By RICHARD F. LussrER

By RICHARD F. LUSSIER Omar Hardgrove will pitch this aft ernoon against the Cleveland Ameri- cans. The local exhibition series began last 1 Friday afternoon with the Chicago Cubs" Unfortunately the weather | wns very cold and the Barons fresh I from the baImy Florida cIimes, were unable to loosen up sufficiently to | land n game. However, the BarOns fought the "Cubs" to n standstiiI. l This afternoon another major league aggregation will be the attraction. The Cleveland Americans, which have been training in Louisiana are bringing their regulars to Birmingham are bringing their Barons win it will be notable victory. The Cleveland Americans arrive this morning at 6:20 o'clock and will regis | ter at the Tutwiler hotel. There will be 1 20 players in the party, which includes the manager and coaches Following are the names of the players: Joseph l.. Bir | mingham, manager Stephen ONeill, Arthur A Egan. Rex F. Devogt and John | William Steen, Alvah ,,owman, Guy Nor ton Fred N. Coumbe, James R. Walker Oscar T. Harstad, Samuel P. Jones and z. z. Hagerman. pitchers; Frank l..
 Shields, Roy w. Wood, William k. Rod gers, Ray Chapman, William Wambs- ganss Terrence l.. Turner, Walter Bar
 bare and Fred H. Thomas infielders; Joe Jackson, John G. Graney, Harry Leibod and Elmer J. Smith, out1ielders; Walter C. Hammond, utility infielder from Springfield. Mass; Lee Fohl, coach Charles Hitte. trainer.
 In the regular lineup which Manager Joe Birmingham will send against the | Barons will be seen two former stars of lthe Southern league-the famous Joe Jack
 son and last seasons phenom with the Pels-Walter Barbare.
 The fans in Birmingham are familiar with the work of Joe Jackson wn1re he was with the New Orleans club a few years ago. They also remember Walter Barbare last summer whose batting and
 baserunning materially aided the Pels in
 keeping a respectable standing in the league race
 Other than the familiar faces of Jack
 son and Barbare the regular lineup of
 the Cleveland team will show Terry Fur
 ner, one of the veterans of the game, and Ray Chapman, very fast lnfielder, and
 Steve o'Neil, a sterling young catcher
 Against the Clevelands, Manager Carle-
 ton Molesworth will send his regulars,
 although it is probable that Red" Stew
 art, the fleet outfielder. may break in one
 of the games. Stewart so far this season
 has not been used in any of the exnipi- tion games. but recently the youngster has shown a repentant frame of mind and
 a willingness to work hard, which may | cause Moley to relent and give the fiery headed outfielder chance Stewart is grand ball player when satisfied and in | shape.
 In the Cleveland series Molesworth will | also try out few of his young pitchers
 and the Barons fans will have look at
 John l.. Cantley, the local boy on the
 mound. So far this season Cantley has pitched great ball in every game and the Barons catchers all state that the Ensley youth has the makings of a good pitcher.
 And catcher is the best judge of a pitchers ability.
 | The game this afternoon will be called | at 8 o'clock. and if the weather is fair | the Baron management has made ar arrangements to handle large crowd. The Chicago games did not bring many of
 the fans, although the games were spirit
 edly fought as both teams were in mid season form. The Birmingham manage
 ment was rather disappointed at the ap- parent lack of interest in the Barons. | However, with warm weather the Baron fans are expected to turn out in goodly
 numbers to see the Cleveland and Pitts burg games this week.
 The line-ups for both teams this after | noon follows:
 Cleveland-G -Graney, If; Turner, 3b: Rod l gers, 2b; Chapman, ss; Jackson, of; Bar bare 1b; Smith, If; O'Neil, c; Blanding, p.
