Double Header With Memphis Today

ET appears that Omar Hardgrove is
 unable to stand criticism. It fur A ther appears that the veteran hurler of the Baronial pitching staff is considerably peeved a certain callous references to his ineffectiveness this season.
 Under the circumstances the condol- ences of our friends are in order.
 This is all We have to say about name will not be mentioned again un- til his release is announced, which will be within the next few weeks.
 Sporting writers are but human and will make many mistakes during a sea- son. However. 1t is exceedingly bad taste in our opinion for burly athlete to attempt to browbeat a writer. It is our opinion that players should with stand newspaper criticism in the man. ner they take the jeers of the fans. Criticism is aimed at a player to liven him up-to make him play better, It certainly is not the intention to make a fighter out of him because fighting as a rule is dreadfully embarrassing to sporting writers.
 
 It is rumored that Lefty George, fomerly of the St. Louis Browns, has been signed by the local management and will report for a trial next Thurs day.
 It Is further rumored that Neal Ball, who played several seasons ago with 3 Montgomery and formerly a star with the Cleveland and New York Ameri- can league teams, has been secured by the Barons. It is further stated that

Ball refuses to report to the Barons because of his aversion to playing in the south. Ball, it is stated. wants to play on the Pacific coast.
 Rick Woodward, the genial and popular owner of the Barons, an- nounced prior to yesterdays game that if the Barons won the pennant this season he would give them training trip in Cuba next winter and spring.
 
 This is an unusually liberal reward for playing good ball and the Barons will now get together and play the game according to Hoyle.
 The showing against Memphis has not been pleasing. Still it should be remembered that the team is not hit ting and is all shot to pieces by in- juries and illness The addition of new blood and the release of few of the pensioners should put the Bar ons on their feet.
 Something is needed and quickly, to stop the losing streak.
 Despite the four straight defeats, a good crowd should be out to wit ness the doube-header this afternoon. Arthur Johnson will pitch the first game and Karl Black will work in the second affair.
 Both Johnson and Black are pop ular and efficient pitchers and dou- ble bill with these boys on the fir ing line should bring out the loyal and faithful fans.
 Anyway, the time to cheer up a team Is when 1t is losing. Let's all root for a double victory this after noon. Let's pull the Barons out of a slump with the old encouraging war yell All together, now, boys-pull for the Barons.

Owner Woodward Comes Out With Remarkable
 Offer to Players
GENIAL RICK ALSO TO
 STRENGTHEN TEAM
Molesworth Admits He Is Seeking New Men-Thinks Woodward's Generous Offer Will Make
 Barons Brace Up

Instead of enjoying training trip at Orlando, Fla. next spring the Bar ons will train under the baImy breexes of Cuba-thnt is. providing they win, the pennant this season.
 Yesterday afternoon Rick Wood ward, the popular owner of the Bar ons, came forward with a remarkable offer to his players. It was this:, If they should hustle and cop the flag he would stand all the expenses of a six weeks training trip to Cuba next spring.
 With this announcement of owner Woodward comes the news that there will be a big shift among certain play CTS and some. experienced men pur- chased in the immediate future It is felt Chat there must be winning team in Birmingham to keep it one of the best drawing cities in the circuit and steps are now being taken to secure the services of two or three men from the 4najor leagues.
 To Strengthen Barons
 With the added strength of the Bar ons contemplated 1t would not be sur prising to see the boys start win ming rush and win a second consec- utive pennant. The Barons at the pres ent time are far from being out of the race and despite the four straight defeats at the hands of Memphis the winning aggressive spirit of the team is not broken. The Barons, with the generous offer of Owner Woodward dangling before them are due for. a winning squirt.
 "If the team wins the pennant this season. said Rick Woodward yester- day, "I will take them on six weeks training trip to Cuba next spring.
 "I consider that we are far from being out of the race and am looking for a winning spurt once our hitters start to hitting. The pitching staff is one of the best of the league and with the addition of one or two sx perienced players it would not surprise me to see the boys pull up in front at the close of the season.
 However this Is definite offer to the Barons. Let them go out and win the pennant and one of the. best trips ever given to a minor or major league ball club is before them next spring. I believe this should be incentive enough for the boys to go out and win"
 Manager Carleton Molesworth when apprised of the offer of MT. Woodward last night stated that it was in line with the liberal policy followed by the Baron owner In the past.
 MOleswOrth to Get New Men
 Manager Molesworth also said that the team was not winning because 1t was not hitting and that he was In search of new talent.
 What we need is a few experienced players out there. and the sooner l can get hold of one or two good men the better it will be for our chances this season. However, it is best not to make public at this time just which players the Birmingham club is after.
 "Of course the generous offer of MT. Woodward to take us to Cuba if we win the pennant Is bound to inject the winning spirit in the boys. However. the offer Is not surprising to me as Mir Woodward is well known to be one of the most liberal and progressive men in baseball"

Frisco Lord and his chortIing Chicks hopped on the faltering Barohs yes terday to the dismal tune of to O. It was the fourth consecutive victory for the tribe of Memphii.
 There was no comparison between the teams yesterday The chickasaws played gingerly in the field and ran bases like Frightened deer At the bat the Chicks walloped vicousy everything that came anywhere near the plate and only the brilliant fielding of Cecil Coombs, in left and "Jeemsp Magee in center kept the score down. In the box Jimmy Keeley toyed with the Barons for most of the game, but toward the latter innings the Chicks hurler let up and allowed some of the Barons to fatten their shrinking bat ting averages.
 The game began with Burleigh Grimes in the box, but after the rosy checked boy had been found for eight hits and had walked four Chicks for quintette of runs in five innings "Old Master" Omar Hardgrove took up the pitching burden in the sixth and the small crowd for a La dies Day began leaving the park. It was then that the game was turned into a farce.
 "Old Master" Receives Ovation
 fusllade of hits mixed with three passes and wild pitch embarrassed Hardgrove to the extent that Memphis scored three more runs In the seventh, through some nifty fielding, Hardgrove escaped being scored on. although the frlx ad ba1 .rffb the eighth a pass and one hit scored the last run for the Memphi Although the Chicks rapped Hardgrove for two more hits in the ninth, they did not score, be- cause the game had now developed into burlesque for the benefit of the hand ful of fans that remained in the grand stand. In the four innings Hardgrove pitched he allowed eight hits, four passes and made a wild pitch. This was re- markable hurling for the incomparable Omar.
 The Barons never threatened to score until the eighth, when Sloan opened with a single. Lindsay also singled but Ellam hit into fast and sparkling double play and the hopes of the Barons died as Dannie Clark grounded out.
 Prior to the game yesterday it was a nounced that Edson Hemingway had bee taken off the ineligible list and would be in the lineup. However while in prac- tice Hemingway was struck on the tenn pie by thrown ball and was unconscious for several minutes. When revived it was decided to keep Hemingway out of the lineup for the present It was also announced that Clyde Mcbride, the vet eran outfielder had been placed on the ineligibl elst.
 This afternoon there will be a double header with the Chicks. The first game will begin at 2:l5 o'clock. Arthur Johnson will pitch the first game and Karl Black the second gan Both affairs will be of seven innings duration.
