UNIVERSITY LADS
 ARE READY FOR GAME

University. March 1s.-f Speeial) )- During the last few days of fair weather Coach Graves has been putting his squad through some hard practice trying to make up for the lost time and to get the team in some shape to make creditable showing against the Birmingham Southern leaguers tomor- TOW.
 The bad weather has been pretty hard on the squad and it will be form for the early games. The team this year will have to depend on hitY ling and fielding for most of the games that they win. and not on the batteries. The latter, although thay cannot be said to be weak, do not measure up to the standard of former years
 On the other hand the fielding end of the team Is exceptionally good. Snede cor on first. Moody on second, Jones on third and Joplin at shortstop promise by their playing in the practice games to make up one of the fastest infields in the south. The outhed is aisJ right up to the notch Captain Me Dowell in left, Peebles in center and either Courtney Pratt or Lobman in right are all men who can take care of everything in their parts on the lot.
 Tho above is the probable line up of the team in tomorrow's game. The opening battery will in all probability be Greer, pitcher. and Weis catcher

Ignorance of the rules on the part of a player got me into jam al m dianapolis last year, and incidentally yave me one of the hardest declsions of my career. The game was played late in September, Columbus being the visiting team The only pleasing part or the decision was that it made Il pos sible for me to win several hats for winter wear. Naturally decision that carried so much trouble was disputed I made several bets that l was rlgh'' and of course won, as l was betting on a cad pipe cinch.

Bill Dilger, who is a catcher. seems to be good man and it is probable that he will act as second catcher this season. He is a youngster, being % years old, and is of a fine build for a bac<stop. He Is about feet 10 inches tall and will weigh about 1S5 pounds He throws and bats right handed,
 His best asset is his wonderful throw. ing arm Since he has reported to Man ager Molesworth he has been pegsng down to the keystone with great accuracy and speed. His arm works freely and the ball goes on q line to the bag, It seems as if he can hit fairly well, hut will hardly star with the budgeon. He comes well recommended, and Moleswortn believes that he will dev ,op into great catcher.
 Dilger looks a great deal like Roger Bresnahan and seems to have bit Of pepper.

Manager Gordon Hickman announced yesterday that he had signed Andy Rsmage. a product of Ensley, for try out at second base, and that lnhelder Hoffman, who played with the Decatur team last season, has also signed to play in the infield Andy Ramage played last season with one of the teams in the T. C. l. league at Ensley
 Ramage Is a pretty good ball player. He will not set the league on fire, but will no doubt prove to be a dependable ball player He is d youngster with . good batting eye and Is a fairly fast in fielder He will be played at second base. He was recommended to the manager by a good judge of baseball material as re- ing a promising youngster.
 Hoffman played last season with the Decatur club, according u Manager Hickman. He is not well known and very little can be secured upon his ability as a bah player.
 President Manaseo announcei yesterday that the work on the park at Bessemer vas coming along nicely and that 1t would be completely finished before the season

THREE BARONS ARE
 ON THE SICK LIST


 Three Barons are on the SICK llst. Lee Lemon, the hefty backstop: Bugs Hard grove, the cratic pitcher, and Charlie Carroll. the youngster at second were all disabled yesterday with various all ments Lee Lemon developed nice case of fever immediately after the game Sat urdaN, while Hardgrove is also afflicted in the same manner. He has not been well since he arrived in Birmingham. Car roll was a little too strenuous in the game with the Brown yanngans, and he also was forced to remain in bed However none are seriously i'll.
 Lemon was compelled to catch the en- tire game Saturday as Dilser was out of the game with sprained knee, haVns | slipped Friday in the clubhouse. At thls l time Of the year it Is aNful nara on i bao kstop to catch through the entire nine 1 innings However, there was no one 10 assist him, and Molesworth let him catch l the entire contest. As the result fever 1 set in late Saturday night, and he was 1 forced 10 his bed on Sunday.
 HardgroVe has not yet become accli- ! mated to the southern climate, and has not been well since he arrived in this 1 city HardgroVe is about 20 years old and l is ar experienced pitcher He pitched
  and won 13 straight games. When he was 1 proving to be the sensation of the league ] in the pitching box he caught case of l tN phoid fever and was forced to go back to the minors. There is no doubt l but that he is fine player
 Carroll has been in fine shape since he | has been here and was feeling well after
 the game He will be out tomorrow. Roy ] Enam had the skin knocked off his fingers
 and received a nail split yesterday while fielding in a practice game. The bal took a bad bound and forced the shortstoF 1 to quit. However, he will be out again l tomorrow.
 IL seems as if the number of bad acci'
 dentG that happened to the Barons lasi 1 season are beginning again. If the Barons i had not been crippled up at the begin
 ming of the season last year it is prob
 able that they would have finished higher l All the other men are in fair shape, ano 1 if this fine training weather stays with
 the Barons the squad will be in splendic
 shape by next Monday.
 Foxen. Smith, Chaput, Baker and 1 Green have rounded into good shape anc
 are now able to pitch three or four in 1 nings each However, Boyd, Randall i Hardgrove and Kane have not yet beer l able to get the kinks out of their flingine l arms The boys are getting in better l shape every day and it will only be g

HITTING AND PITCHING THE ELEMENTS WHICH MAKE THE
 WINNING BASEBALL TEAM
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

1 places We have Lemon, Messenger an6 1 Wall. and if the first and last nance lve Up 10 their regulations, our hitting strength in 1912 will be as great as in 1911.
 There has been considerable discussion in reference to Arthur Marcan. It has been argued that while he is an excei- lent fielder and keen on the fine, points of the game, his light hitting should bar him from q place on the team of this year.
 Should Manager Molesworth land a youngster who can hit much harder than Marcan and field as well, or practically well, then there is no doubt but that Marcan should be displaced. But thele is scarcely doubt but that Marcan will be the regular second baseman this sea- son--uness Manager Molesworth deter mines that the situation is such that a real strong keystone keeper from the ma jors is an absolute essential
 If stronger man than Marcan is ob- tained. then give him the job. But be sure that he is stronger.
 From the present indications, Lemon and Dilger will do the catching for the team and the infield will be composed of McGilvrav Marcan Elam and Wall Messenger, Johnston and Mowrey, with out doubt have the inside track for out field positions.
 The pitchers are still unselected FoXen, Boyd and Chaput will probably land Jobs, and if Bill Trough is recovered, he will, of course be certainty for the slab. We trust that Kent will not be over looked in case an opportunity to get him presents itself.

, WITH THE SCRIBES

Nashville Democrat: Nashyille's crack cs stchers, Doe Seabough and 'Dowdy" Eiiott, blew into the Volunteer camp yes terday. Seabough's coming was expected, but when Elliott put his face inside Man ager Schwartz's office in the Arcade there was a stir. For some time "Rowdy" has been playing the star act in the holdout show. and for awhile there was some doubt as to whether he would come in or stay out. As time passed, the former Baron thought best to talk it over with President Hirsig and Manager Schwartz. This and that proposition was exchanged, with satisfactory terms finally being made. This done, Elliott, who has been in Hot Springs for three weeks training with big league players, packed his be- lorginss, and Friday morning, accom- panied by Seabough,1 "beat it to this city.
 There are now but three Volunteers missing-"Doc" Wiseman who Is expected at any hour from Cincinnati, and Sum- mers and Brandt. The latter two are 1 holdouts, but are sure to come to terms | before many days pass, just as Elliott did
 1 Both Seabough and Elliott are in fine shape. the baths and training they re- ceiVed while in the City of Napors hay ing all but put them in mid-season form.
 Elliott does not object to playing with Nashville. He, however, preferred berth with Louisville in the American asso- citation. 'l am going in to give the Vol | unteers the best l have" he remarked on arrival. That should be pretty good, too, for l expect to eclipse last years S record that I may get an opportunity to perform among the majors in another 1 year"
 | Commercial-Appeal: Crandal is still a crippe; that is, he has never thoroughly recovered from the blow on the finger which put him. out of commission near the l equatorial section of the 1911 struggle His l finger does not pain him in the least, but the nail which was knocked off didn't grow back properly, and the clever little nfielder is none too certain that the nail will not prove more or less of handicap | in his fielding. To eliminate the chance Of it's being injured by an exceptionally warm hit, Karl will continue to wear a
 linen bandage on the finger when in a game.
