In a warmly contested game the in

the intermediate quintet of the Young

half had things all their own way, the
score being 10 to 8.
In the second half several substi-

CRIMSON BASEBALL
PRACTICE HAS BEGUN
Over Fifty Candidates Have
Already Come Out for
the Team

University February 21.--(Special)
Friday and Saturday saw the univer-
sity diamond covered with numerous
candidates for the Crimson White nine
and gave assurance that as usual Ala
bama will have to be reckoned with
for the S. I. A. A. championship.
Taking advantage of the first warm
spell, Coach Graves issued the call and
already over so have responded. 1t Is
expected that 20 will appear during the
coming week, which will be the largest
number of men to tryout- for any pre-
vious Alabama team.
For the past week the battery can
didates have been taking short work
outs daily, and this will enable the
batting practice to begin at once.
A brief review of the old men viii
show that prospects are very good
Wells will be behind the bat for his
third consecutive year. Melford Pratt
pitched in the Empire league last sea
son and is not eligible, although still
in school
vandeGraaff and Stephenson. both
regular pitchers for two years, will
return to the mound
Joplin at short. Ladd and Cargyle al
third are sure and steady men. Firsi
and second are vacant this year. but
a wealth OF new material trying fol
these positions should afford severa
good men.
Nathan. Hagan and l.. Pratt of last
years squad are lighting with the nen
candidates for the outfield. 1t Is hert
that the service of "Mickyn Mcdowell
is missed.
Many of the new men are highls
"touted" but it will take few more
days of sunshine before any lines car
be drawn.

ACQUISITION OF GRIMES AND
LIVELY STRENGTHENS BARON
MOUND CORPS CONSIDERABLE y
Flingng Staff of Barons Now Well Baanced-Gregory ant
Grimes Expected to Render Good Service This Season
Eleven Heavers Aspire for Berths Local Team
Johnson Is Strikeout King of Recruits
by ASA RoUNTREE, JR.

Balanced with three dependable fingers.
Omar Hardgrove, Curley Brown and Jack
Lively--the Baronial hurling staff has now
emerged from the pale of uncertainty and
taken on a very promising appearance
True to his promise, the chubby Baron
eheftain is keeping on the alert for any
promising heaving talent and during the
past two weeks he has secured two ad-
ditional pitchers, Burleigh Grimes and
Lively, for his depleted mound corps
The corraling of these two swells the
number of moundsmen who will report on
March for spring training to Il.
Although Hardgrove, Brown and Lively
have each seen considerable service in the
national pastime, neither is veteran,
and all are still good for years Of relia-
BILE service. For two seasons Hardgrove
has been steady and earnest worker,
>and Manager Molesworth is banking much
on him during the coming season. Brown,
who played last season with the Billikens,
is also another OF whom much is ex-
pected. He is still youngster and has
the best of his career before him.
Moley is not placing much reliance on
Lively and signed him mainly to help out
with the youngsters during the spring.
However, 1t may be that the former Bill
ken will round into old-time shape.
Should this prove the case, the Baron
leader will probably assign him a regu-
lar berth. Lively played in 1918 with the
Sacramento club in the Pacific coast
league and at the conclusion of the sea-
son was given his unconditional release.
While with Sacramento he won II games
and lost 13.
Gregory and Grimes Good
two other young huf1ers who are of much
promise and have also had some exper-
ience in the Southern These two are
Hank" Gregory and Burleigh Grimes,
the young right-hander acquired from
the Lookouts via the waiver route.
Gregory Joined the Barons in 1918, after
the season was we'll under way and it was
not until near the fag end that he struck
his real stride and then he went like a
house afire, giving ample proof of his
ability to deliver the goods in large size
packages Moley is expecting much of
him this year. Grimes also did not fare
we'll with the Lookouts in 1913 but he
demonstrated that he had the essential
qualities for good pitcher and Moley
expects him to deliver this spring.
Another duo to whom Moley is partial
is Harden and Johnson. Both are pow
erful beavers, possessing a good variety

except that I'm glad that Mr.. Taft has

Denies Previous Offer
Murphy denied that an offer to buy hin
cut was made at the last meeting of the
National league. He said his retirement
might have been discussed at the time
Negotiations for the purchase of his in

DR.. James Il. Dedman is looking up
the law regarding to eligibility of a ply

Although DIR. Roller spends the greater
part of his time following the wrestling
game he is still a practicing physician,
being registered in four states-Illnois,
Oregon. Washington and Pennsylvania
through medical examinations.
Weather Conditions Please Him
The ideal weather that Birmingham is
having this winter has made a deep i'm
preston on the famous doctor-athlete, and
St is not unlikely that he will decide to
come here to live.
"Why l left Chicago buried in snow"

Unable to Obtain Theatre
The match next Friday night between
DR. Roller, Bob Allen and stranger
Lewis, in which the former agrees to
throw the other two in 60 minutes of
actual wrestling, will be held at the Ath-
1etic club, instead of one of the local
theatres. 1t was intended by club officials
TO stage this bout at the jefferson, but
they were unable to secure the theatre on
next Friday and SO will have to pull off
the match in the club gymnasium.
As an added attraction, Gus Kervaras
and Gus Costello will wrestle each other,
the toe hold being barred. This match
will precede the main one and takes the
place of the preiminaries.
Costello claims that without the toe
hold the Greek cannot defeat him, How
ever Kervaras thinks otherwise and has
consented TO prove it.

Suggs, for several years a member OF the

st. Louis Cardinals recently, conferred
with the Federal league management to-
day.
Afterwards it was reported that Suggs
had signed with the Baltiinores, but
neither the player nor club officials would
confirm the report and all preserved the
greatest reticence regarding the matter.
