 The Barons had only one workout yes terday but this was an unusually long one. Moley set his men to grinding about 10 o'clock and after half an hour of bat ting practice the game between the van nigans and regulars was staged.
 Another combat between the youngsters and old heads will take place this morn ing, beginning at U o'clock.
 Eddie Mcdonald will be the regular lead off man for the Barons during the coming season. This was definitely an- nounced yesterday by Manager Moles- worth. The batting order used in the games with the Cleveland American sociation team will not be altered during the coming season.
 Moley thinks that Mcdonald will have more success in getting to first than Mar can, so he has boosted the thirdsacker to the top of the list, dropping Marcan to second place. Magee will bat third, while Pete Knisely will be in the cleanup position. Mcbride will rest in fifth place, Covington In sixth the catchers in sev- enth, Roy Ellam in eighth and the pitch CTS will foot the list.
 And now comes news from New Orleans tildl DiS, HtdNy nlltlnB JaWn 1OcilTdn will not be seen in the Pelican lineup when the 1914 season opens, and that he is tagged flor some other league of lower classification than the one presided over by Judge Kavanaugh. This announce ment means that Johnny Dobbs has also fallen down in the task of correcting the faults of the hard hitting youngster and also that one Carleton Molesworth did not commit such a grieyous blunder when he rplPa Spd 'fJawp' la st yxi strings attached to him.
 When Cochran reported to Johnny Dobbs several weeks back it was claimed that the Pelican leader would correct all of his faults and develop bim into one of the best youngsters in the Southern. It was also averred that Carleton Moles- worth of the Barons had committed an irreparable blunder by letting this young ster slip through his fingers. But Moley quietly abided his time, and it is now he who is chuckling over the egotisk of New Orleans fans. Dobbs has labored with Cochran in vain, as did Moley for two years. and 1t Is now reported that once again will Cochran be shunted from the Southern, tagged, as before, as failure.
 Ray Boyd, the local baseball idol and star of the 1912 Baron fiinging staff is now suffering all of the poys and agonies of down and out hurler. After falling to make any impression with Manager Bill Schwartz of the Vols during the past few weeks, Boyd has signed up with the Lookouts and ardently hopes to regain his old form of two years ago.
 Boyd was and is still popular in Bir- mingham and local fans are anxiously watching his game fight to earn a berth in the Southern, and earnestly hoping that he will be successful.
 An injured arm caused his downfall. Early last year Boyd was rendered in capable for work by a very sore salary wing. The wing got no better after sew eral weeks of careful work, so a popular subscription was raised by local fans and he was sent to visit Bonesetter Reese. Although the arm got better, Boyd never regained his old form, and he was reluctantly released by Moley. After a long rest he signed up with Talladega in the Georgia-Alabama league and played in that season throughout the remainder of the 1913 season. when he was given an unconditional release as was stipulated in the contract he signed. During the past winter he signed up with Bill Schwartz but later was released Ray has now signed up with the Look outs and local fans are pulling for him to stick this time.
