BENDER AND TAFT HOLD THE
BARONS HELPLESS = FOXEN
SHOWS GREAT FORM--GIANTS
MONDAY

With Bender and Taft pitching win
ming ball throughout, Connie Mack's yam
nigans captured the second and last ex :
hibition game of the series at Rickwood
Field yesterday by a 8 to o score.
The contest was fast and well played,
and until the eighth inning the major
league colts led the Barons by but one
tally.
Molesworth sent two of his regular
hurlers to the mound for the first time
this season, and both of them showed
rare form. Foxen was wild during the
early innings, and one run was scored
off of his delivery in the first inning,
but thereafter he pitched gilt-edged ball,
holding the Colts to three safeties. Hard
grove who succeeded him, was also in
great form, and although two runs were
made during his stay on the mound loose
support was directly responsible for the
Colts chance to count. He yielded but
three hits, gave up one base on balls
and forced three of Connie Mack's hopes
to whiff fruitlessly at his benders.
The result of the game is told in the
errors on the part of the Barons. In
the first inning, after Brady had secured
a base on balls. Bill McGilvray erred
on a throw from Foxen, allowing the
Athletic to take second. Daley hit safe
", sending Brady to third, from which
station he scored moment later when
Dilger threw wild in attempting to catch
Daley at second.
In the eighth inning, after Taft had
gone out, McGivray to Hardgrove. Lii
Marcan allowed an easy bounder to roll
between his feet, giving Stevenson life
on first Brady delivered moment later
and Stevenson scored Hardgrove was
unsteadied for a moment and passed Da-
ley. Flick, next up, singled and Brady
scored A fast double play ended the
inning.
Bender and Taft kept the Barons safe
| throughout. The five bingles secured by
Moley's men were widely scattered, no
| two coming in the same inning, while
the Athletic hurlers were invincible when

Bender especially had the Barons at
his mercy. The big Indian appeared con-
tent to let his teammates take care of
the bounders from the Barons sticks
during most of the time. When threat

not be overlooked. The veteran right
handler was in fine fettle yesterday and
kept the Athletics guessing during all
but one inning while in the box. Hard
grove showed an excellent assortment of
benders and shoots, and with the jamb-
lid support received by the major hurl-
ers he would not have been scored upon.
Those who are lamenting the fact that
Almeida Is lost to the Baron club this
season, have only to take look at Char
lie Carroll to be assured that the alb
sence of the Cuban is not going to be
felt to any considerable degree during
the coming season. Unless all signs go
awry, this utility player of last season is
going to be heard from at frequent in
tervals this season. He is playing a
great fielding game at present, accept
ing anything that has the misfortune to
get in his way around the third station
in faultless style. And what is more to
the point, the boy is keeping them all
awake by his heavy slugging. He found
one of Chief Benders shoots yesterday
for three bases out of three trips to the
plate, and on Friday he did the same
stunt when served with a choice offer
ing by Iron Man Coombs. lifting,
according to Carleton Molesworth, Is all
that keeps Carroll from being the best
all round third baseman in the Southern
league today. and If the boy keeps up
his present stride, he is likely TO be
found doing regular duty at third on
the Baron line-up this summer.

ERRORS IN SCHEDULE HAVE
BEEN KNOWN FOR SOME TIME
President Baugh of Opinion That for Correction No Special
Session of Directors Will Be Necessary Scramble
for Sunday Games Responsible

That there has been knowledge of the
schedule for some time was a statement
yesterday afternoon by r. III. Baugh,
president of the local association.
The schedule shows that Montgomery
is scheduled to play 144 games, New Or
leans 14s. and Memphis 141. All other
clubs are billed to play but 40 games.
Il haven't made a study of the sched-
ule," stated Mr.. Baugh. "hut C. q. Coll
son of Mobile some weeks ago, called my
attention to the discrepancies. 1t is prob
able that the errors crept in during the
struggle for Sunday games

Asked how the correction would be made,
Mr.. Baugh said: 1T viii not be neces-
sary, in my opinion. for the directors TO
meet again. I presume that Judge kay-
anaugh will simply issue a bulletin putting
forth the necessary changes.
However, the fact that the schedule
has been approved and published may in
volve complications.
Mr.. Baugh seems to be under the opin-
ion that had Judge KaVanaugh been in at
tendance at the schedule meeting of the
directors there would now be no oe-
casion for making corrections in the
schedule.

STAR SOUTHPAW LOOKS BETTER
THAN YER-HARDGROVE IN
FINE SHAPE-ABOUT CHARLIE
CARROLL
BY CHARLES w. GREER

Bill Foxen looked mighty good yester-
cay, and if there is any truth in the as
sertions that have been going around
that the big fellow is lacking the prowess
that made him mainstay last season,
his work yesterday failed to show it.
1t is true he was somewhat wild at first,
as it was his first appearance on the
slab this season. but when he finally To-
Gated the plate the followers OF the
peerless Connie Mack fed from his hand.
He whitfield three of the Athletic bats
men, allowed but three widely scattered
bingles, and but for his wildness, coupled
with errors ON the part of his team
mates, he would have held the major
leaeuers without tally during his stay
on the mound.
Noticeable in Foxen's pitching yester-
DAY, in addition to the goodly assortment
of benders which he turned loose at in
tervals, was his almost uncanny move
ment to first. There is probably no hurler
in the game who has the deceptive mo-
ton toward the first sack that FoXen
has Two of the Athletics were caught
mapping in the first inning after they
had received free transportation to first
yesterday, and thereafter coaches kept
the Athletic baserunners in close prox-
unity to the bag while Bill was on duty.
Even the Peerless Mack smiled his ap-
probation of the big southpaw's work
as his youngsters were nipped off of the
bag by Bills deadly movement.
In speaking of the work of Foxen, the

tayette team In 1911 he pitched for the
North Birmingham team in the Birming-
ham City league and helped that team
win the pennant. Whitney is a SOUTH
paw, both in pitching and in batting.
Since arriving in Birmingham he has
made a favorable impression with Moles-
worth on account of the way which he
handles himself.
S. A. Rowe is the candidate who is
after backstop position. For several
years he has played on the Pell City team
and last year was the mainstay behind
the bat for Mulga. He is husky eoun-
try lad. being feet II inches in height
and weighing 167 pounds. He is right
hand batter and thrower
Bodus, the Milwaukee amateur, is out
after an outfield position. Little is known
of his past record except that he comes
highly recommended by Lii Arthur
Marcan. In practice he handles himself
like a veteran and has considerable speed.
He is a right hand batter and thrower.
In the winter he resides in Milwaukee,
where for several years he has played IN
the City league.

that no one on the field took notice of the
little trick OF the Red manager, which
trick, incidentally cost the Barons the
game.
In the ninth inning, ELAN, from sec
ond, attempted to score on a drive which
took the umpire in the back Manager
Tinker and His lieutenants. however, were
instantly alert, and the Baron run was
denied.
There is nothing unfair in the action of
a ball player in putting one over To
put one over is considered smart. and
every smart ball player attempts the
stunt of taking advantage of the other
fellow when he goes to sleep.
The older fans recall an afternoon in
which Mobile defeated Birmingham
after the third man had gone out, ac-
eording to the rules, but who had been
permitted to take his base, from which
he ultimately scored.
1t was in the ninth inning, and the
Barons had a lead of six runs. First
base was occupied. Fleharty struck a
batsman out, but the catcher failed to

WHO is WHO WITH BARON
RECRUITS-THE EX-AMATEURS

There are four amateurs-Moorer, Whit
ney, Rowe and Bodus-among the recruits
who are after positions on the 1918 Bir-
mingham team. Two are after pitching
positions, another after backstop job
and the last one after an outfield posi-
ton.
r. L. Moorer, who is a candidate for a
pitching position, has received good deal
of training as a pitcher. Since 1908 he has
pitched for the Evergreen team, and in
1911 was one of the regular pitchers on
the University of Alabama baseball team

RECOVERING

ROME, April ,14.-The pope has raj
lied in a wonderful manner from a
serious attack from which he suffered
yesterday. He appeare dto be on the
point of death last night, but physi-
clans report tonight indicates the dan
ger point, at least for the present, has
passed. -
DR.. Amici paid a visit to the sick
room shortly before midnight. Altho
the Pope's temperature was increased
slightly he found his general conai-
ton satisfactory. He administered a
heart stimulant and shortly the Pope
went to sleep.
Throughout the day his temperature
was normal. This indicated consider
able amelioration in his bronchial
symptoms, which was evidenced by
easier breathing and freedom from his
long periods OF coughing. In addition
the Pope is able to take some nourish-
ment.
Prof. Marchiafava tonight repeated
his assurance that if prudence was
exercised the Pope would recover.

PEACE DAY.

Peace Day will be widely celebrat.
ed in schools throughout the United
States this year. Although introduce
cd but a few years ago, this special
school day in behalf Of international
peace Is now regularly celebrated in
many American schools, and the indi-
cations are that it's observance this
year will be extended to thousands
more. Since May IS, the day set
aside as Peace Day falls on Sunday,
the school will probably hold their
exercises on the nearest school day.
Realizing the growing Importance
Of the peace movement among school
children, the United States bureau Of
Education has Just issued a Peace
Day bulletin for 1913 containing, be-
sides a suggested program for the
day, a number Of interesting short
articles On different phases Of the in.
ternational peace movement, accurate
and comprehensive information about
the various organizations working for
peace, and a collection Of a%ppropri-
ate poems and prose quotations by
famous peace lovers of many nations.
The material a compiled TO rthc
bureau by Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews,
secretary of the American School
Peace League, aud a World-knoWn
worker for peace.
The Temple Of Peace at the Hague,
the centenary Of peace between Eng
land and the United States, the COS
mopolitan movement in the colleges
and universities, and what it signifies
for universal peace, the work Of the
Hague tribunal and other peace agen.
cies, these are among the important
topics gathered together in the bu-
reau's bulletin, "The Promotion of
Peace" ,,
That the sentiment for observance
Of Peace Day in the schools is not
confined to the United States, but is
distinctly international, is shown in
the words Of NJ. Buisson, of Paris,
quoted in the bulletin. He says:
peace Day. Let it shine one day
in the year among all nations. The
whole year is consecrated, as it ought
to be, to the promotion Of love of
country, to teaching our duties to-
ward our native land, even to the ex-
tent OF sacrificing ourselves for her.
On this special day, however, it is in
order not to forget our country, but
to see her TRANSPORTED in the future,
to see her lead in the movement
which binds one nation to all others,
making a sort of higher country. the
federation of the United States of the
Civilized World. = N3tf >fh

Mrs. Minnie Clarke Budlong has re-
turned from Tower City, where she
has been working for the past week
in her capacity as secretary of the
library commission. Her work was
that of classifying a most unusual
library. 1t appears that a number
of years ago, Charlemange Tower,
who was later appointed ambassa-
dor to Russia, made the city a gift
of his library consisting OF about 1900
volumes on scince and religion. The
library had not been taken care of for
a good many years until recently
some interested party dug them from
their hiding place and had arrange
ments made to give them to the
school, and room "a provided in the
building for library purposes. There
are many English editions. among the
books that are now out OF print and
one especially fine work is that
known as Tanners Methods" This
book was gotten up by the tannig
