DIAMOND SPARKS

Cobb. If either Jimmie Magee or Arthur Hartle beat Stewart out of a job they will have to show much im- provement. Incidently Red Stewart is one of the most popular players In the Baronial ranks with the Birming- ham fans.
 Charley Carroll had 10 put-outs at first yesterday afternoon and several very difficult chances. Carroll is showing constant improvement under the coaching of Molesworth and will be one of the few good initial sackers in the league by the time the season opens Carroll secured timely triple yesterday.
 "Honus" Wagner, the great, will be with us again this afternoon Local fans should come out to Redwood to see this wonderful veteran play base ball.
 The opening of the season is only six days away. All the fans should get together and rally around to bring an army of 10000 to Redwood Field next Wednesday.
 New Orleans and Atlanta are a:so after the attendance trophy, and it behooveS the local fans to get to- gether and hustle. The tickets for the opening game will go on sale next Monday morning.
 Scott Chesnutt the Beau Brummel'' of Southern league umpires, was stroll ling about town yesterday and stated that he expected to be at Redwood this afternoon. Scott will be well comed after the guessing contest of- fered by Omar Hardgrove yesterday afternoon on balls and strikes.
 As both teams suffered from Omar's poor guesses there was little kicking the players regarding Hardy as a necessary evil.
 A fan offered the suggestion yester- day that the Barons were losing the exhibition games because if they won them all the other clubs in the league would know just how strong the local team Is. Something in that, old kid. Come again and suggest "Tod' Sloan for first base. Charlie Carroll for second and Cecil Coombs as right fielder. While suggesting, do not for get to mention 10000 ardent fans for opening day. R. F. L.

BARONS' PLAYING
 LACKS COHESION

In the second and third the Barons went out in order. In the fourth Edson Hemingway hit a savage liner along the center field groove. and was out at the plate on perfect fielding by Lejeune, who relayed the ball back to the infield very fast In the fifth Wagners great stop prevented any damage, but the Barons managed to score in the sixth on Ma maux, right lander who succeeded Kantlhener. Grimes singled and went to second when Carroll singled. Stewart walked. With the bases intoxicated and three heavy hitters coming it looked like a healthy rally for the Barons. Hem- ingway grounded to Wagner, who scooped the ball up and stepped on second, fore ing Stewart. Grimes had scored on the play. Lord Cecil Coombs came up and great things were expected of him. He lifted a towering fly to center which Lejeune gathered in. and then made a perfect throw to the plate for a double play on Carroll. Thus the rally ended with only one run.
 In the ninth the Barons scored an- other when Cecil Coombs singled and ad- vanced to third on a pass and an error by Wagner. Coombs scored on Hale s sacrifice fly to center.
 This afternoon Arthur Johnson will pitch and Shotgun John Wallace will catch. George McQuillan, one of the vet erans of the game, will likely be on the mound for the Pittsburg tteam and the great 'Honus' Wagner will again be that the Barons will play better this afternoon, for MoIesworth had a heart to heart talk with his boys last night.

In one of the worst games of baseball ever played on Munger Field, Birming- ham college defeated Albertville yester- day afternoon for the third time by the score of 13 to P. IL was more of pri- mary school game than one of college fellows. It was a game of seeing who cpuld knock the ball the farthest and who could make the most errors.
 The pitching was miserable, but might have been better if there had been any kind of decent support but as it was, Capps, Nations, W. Thomson and Ray should have honorable mention by not getting a hit, The two teams made 20 errors and 29 hits between them. Morton got two doubles, a triple and two sin gles out of five times up and Scott got two triples and two singles in the same number of times.

ALABAMA NINE
 DEFEATED 6 ID O University of Illinois Easily Outclasses U. of A.-Hit- ting of Real Features
By JESSE JOHNSON

Tuscaloosa, April 7.-6Special) )--The University of Alabama was completely outlassed by the University of Illinois Wednesday afternoon in game that end- ed with the count of to 0. The play of the entire Illinois team was of an order that has not been seen here this season. The pitching of Halas, who allowed only three hits. and the swatting of Third Base man Real, who knocked out four hits in the five trips to the plate, were the feat ures. From an Alabama standpoint there were no unusual events in the course of the affair. Robbins at short allowed four grounders to get through him in the first two innings, and was replaced by Cargile. He, though erring twice in the infield, made two excellent stops.
 Coach Graves used nearly every sub stitute infielder and outfielder he had, 16 Alabama men taking part. The score by innings:

YOHN l.. CANTLEY of Ensley
 drafted from the Opelka club in 0 in the Georgia Alabama league last fall by Carleton Molesworth, was transferred to the Evansville club in the Three I league Tuesday after noon on an optional agreement. Johnnie Cantley will return to the Barons in the fall.
 Cantley is right-hander, young and ambitious. He came to the Dr. lando training camp this spring in ex- cellent condition and was soon sending over some twisters in batting practice that plainly showed that he was some pitcher Cantley has speed, an excel- lent curve ball and fair control, and in every game this spring gave every indication of knowing how to pitch. That Cantley will make good with tho Evansville club Is undoubted by his Baronial teammates.
 Molesworth allowed Cantley to drift away for the season because of a superabundance of good right-handers In Omar Hardgrove. Dickie Robertson, Dave Roth, Arthur Johnson and Bur- leigh Grimes the chubby one has about the classiest quintet of right-handed hurlers in the Southern circuit. The above five had been tried and Moles- worth knew what they could do--and thus the youngster Cantley went away fx, more experience.
 
 As Omar Hardgrove and Arthur Johnson are also certainties this leaves the next two vacancies In the pitching staff to be filled by Dave Roth, Dickie Robertson and Karl Black, the south paw. So far this season Black has showed very little, but Molesworth, remembering the great pitching of the fork-hander last season, Is hopeful that the southpaw will soon round to form and pitch the brand of ball he is capable of.
 Should Karl Black be retained the fight for a regular berth on the pitch ing staff would then simmer down to Dave Roth and Dickie Robertson. Both of these hurlers have so far shown. excellent form and knotty problem presents itself to Molesworth in deciding on the merits of either pitcher. However. the final decision will not be made for some little time.
 AS to Pat Dougherty and Carl Ray, beth left-handers, they are slated to be Harmed" at an early date.

man doubled again, depopulating the paths and Lejeune and Gibson, evidently acting on the urgent request of the wis lung scribes who were bored al the slaughter, were easy outs.
 In regards to the Baron's scores it can be stated that Kantlhener, a speedy southpaw, was quite wild in the early innings, and the henchmen of Molesworth had several glorious opportunities to reg ister runs, but failed to get together In the first Carroll walked and Stew art singled. Then, just to show that they could do it, Carroll and Stewart worked the double steal However, it proved of little avail as Hemingway, Sloane and Coombs popped up three in- field flies and We're easy outs

The second game started off badly, 1t looked as though It would be a farce. Terry never exerted himself but struck out eight men in the five rounds of play.
