 Fields, youngster from Ensley, who came to Orlando at his own expense, has aocut decided not to sign a contract with nclesworth. According to Fields Moley does not appreciate a good ball player.
 I wouldn't sign up with Moley now for anything in the world, said the rookie TOT he does not appreciate me. I've got riore stun than Hardgrove, Johnson and the rest of 'em, but Moley simply don't encourage me or give me a chance. But that's all right-I bet I'll make him sorry for I'm going to leave here and get on with some other Southern league club. And mark my words, every time I meet Birmingham I'll trim 'em to death. Then as walk by the Baron bench maybe I won't speak sarcastically-just watch me. 9 When Molesworth was app-ised that Fields had definitely decided not to give his services to the Birmingham Base- ball association he was very much effect ed, but despite the shock was able to state that although the loss of Fields would make a serious difference, he hoped to overcome the loss before reaching Bir- mingham. Molesworth stated that no steps would be taken to prevent Fields from Junping to the Federals-or in the lake.

Orlando, Fla. March 10.-(Special)-It is conceded here that outside of the key stone sack that Molesworth has his regu- lar team all lined up for the season. The battle for the berth at second Is between Danny Clark and Coombs.
 Clark so far has been hampered with a bad ankle and has not shown his real ability. according to some of the boys who saw him play in Cuba last fall. If Clark should be able to regain the form he dis p,ayed last season it is conceded that he would have a chance to beat out Coombs, who undoubtedly has made very favor able impression with Molesworth by his hitting and speed on the sacks.
 Sunday afternoon Roy Ellam and Ar thur Johnson went out to the Orlando Country club with a bunch of the boys to play golf.

reproach. He is a man who will follow what he believes to be the right course regardless of consequences or results, regardless of personal benefits or am- bitions, and regardless of all ties of friendship. Furthermore, MT. Baugh is in a position financially to devote his entire time to his new duties. Last but not least, he is a man who loves baseball the sport more than baseball the busi- ness.--Cbattanooga News.
 Perfectly satisfied with the outcome of the race for a successor to the late Judge w. M. Kavanaugh, which resulted in the election Monday at Birmingham of Rob ert Baugh, the Baron mogul, President Clyde Shropshire returned to Nashville Monday.
 Although Mir. Shropshire cast his vote on every ballot against MT Baugh, he was one of the first to Congratulate the Baron president upon the great honor conferred upon him.
 MT. Baugh. although he faces a diff cult undertaking in assuming a place made vacant by a man of the mental, executive and diplomatic calibre of the late Judge Kavanaugh, will, beyond a doubt, make a capable official for the league. He has been identified with the Birmingham franchise for sometime, and in all his baseball dealings his conduct has been such as to merit commenda- tion.-Nashville Tennessean.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-11

President Baugh is one of the strongest men in the Southern league a man who has been in baseball many years, and who at all times has worked for the best interests of the organization. His election did not come in the nature of a great surprise, although it was thought that President Clyde Shropshire of Nash vile and MT. Coburn Kavanaugh of Lit tie Rock might be chosen.--Nas shville Ban- ner.
 The election of Mr. Baugh is due large- ly to the fight waged in his behalf by President Galloway of the Atlanta club. Throughout the meeting the Atlanta mag nate was on his feet continually combat ting every attempt to postpone the cleo ton or to name compromise candidate Therefore, the choice of Mir. Baugh is pleasing one to local baseball officials and fans, as it further cements the pleas ant relations between the Birmingham and Atlanta clubs.-Atlanta Constitution.
 The Southern league is to be congratu- lated upon securing Robert II. Baugh president of the Birmingham club to succeed the late Judge w. A Kava- naugh as it's president. In MT. Baugh the league obtains a man whose reputa- tion for honesty and fair play is above

 That wrigling piece of black hose star tied the players and it is understood that Arthur Johnson left the golf course, going due east at speed estimated varously by members of the Country club at mile a minute to 100 miles an hour.
