NOTES FROM THE BOLD BARoNs'" CAMP

In spite of the crimp which the weather received Monday night, the Phillies and the Rarons had their reg ular practice work yesterday, both teams ignoring the winds which came biting out of the north, and both re spending to the calls on them with ginger" and enthusiasm.
 The usual hours were adhered to, the visitors having the diamond until II 30 o'clock and the Barons from that time until 2:30 o'clock When the Barons finally retired the Quakers played a game among themselves.
 Felharty is the livest man among the Barons when practicing is considered. He has never grown tired, He is either batting or pitching, or fielding bunts, or running about the field And he goes at his work with a dash and with such good spirit that others instinctly hasten their action.
 Fleharty Is also the noisest man in the bunch. He is generally yelling at the top of his voice, and he can be heard from the car track to the far end of Redwood Field. Apparently there is not a lazy bone in his body He reported a trifle over weight and he will be down to form by the beginning of the season, which he hopes to make his very best.
 Word was received from President Hirsig of Nashville yesterday to the effect that waivers had been secured on "Bub" Perdue by Boston. President Hirsig enclosed letter from the pres ident of the Brooklyn club in which it was said that by the agreement. Bos- ton, in case 1t did not retain the pitcher was to turn him back to the club from which he was obtained. This means that Perdue will return to Nashville and then to- Birmingham. It cannot be said, however. just when the, trans fer, will be made, although Manager

Second Baron-Philly Game Today
Ables Second EN-Bdron
 With Ambition To Fight
BILL WRITES OF FRANK SMITH AND THE BIG. TEXAN WHO IS
 GOING AFTER "JOHNSON'S'
 SCALP
Fly BILL AK

Two of the former members of the bold Baron round table have startled the na- tion by preparing to fight for the pugilis- tic championship of the world.
 The first was Frank Smith, the famous piano mover, who, after having been graduated in Birmingham, went to the Chicago White Sox, and then back to the Eastern league. Frank has never wanted for a good right arm, and his boast was that in that arm he had as stiff punch as his speed was great. But Frank evidently sympa athzed with Jeff fries in his decline, and did not tore stall the "dinge'' in relieving the fallen champion of the belt Many thought that Smith was serious when he talked, for it has ever been true that the piano mover s head was not exactly on a par with his arm. But Frank consumed nis tune in boasting and in preparing.
 And now comes Harry Ables. "I could have beaten Jeffries some years ago. he is quoted as saying, but what was the need. I am fairly well off as far as the did not molest poor old Jeff, and I will remember my patience even unto the day of my death with great pleasure.
 But now it is a different story. feel that can defeat Johnson. and I also feel that it is my duty to do SO I will think about it for some weeks, and if I can overcome the bar which the place of my birth obstructs, then I will fight"
 You all remember Harry Ables. He is a Texan born, and has done most of his pitching in the Texas league. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals some years ago, but got so home sick that he went of his own volition back to Texas
 He was then drafted by Birmingham, but homesickness again got the better of him. So he practically forced Manager Vaughn to send him again to Texas. He is now with the New York Hishlanders
 In some respects Ables is a remarkable pitcher. He has everything in the world when his control is good. If he cared on the afternoons when he could locate the plate, he could stand almost any old team on. it's head. But in addition to lack of control he has other defects. He Is financially able to take care of him self without finging and he filings because

THREE KILLED IN
 ELEVATOR WRECK

St. Paul, March 1.-Two girls and a man were killed, one girl fatally hurt and several others injured in an elevator accident in the wholesale furniture house of Gordon & Ferguson. The ele- vator fell four floors. The dead and in- jured were pinioned in wreekage at the bottom of the shaft.
 Mason Johnson, the elevator, operator, told Coroner Jones that when he closed the gates after discharging passengers at the fourth floor, the elevator started to slip down. The clutch failed to work. The elevator gathered momentum. and when it struck the bottom of the shaft the counter balance weight at the top dropped -- Ata

 he loves it when he wants to. He Is err ratic in many regards.
 Ables is one of the biggest men playing baseball Some weigh more but the frames of few are larger than his. He is one of the few men in the world who can place a baseball in the palm of his hand and embrace it completely with a finger and thumb
 I have never heard of any pugilistic skill possesse ed by Ables. But he has much brute strength, a willingness to fight, and good courage. In addition, he is college graduate and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. But-in spite of these facts we believe that for the time being, at any rate, luck 'Johnsfng' is safe.
