M0ley Received Telegram Yesterday Saying He Had
 Changed His Mind
TRAGRESSER AND
 ID. CLARK REPORT
Ten Baron Candidates Are Now on - Hand-Pete knisely Has Been , Leading Rockies Merry Chase.
 Two Sessions Today
By ASA ROUNTREE, JR.

Reeonsidering his decision to desert or eanized ball and join the new outlaw league, Burleigh Grimes, the young right handler secured recently from the Chat fanooga club, yesterday wired Manager Molesworth of the Barons that he would leave Chicago last night for Birmng- ham. From this it is gleaned that Grimes has resisted the temptation to cast his fortunes with the newcomers and that he intends to perform in a Baron uni form this season.
 Grimes change of heart came as a complete surprise to local baseball of ficials as no effort had been made to persuade him against jumping. and none were going to be.
 Just why the former Lookout sud- denly became belligerent and wrote to the Baron club belittling the salary rendered him is a mystery to Manager Molesworth, as early in February Grimes wrote expressing his satisfaction over the terms made-to him and stating that he was eagerly looking forward to the opening of the season.
 What caused Grimes to change his mind is also unknown to Moley, but it is prob- able that the young pitcher saw the fool hardness of deserting and thought it best to remain within the pale of or ganized ball.
 MOleswOrth Mum
 With Grimes safe the baseball pros pectus, although still somewhat dismal, has cleared a bit and sunshine seems about ready to burst through the over hanging clouds, especially as Molesworth returned to the city yesterday, mum as clam in regards to what he had accomplished while on his sojourn in Florida
 The chubby Baron leader ambled into the city yesterday about noontime, look ing as brown as berry. Old Sol seemed to have taken a liking to his face, as 1t was tanned a deep brown.
 Molesworth stated that he would as- sume charge of training activities this morning and would commence to put the rockies through some stiff workouts. Starting today. two practice sessions will

 knisely has proven ha-d taskmaster while he has been in charge of the Baron squad and during tnis time he has made the young amateurs realize fully that professional baseball, especial ly in the spring, is no picnic.

 Two Reported
 Two more Baron recruits strolled into the baseball headquarters yesterday and stated they were ready 10 start work. They were Infielder Danny Clarke and Catcher Tragresser.
 Clarke played last season with Gads- den in the Georgia-Alaba bama league and Meridian in the Cotton States circuit While in the Georgia Alabama league he batted 1908 and led the keystone guard fans with an average of 991. With the Meridian club he did not do so we'll bat ting .219 and fielding .s7l.
 Tragresser is the receiver purchased from the Boston Nationals to fill the shoes of Walter Mayer, who went to the White Sox last fall through an optional agreement.
 The advent of these two candidates swells the number of Barons who have reported to 10. These are Pete Knisely and Clyde Mcbride of lass years team; Walter Nolan, young semi-professional pitcher from New Yors; Johnson, a pitcher from the Madison club in the Wisconsin Illinois league; Sloan, pitcher recalled from Evansville m the Central league; Scokel. an amateur pitcher and infielder from Cleveland Ellis. a semi professional from Los Angeies; Wagner an amateur catcher from Chicago, and Tragi esser and Clarke.

EVENING Slippers

New slippers for the evening show
strong tendency to increase the
length and slenderness OF the loot
with long plain vamps running up into
tongue without the familiar buckle.
Another popular style, however is the
slipper which fastens at the side OF
the instep with button or small
clasp, while the dancing slippers are
made with rather low heels and a
rounded toe and with the most aex-
ible of soles. These have the eyelets
for ribbons and are much worn by
the. dance enthusiasts, but are suit
able only for the ball room.
fIigh-hceled slippers OF bronze
with. pointed toes and dull bronze,
or in some cases gilt. or green buckles,
are shown in some exclusive shops,
while beaded slippers with many in-
tricate straps are also among the
popular styles of the moment.
Heelless sandals for dancing are
still shown but are less in favor than
the shoes with heels. while satin and
suede pumps are worn IN the house
by the more conservative women.
Patent leather oxfords with TRIM
mirgs of gray or tan suede are shown
for the afternoon dance and tea,
while. some patent slippers boast gay
scarlet heels.
The vogue for white. costumes has
brought Slippers of white satin or
buckskin to the fore, and some of the
smartest of the latter have black heels
and Jet buckles, "a combination that is
most attractive and up-to-the-minute.

WESLEYAN
And Redskins win Do Battle
at Union Park Sep
tember 26.

The coming of, one of the really
big football teams OF the United
States to- Clarksburg on September
IS when the Carlisle Indians journey
down to meet Wesleyan College has
already started a great deal Of spec
ulation in Clarksburg. Carlisle is
the first of the big teams of the East
to come to West Virginia. The
Indian team is rated along with Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Pennsy
etc, and more frequently beats
these teams than being beaten by
them Wesleyan. of course, is a
great favorite in Clarksburg and the
fact that Manager Murphy. of the
EWashing team has SO
much respect for Wesleyan as TO give
tout an interview to the effect that
WESLEYAN would be victorious in its
game with Carlisle has caused con-
| siderab BILE comment here.
Last year Wesleyan played Car
/ Isle on the same relative date and IN
/ the first half the score was go in "a
Eyor of Carlisle, but in the second half
wesleyan weakened and was beaten
i25-O in the wind up. This. however
was as good a showing as Dartmouth
made, the score in that game being
teams that Carlisle beat as bad as
wesleyan were Georgetown $3.50.
Johns Hopkins 6 TO. Syracuse 35-l1
and Lehigh 27-7. The fact that
Carlisle beat Cornell. Brown and and
other of the strongest teams In the
East andswere not SO much as tied by
any team in the East except Pennsyi-
wanna University, shows the calibre
of the Redskins at football.
