FACTS AND FANCIES
 FRESH FROM THE BARON CAMP

1 pers by Molesworth the Baronial lead
 CT was pleasantly surprised q little
 later when the boys approached him and said:
 MT. Molesworth, We appreciate very
 much your efforts in attempting to
 teach us baseball We appreciate that you have been patient and have Sivon US every chance possible to make gooo and we are glad that you held onto us ss long as you did. We just want you
 to know that We aint a bit sore and
 that in a season or two when we know
 how to play Class A baseball that We
 can work for you.
 Moesworth was so surprised he nearly fell over, hut he recovered and assured
 the youngsters that he would keep an eye
 on them, and If he saw q chance he would bring them back into the Baronial fold.
 That's a nice. clean bunch of young fellows" said Molesworth, and l am
 mighty sorry to let them go. And it Is tho first time l have ever been thanked hy players I have released" Danny Clark is improving in his field ing and Hitting. and now looks rather good at the second station. NIolesworth lately has been trying out Coomos in the outlield and the younsster while still re- taining his awllNardness is doing some sterling deeds with the willow. It Is not certain in whae position Coombs will play, but it is quite certain that he will play as his bludgcon is needed. Coombs in
 the exhibition games thus far has bat ting average of about 300.
 James Magce has recovered sufficiently from his sprained back to be able to ca yort in center field. and Jim is some ca vorter. Incidentally Jimmie has recov-
 cred his batting eye, and the wiseacres are predicting that Magee will be reg ular Baron this season without serious opposition.

The Pole As a Possession
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
 As the north pole cannot fairly be classed as place in the sum no inter national trouble is likely to come of the reported intention of the United States to .annex it." A few score of penguins. a polar bear or two. a deal of ice and some first rate blzzards will have an owner for the first time; but even the United States cannot be expected to make much of her new possessions in the meantime. Given better communications. however, it should provide a rich field of inspirations for the American company promoter. Conceive. for instance, the fascination of a stroll in the courtyard of the Pole ho- tel in which the termination of the de- grees of longitude would, of course, be carefully marked so that one could move and by walking briskly around an east ward circle save some hundreds of days in an hour Sentiment would demand that the pole itself be tangibly repre- sented, with a suitable inscription on it to Commander Peary and (more doubt fully) to Captain Cook; and popular aft ernoon excursions might well be organ ized to the magnetic pole, a little distance away, to watch the compass stand on it's head. Certainly, the exploiting of this unique possession could not De Tn better hands. All nations will envy the courage, ingenuity and endurance that gave the Stars and Stripes the right to fly furthest north. but none will grudge the success least of all Britain, whose sailors and men of science have found and named 100 places in the eternal ice, and whose record Is not the less glorious that 1t does not carry with it the blue ribbon of arctic exploration.

 Mrs. Dave Roth Is now the most popular member of the Baronial party. One reason is--she can play the piano and sing.
 A few evenings ago Mrs Roth strolled in the deserted hotel parler and started on her repertoire Of songs. In a few minutes all the Barons were hanging around and then in a .'ing- ing soprano voice Mrs. Roth started When You're Long, Long Way from Home" and then the boys started away. They were lonesome and Mrs. Roth sang the song with so much emphasis that some of the most sen- timental actually cried. However, Mrs. Roth relieved the strain by singing "Tipperary" and everyone joined. even chubby Carelton, who had just come in.
 Everyone on the Baronial squad Is now crazy about golfing. For the pest two Sundays and even during the week days the Barons strolled out to the Country club and tried a round or two. The conversation between the athletes is somewhat along the following man. ner:
 q say. Cecil. old top" says Edson Hemingway, my form thlS maWnlng IS not all bad. See that lawst drive of mine?"
 "Surest thing. you know. Edson. old toppie,' replies Cecil Coombs, and Dicl<ie Robertson comes along with:
 You chaps come along and see my new butter. You know my drives arc good but the professional inforr.s me that I am slightly off in my putting hence the new butter. Ha, Ina, joke, by love" Business of echoing ha ha s from Hemingway and Coombs.
 Mrs. David Roth has also fallen for the golf bug. Mrs. Roth With her hus- band and the two war correspond ents with the president of the Orlando Board of Trade enjoyed a splendid aft ernoon of golfing last Sunday. Or ,sndo has an excellent nine-hoie course and the party tried three rounds be- fore the scribes wilted. As for MT. and Mrs. Roth, they were ready for an- other round. Mrs. Roth turned in low scores in every round and easily sur passed the male contingent that tagged along.

HIGH "RUNTS" TO
 PLAY THE SENIORS

In a practice game with a combination of East Park and West End baseball stars, Central High school had a first real test applied to them yesterday afternoon. The picks were the victors by a 1 to c score. Coach Coureux was thoroughly satisfied with the showing made by his collection of diamond artists and the eff fective pitching of his three twirlers made a fine impression upon their instructor. Hickey Harrell and Jenkins were all given an opportunity and only four hits were gathered during the nine rounds. Off of Paul Gannong, the opposing moundsman, the High school boys counted for only three safeties.
 only the regulars were used yesterday and a few more practice games will put the team in first class condition for their initial battle on April ? at Marion. An entirely new team had to be constructed as only four were left from the past year s team. The infield was built around Jen- lkins and the outfield, Grant. More games are constantly being added to the already heavy schedule and to hold a perfect rec ord for the coming season the local boys must do some lively hustling.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
 PRACTICE BATTLE

Striving for high record, the Gen. tral High school "runts," players who weigh under 125 pounds vii take OH every senior grammar school team in the city. Under the direction of Coach Courleux the "runts' have already at tained a high achievement. On Wednes- day afternoon they defeated the Pratt City team only 21 to ?, while on yes- terday afternoon they easily romped over the strong Barker school team by count of 22 to s. The hurlers or 10th were easily moved down and during the coming summer these ambi- tious youths will attempt to deal like' wise with the other grammar school teams in the city. An average Of two teams week will be played. F. 5.

 The warm Orlando sun came out In force today and the fans and fanneis' who came to bid the Barons fareWei' were rewarded by one of the pest played and most exciting paseoai' games seen in many a day.

Coombs who was half way to the plate. stopped and in a chase was an easy out. In the sixth inning, Ogazon ran from third base to the front of the grandstand for a catch of Ellam's high pop fly. In fac; the closeness of the score may be held 10 the fact that there was too much Ocazon on the field.

Hemingway Again

Although Ogazon made the featured play of the game. our own little Edson Hemingway was very much in evidence. E,dson was four times at the bat, hit q sizzler to center, scoring a run and after stealing second scored himself. In the field he secured one putout and four assists. all dazzlers Edson, after the game, was presented with hand : some Panama hat for having stolen the most bases during the eNhlbltion se- ries.
 The Havana Reds started in the first as if they were going to massa : ere the Barons for the defeat of yes terday Dickie Robertson pitched three spit balls and three clean singles in 3 row followed, which resulted in a run. After this Robertson discarded the damp delivery and LiJan and Mendie ta struck out. Gutierrez flied out and that ended the first session. After that the Barons were never in danger of being scored on. as Robertson held the enemy hitless for the next four innings and Hardgrove in the last three stanzas was invincibe.
 The Barons runs came In the nth after Carroll had strolled. Magee grounded out, advancing the first ssck- CT. Hemingway made the first clean hit off Pedro Gonzales and scored Carroll. Hemingway stole second and scored on Coombs' single to left. That ended the Baronial scoring.
 Coombs batted 1000 for the day, walk ing twice and banging out two safe blows.

Gold Deposits.
An interesting phase of Mr.. Bells
address was his reference to gold
mines. Many placer districts, he said,
had proved shallow in quartz values.
This, he believes, is because the mills
of the gods have ground down the
veins to produce placer gold, leaving
only the roots. Notable exceptions
were manifested, however. These ex-
ceptions were definitely shown in
Grimes pass, Pearl, Horseshoe Bend
and elsewhere, where enormous in
trusions and extensive naturalization
of lode deposits have occurred, either
prior to or after the placer values
were produced, and where conspicu-
Gus igneous manifestations occur and
permanent vein values are likely to
be found and maintained at consider
able depth. The locations mentioned,
he said, might be compared to the
formations at Butte, Mont.
