WORDSWORTH MAY BRING
ANOTHER STAR FLINGER
IN GAME AS A BARON
''Red' Holt Product of Birmingham Sandlots Will Be Given
Trial Next Sprng-Moley Hopes Southpaw Will Be
Smith or McTigue
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

can agreement has been reached where
by Holt will be given a trial with the
Barons next season. While he may not
prove experienced enough to star in the
Southern, we are willing to risk fate with
him. He is a promising left-handed
pitcher"
Should Holt prove a winner Molesworth
will have picked up three twirlers from
the sand lots. Pud McTigue, who was
with the Boston Nationals In 1912 and
1913. was signed for trial when he was
serving in batting practice to the Nash
Vile players. Clarence Smith, who is now
with the Chicago White Sox, was drawn
from the Birmingham City league by the
Baron boss. Both were very raw when
grabbed by the Birmingham club.
Holt is Birmingham boy and was the
star pitcher with the Light team in the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
league this season. He is a well built
youngster with a deceptive delivery.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-07

In Red Holt Molesworth believes he
has another youngster whom he will de-
velop into a star finger. The auburn
crested twirler of the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power league will be
signed by the Baron leader next season
and will report next spring. Manager
Wordsworth made the announcement yes
terday afternoon.
'Unless / am mistaken" quoth the Bir-
mingham leader, this youngster will de-
velop into big league pitcher. In an
other season he will have fine speed be-
hind his southpaw hooks. He has the
build to become a powerful pitcher. AL
ready he has command of fine speed, a
good curve ball and a neat movement to-
ward first. His control is not good, but
practice will remedy this in due time.
