BARONS SIGN NEW OUTFIELDER; FIRST MOVE IN SHAKE-UP
LESWORTH l PLANS COME BACK
Chubby Manager in Active Training and Will Soon
 Be Seen in Action

MoIesworth is on the verge of do- ing a "comeback."
 The rotundaI leader of the Barons is getting himself in trim to return to the game in event the Barons do not pick up their stride. sIoiesworth is confident that his trusty willow will still pound out hits at 300 clip. If the Bnrons do not tighten their hold on a place in the first division before August 1 he has announced that he will re-enter the strife.
 Last season, his fourteenth in the Southern league Molesworth signed a players contract, placed himself in the outfield and slugged at a .SSS clip for the 27 games he participated in. The timely blows of the Birmingham boss played a large part in the winning of the bunting after Kniseiys departure to the Cubs.
 "If on August l." said Molesworth last night. the Barons are not going better than they are at present, intend to re- turn to the game in the outield. I am getting into condition for active work again and feel that good fortune might enable me to hit well again Injuries have played havoc with the effectiveness of the club, but, with all of the regulars in good shape, we ought to be right in the running.
 While it is a rathae difficult proposition to get into shape for regular participation, I have been exercising fop some time and feel that I will be ready in event my services are needed,"
 By the time limit set, Molesworth will have had an opportunity to see the new lineup, including the outfieder for whom he Is dckering. in operation. If the ex- pected spurt follows, the Baron boss will remain on the bench. If not, he will de- pose some gardener and appear in the outer works.

Barons Rout The Memphis Chicks $4Ssf $s;$ <
PLAYER IS SECURED BY BARONS Al Bashang of Saginaw Team Reports at Redwood
 Early This Week

Al Bashang, n speedy outieIder from the Saginaw tenn in the defunct Southern Michigan league, will report for n trial with the Barons. President W. D, smith announced last night thnt Bashang has been ordered 10 report as soon as possible for trini.
 The newest recruit is a speed merchant. While he has never slugged heavily, he is reputed to be a sensationally fast out fielder and star on the bases. He has been in the Southern Michigan league for several seasons. At one time he had trial with the Detroit Tigers, but was farmed out to Saginaw. He was recom- mended to Molesworth last year.
 In Bashang. Birmingham will have a bateman who is ambidextrous. He hits both left and rght-handed, and has been the leader of batsmen with Saginaw. He is reputed to be a finished player.
 Cecil Coombs was a member of a team ir the same league with Bashang and is acquainted with him. "Bashang is speedy player" Cecil stated last night.
 and is a swell fielder While he has never slugged very heavily, he has played consistently and managed to hit about .2G0 or .27O He is a terror on the bases and always manages to pilfer a goodly number of bases during a season.
 He has been lead-off man for several seasons, and is a good waiter He hits from either side. Personally, he is a nice fellow"
 Beshang was wired transportation to Birmingham yesterday, and is expected to report at Redwood early next week. He has not been signed permanently. and will not be until he has proved his worth. What changes his coming will force have not been announced, nor has the position where he will play been divulged.
 He was a free agent when secured, as the Southern Michigan league gave up the ghost last week

Karl Black has long been noted as the iron man of the Southern league. but yes terday was the first time he has demon- strated his rare ability for the Barons although last season Herr Loudenslager was won't to pitch extra inning games every day for the defunct BiiliSens. Yes terday afternoon Black started the first game in excellent fashion and showed rare determination in the second inning when with none out Cruthers was passed and Bible promptly poled a fast one over the right field fence. However, none of the frisky Memphii came anywhere near scoring following this session, while the Barons suddenly recovering from a bat ting slump landed on Chandler in the sixth and murdered his slants to all parts of the lot for total of five runs.
 Black Starts Second
 Burleigh Grimes started warming up for the second game, but Manager Molesworth suddenly gave in the entreaties of Black, who asked to be sent in again, and the eccentric southpaw prepared to hurl the second game. A sudden shower inter- vened for several minutes. but after some delay one of the best games of baseball seen at Redwood Field during the cur rent season was started.
 In the first session the Chicks fell on Black for three solid hits and two runs. Dave Roth had his old mesmerizing influence over the Barons. in the first inning, but in the second session the Barons batted around for a quartet of wallops, a pass, an error and four runs. After the second inning Roth pitched n- vincible ball until the ninth, holding the Barons hitless. In the meanwhile the Chicks through some timely hitting in the fourth and seventh had accumulated two more counters and tied the score. In Memphis half of the nine after two were out Black weakened and allowed Mitchell to triple and Roth to single placing the Chicks in the lead. However when the Barons came to bat the thrills began,

''Jeems" Msgee made his second double of the game to center and Wallace, by daring base running scored the tying run However, the Barons had tasted blood and nothing but victory would satisfy. The fans in wild up- roar were throwing cushions all over the field and interfering with the play Lord Cecil Coombs tried hard to bring Magee home, but finally flied out to Red" Stewart. With two out Sloan came to bat and on the second ball pitched slammed the pellet to the right field fence. and Magee raced across the plate with the winning run.
