be ripe for the Southern league.
Their likeness to each other is remark
able; in fact, their father declares that
he can't tell them apart, certain it Is no
stranger can. When they were babies
their mother had to distinguish them by
the means of pink ribbon on one and a
blue ribbon on the other. And it was
by means of the ribbons that they were
ehristened and baptised. One day the
mother left them in charge of a negro
nurse who gave the babes a bath and in
doing so mixed up the clothes and rib
bons, and to this day SO far as the parents
know Louie may be Fred or Fred may
be Louie, for the nurse merely guessed
at which babe wore the pink ribbon and
which one wore the blue.
Naturally the twins have had many ex-
perences, and sometimes one has been
blamed for some mischief the other had
done. Their mother had to put them alb
soutely on their honor in regard to pun
ishment, for all they had to do was one

FRED ANTWINE

carton Alolesworth the cherubc and
rctund manager of the birmingham Bar
ons, has demonstrated that he is a man of
many parts. Starting in the game that
attracts more attention, generally speak
ing, than the doings of senile senators or
combative congressman, he gained fame
successfully as a pitcher, outfielder, bat
ter, captain and manager. In each ca
pacity he ranked with the best and was
accorded the plaudits of the multitudes
for many seasons. But despite his great
record as ball player his greatest talent
lay dormant during the many years he ca
vorted around the garden lambasting the
ozone, and occasionally hitting the pill ON
the nose for one bag or more That talent
was discovering embryo ball players. His
Judgment has been proven to be sound in
this respect, and wherever the parting of
the ways comes between him and the
Baron management he will doubtless be
in great demand as a scout.
Moesworth has got wise to the fact
that it is not absolutely necessary to
scour the northeast to find ball players;
he has found that the south is a fruitful
field for future baseball cracks Many

1t is also rumored that several of the

twin battery, for in addition to their quail
