Molesworh Announces Acquisition of Breaking fieder-Expected to Join Training Camp in Few
 Days-Outfied Looms Up Strong

orlando Fla, February 26.-(Special) Tale Sloan, the fence breaking out fielder of the St. Louis Browns, has been added to the Baron outfield, &C., cording to a statement given out by Manager Molesworth today. Sloan is expected to join the Baron training camp here in a few days.
 The acquisition of Sloan, according to Molesworth, was completed to all practical purposes several weeks ago, but owing to trouble in getting the slugger out of the major leagues, the Birmingham management thought 1t best to keep negotiations quiet until Sloan had been signed.

C.. tonight is of the same championship cali bre of previous seasons. Columbus and Atlanta were the only two teams to de- Ifeat the B. A. c. this season.

battle for the remaining garden posi- ton. Molesworth is looking for bat ting mate for the McBrideSloan pair, and it is expected that the candidate who shows the greatest aptitude with the willow will land the remaining permanent berth.
 In Sloan, Manager Molesworth un- doubtedly has secured one of the best all-round outfielders in the Southern league. In addition to being wonder full performer with the stick. the Geor- gia boy is fast and clean fielder and a deer on the bases. Sloan first broke into professional company with the Nor rlstown club in the Appalachian league. The next season saw him with Mont gomery. where his hard hitting won him a trial in the majors. Last season found him with the Nashville club. but an untimely sickness seriously handi- capped his work.

Chattanooga, February 26-(Special.) ) Jack White of Chicago and Cieve Atwell of Brooklyn fought eight terrific rounds to draw here tonight.

EAST BIRMINGHAM
 WAKES SARCASTIC
Representative Writes of What Will Happen in
 Soccer Game Today
Ky RICHARD F. LUssIER

At ? o'clock this afternoon Director z. Nespor of the Civic Recreation depart ment will line up the two champion SOC cer teams of the playground league for the crucial contest of the season. which will decide definitely the championship of the playgrounds of Greater Birming ham. The contenders are the East Bir- mingham team and the North Birming- ham team.
 Each aggregation has it's adherents and it is very difficult to pick a winner even Director Nespor refraining from making any statements regarding the probab ble victor, it is taken for grant ed that the teams are very evenly matched. Regarding the game this after noon the following dope was sent to The Age-H Herald sporting desk yesterday by the press representatives of the East Birmingham team:
 The soccer football boys who reside in East Birmingham though crippled by the loss of two players will present for mdable lineup Saturday afternoon at Redwood Field, and intend to make strong bid for victory. The boys do not claim to be sharks at the game, but
 insist that they possess the ability to North Birmingham. The East Birming- hammers are light. fast and scrappy and have kicked four goals to every one scored by their opponents this season.
 Great credit is due the boys for their showing this season owing to the fact that not a member of the team had ever played soccer football before. As for the North Birmingham team the major ity of the players are veterans in the Alabama Association Football league.
 Glass. goal keeper for East Birming ham, is not to be run over by the vet erans of North Birmingham, for he has the knack of putting the ball down the field in a hurry Walker and Victor Schmutz. the East Birmingham fullbacks play excellently and Graves, Campbell. the halfbacks, are expert in 'feeding" the ball to the forwards. w. Loveless will play center and though he is the smallest man on the team he has kicked more goals than all his team mates. Nell son. the 'Terrible Swede," and F. Love less, the outside wings. are speedy and have never missed goal. Bagley and Hanes, the inside wings. are noted for theis Shoulder work and usually make arrangements to spill opponents on all possible occasions. In fact. looking at the East Birmingham team as a whole, it is very clear to see that it is a win ner and the fans may expect walkover against the arrogant aggregation of North Birmingham.
 After reading the riot act" above the North Birmingham team will undoubtedly be enthused to enter the game with zest and anything else that they are able to get by the referee What dymean, play.

MIR. BAUGH.

MIR. BAUGH.
 Next Thursday the directors of the Southern league will elect a sue cessor to the late Judge w. M. Kav- anargh. Observers of the affairs of the association have only one guess as around the Southern circuit That choice is Robert H. Baugh, president of the Birmingham Baseball associa- tion.
 Mi. Baugh will be rendered the pres- idency of the Southern league be- cause he has made a success al the executive of the largest and most profitable baseball club in the associa- ton. The magnates of the other Southern cities. have known of Mr Baugh for years, and every annual meeting has strengthened their respect for the sage and business-lilxe advice of the executive from Birmingham. Therefore, it occasions little surprise among persons well informed in base bali affairs that when the grim reaper rem owed Judge Kavanaugh the name of Robert H. Baugh should be inn mediately mentioned as the successor to the dead and lamated leader. No opposition looms ahead foY MT. Baugh. The only question is his acceptance of the responsibilities of the position. Mir. Baugh is a busy man. He has many large business interests others than being the executive of the Bir- mingham club. It is these diversified affairs that Mir Baugh ayers pre- cludes his acceptance of the presi- dency of the league. However, Mr. Baugh will accept if the welfare of the association depends upon it. Mr. Baugh has never failed to come to the aid of the league; he win not fail in this crisis to answer the call his brother magnates will make upon him. It will take an able and wise coun- cilor. a pacificator and a strong lead CT to fill the place left vacant by the sudden death of Judge Kavanaugh. Thcs. requisites the leaders of the Southern league recognize are vested in the genial personality of Robert H. Baugh of Birmingham, their choice for president of the association.

 BASKETBALL.
 Columbus, the champion of cham pons, comes to town this morning, and tonight will battle with the re- iuvonated B. A. C.'s in the gymnasium of the Athletic club. It is quite true that Columbus usually wins with ease over the locals, but tonight different tale will be told. The tip has gone fort, from Doc Crow, the physical di- rector that his team will wallop the Columbus aggregation with the facile. deftness with which defeat was ad- ministered to the redoubtable Univer sity of Alabama quintet. We have faith in the tips of Doc Crow for it cannot be denied that the B. A. c. team are playing like champions at the present time.
 Tonights game with Columbus will he the last game of the season unless a series of games are arranged with the Seniors of the Young Mems Chris tian association.

sory importance to the drug business,
