capped Harbin, who will be dis posed of will not be missed. for he has not been worked with any regu- larity and has never been used as a regular. The Texan is willing and promising. but does not possess. the puzzling delivery and the needed smoke
 With four outfielders, Birmingham las a superfluity Charle Carroll. who is starring at third base ,can play the outfield as capably as the "perilous corner" Mcbride. Stewart and KniseIy compose a dangerous trio en every respect While it Is true that some of the gardeners may not display the same amount of speed and dash as they do with another eager to enter the battle, the loss will not prove disastrous.
 In one respect. the loss of aagee will be felt. When southpaws twirl the aBrons will not present as for midable an array of pitchers. But Car roll could be switched to center and offset this loss of hitting strength. Molesworth realizes that he is taking a chance, but he feels that it is worth ven.uring. Should Roth fail, aro ther pitcher may be purchased for a good outlay of cash.
 Just what will be done with the players to be disposed of has not been announced. While little trouble is anticipated in securing Waivers on HarbiE, Magee may be claimed by some other Southern league club. Johnny Dobbs of New Orleans Is desirous of landing a right-handed outfielder, while Bobby Gilks could use the outfielder handily. But wheth- CT they will claim Magee Is a nat ter of speculation. Although Magee is hitting only a few points over 200 it is believed that he would hit much more were he played regularly. In the New England league he proved a consistent 300 hitter and the New England league is one of the fastest Class B organizations. He is a smart base runner and a fast fielder. And. too, Jimmy Is a fine fellow personally.

DAVE ROTH TO BE SIGNED
 BEFORE BARONS DEPART
Big Twirer Shows Smoke and Curves Mound Seems Though Harbn and Magee Will Go-May Mean
 Pennant to Birmingham
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

TNTRENCHED with big Dave
 E Roth, the Barons will depart
 A tonight for Memphis. The huge spitball artist twirled yesterday in 7 batting practice and showed a lot of smoke and curves. His performance undoubtedly cinched him a trial with the Barons, for Manager Molesworths s only desire was that he show the proper stuff" His ability to pitch and field have been tested by three years in the International league
 While there is still possibility that a slip may occur, it seems cer- tain that Roth will be signed today. Comisky. owner of the Chicago White Sox, has been written to by Presi dent Baugh concerning necessary ar arrangements and a favorable reply is expected If Roth if signed the White Sox will retain an option to recall him for the sale price.
 Should Roth continue to show im- provement the Barons will give the other clubs a heeted fight for the pennant. The big fellow is built along iron man style and if he should strike his stride he could twirl ev. cry third day. With Curley Brown, Dick Robertson, Arthur Johnson and Omar Hardgrove pitching in their normal form the Barons will have one of the niftiest corps in the league.
 While Hardgrove has had difficulty in pitching winning ball during the last month, the crafty twirler is ex- pected to deliver the goods from now on. His head alone should en- able to trim some of the clubs When Hardy" Is right he possesses diverse assortment of puzzlers and has pretty hop on his fast one.
 On the other hand. should Roth fail after being signed, the aBr- ons will not be materially handi-
