SELMA CLUB LOOKS STRONG;
 SOMETHING OF THAT TEAM

Selma, April -(Speeial.) schedule of the first half of the 1913 season Of the Southeastern league as printed in the Sunday Age-Herald is satisfactory to the baseball followers of Selma. By the schedule the Selma club will open at home with the Gadsden club. which was second in the pennant race last season. It is understood the opening of the league season will be made quite an important occasion, but the programme for the dem- onstration has not been yet announced.
 The Selma club will close the exhibi- tion season Tuesday afternoon at River side park when the second game with the Meridian club of the Cotton States league will be played. The remainder of the week win be devoted to morning and aft ernoon practices and the club will be in good shape for the opening of the season next Monday.
 The Selma club is already In good shape for the opening of the first half of ths league season. It Is expected the clul will get away in the opening game II good shape and be 0 strong contender al during the race. Manager Sticl1ney ha. collected a strong bunch Of recruits iron among which he will pick the stronges club he can.

In the pitching department the Selma club looks very good to local fans. Prob ably the only weak spot to the club will be found in the catching department. Pierre, who has been doing the receiving during the exhibition season is a good worker and conscientious but the fans do not like his begging 10 the bases. Bnt Pierre claims there Is a kink in hls throwing arm which will quickly work olt and then he wll peg as good as any other receiver in the league.
 Spafl1s Mastering and Herman will hold down first, second and third in the order named Sparks and Vasterling played first and second for Selma last year and arc both good men. Herman came to Sel- ina from Illinois and is a fast man at third Chastant, who played third for Selma last year, will hold down the short stop position this year. Manager Sticllney will play left field. Hanna will attend to the center garden, while the right field will be in charge of Howell The ma- jority of the Selma players are doped as heavy hitters and as soon as they strike their pace in that direction the club will play winning ball.
 McManus, Molly, Drinkwater, Verneille. Semmes and Adams are those who com pose the pitching corps of the club. All six are good men and 1t will be a difficult task to decide which two are to receipt the pink slip when the weeding-out time arrives.

BARONS LEAVE FOR GADSDEN
 TO PLAY WITH STEELMAKERS

Mcbride, in left, will compose the out field
 Kuykendall will probably twirl for Gadsden. After the game with the Steel. makers today. the Barons will return and will rest up tomorrow for the big game Thursday. It Is the present intention of Molesworth to work Bill Foxen in the first game with Dilger as the receiver. Boyd will twirl Friday, while Chaput will pitch Saturday At Montgomery Sunday Clarence Smith will hurl. and on Monday Green will mount the hill. The catchers will take turn about. The receiving of fantz yesterday indicates that he is il fine shape and able to go into the sarlc regularly.
 Molesworth has not yet decided whom he will release of the pitchers However 1t looks as if Elmer Randall will be the unlucky person. Since he develooed a sore arm he has ben unable to develop his natural form. Randall was easily the best pitcher in the Cotton States last sea son, where he practically won the rag for the Vicksburg team. If he should be sold, it is very probable that Molesworth will attach d string to him. It is prob able that he will be farmed out to a Southeastern league club He is a very good hitter.
 Molesworth will turn back Mutz Ems to the Chicago club before the season oneus Bell has gone to Chllicothe. He will keer all of the four outfielders until he has tc cut down to 15 men. It is probable fhat Yantz will be kept as utility man, while Lemon and Dileer will do the catching II looks as if the infield will be composed Of McGilvray. Berghammer, Ellam ana Carroll. The outfield is yet uncertain. This is the way that the Barons will line up against Montgomery Thursday Berhammer, second base; Messenger right field; Johnston, center field; Me Gilvray' first base; McBride. left field, FL lam. shortstop: Carroll. third base. Dil. ger, catcher: Foxen, pitcher.
 The Montgomery team will arrive in Bjr. fnihsham Wednesday for the game Thurs. day.

Burke tried to keep his man off with a paving left jab but Moha was too aggressive for him. The westerner simply batted Burke's glove aside and doubled the sailor up with uppercuts to the stomach, or rocked his head with solid hooks to the jaw
 Nearly every one of Mohas punches at BurlSe's features had to be an overland swing, because of the local mans ad- vantage in height.
 A purse of $10,000 has been offered bs President Gibson of the Farmont Ath- letic club for a 10 round bout between Packy McFarland and Mat Wells, the English lightweight champion This of fer was prompted by the announcement that Nle National Sporting club of this city had hung up a s10,00O purse for this match.

The first photograph of George Ho- rine, of Stanford University, taken as he was making the jump which broke the worlds record, has just reached this city. A close inspection of the picture
 which is reproduced herein, would make it appear that the California athlete was capable of doing seven feet. He is shown going over the bar at feet G1s inches with so much to spare that 1t looks as if the snap" was a posed one at a much lower figure. Joseph Mar ron, the San Francisco photographer who took the picture, however, asserts that it was made at the exact time wher Horine was breaking the worlds record

This morning at s:25 the Barons will journey over to Gadsden to play the Southeasteners a game. This will be the last exhibition contest that the Barons play before the regular season opens.

 It is probable that Molesworth will take Hardgrove, Smith or Green along to hurl for the -Barons. McGllvray will play first base, while Berghammer will cavort at second. Roy Ellam will cover short while Carroll will play third base. Mes senger, in right, Johnston, in center, and

WORDSWORTH WILL PLAY THE GADSDEN TEAM AT GADSDEN

The Barons won from the Gleveland vannigans yesterday afternoon in very close and exciting game by the score of to 4 The victory was won by timely hitting in the sixth inning, after over coming a four run lead, which the Maps made in the early part of the game Boyd pitched nicely for the Barons' "nile Kane. who succeeded him in the eishlh inning. held the young Maps without a mt or a run for the last two sessions
 A beautiful catch by Jimmy Johnston III center field probably saved the oaS ao' the Barons. In the fourth lnhihs' aitei two were out and two were on Dases' E,ishar landed on one of Boyd's 'spitters and lined it to deep center Jimmy John ston started to sprinting just as the ball left the bat and just caught 1t. It was a wonderful catch.
 other than the catch of Johnston there was nothing to feature the game. In snite of this however, the score was very close towards the latter part of the game and it became very exciting. George Yantz caught his first game for the Rarons and seemed to be in mid season form. He slugged the pellet to deep cen- ter in the. second inning upon his first time up and was at third before he could be caught. However, two were out. All though the Maps stole three bases on Yantz, 1t could not be helped, for upon two occasions a runner was on third base.
 The game was very close. In the first Inning, before Boyd had gotten warmed up well, the Cleveland yannigans scored three runs. Graney, first up, hit over short stop for one base. He was sacrificed to second by Peckngpaugh and then stole third base. Fisher was walked and stole second. Birmingham grounded to Ellam and Graney scored on the play. Neal Ball hit hard one to shortstop and scored Fisher. Ellam made a good stop of the hit but could not recover it in time to catch Fisher at first. When Fall was on second Bronkie hit to cen 1r field and Ball scored.
 The Maps scored again in the third ses- sion. making their last tally. Fisher was again given base on balls. he stole sec ond Birmingham and Ball popped out to Ellam and Berghammer, respectively. but Bronkie hit to Berghammer and when Martin let it get through him, Fisher tailed
 The Barons scored their first run in the fourth inning McGilvray drew a pass. Mcbride singled to left field over the shortstop's head. Ellam struck out, but Carroll hit to right field and McBride and McGilvray scored on the single.
 Another run was scored in the fifth in- ming. After Messenger had grounded out, Johnston drew pass to first base. Me- Gilvray hit two bagger to right field

Five of Auburns runs came in the first inning, when Myers retired after he had walked man and given up two hits, one of them a home run by Major with the bases full.
 In a mix up Newell stole home in the first Taylor succeeded Myers in the box. Mississippi scored in the third on two wild throws and again in the seventh on a hit, an error and fielders choice.

WILSON OPPOSES
 FREE SUGAR BILL

Washington, April Huntington Wilson. Assistant Secretary of State, testifying before the Senate finance committee today said the free sugar bill would mean the abrogaton of the agreement between the United States and Cuba which gives the United States an advantage of 20 per cent preferen- tial in Cuban sugar exports; that 1t would resiously affect the Cuban mar ket to which the United States now ex- ports $6O,000,O0o of products annually. American flour being the principal ar ticle affected. He referred to the pend ing negotiations in Ottawa through which Canada expects to expand it's trade with the West Indies to the detri- ment of the large market there for American flour.

which has stood since Mike" Sweeney cleared the bar at feet 5ss inches in 1895.
 The generous amount of space be tween the stick and the athlete is ac- counted for by the fact that the photog- rapher has his camera pointed neces- sarily far below the cross piece, and that would accordingly exaggerate the amount of space that Horine had to spare. When Sweeney made his great jump there was a picture taken which became very well known in athletic circles. It showed the officials, some of them standing under the bar and others mounted on stepladder, as they took the measurements.

CATCHER SOUTH REPORTS
 FOR A THyOUT


 South, who caught for the Blountsville Aggies, has reported for a tryout on the Bessemer team. While Bob Bumbardner was coach ing the BlountsVille baseball team he saw South catch, and was so in1pressed with his receiving that he recommended him to Manager Hickman, who signed him up for tryout. According to Bumgardner he should make the Bessemer club A good man. He worked out yester- day with the Marvels.
 Dave Trotter, the hefty little baclstop, will not play with the Bessemer team. His parents object ed so strenuousiy to him playing professional baseball that he de- cided to quit, Those that knew the little backstop believed that he would make the Bessemer team. He is quite fine receiver. At pres ent there are but two out for the backstopping position-Brown and South.
 Perhaps it would seem somewhat peculiar to hear the umpire an- nounce that East and South would compose the Bessemer battery. Perhaps this might sound like he was giving the direction of the wind, but it may come.true. There is pitcher on the Bessemer club named East. He looks very good. South also comes with a goo -ee- ommendation. and these two lf ! be on the Marvel roster. Hp. please remember that they arc players, not directions.
