Last fall the Chicago White Sox put in a draft for him and can- celed it after they thought 1t Twas too late for any other club to secure him. But, unknown to them, the Barons had draft in for him and Magee es- capped from being covered up for the fifth consecutive time. The new rule adopted at the demand of the frater- nity will put a stop to this kind of business and will in the future assure a player fair treatment.
 
 Wishing to have his team share in some of the profits and entertain- ments accrued by transforming teams in the past, Miller Huggins of the Cardinals is thinking seriously of talk ing his team to Cuba next spring for a short spree.

 Harmony now prevails on the Brown team where turmoil formerly reigned During. the regime of George StovaH the St. Louis team was kept in con tinuous state of unsest through his foolish trades and half the team was hardly on speaking terms with the other half. Now, however, the old order has changed and in it's place is perfect tranquility. Hickey, who supplanted Stovall as the Brown pilot, has the confidence and respect of his men, something that Stovall could not get, and there is now no sign of in- ternal dissension evident.

ThE elimination of the covering
 up" evil that has been prae-
 x tieed so long and so frequent lv by major league clubs, Is one of the main aims of the Players ifa- ternity in it's fight to afford better protection to the players against club mognls. For years the practice or major league clubs covering up play CTS for the benefit of minor league clubs with whom they had alliances was allowed to go on unchecked un- til recently, when the fraternity de- manded the adoption of some rule that would lessen this injustice suffered by the players. The rule was adopted and the status of the player will in the future be more respected by club owners.
 On the Baron training squad this year Is one of the victims of this covering up process. who for four years was denied a trial in higher company through this system. The player in question is Jimmy Magee, the stellar outfielder secured by the Barons from Lowell in the New Eng land circuit. For four seasons Ma gee was covered up by several ma jor league clubs for the benefit of the Lowell club and was prevented from getting a trial during this time either in the majors CT Class AA and X company. In 1908 he was covered up and so disgusted did ne become that during the following year he stayed in Panama rather than return home and play ball. In 1910 he re-entered baseball with Lowell and since then he has remained with that club. Each season he has been drafted only to have 1t cancelled after it was too late for some other club to secure him.
 In the spring of 1912 he was carried

 After nearly six months of undisturbed solitude Redwood field will be revived from it's dormant condition this afternoon and made to resound with the noise of conflict, for at 3 o'clock Manager Moles- worth will lead his henchmen against the fast amateur nine of Clay Ala. for their first Nest of the year. While the game this afternoon is only a preliminary exhibition affair and was arranged pri- nlarily for the purpose of allowing Moley a chance to size up his men under fire, it will be none the less interesting and will also afford local fans a chance to see this years squad in action over a week earlier than was first intended.
 The Baron leader will use Murphy, Q young amateur southpaw from Gathers burg, Md, and Nolan, a sefili-professional from Gotham, ou the firing line this aft ernoon. This duo were among the first to put in their appearance and are in better shape than any of the other mound a.pirants. Murphy has good control for Ieft-hander. besides possessing a choice assortment of foolers and should be able to hold the ambitious youngsters from Clay well in hand.
 Tentative Line-Up
 Behind <he bat the Baron leader will very likely station Tragresser and Wal lace. tentative line-up is as follows:
 Mills, first base; Clarke, second base. Bell, third base; Ellam, shortstop; Knise- ly, right field; Magee and Herndon, cen ter field, and McBride. left field.
 Moley is we'll provided with pitchers and catchers but is shy of infielders, having just enough to go around. The scarcity of infielders is due to the factkthat all of the players yet to report, four in num- Der, are infielders.
 After a brief stab at soccer football Moley and his colleague resumed work with the lorsehide yesterday morning and while Old Sol surveyed the situation approvingly had two good workouts. one in the morning and the other in the aft ernoon.
 Although the weather was still some what chilly the players went to work with zest, and it was all Molesworth could do to make them hold up.
 During the morning there was pro- Ionged batting ssion with Harben, John son, Gregory and Hardgrove dishing out the balls. After a short infield and out field workout Moley sent his hopefuls on . trek around the park. and in this Pete

MUCH INTEREST IN
 ROLLER-LEW|S BOUT
Opinion as to Outcome Even- ly Divided-Lewis Is De-
 termined to Win

Interest in the Roller-Le match con tinues to grow greater by leaps and bounds, and it is expected by Monday the local mat followers will be worked up to a high pitch over the prospects of wit messing a finish bout between these two foremost wrestlers. As to the outcome opinion seems to be about evenly di- vided.
 The Kentucky grapler has youth in his favor and that backed up with his gameness makes him a mighty dangerous mat man. Lewis is going into this battle with Roller determined to win at any cost, for to meet defeat at this stage of his career will mean a severe setback. Roller, on the other hand. is also facing crisis, for n defeat by Lewis, younger man in the game, would put tho physician wrestler out of the championship class forever

Knisely took the leading role, crclng the park more times and at a faster gait than any of the others were capable of doing.
 knisely in Fine Shape
 The big Teuton has rounded into mid season form and is right now ready to start in on regular work. He is also hitting the ball in great fashion. The other hard hitters that have attracted attention are Magee aud Wallace. These two caress the ball with a healthy swing and it flies from the bat with the speed of a shot
 If Tragesser continues to whip the bad down to second during the coming months like he is doing in practice he will prove far superior to any other catcher in the league in holding down thefts. Tragres- ser gets the ball down to the keystone bag almost on a line and it wastes no time in getting there. He is also no weak ling with the willow and from present indications Walter Mayer will not be missed in the least this ses son.
 The game this afternoon will start promptly at o'clock. with Burke, an old Southern league umpire, officiating.

SAVING IN CRIMINAL COST.

The question is asked: "Is there evidence to prove that the cost of prosecuting crime is decreased under temperance?" Temperance states and towns furnish an abundance of evi- dence. For example,
 Lawrence county. Pa, has made an interesting discovery along this line Figures compiled from city and county records show that the amount paid to jurors in attendance upon criminal cases during the license period of 1908. 1909, 1910 and the March session of 1911 averaged $1,558 for each of the thirteen sessions, and that the aver age amount paid jurors during the ten sessions under no-license for which figures are available is only $9S04S. an average saving in jury fees alone of $57752 per session, or $2,310.O8 per year. This amount exceeds by $7655 the greatest amount received from licenses any one year during the pc riod from 1905 to 1910 inclusive.

SALOON IS MEANEST THING.
Christian Temperance Union.)

QTrom an Address by the REV FATHER
 PATRICK J. MURPHY0
 Is the saloon business, as we have it in America today, an evil thing, and thing that cannot be changed into beneficial thing? Is there not such thing as a good saloon? Are we not condemning it because of it's associations? You might as well talk about decent rattlesnake or a respectable hell. We certainly con demn saloons because of their asso- citations; but we are not unmindful of the fact that the meanest thing about saloon Is the saloon itself. Do you know what saloon is? A saloon Is a licensed, bonded and protected re sort for men, where, by the use of an 1rritant poison known as alcohol, mod crate drinkers are first produced, and then some of these moderate drinkers are converted into drunkards. There is not a saloon in the United States today that has not purposely and knowingly produced some drunkards. One hundred thousand drunkards a year may not be an overestimate of the finished product of an industry, In which you and I are engaged, as CO., operators, by granting licenses under the seal of the various states. A saloon Is an institution for making .drunkards. Drunkenness does not make man respectable today. It does not recommend him for respon- sible position. It does not entitle him to the confidence of his friends. The railroad company does not want a drunkard in the train or on the To- comotive. The steamship company does not want him on the bridge The commercial. house or banking institu- tion does not want him handling its funds. The merchant does not want him behind the counter The manu- facturer does not want him beside the machine. We do not call in a drunken physician if we care much for the patient We do not hire a drunken lawyer if we want to gain a suit. We do not want drunken teach CTS in our schools. We do not want drunken judges on the bench You can go right ahead and elaborate on that just as much as you like. One of the strongest arguments along that line against the saloon may be summed up in these words: The saloon makes drunkards the supply of drunkards at the present time Is be yond the demand; let us close down the works until advancing civilization finds some use for the product And in the meantime let us take good care of the drunkards we have, for we helped to make them"
