JOHNSON ACCORDED
 POOR SUPPORT BY !. TEAM DURING 1913
Senators Played Mediocre Ball Behind Great Finger. Demaree Given Good
 Backing by Giants

It is matter of comment during the on and off seasons of baseball that certain teams bat harder and field bet ter behind certain pitchers than they do behind others and it would naturally be assumed that the major league hurler who emerges from a season with the greatest total of victories to his credit would be the man who had ob- tained the finest backing-both on the offense and the defense.
 Inspection of the records, therefore. should reveal the fact that Walter Johnson of the Nationals, the man whom the Chalmers jury of newspaper experts voted the player most valuable 10 his team. had great number Of runs procured for him by his associates. who ought also to be reasonably sup posed to have given him nearly air tight support so that he could have led the field.
 The Senators neither hit heavily nor delded very accurately when their star artillerist was laboring-at least they didn't in the 29 complete games he pitched, 2S of which were victories, and six of which were defeats.
 Senators Score S1 Runs
 In these games the Federalists ob- taaned S1 runs to their opponents 42; 224 hits to their opponents 179; 94 CT TOTS to their opponents 5S, and % double plays to their opponents 16
 Thirteen of Sir Walters wins (com- plete games pitched only considered were by one-run margin, two by a fwo-run margin, three by a three-run margin, one by a four-run margin, two by ffve-run margin and two by a six run margin. Sir Walter had no reason fo complain of the nerve displayed by his associates in raspng finishes, for they won five games in the ninth in ming and one overtime battle.
 Christy Mathewson, whom many fans would like to see oppose Johnson in the worlds series, was furnished with an average of four runs per game by the Giants, or 121 more than Johnson received from the Nationals. An odd thing about Big Six's' showing in the complete games he pitched was that the opposition made eight more hits than did the Giants, but A fewer runs.
 Vean Gregg got an average of 4.30 runs per game from the Maps last season; Al Demaree, an average of 5.09 from the Giants; Joe Wood. an aver age of $50 from the Red SoX; Eddie Plank, an average of 5.61 from the White Elephants, and Bert Humphries, an average of 6.46 from the Cubs.

ershlp Is not at all roseate On the Baron roster there is no one who ranks any where near Messenger in this department, and unless Moley secures a speed mer- chant before the opening of the 1914 season the chances of the Magic City furnishing another leader are very slim.
 Outside of Magee and Marcan, none of the Barons have shown any remarla ble iun-getting proclivities. Magee crossed the platter last year 100 times and Marcan I0, while the other Baronial candidates fell far behind these marks.

Three more days and then
 Emerging from it's dormant state of al most six months duration, baseball will make it's appearance in Birmingham Wednesday and lay claim to it's right ful position among local sports which is at present being usurped jointly by bas- ketball and wrestling. On this date the Baron batterymen will get down to work at Redwood and officially open the 1914 season, so far as the local club is con- cerned.
 When the chubby Baron chieftain calls the roll Wednesday morning Y catchers and hurlers are expected to answer pres ent. These are Tragresser, Wallace, Cliff ton and Wagner, catchers; Hardgrove Gregory, Grimes, Brown, Lively, Sloan. Fittery, Ponder, Harben, Johnson, Mur- phy, Nolan and Whitney, pitchers
 With the exception of Clifton, Hard grove and Gregory, none of the above con- tingent have seen active service with the Barons, and this means that the hurling and receiving corps for the 1914 campaign will contain many strange faces.
 Although nearly all of the rockies who will be given tryouts during the spring come with creditable records behind them and good. recommendations, Moley does not intend to take any chances on hav- ing them lay down on him and is busy fortifying himself for any emergency.

Angling for More Pitchers

Not content with the acquisition of Live ly and Grimes, Moley is angling for sev- eral new beavers and before many weeks have passed it is likely that he will se- cure several more dependable mounds men.
 At present Moley is banking mostly on Omar Hardgrove, Hank" Gregory, Cur ley Brown, Burleigh Grimes and Jack Lively, while he considers Harben and Johnson the dark horses. However, every one of the Baron rockies will be given a thorough and impartial trial and all of them have good chances of displacing vet erans and earning regular berths.
 Now that all hopes of securing Bob Mes- senger from the St. Louis Browns have gone -glimmering, the question is being as to who will step into his shoes during the coming season and set the pace in base stealing.
 For five consecutive years the Barons have furnished Judge kavanaugh's cir cult with the leading base pilferer Back in 1908 Henlne was the first to show clean pair of heels to the other speed art ists, and each season since then the Barons have managed to put forward a successwul candidate.
 However, this year the prospect of ma1n- this unbroken sequence of lead
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-01

Today is the last one of grace that is allowed dissatisfied players to come into the fold, and unless they take advantage of this, belligerent players throw them selves open to suspension. Under this rule Barons, Mcdonald, Mcbride, Ponder, Brown and Grimes are liable to suspen- sion should Molesworth desire to take such action. Ellam also has not signed his contract, but he has accepted the terms rendered him and will bring his contract when he reports
 Mcbride and Mcdonald seem to be the only ones contemplating holding out. to any extent Although Mcbride is winfer- ing in the city. he has refused to budge from his position. What McDonald's compliant is Moley does not know. The Baron leader has written to him several times but none of his letters have been answered and he is at a loss to know why Mcdonald does not come into the fold.
 Molesworth is placing much dependence in Omar H,rdgrove during the coming season and expects him to take -up the work where Bill Trough left off last year. On the other hand, the little right handler anticipates living up to these ex- pecttaions and hopes to have one of the best seasons of his career
 During the winter Hardy has been building himself up and as a result of hard work is no longer the frail little fellow he was last year. He has taken on nearly 30 pounds and is as hard as nail, according to a letter written Moley recently. Hardgrocve also states that he will be able to stand plenty of work during the coming campaign.
 When Hardy is going right there is no better pitcher in the league, but during the past two seasons he has been handi- capped on account of a frail physique. However this year he gained in strength and will be able to assume niace in the force ranks of Southern league beavers.
