Bold Barons Leave For Selma
BY HARD AND TIMELY HITTING
 BARONS TROUNCE CINCINNATI
MESSENGER AND JOHNSTON SLUG BALL AT TERRIFIC CLIP. CHAPUT PITCHES WELL AND BOYD SHOWS FORM

By systematic and timely slugging the yesterday by the score of Il to 5 in very interesting game. Chaput and Boyd pitched nicely for the Barons, while Bagby and Suggs. who was hit hard, mounted the hill for the Reds. The Barons started off strongly and ended strongly, and never were the Reds in the lead. The feature of the game was the slugging of Ellam and Messenger for the Barons.
 The Barons got an early lead After "Chub" Chaput had sent the first three Reds-Bescher Bates and Hoblitzell-down in order the Barons came to the bat Marcan. first up, waited until Bagby pre- scented him with a ticket to first on four bad balls. Then Messenger stepped to the plate. and smashed out two bagger to left field. He was stopped at second by fast fielding, while LIP Marcan trotted in with the first run. Then Jimmy John- ston hit to the third baseman and was thrown out at first however he advanced Messenger to third. Ems was called out swhen he struck at three bad ones.
 Roy Ellam, the blond youth, then mounted the box and stepped into one of Bagbys twisters and damned 1t out to right field for two bags Messenger scored, being the second to count. The side was retired when Carroll was called out on strikes
 The Reds scored their first tally in the second inning. Marsans, the Cuban right fielder. was given a base on balls Egan hit to Carroll, who fielded the ball and threw to second base, but neither Mar can or Ellam covered the base, and both runners were safe Then Eddie Grant sacrificed the runners to third and second respectively, when he hit neat bunt to the pitcher Marsans scored when Esmond hit slow ball to Ellam. who could do nothing more than retire him at the initial sack.
 The Barons failed to score in the second and third, while the Red Legs counted two in their half of the third inning. Earl Bagby, who was the first at bat, slasned out a two bagger to left field He was advanced to third base when Bescher beat out an infield hit to the third corner. Bates stung one of "Chub'sp blenders on the nose to center field. which Johnston caught after hard run. He scored Bagby on the hit. Hoblitzell was given a base on balls, making two on bases. as Bescher was then on third, while Hobby mounted first base. The doctor then pil- fered the keystone. and Bescher scored when Lemon threw badly to second. The next two batters was easy outs, for "Chub" made Marsans and Egan bite at his curves and both sat down on easy strikeouts. However, the score remained tied.
 The Barons came back at the Reds in the last half of the fourth. Ellam was given a base on balls by Bagby, who seemed to be unable to locate the plate successfully after many attempts. Car roll struck out. but Ellam then pilfered second. When Lemon bingled to left, he scored. while Lee went to second on tho throw in. Chaput hit to the pitcher and was out at first, but Lemon ad vanced to third and scored when Mar

can reached first on Esmond's bad throw to catch him at first. Messenger retired the side by hitting a hot grounder to the pitcher
 Chaput held the Cincinnati lads with out score in the next two innings. and to one scratch hit. He was replaced by Boyd at the first of the seventh The 'spit-bal'' artist held the Reds without a hit in the seventh, but Egan knocked one through second in the eighth.
 When the Barons came to the bat in the eighth, they scored six runs off of Twirler George Suggs, who succeeded Bagby in the sixth. Ems first up for the Barons, was safe at first when Hob litzell failed to hold a throw to catch Mutz He was safe at second, when Mc- Bride reached first on 'bone-headed' play of the Reds. Ellam came up next and rapped out & juicy bingle to center. All runners advanced one base. Then Carroll beat out an infield hit to the second baseman, and Ems counted. This left the bases drunk, and big Bill Dilger stepped up at the plate. He pickled the first bender that Suggs shot across the plate for three bagger to left field and cleaned up the bases. Had not his sore knee retarded his speed, he would have probably scored home run. It was an awful hard line drive and the fielder had to trot to the fence to get it.
 The Reds scored two runs in the last half of the ninth. After Grant was safe at first on a hard hit ball, which Ellam fielded and threw badly to Ems, Esmond popped up to the third baseman. Tommy Clark, the peppery shortstop, swatted the pill to left field and advanced Eddie Grant to third. Larry Mclean, who was substituted to bat for Suggs, hit a long fly to Johnston in center, and scored Grant. Mcdonald was substituted for Miller at the bat, and swatted the pel- let on the rim to left field for two bagger, and scored Clark. However Bates was out on an easy grounder, Ellam to Ems.
 The feature of the game was the slug ging of Ellam and Messenger. who hit the ball with regularity and at every and secured base on balls out of four times at the plate. Messenger made a three bagger, two bagger and a single out of five times at bat. He scored two runs and drove in two other runners.
 Both of the Barons pitchers did finely. Chaput seemed to have the Reds at his mercy, while Boyd had things his way also Chaput looks very good and seemed to be cool at all times. Although he all lowed three bases on balls for six in nings, he struck out four Reds and held them to one-half hit per session.
 Boyd, who appeared for his first time in a regular exhibition game looked fine and seemed to have everything Boyd has '.spitter'' that works finely and he looks like he knows how to pitch His curves broke nicely and he has good

Baltimore was the scene of my toughest
 decision The play came up in game
 late last year between the Rochester and Baltimore teams. The two clubs
 were fighting for first place at the time,
 @ margin of only a few games separat-
 ing them. The ruling favored the visit
 ing team, and as result had rather
 strenuous time of it at the close of the
 contest.
 The decision came in the tenth inning, with the bases filled, two men out and the score d tie. Alperman. who was up in the pinch, hit the ball to Adkins. who was pitching for Baltimore. Adkins
 uses the spitball delivery great deal
 and as he picked up the ball he rubbed it on his uniform, so as to prevent the possibility of a wild throw.
 In the meantime Alperman was tearing flor first at top speed. Adkins finally threw the ball and had Alperman at first by couple of steps Schmidt was play ing first base for Baltimore. and as the
 ball struck his glove, I started to wave the runner out. Unfortunately he dropped
 the ball. and just as he did so he and Alperman came together with great force. Naturally I was forced to call the base runner safe, and in the miX-up two Rochester players crossed the plate, those two runs being enough to win the game.
 There was nothing to the play, the ball had beat the runner but was dropped by the first baseman, and before he could recover it the runner had collided with him. Schmidt, with no other excuse to offer. claimed the runner had intention ally knocked the ball out of his hands
 The fact that he had dropped the ball before the runner reached him made such a claim absurd
 While this game did not decide a. pennant, still 1t put a llink In Baltimores chances I was working in the neigh borhood of second when the last man was retired The crowd made a rush at me, but the policemen reached me first and ouelled the disturbance. The officers took me in safety to the rear of the
 grandstand and. thinking everything was
 all right. left me. A moment later some
 thoughtful person dropped pop bottle | on my head, and made me take the count It was nothing serious, and I was
 back on the job the next day, but shall always remember Baltimore and | that decision.

Manager MoIesworth, together with | hther Barons, will leave this morning al o'clock for Selma, where the Barons will play the Selma team of the South eastern league a series of two games beginning this afternoon. Molesworth carried four pitchers, Foxen, Randall Smith and Barker, along for the hurlins staff and both catchers, Diger and Lee Lemon.
 He announced last night that the four pitchers mentioned above seemed to be tn good condition and said that he Tell fl would do them good to get into the game. He will take along Joe Rapp, who will play third base. Rapp's mother lives hear Selma and he wanted to see her, and so Molesworth decided to take him along. Ellam will cover the initial sack, while Mutz Ems will cover first and LIP Marcan will cavort at the keystone.
 At Selma Manager Link Stickney. who recently ruined the higher education or a young lady at Brenau college by sign- dng a life contract with her, seems to have a splendid team down at Selma and he should cause the hefty Barons lot of trouble with his promising bunch Of men. Earl Hanna, who formerly drew his shekels from the local association, will no doubt cavort about in the outheld against the Birmingham squad. Chancey one of the leading hitters in the South' eastern league last season, will play an other position in the outfield, while Man ager Stickney will compete the trio.
 pr. Mack Robinson, another Baror who Is now drawing pay from the Selma association, may have arrived in Selma and if so he will probably try to trounce the Barons.
 Molesworth decided that the veteran McGilvray would fare better in Bir- tningham as he is not so strong" fol these long road trips and he finally de- cided to carry the youngster Ems. The regular outfield will be taken along. MeBride will play left field, Jimmy Johnston will cavort in center, while Bob Messenger will play in right to

favorite. and that popular favorite should fail to hit the ball, the fans will hold finn responsible.
 It is evident, therefore, that he should follow his own nose and not that of any other individual.
 There are several other positions at pres ent thrilled which must be filled by cap able men. There is second base. There is third base. There is the pitchers box. There is the catching department In no one of these must he make mistake. Therefore, there is all the more reason that he proceed in aceodance with his own judgment. He will be blamed If ne makes a mistake 1t matter not whether that mistake is the result of directors in- terferng, or the gratuitous advice of a newspaper scribe.
 Go to it, Manage Molesworth. We be- lieve that you are capable to selecting your team. At any rate. you will be re- sponsible for the selection. If you want Mcbride it is all right with everybody that is if Mcbride makes good If you want Mowrey, the same holds.
 But finish well. That's the point.

WORDSWORTH TO PLAY TWO GAMES WITH SELMA TEAM

Manager Molesworth has a difficult job In front of him.
 He will be forced to select team to represent Birmingham in the Southern league this season, and it Is essential that he select a team which will finish in the first division.
 Should he fail he will be held respon- eible. He is on his own resources. His will be the reward or the adverse cuti- csm.
 Therefore it would be folly for him to net on the advice of any individual when that advice does not conform to his own idea. It would be folly for him to permit his iudement to be swayed by anything that the directors might tell him, or any lining which might appear in print
 His task is delicate one. For instance, he will have to make a decision between Mcbride and Mowrey. Both men have good points. Should he selecHone and he prove a failure, the fans will hold him re- eponsihle Should he select the popular
