JOHN DOOLEY SIGNS
 UP WITH BESSEMER

Pitcher John Dooley, who played with the Decatur team last year in the Southeastern league, returned his con tract to owner Manasco yesterday with his signature attached Dooley played nice ball last year for the cellar champ ions and hopes to do much better tlfis year. He comes from Columbia, Tenn, report on March 25.
 Second Baseman Reagan sent back his contract unsigned, stating that he would refuse to, play for the amount offered. He will no doubt come into the folds before the season Is begun, however. Reagan had but a fair aver age last season, He is another holdout for more money, but the manager is not worrying over his refusal. 7
 Many contracts for new men are out and it is probable that many as 30 recruits will answer present at re- porting time. MT. Manasco stated yes 1 terday that he had his eye on a mana ger and that he would announce this name as soon as he agreed to terms. one of the many contracts is to a
 first class first sacl<er, who will no do1bt prove a sensation if he is land ed. The owner also announced that he wouF3 have about five candidates for l the sbackstop and large number of
 pitchers The team will be composed almost wholly of youngsters with an older player as manager.

THE SEASON OF SUCCESS

pilot of the tepid Turtles, is hoping that Memphis will resume the place to which 1t is entitled.
 B. Schwartz every morning in the Nash vile Democrat is telling the people about the remarkable young men whom he with care and pains has succeeded in grabbing, Therefore, it is reasonable to suppose that when the new season ambles out the Volunteers will be in possession of the topmost bough.
 Mique Finn down in Mobile is perform ing miracles every day. and he has in- spired the scribes of that city with a beautiful dream. Were Mobile to finish on top this year, Finn would be vindi- cated.
 j. Dobbs of Montgomery is going some himself in the saluhrious climate of the present season of bubbles. We would not tbe surprised were Montgomery to finish on the bottom this year. The Sleepers have had two seasons of pros perity and they are so constituted tha. with them a very little bit of a good thing goes a long ways.
 So it is seen that Birmingham, through, necessity, must finish on the bottom Fuzzy Woodruff. the aliterative adjective of the Atlanta Constitution, predicted last week that on the rear guard we would find our post in September The following day he qualified that statement by the averment, Unless Rick Wood- ward does his usual social stunt of turn- ing over barrel O rtwo of good gold"

TOKEN AND T. A. KANE
 WILL REPORT TODAY

Bill Foxen and T. A. Kane, a recent re- crult, will be the first out of towns Barons to report as they will arrive today from Denafiy, N. J. Bill recently wrote Man ager Molesworth stating that he would arrive in Birmingham on the first of March, and therefore will report today. Foxen is expecting to have the best year that he has ever had and Is determined to get into shape early.
 Bill will no doubt prove to be one of the best southpaws that the Barons will have as he pitched wonderful ball toward the last of the 1911 season. He twirled in such form that a no hit game was one of his achievements. When he is in good condition there are few who can beat him. He is speedy. crafty and has fine a~- sortment of curves.
 The southraw believes that he will do well this year, but as he usually has trou- ble in getting into good form he has de- cided to report just about 10 days before the others come. He will be accompanied by a young semi-pro pitcher named Kane, whom he claims is an able twirler. Kane pitched amateur ball last season for the Denahy team and according to the other writer should go well here.
 If the two report on time it IS probable that the first workout will take place on Saturday if the weather is not bad. Molesworth, Charley Bell, Foxen and Kane will be in town and this will be enough to start practice with. The dia- mond is in excellent shape and the grounds are in readiness for the practice season. The other Barons will report or March F. excepting Marcan, who mas written that he will report on March H.

, or the pitching corps the three men left over from last season are all most 1 likely to stick this season out with the Mobile team. Al Demaree pitched grand ball for Mobile and Finn is stuck on his work. Campbell will no doubt prove to be a good steady twirler this season, al- though he was sick in 1911. lie will be one of the five twrlers. Burleson, on whom all local fans are betting to prove the sen- sation of the Year, will probably land a position on the staff as he pitched phe- nomenal bah at times last season. Shontz and Berger look to be the other two who will land the regular jobs, though Finn writes that he has several whirlwind youngsters.
 Joe Dunn is certain to be one of the regular catchers. Finn states that while Joe is not much of a hitter, he regards the big backstop as one of the best in the league. Of the others, Vance, from the Union association, Is touted as a cer- tainty.
 Dave Rowan at first base and Starr at second are about the only two men on the club who will not find opposition, Rowan being all alone for the job at the initial corner. Starr has a man fighting him for the keystone station job, but Starr is said to be an excellent man, and will almost surely land a regular. It is said that he will captain the Mobile club this season.
 At short Dee Walsh, the youngster from, last years club, is back and will prob ably get the call over Joe Kneaves from the Western league. Walsh showed won derful ability last season for a youngster and Finn believes him to be a coming ball player. Kneaves is touted as being a rat ting fast shortstop and corl1ing good hitter It Is probable that Manager Finn will shift him over to third, where the hottest fight of the spring season will be waged for the regular berth, as four men are slated for tryouts. However. 1t is rumored that Finn will land 8 third sacker from the Giants, as they have a couple of slashing recruits who are hardly good enough to beat Herzog out.
 Giants to Help
 Manager Finn, as will be seen has not completed his outfied. He has but two men slated for tryouts. He is not worry ins in the least, however, about this de- partment of his club, as Manager Me- Graw of the Giants is expected to turn him over an entire outield, or surely two gardeners. In this department Finn ex- poets his hitting strength and looks for two men from McGraw who can hit at a 300 clip in this league.
 With Manager Finn at the helm and the outlook good for a first division team, local baseball officials and fans are jubi- lant. That the stockholders of the club believe they have a good proposition this season was shown when they turned down Little Rocks offer of $25000 for the fran ehse. If Mobile is not in the race this season, keenest disappointment will be felt here, as the fans are keyed up to the prospects of winning team with Finn as pilot.

MARCAN IN DANGER

Of the "favorites" of last year. Row dy' Elliott has gone to Nashville, Bert Maxwell has gone to New York, Artie Phelan has gone to Cincinnati, M Kent has gone to Brooklyn, B. Prough has gone to Cincinnati, and the chances are that c. Mcbride and A. Marcan are pre- pairing to go and perform miracles in the camp of some common enemy.
 It is very probable, in other words, that Marcan will not play baseball for Bir- mingham this season. He is good field er-there are few better. He is smart there are few smarter But he has not starred especially as a deliverer of the chloroform clout, and 1t is understood that there are still other objections.
 Carroll, a youngster from the Carolina circuit, will reach Birmingham prior to Marcan. He will immediately be stationed on the keystone. If he shows, he will stay there. If he doesn't, stranger will be imported.
 No official announcement to this effect has been made. But the handwriting has appeared on the tapestry.

 A LIKELY BUNCH AT MOBILE
By BEN II. THOMAS

Mobile, February 29-(Special.)-In an- swer to call from Manager Mique Finn. 9 athletes will assemble in Mobile on March 10. While the Mobile club will prob ably be selected from this. number the new Gull leader depends almost entirely upon his friend, Muggsy McGraw, to SUD- ply him with three outieders, though these will probably not be-tursed over un- til the season has opened.
 Of the 9 who will report here, nine are candidates for the nfield. nine are pitch CTS, four would serve in the backstopping department, two claim honors as outfield- CTS, while the others will try for the po- sition of utility man. When the Mobile club hits the road this season fans over the circuit will see many new faces, as Manager Finn has sold, traded or other wise disposed of all but about five of the men on last years club.
 Only Five Left
 These are Pitchers Al Demaree, a con sistent winner last season; Billy Camp bell, the rapid fire southpaw; Burleson of strikeout fame, drafted by Brooklyn but turned back; Shortstop Dee Walsh,
 
 may be used as utility man. George Rohe, the veteran, still remains with the Mobile club, but he will be disposed of before the season opens.
 Harry Swacina, Dicky Bayless and other favorites have been sold, and though Manager Finn hated to see the hard hit ting first baseman get away, he made 1t known that he would not be satisfied here after having held the job of man. ager Bayless and the local association differed as to the salary proposition. Swacina goes to Newark in the InteNna- tional league and Bayless to Vernon, Cal.
 The men who will report to Mobile are: First base. Dave Rowan, bought from Toronto. Second base. Charley Starr, bought from Buffalo; c. J. Bryan, semi pro. Shortstop, Dee Walsh, from last years club, Joe Kneaves secured from Omaha in a trade for Pitcher Jack Ryan. Third base. Joe F'lannery, who played in the Connecticut league in 1910; J.

"CAPTAIN" ELLAM

No official announcement has been made to this effect, but the odds are about 100 to 1 that the man with Apollo curs will bear that title.
 Manager Molesworth thinks well of the judgment of the lightning shortstop. He considers him a safer man than Mar can and a man who can think just as quickly Therefore, he will get the job. which in virtue of the managers inten- tion to sit on the bench is on the plum tree.
 Ellam is popular in Birmingham He came green recuit, a mass of nerves. The gods of the bleachers gda after him but the stood his ground. He made his errors and turned redder at the misses of the people. But the kept on fighting and up to the present time he it is who possesses his goat.

PATENTEE CANNOT
 FIX HIS OWN PRICES

Washington. February 29.-Patent med icines and other patented articles may be sold without reference to the prices fixed by the patentee.
 This was the opinion handed down to- day by Justice Wright in the equity court when he refused the application of drug manufacturing concern for an in- junction to prevent local druggist from cutting prices without the manufactur ing concerns permission. The court de- clared that the patentee of an article could control the price by which it should be sold by ''licensee," but that once the article had found it's way to the open market by outright purchase all rights to fix the price passed from the patentee.
 It was admitted that the retail druggist was not a ''licensee."

If we had our way we would remodel this sorry scheme of things. There would be no winter with it's frost and snow, no autumn with its yellowing leaf and winds that sigh. There would be no summer with it's heat and it's blisters. and no spring with its fclxle sun and devlish rain. ss
 We would establish one season for the entire year round. It would be the pres ent--that which precedes the dawn of the period in which the boys and old men play baseball. Now we are dreaming and hoping and anticipating. In lurid type on the horizon our success is painted In this season there is no such word as fall.

In vain, you might mention the impossibility of more than one club finishing on the top of the heap. No man in this time of lotus eating will permit himself to get wide awake.

INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT TAFT
 ON TARIFF MAKING
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

 --~----~~>->-~>-~>----> board but by the time the divergence has become so marked and continued so long as to make change in this sched- ule desirable, everybody will be pre- pared for it and can estimate just about how much of a change it ought to be.
 Eliminates Surprise
 This eliminates the now customary shock of surprise. Thus we have high ly important part of the work of law making brought doWn to an almost automatic basis at any rate, we can always be sure of an automatic warn- ing of what had better be done; and if Congress doesn't do it, or the Pres ident withholds his approval from a tariff amendment manifestly right, the people will know where to place the responsibility. At one stroke We can get rid of a lot of the old scandals about log rolling and favoritism, and the charges of perjury and bribery which were freely bandied between the parties in past times; make our tariff changes gradual instead of precipitate. and partial instead of sweeping; and be able to defend a rate, when fixed, by showing 1t extends to the home pro- ducer. Can any reasonable citizen ob- iect to such a logicai and self con- sistent law as a substitute for our present practice of revising the tariff by rule of thumb?
 Payne Tariff an Illustration
 For a very recent illustration, take the Payne tariff act There has been loud outcry against it on the part of public speakers and writers, sometimes for cause
