YANNIGANS ARE FORCED
 TO BOW TO THE REGUL LARS:
 MOLEY BANKING ON BROWN

Unable to gain much headway against the regulars and held well in check by Brown and Noble the yanngans were forced yesterday afternoon to lower their | eolors before the onslaught of the vet erans the score being to 3.
 Despite strenuous work on the part of little Omar Hardgrove, who occupied the mound for five innings. the yannlgans were unable to overcome commanding lead acquired by their opponents during the first three innings although they made several gallant attempts Falling upon Hardgrove's benders in the first, second and third innings the regu- lars quickly forged to the fore and were never headed. Two runs were made in each of these innings, the last one being scored in the sixth.
 Hardgrove was taking things easy and this accounts for the free hitting of the regulars.
 Called to the majors his first year out, Curey Brown, the little southpaw who was purchased during the fall from the St. Louis Americans, looms up promi- nently as the successor of Bill Trough for malnstay honors on the mound.
 Making his debut in professional com pany during the 1911 season with the Bur lington club of the Central association, a class D organization, Brown was treat ed royalty by old Dame Fortune and by remarkable work with his southpaw wing attracted the attention of St Louis scouts who promptly recommended him to Presi-
 Ft was entered for him by the Browns and within one year of his entrance into or ganized ball he was travelling in select company.
 With Burlington he performed in s4 games. being sent to the mound often as his club was making a desperate fight for the pennant or these, Curley won l6. lost seven, tied one, average of ,697 for the season. He also scored F runs. fielded .9so and batted .g77. During the 1912 spring training, Brown made good impression with Manager George Stoval of the St Louis club, and showed that he had the making of a major league player in him. Stovall kept 1 him throughout the season, working him in 16 combats.
 lnexperience told on him. however. and the St. Louis management deemed 1t best to send him back to the minors for an- other year of training. The Montgomery club put in bid for his services and Brown was turned over to the BilliSens.
 With the Bills. Brown started off In a whrlwind manner and by the middle of the season was hugging close to the top of the percentage column. In the final half, Johnny Dobbs became hard pressed for moundsmen and was forced to sent

MEDICAL COLLEGE
 LOSES ID ENSLEY Initial Game of Season Cap tured by Ensley High
 School Nine,

In a very fast ard well played game, defeated the Birmingham Medical col llege teau, yesterday afternoon in the initial contest of Inc season by a score of to 2. The gafne yesterday was wit messed by a large crowd.
 The Epsley boys outplayed their op- ponents in every department and but for several errors they would prob ably have walked off with a shutout victory.
 The feature of the game was the pitching of Freeman and McGarry, a three base hit by Cook, the sensation al playing of Mandy at third, and a splendid catch by Second Baseman Brown of the Ensley team in the ninth inning.
 McLendon, shortstop, and Carraway. catcher of the Medical college also played fine game.
 The line-up was as follows:
 Ensley-Cook, catcher; Phillips, first base; Brown second base: Ponder, shortstop; Mandy, third base; McWa- ters, right field McNamara, center field Crane left field; Freeman, Me- Garry, pitchers.
 Medical College--Carraway, catcher; Ryan. first base; Peck, second base; McLendor. shortstop; Denson, third base; Brown, righ. field; Sherrell. cen- ter field Grayson, left field; Webb, pitcher.
 Holt and Blaylark, umpires.

 fielded well and also made his pres ence felt at the bat, skipping out several sizzling bingles off the de- liveries of Omar Hardgrove and Paul Fittery. Moley is fayorably impressed with him as are the Bar on regulars and all are of the opin- ion that he will prove a tower of strength to the team.
 Unable to remain inactive any long, CT. Charley Carroll, the popular young Baron utility player who has been suffering with an injured foot, donned a uniform yesterday and had his first workout of the spring. Carroll had to take things easy for fear of hurt ing his foot again, and was unable to take part in the fracas between the regulars and yannigans.
 Another Baron regular who had his first workout of the year was Me Donald. The third baseman was out at the park during part of the after noon. but did not take part in any of the activities, being content with toss ing the ball about and limbering up around the field.
 Counting Covington, this makes three Barons who had their initial workout yesterday.
 
 Seemly bent on impeding work at Redwood, both Jupiter Pluvius and Old Man Winter appear to have con- spired against the Barons and are hin- dering the Molesworth men from en- tering upon the final lap of spring training in earnest. During the past two weeks the Barons have been thrown back considerably and now many of the players are suffering from sore muscles. The soreness, however, is only temporary, and all that is needed to make it disappear is for old Sol to get back on the job and give Birmingham a full share of his attention.
 Losing none of their crabbiness and sullenness through the departure of Johnny Evers from their ranks, the Cubs have wandered back to their old way of umpire batting and if their conduct in the spring series with the Athletics can be accepted IS a criterion then President Tener will have a busy time this year aiding his umpires in surpressing the Cubs. The disposi- ton manifested by the Cubs during the spring has caused amazement. The players cared not how they talk to the umpires and in one game several swore SO lOuQ lIldl d Dl QiSSSul Wtlt up from the spectators.
 Declaring that he had not doubled crossed Mordecai Brown and that he believed turn about was fair play Lee Magee, the Cardinal outfielder who was badly wanted by the Federals and was raked over the coals by Mordecai Brown when he refused to jump, has taken issue with the St. Louis Federal leader and states that Brown, and not he, is in the wrong.
 "Mr. Britton treated me fairly" as serted Magee, and I played right with him in return. As to rotting in organized ball, well that suits me. am willing to play my entire career with the Cardinals if they want me, and don't think that I will have to wait on the Federal league to keep me in baseball"

Y A N N IG A N s WILL MEET THE REGULARS THIS A F T ERN DON

LN NTERING upon the final lap
 the Baron training season is - rapidly bringing out the de- fleets of the aspiring recruits and within another week majority of them will know their fate. Some have already been disposed of by Manager Molesworth, but the great CT part of the youngsters remain. Only IS days are left before the gong rings and the real battle for places has begun. During the com ing few days Moley will weed out those who have. failed to display anything lige class A ability and, then stripped of all hindrances, the Baronial training squad will earnestly get down to work in prep aration for the opening of the sea- son.
 The infield. with Covington at the first stop, Marcan at the keystone, Ellam in the short field and Me Donald at the hot corner, and the outfield composed of Pete Knisely, Clyde Mcbride and Jimmy Magee, seems settled upon. It is in the pitching and catching departments where the battle will rage warm est.
 Hardgrowe, Brown and Gregory appear to be certainties, while the other two places lie between Rob- erston, Johnson and Grimes, with Harben as the dark horse.
 Johnson is going like house afire, while Grimes is being han dicapped by a sore wing, and un- less the latter rapidly rounds back to form his chances of sticking seem meager. Robertson in his initial workout Tuesday against the St. Louis Browns demonstrated that he was ripe for Southern league so- ciety and 1t appears as if he has berth cinched also.
 
 Handicapped by a. sore wing for the greater part of the time he was with the Barons, Frank Greg ory was unable to give a full ex- hibition of his wares last season, but this spring he has rounded into fair condition and expects to make a good showing this year. Moley is also of the same opinion and is expecting much of him.
 Little Omar Hardgrove Is also on hand with a full assortment of foolers and is determined to show the Southern league sluggers a lit- tie something in the pitching line. Hardy is in better physical condi- tion this year than last, having gained in weight during the winter, and this should prove a big help to him.
 With three cracking good catchers to pick from, Moley is likely to experience some trouble in selecting a band of two to work behind the bat for the Barons during 1914. Of the five catchers who were candi- dates for berths during the earlier part of the spring only Tragesser, Wallace and Dilger remain. Ira gesser already has the mainstay position stored away and the fight now on Is between Wallace and Dilger. Wallace looks exceptionally good and will give Dilger a run for his money.
