SORE ARM MAY COST BARONS
ONE OF LEAGUES STAR HURLERS
BOYD'S WING CONTINUES BAD
AND MAY REQUIRE 30 DAYS
FOR CURE-MOLESWoRTH is
CONSIDERABLY WORRIED

Ray Boyd, who had more stuff than
any other Southern league pitcher last
season. may be lost to the Barons this
year on account of a sore arm.
The offending wing has shown no i'm
provement, and Manager AIolesworth fig
ures that 80 days will elapse before the
pitcher can be sent to the hill.
In the meantime three young Fingers
are showing SO much form that the man
ager figures 1t would be suicidal to cut
them adrift pending the developments in
Boyd's condition.
Should the youngsters be canned and
Boyd round into shape, all would be we'll.
But should his arm prove to be bad for
season, all would be wrong. .
This is the situation that is causing the
manager to wrinkle his brow. The play
ers are worried, too. and the fans arc
speculating.
Should Boyd be released, the following
pitchers would remain: fToxen, Prough,
Hardgrove, Sloan, Fittery and Thomp-
son. The manager would then have three
fingers who could work every other day
and three regulars who would be able to
take their regular turns. Should Boyd
be retained. however, he would have to
dispose of couple of the youngsters. He
would then have but one recruit left,
Boyd out of condition, Prough waiting
for hot weather and Foxen unable to go
to the hill oftener than six times month.
Molesworth hasn't yet settled the prob
lem, but the handwriting appears 10 be
on the wall. In condition, Boyd is as
good finger as has been in the league
for many seasons.

SENNO SENT BACK
TO OTTUMWA CLUB

Returning from Nashville yesterday
morning, Manager Molesworth announced
the release of Outfeder Dan Senno TO
the Ottumwa club from which he was
drafted
senno will begin the trip northWaro
within a day or two. He is considered
good man, but not quite strong enough
for Southern league society.
Outfielder Bodus will be played regu-
larly in center field until another man IS
obtained Bodus is considered a neat
swatter with fine pair of hands and q
good throwing arm. He is said to be
slow, however, on the bases.

consistency. Birmingham, Mont
gomery and Nashville have dis
played good middling wares, with
the chances that Birmingham will
finish in advance OF the other two.
Long road trips are about to begin.
Atlanta Will play 19 games on for
eign soil. after which the staying
power of the Crackers will have
been demonstrated. IL they hold
their own on the road trip, they
viii be the prime contenders for
the bunting.
Howard Camnitz, who, incidental
ly, started his career in Mississippi,
after he had twirled for the Central
University of Kentucky and lost
two games in a series to the Uni
versity of Alabama, Fred Moore of
Birmingham having been the latter
university's finger, predicts that
the Pittsburg Corsairs will win the
pennant of the National league by
margin of 10 games. Howard had
lust won a shutout victory from
the Cardinals and was feeling his
oats.
However, it begins to appear cer-
tain that Pittsburg will be in the
hunt for the entire season. Fred
Clarkes aggregation is going SUI
perbly at the present time, although
the mighty Honus Wagner is still
benched with wrenched knee.
Wagner is one of the few supreme
ball players, and when he returns
to the battle. the Pirate stock will
take several additional leaps to the
fore.
New York. 1t is certain. will be
contender, while Philadelphia and
Chicago also should finish in the
first division.
In the American league, the kth-
letics have forged to the front and
are now the favorites to cop the
flag. With Bender and Coombs in
shape, it is the general belief that
the Mackmen compose the strong
est aggregation in the world. Ben
der and Coombs so far have shown
only fair form, but better than at
this time last season. Eddie Plank
is still the best southpaw in the
business--a statement little
broad. but very true, just the same.
Griffiths Washington gang is
causing the fans to sit up and take
notice. The Senators. as a matter
of fact, are going to scrap 1t out
until the finish with the Athletics.
IT Is scarcely considered probable
that Boston will finish higher than
third, although the sterling Joe
Wood has not yet got into real,
normal condition.
They are panning Frank Chance
because the Yankees fail to win,
Charles w. Murphy is laughing in
his sleeve. But Chance. the chances
are. will show something yet. He
has been up against the best clubs
in the American league and his
string of defeats might have been
expected We have no personal re-
gard for the so-called peerless
leader" but believe. nevertheless
that he has strong points-although
up to the present moment, he mas
failed to show them.
As whole. the play In the big
show seems to be better this season.
There are no clubs helplessly weak
The st. Louis Browns are gong
better than usual. Brooklyn has
been playing splendidly. The Bos-
ton Braves and the Cardinals nave

~ ECURE in the knowledge of
their own strength and
~ weakness, the Barons have
absolutely no fear of Atlanta.
In virtue of the long lead and the
undisputed swatting ability of the
Crackers, this attitude of the bold
and battle Scared appears peculiar.
Bob Messenger yesterday morn
ing, in this connection, said;
IF we can make as many runs
against Atlantas pitchers as Chat-
tanooga made in the games played
this week, and that we should do so
is certain, tho Crackers Will not
make as many runs against our
pitchers as they made against the
Fingers of the Lookouts.'
Bob, in other words, figures that
If Chattanooga can make six, seven
and eight runs against Atlanta, Bir-
mingham can; and that although
Atlanta can hit the ball hard,
Atlanta can't make nine, ten, and
eleven runs against the Baron
pitchers.
And Bob is right too.
The fine spirit of the Barons
was apparent on their return from
Nashville yesterday morning. They
were bubbling over with enthus-
iasm. They were confident of show
ing a clean pair of heels of the
other clubs of the league, They
knew and reflected their knowledge
that they are Playing good base
ball-hitting, running and pitching.
And they knew that in the near fu-
ture little more hitting strength
will be added.
Mcbride. the veteran outfielder,
is playing a better game today than
in several seasons. He is fielding
as he has always fielded, finely.
And his hits are coming more regu-
larly and more timely. He is hav-
ing a great spring season. And
Messenger is In finer fettle than
ever before. AS a matter of fact,
his hitting was mainly instrumental
in winning several games last
week. Messenger and Mcbride, it
might be stated, with considerable
assistance from Bodus, have done
practically all of the swatting for
the locals on the road trip just con-
cluded.
The races in the several leagues
are getting under great headway,
and time has come when one with
a certain degree of accuracy may
risk his judgment in predicting. In
the Southern, it is unmistakable
that Atlanta and Mobile have
shown the best form, Atlanta as a
result of it's hitting, and Mobile as
a result of it's all round excellence.
Memphis, made up in the most part
of veterans. will show later with
good hitting club New Orleans and
Chattanooga appear weak at the
present time. New Orleans is a sore
disappointment. and the Pei fans
are panning the chubby Cholly.
There is something radically wrong
with Chattanooga, for the club. de-
spite it's apparent paper strength
is not winning with the slightest

Games Today

Although the Barons were slightly out
hit by the lowly followers of Kid Elber-
field yesterday afternoon, and although
they twice bobbled during the contest
while their opponents from Chattanooga
played erroress ball. they punched their
bingles in juicy clusters, played jamup
ball when runs were threatened, and an
nexed the first contest of the Lookout
series by a to score.
BELL Cord Bil'' Chappelle was assigned
mound duty by Manager Elberfeld, and
In addition to being as wild as the pro-
verbal Texas long-horn, he served up
a repertoire of offerings which failed COM
pletely to mystify the Baron hitters. Al
though Chappelle was hit frequently dur
ing the first few innings, the affair was
far from slugging match. In the first
the Barons annexed one counter, but Bill
only smiled. In the second, they dupli-
Gated, and Bills smile only degenerated
into a grin. In the third they scored an
other and the grin became sickly. In
the fourth they duplicated the feat oil
the previous three innings, and smile
and grin disappeared, while Bill ground
the sphere into his hip and began to
grumble with the umpire. In the fifth,
BoGus, first up, waked-and Bill quit.
The agonizing regularity was too much
for the nerves of the Lookout hurler.
He tossed his glove upon the ground, and
with a few lovable words of farewell TO
Umpire Stoclxdale. he ambled to the
bench Troy succeeded him, and although
wild his work was very creditable and
he held the Barons to lone tally
throughout the remainder of the game.
Omah Hardgrove, who occupied the
hurting station for the Barons, was
touched up with a fair degree OF ire
queney, but he was generally impregnabie
when hits meant tallies, and his support
at times was brilliant. ELAN, Carroll
and Mcbride were the stars in the de-
fensive department. despite the fact that
ELAN is accredited with an error. Nc
Brides stab homeward killing Flick at
the plate when that individual had Just
registered a three cushion walop and was
endeavoring to score on the play, saved
she Barons a rum, and incidentally
checked a batting rally ELAN and Car
roll twice brought the stands TO their
feet by brilliant fielding.
After things were apparently sewed up
and marked with a "B,' Hardgrove
slowed up perceptbly. As a consequence
the Lookouts threw scare into the
Baron fandom annexing three counters
and registering several vicious bingles.
uardgrove proved master of the situa-
ton when his opponents really got chesty,
however, held them to their three lone

on the part of Montgomery gave the
Pelicans several runs. c.. Brown, who

when he was pounded for five hits and
three runs and was sent to the club
