that Z" asked the kaiser.
Because on an average they are
older and have less hair to cut" re-
piled HE barber.
The kaiser laughed and said; Come
