the time comes to cut down the squad.
If the plan works out as well as we ex-
poet it to, we may make it permanent
arrangement"
The only drawback to training away
from home. according to Mr., Baugh, is
that the fans will not have the oppor-
tunity hitherto enjoyed of seeing the Bar
ons in practice; and many of the faith
full yearly gather about the field dur
ing the early practice season to get a
line on the team before the season opens.
Then. too, the exhibition season neces-
sarily must be shortened. However, ar
engagements are being made for the local
fans to keep in touch with the doings
in the Baron training camp and every
effort will be made to help them learn
the merits of the new. men through pub
LEGATION. And when the team does make
its first appearance in Birmingham it
promises to be a much smoother machine
than hitherto has been shown in the early
practice games. ~ E
President Baugh is enthusiastic over
the chances of the Barons this season.
But few of the 1914 champions will be
lost and Moley already has deals well
under way to fill up these gaps. Just
what these deals are the president of
the local club is not yet ready to make
known, but news is promised for local
fans in the near future. Meanwhile Mr..
Baugh's advice is to sit steady in the

he is silent land he promises develop

Walter Locke, representing the At

therefore the gold medal offered by the
club. Vivian Jones, we'll known Bir-

The Acipco Y. NJ. C. A. sprinters were
the winning team and received the
silver cup. This cup was won by the
Birmingham Y. NJ. c. A. last year. After
it has been won three times it will
become the property of the team doing

While their Southern league rivals are
Drawing the chill of the February winds
and practicing as best they may under
adverse conditions, the bold Barons will
cavort about beneath the sunny skies of
Florida for spring training this season.
Orlando, Fla, is the sight chosen for the
preliminary work of Moley'S' wards this
spring and there the husky champions
will HE early in February to work out
the winter-formed kinks and otherwise
get into condition for the 1915 campaign.
In deciding to hold training under bet
ter conditions than are afforded at home,
the Birmingham management has set n
precedent in the Southern league. Just
what effect the plan will nave on other
Southern league teams in the future is a
matter of speculation, but it is safe to
predict that the Barons will enter the
coming season at decided advantage
over their rivals so far as Preparedness
is concerned, and that the rough work
which marred their play early last spring
will be missing.
President Baugh is enthusiastic over the
plan.
I'VE expect the warm climate of Flor
ida to aid materially in getting the boys
in form by the time the season opens"
he declared yesterday. Then, too, being
in a small city and off to themselves they
will have more time to give to condi-
fioning themselves and should show more
truly just what they are. This, of course,
will help Wordsworth considerably when
