ELE VEN BARONS ONCE
CA>VORTED IN MAJORS
Mcdonald Foxen, Messenger Molesworth Gregory Ellam
Kniseley Mayer McGvray Evans and Prough Had Major
Trials-Many May Advance This Year
BY ASA RouNTREE, JR.

Mayer, Moley Mcdonald and Kniseley
dwelt for any length of time in select
company.
Foxen sojourned in fast company four
years, making his debut in 1908 with the
Philadelphia Nationals. Three of these
years he spent with the Phillies and the
last one with the Cubs, going to them
in part payment for Luderus The Barons
secured him after Chance had relegated
him to Atlanta.
Molesworth was in the majors some Is
years ago with the Washington Senators.
He drew monthly stipend from this
club for two years before being shipped
back to the minors.
Mayer was beckoned upwards by the
Chicago White Sox in the fall of 1911.
He spent the whole of last season within
Ban Johnson's circuit and was released
to Birmingham with a string attached
to him during the winter.
kniseley and Mcdonald also fingered
in majordom last year, but in a different
league from Mayer. The former was
with Cincinnati and the Chicago Cubs
and the latter with the Boston Braves,
Cincinnati and the Chicago Nationals.
OF the remaining six Barons Evans was
forwarded up in 1911 while Gregory went
upward last year Evans was sold to
the New York Giants and Gregory to
the Cincinnati Reds
Captain ELAN journed northward in
1910 to Cincinnati, while Prough went to
the same burg year later. McGilvfay
received his summons in 1903, while play
ing with Pueblo. The last remaining
member of the sextet, Messenger went
up via an optional agreement with
Charles ComislSey in 1911.
While these players have received
chances and have failed to deliver the
goods, it does not necessarily mean that
never again will they receive favor in
big league circles. In fact, II reports
are true, a few of this same bunch of
cast-offs next year will once more have
chance to frO1ic on hip leaQ11e greens
