The 27 Barons come from IS differ ent states From oregon to Maine from Michigan to Alabama, the Bir- mingham squad is represented. It took just IS states to supply Manager Molesworth with his 24 ball players and there is a possibility that several other states will be represented when the season is opened.
 Indiana Is the home of four Barons, while Missouri, North Carolina, Ala bama. Illinois, Michigan and New Jer- sey have two each The Baron who travelled the greatest distance to Bir- mingham was Ray Baker, who lives at Cottage Grove, Ore, while the near est was Clarence Smith, who lives in sight of the Redwood park. Baker Is the only one who lives on the Pa oific coast, while Bob Messenger lives on the Atlantic coast at Portland, Me.

During my long career as an umpire have had any number of hard and unusu- al decisions. My toughest ruling dates back to 1895. The fact that I can go back r years and recall viyidly everything that happened on that memorable day is conclusive proof thai the events of that afternoon were ont of the ordinary. The game was played at Wheeling, W. Va, the Warren, Pa, club being the opposing team.
 It was the last half of the ninth inning, the score was to in favor of Warren, two men were out. and Jack Glasscoclx on first Glasscock attempted steal of sec ond. The throw from the catcher was perfect, and it was evident to-Jack that he would be an easy out. As he neared the base he grabbed up a handful of loose dirt and hurled 1t at the second baseman. This act blinded that player, caused him to duck and allow the ball to roll out into center field Glasseoek went to third on the play.
 When Glasscock threw the dirt yelled at the top of my voice, You're outr' and the words What for?" came from every player on the home team. For interfer- ence" I answered in my loudest tones. That decision ended the game. It stopped a near rally on the part of the home team and practically gave the pennant to War ren, who were only a game ahead of Wheeling at the time.
 When the decision was rendered. on

PLAY UNIVERSITY OF
 ALABAMA ON CAMPUS TUESDk
WORDSWORTH WILL TAKE THE FIRST TEAM TO PLAY COL LEGIANS-HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH GAME SATURDAY

Tho Barons will play the University Tuscaloosa on the campus. Molesworth will take his regular team along for the fray and will no doubt trounce the colleglans. He believes that the toam will be in nne fettle by Tues day and that the Birmingham nine will put up an excellent exhibition, Although the St. Louis yannigans romped over the Barons at RicI<woo Saturday. Molesworth stated that he was well impressed by the work of the team, However, the Barons were ill very bad condition, Lee Lemon, who caught, was given instructions not to throw to catch the runners on account of his sore arm, His arm had not yet rounded into shape ana Molesworth was fearful lest he might injure himself Dilger was unable to play as he sprained his ankle the day before. However he will be in shape by Tues day,
 Moleswerth stated that he was very much impressed by the work of Pitchers Chaput and Smith, Neither one of the boys were in excellent shape, but both had fine control. He believes that "Chub" Chaput stands an excellent clfance of making the regular team. Smith also showed up splendidly, for he held the yannigans runless for three innings,
 | Molesworth was impressed by Car rolls work and also by Ems fielding
 He admitted. however, that Ems was d bit nervous at the bat Wall at third was not in condition. but the chubby leader believes that he will de- velop into a dependable man before the season is begun.
 Bob Messenger was removed from the game on Account of his poor con dition. Although he ran the bases like scared deer. he was extremely sore. Johnston and Mowrey were not in the best condition possible. lie says that the men are as sore as d boil and that the first game was too strenuous for them. He expected to play the first team of the St. Louis club and was much surprised to find the yannigans here for the battle.
 Molesworth has not decided whom he will take to Tuscaloosa as pitchers. Tho men who appear to be In better shape will go along. It is very probable that "Bull' Green will be one of the three twirlers. Both Lemon and Dlger will go along. Bill McGilvray will be taken along as the regular first baseman, while Carroll will play second, Ellam shortstop and Joe Rapp. the young col 1egian, will cover thiro The outfield- CTS will be Messenger, right field; Jim my Johnston, center field, and Mowrey left field. Molesworth will, of course. accompany the club
 The game with the university is a regular affair and the eoIlegians usu- ally put up fine scrap. Holt Me Dowel who Is a local boy, is captain of the university team. The next ex- hibltion game that will be played here will be between the Chicago Cubs and the Barons on Thursday. They will also play here Friday.

MARCAN AND RYAN
 HERE FOR PRACTICE

Arthur Marcan and Raymond Ryan ar rived yesterday and at once reported te Manager Molesworth of the Barons. Mar- and is looking as well as of yore He wa the last Baron to report, and now the Baron camp is Intact. excepting Catcher George Yantz, who has steadfastly re. fused to report.
 Raymond Ryan. fondy known as "Mother' Ryan, came to Molesworth's aid to help train the young pitchers. Ryan seems to he in first class shape but is rather heavy. He will manage this sea son and 1t Is probable that Moesworth may allow him to take along few of the young Barons 10 train for him. Ryan is said to be a good catcher and that he can show the young hurlers T few things that will better ttem.
 The reason why 1t was necessary for Ryan to report was on account of Yantz refusing to come until his salary demands were granted As there are nine young pitchers who need to get Into condition, two catchers-Dilger and Lemon, were un- able to attend to them. Ryan will no doubt be of great assistance to Moles- worth.
 It seems as if Marcan will have hard fight on for second. Carroll is very fast youngster. both in fielding and on the bases. He can hit pretty well, and should be able to bat more than Marcan How ever. he is not experienced, and it will take time for him to become so. Moles- worth is very much impressed with ms work. Marcan is fine performer, with good arm and a head full of baseball brains. He Is one of the smartest oa!l nlavers that has ever played in Birmlns- ham.
 Marcan never hits very hard, although he is regular. He played second in ad- mirable style last season, accepting po more chances than Derrill Pratt. Besides being a good fielder he is a smart player with a lot of natural ability. The one that wins out will have hard fight
 Yantz will be given few more da|s within which to report for practice and if he does not come within that time he will be placed on the suspension list, and will not be able to play ball with any other team in 1912. He will not h2 sorely missed.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
 l IN STEEL BUSINESS
Coal Strike Responsible for Advance of S1 Per Ton
 on Steel Bars

New York, March 17.-Business in the steel industry last week was accom- panied by developments of unusual in- terest and Importance. The coal strike in Europe was responsible for great activity in steel products here and the prospec- tive suspension of mining operations in this country stimulated placing orders for both finished and sem-fnished steel for prompt shipment
 The effect of this was to cause an ad- vance of S1 per ton on steel bars, shapes ana plates and on galvanized sheets and wrought pipe. The export demand for tin plate was active, and with all the British tin plate mills down, prices abroad advanced 3 shillings per box with an up- ward tendency. The Lackawanna and Jones & Laughlin companies have taken orders for round tonnages of billets and plates for export as well as for rails, Japan is negotiating for railroad sup plies, including cars and locomotives.
 Large tonnages of sheet bars were sold to independent sheet mills in the central west. Wire products were especially ac- tive and finer in tone. Contracts for fab- ricated structural steel aggregated over 20,o00 tons and railroad work called for only POO tons. Car and locomotive orders were again disappointing, but rail con tracts aggregated 5000 including l5,ooo tons fol the Wabash and 5000 for the Chesa- peake and Ohio. The Erie, Santa Fe and the Burlington each placed small ton mage work, and trunk lines including Pa ciic roads, negotiating for l50.O0O to 1OO0oo tons
 Continued activity in pig iron developed contracts for 210000 tons Contracts in the Pittsburg territory alone called for 125,000 tons. East of the Allegheny moun- tains orders were placed for 25,o00 tons foundry. Recent activity has caused an advance of 50 cents to 70 cents per ton for steel making iron in the central and 25 to 90 cents per ton more on foundry grades at Buffalo and in eastern Penn sylvania and Virginia.

The regulars will go after the youngsters and a hot fight will ensue. Every day there is large number ol local fans, perhaps POO. who watch the Barons get into shape. There will be a full team for the regulars, while the van nisans will have all except an outhelder
