In all things pertaining to baseball Minneapolis and St Paul are bitter rivals. Nothing is so sweet to St Paul rooters as win over Minneapo- lis, nothing more pleasing to Mime apolis fans than a victory over St Paul l had a decision come up al Minneapolis last wear in a game be- tween those two teams that gave promise of making all kinds of trouble for me.
 The two clubs went along neck and neck for six innings. When Minneap- oils came to bat in the last half of that session the score wae te-2 to 7. The Millers filled the bases with two out, and the hard hitting Otis Clymer at the bat. The fans had visions of victory and appealed to Clymer to break ii up. He responded with a drive to right field that barely touched the edge of the score board. We unl- pires knew the end of the score board was just about on line with the foul line.
 A-big crowd that stood in right field obscured the foul line on the fence. l knew the decision was question of inches, and having no foul line to

BARONS READY TO TACKLE CHANGE
 AND HIS CUBLETS
ABOUT THE PITCHING STAFF

never played professional ball, and it is doubtful if he has had enough experi- ence. However, he is a dark horse and might surprise the scribes.
 IT Bardgrove should be able to get into condition and should get rid of the fever he should go well here. But he is a pretty high priced man. Green seems to be good man with lot of speed and control. He Is experienced and should be in the race. He is a good hitter also.
 So far the most promising of the young sters Is Chaput, who comes here from the Berlin club in the Canadian league. At present 1t seems as if he will land one of thesyoungster jobs on the twirling staff. Molesworth believes he will be one of the most formidable candidates. He had won derful control last season and from ap- pearances will have 1t again this year. He was not in very good condition Satur- day, but was not bit wild. He comes here with the reputation of being one Of the best young pitchers on the squad. Joe sugden, the Detroit scout, tried to get him for Detroit. He looks very good. Chaput won 23 and lost but games.
 Elmer Randall is another boy that will make the rest hustle for the remaining position. 1ne race will probably be be- tween Randall, Smith and Green, unless Kane shows up better than the average promising amateur. Randall comes to thlS city from the Vicksburg team in the Cotton States league, where he practically lead the league He batted .2S0 while pitching and playing the outfield, and was the pitcher that won the pennant Tor Nicksburg. He is a good man and will probably get the other position.
 Clarence Smith, the local boy, will be the contestant who will be up in the running. He has had little experience, and is but a fair fielder. He is not in Randall's class fielder or hitter. However, he can put the ball over the plate consistently, and has shown up well this season. Experience and fielding abil- ity is what he lacks.
 Green is a good young ball player. He had more experience than either of the two others, and is said to be better hitter. However. Randall is mighty good hitter for a pitcher Green won consist ently last season for the Lansing club in the Southern Michigan league, and is said to be a clever man. He is rather heavy weighing about 19o pounds, and is rather low. measuring about feet s inches. Randall is nearly six feet tall. It seems as if Molesworth will select his two men from Chaput, Randall. Green and Smith, R. A. l..

Exhibition Games Cancelled

Hot Springs, Ark, March 19.AThe se- ries f exhibition games planned between the Philadelphia National league teaoi and the Boston team of the American league have been called off for training reasons Manager Stahl of the Boston team explained today that his men work too fast when ptted against teams of equal standing in advance of the regular season and be had decided that spring practice would produce better results if he played the team against itself.

 TO THE BILLIKENS
~J0E cCrNLSER-

Montgomery, March 20.-(Special.) 1.-The Bllikins won their third consecutive game from major league teams when they defeated the Chicago Cubs this afternoon by score of to 1. The game was fast for so early in the season and all of the pitchers worked good, showing splendid condition. After the Cubs had scored one in the fourth, Stengle lead off for the Billkins in the sixth with bingle and Spencer reached first on an error. Mel veen singled and Williams was safe on a fielder's choice upon which Stengle was caught at the plate, but the bases were full.
 Duggan drove one past short and Spen- cer scored. leaving the bases full. Me- Elveen was caught off third but in the chase lodged the Cub players and scored. while Williams went to third and Duggan to second. Coles long single drove in both Williams and Duggan. Score:

NO BANKING BILL PASSED BY
 THE MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE

couhty-an experienced planter, banker and legislator. He had given this matter careful thought from the standpoint of the depesitor first and then from that of the banker, the outcome being a bill that gave both ample protection and at little or no cost to the state. Under his bill the bank commissioners were three of the state officials and drew no salary. They selected the three examiners-men of experience in the business and bank ing world and competent to examine any set of bank books. But that did not suit the House majority, and they jumped at Mir Rencehr's amendment or substitute to have the bank commissioners elected by the people, That was what carried the substitute to victory in the House, but the Senate would have none of such poll ties in a business proposition.

Three members of the Baron pitching staT have been practically chosen. Bill Foxen is a certainty and will be the only left handler on the staff. The other mera- Der will be Bill Trough. who probably will be.returned to the Bamons when the Cincinnati team arrives here, or about the time thet season opens. Raymond boyd is nearly lassured of regular berth Tine other two members od the twirling staff will be picked from ,the bunch Of youngsters. ,Molesworth is going 10 pick at least one ,of the youngsters and will likely select two. He says that he must have two moderately cheap pitchers on the staff as Foxens Trough and Boyd are high priced men.
 Boyd has not shown anything yet, but he is known to be a good pitcher. He lead the Central league in pitching last season. winning 9 games and losing [. He has been winning consistently in previous years. and has had enough ex- perience to play in this league. His size has been the only thing that has kept him out of the big league. He has been twice in the big leagues for tryout, once with,the Cincinnati club and with the St. Louis American team.
 Molesworth believes that, he will prove to be a consistent winner here this sea son. However, he is somewhat of vet eran. and it will take him, some time to get into proper form. He is taking his time, but will be in shape tby next week. There is little doubt but that he will be kept by Molesworth for the twirling staff, although Molesworth has not given out that information.
 With Trough. Boyd andi Foxen as three certainties, the race for the other two
 jobs will be between Chaput Smith, Ran dall Baker, Kane, Green and HardgroVe. Eardgrove is very sick, and has not been in condition since he has been here. Baker has proven to be wild, but seems to have plenty of speed and curves However, control is what he lacks, together With experience. 1t is hardly probable that he will land one of the jobs. Kane, who is an amateur. has not yet rounded into con dition, but looks-as if he should have plenty of speed and curves. He has

WITH THE SCRIBES

New Orleans Picayune: Marty o'Toole, the pitching sensation who Is expected by the Pirate fans to bring a pennant to Pittsburg this season, is one of the pitch CTS who believes bowling is beneficial in helping a twirer keep in condition and that at the same time it strengthens de- sirable muscles in the arm and shoulder. Eddie Plank is probably the most noted devotee of the sport among the big league twirlers He captains very successful season. "I don't know whether 1t is true of every pitcher or not says Mr. O'Toole, but I found that shoulder muscle very useful to me in delivering the ball was developed by exercise on the alleys. got it in good shape that way winter be- fore last. but last winter I felt that l did not need it. I was content to let well enough alone.' O'Toole did considerable bowling. however. enough to earn for | him the individual championship in the 1 fraternal tournament in his home at South | Farmington.
 New Orleans Item: Poor old Chatta- nooga.
 Seems like a shame 10 rub it in, but the temptation cannot be resisted. For now the Dutchman has both Jim Lafitte and Dock Johnston Can you beat 1t?
 Remember the once famous trade of Jim Lafitte to Chattanooga for Doc John ston and a few hundred in cash? Remem- her how the Lookouts boasted they had all the better of the deal until Detroit came along and offered s25o0 cash and Jay | kirke for immediate delivery of Johnston Then remember how Laitte went wrong with the Lookouts and finally drifted into | the South Atlantic.
 l Now he has purchased his own release and has reported to the Pes for tryout
