CLEVELAND MAPS TO PLAY THE BARONS HERE TOM o R R OW

A home-run clout along the center field groove by Vic Safer. after Zimmerman s tap in back of second had been allowed to fall safe in the fourth inning gave the Chicago Cubs" another victory over the Barons at Redwood Field yesterday alt ernoon. The score was to 2
 "Charley Chaplin Johnson was on the mound for the Barons and for seven in nings he pitched the prettlest kind of a game, and with any hitting by his team mates would have won. Black, who sue ceeded lanky Arthur in the last two ses- sions, escaped without injury, although Bresnahan beat out a bunt in the ninth. The fielding of the Barons was much im- proved yesterday-the only miscue being charged to Johnson, who made low throw to Carroll to catch Fisher in the fifth A one-handed catch by Cecil Coombs in the fourth of Archer's line drive, which was labeled for sure double was the feature of the game.
 The first inning went by without damage for either club. Goode struck out and Fisher grounded out. Shulte walked and was out, stealing on perfect throw by Shotgun" John Wallace. For the Barons Carroll famed. Hartke walked
 
 and Sloan grounded out. In the second inning both the Cubs" and Barons scored a run.
 Zimmerman grounded out on a neat stop by F,llam Safer walked and scored on 8 double to left center by Cy Williams. The Barons made their first run when Coombs was passed and advanced to third on Me- Brides single to center. Coombs scored when Elam hit into a double play Fisher, McLarry to Safer.
 In the third inning both sides were re- tired in order, but in the fourth the dam aging home run by Safer blasted the hopes of the Barons. Zimmerman popped fly back of second. Either Hartle or Sloane could easily have caught the ball. but Coombs made vain attempt and the pail fell safe between the three men. Vic Safer followed this by hitting one along the center field groove for a home run. Cy Williams then struck out and Archer lined to Coombs who jumped at least 10 feet in the air and nailed the ball with his gloved hand. It was the feature catch of the afternoon. McLarry flied out to Sloan against the right field fence.
 The Barons scored their last run in the fourth, after Sloan had struck out. Cecil Coombs singled sharply to cen ter. Mcbride also singled to center but fast fielding held Coombs at the key stone corner Ellam struck out. Wal lace walked and the bases were filled. Cheney failed to locate the plate for Arthur Johnson and Coombs scored.

OWENTON COLLEGE
 IN GREAT SHAPE Albertville Opponents To- morrow = Nation and
 Scott Will Work

The Birmingham college team is in bet ter shape now than any time this season, and when Albertville comes tomorrow they will meet a team that is bent on making clean sweep of the series. Coach Pinson has been working his players late in the afternoon remedying the weak spots that showed up in the Hamilton series.
 Coach Pinson's greatest worry now is his pitching staff, as he has only two de- pendent twrlers, Nations and Weems. Hammond will be out of the game all season. and Wares arm has gone back on him. Capps and Franklin are working hard every afternoon and might be used in pinch.
 Boyd is covering first in mid-season form. Neil is holding down second as well as could be expected while Jones at short is the star of the infield He Is covering ground from behind third base to sec ond and his begging to first is perfect Third base is the weakest spot in the in- field. As yet Walton and Ware have not shown much form, but Pinson is devoting all his spare time to the keystone bag. The outfeld could be called perfect in every respect as Davenport, Norton. Capps, Goodwin and Stewart are playing such high caliber of ball that it is q hard matter to choose between them
 The batting of the team is good, with Jones as the leader so far, hard pressed by Capps, Norton and Davenport. On the whole, 1t is a well balanced team, so after the Albertville series is over with Nations and Weems doing good pitching, with such catchers as Ware and Scott at the receiving end, little Is to be feared of Howard at the end of this month. The batteries for tomorrow afternoon against Albertville Munger field will be Na- tions and Scott.

 A SQUABBLE is brewing about "A the 'Iil' Marcan episode AMarcan has been awarded to the Oakland club and refuses to leave Little Rock. The matter is now be- ing thrashed out by the national commission.
 In New Orleans the Item prints story to the effect that President Baugn, of the Southern league, is involved in the Marcan affair. The Pelican scribe infers that MT. Baugh while president of the Birmingham club, disposed of Arthur Marcan to the Oakland club and by doing this, disregarded one of the league rules of requesting waivers on the player before selling him out of the associa- ton. The New Orleans scribe hints that the Birmingham club is liable to . fine of s400 for the alleged violation of the waiver rule.
 Thus far the Birmingham club has been upheld in its dealings about Mar can. Secretary Farrell has decreed
 
 must play ball with the Oakland club which purchased him from Birming- ham for 5000. The outcome of the appeal to the national commission is awaited with much interest.
 
 In regards to Karl Black, who os- tensibly came to Birmingham from Little Rock in exchange for Marcan, it is understood that the waiver price of s400 will be paid Little Rock club and Black will remain in Birmingham no matter what becomes of Marcan. The Marcan affair is being pushed to conclusion by President Baugh. The league head would like to retain Marcan in the Southern league and stated yesterday that there was a possibility that some arrangement might be made with the Oakland club whereby the little keystoner would play in Little Rock this season. Mar can is anxious to play at Little Rock because he is virtually manager of that team. and ''Lil' is ambitious to show the rest of the circuit what kind of a baseball leader he really 1s.
 Bris Lord, resigned as manager of the Memphis club last Thursday Red McDermott and Jimmie Keeley, both staunch friends of Lord. also sev- cred their connection with the Turtles when the manager resigned. A scan- da1 is rumored.
 However. the News-Scimitar, which carried the story, stated that 1t was . fairly good item for April 1st.

the OpelilSa club last season in the Geor- gia-Alabama league, and made such record that Molesworth drafted him at the close of the season. This spring he has impressed Molesworth to such an ex- tent that the chubby one is rather reluc- tant to allow the youngster to be
 farmed' out. Owing to the showing of Cantley against some of the big leaguers in the training camp there is a possible doubt as to whether Cantley can be waived out of the league. If Cantley is Harmed" out he will go to the Evans vile club in the Three I league
 As for Patricia Dougherty, the speedy forkhander from the Canadian league, Molesworth is also doubtful about al- lowing the youngster to go, Dougherty has a world of speed and curves, but is shy control This has proved disas- trous to the Barons on several occasions this spring. Should Dougherty attain control he would be one of the star pitch CTS of the game Dougherty is one of the youngest men on the Baronial squad and is of a quiet, studious disposition. He has made a very favorable impression on Mo1esworth, who will give him a thor ough trial before allowing him to return to the Canadian league. But there is still a chance that Pat will stick. R.

N Karl Black, Pat Dougherty and John l.. Cantley, Manager Carlton Moes- A worth has three likely looking young pitchers. Black and Dougherty are southpaws.
 Karl Blacks real name is Loudenslager,
 and he broke in the Southern league last spring with the Montgomery club. Man ager Bobby Gilks being shy of hurlers
 last season, sent in Black to the mound
 every other day, and during the season
 the big lefthander pitched 52 full games
 and won about % of them. Considering
 that Montgomery finished in last place
 the record of Black is remarkable This spring Black was transferred to Little Rock with the rest of the Mont gomery club, and then sold to Birming- ham in trade for "Lil' Marcan. At the training camp in Orlando, Black went
 into active training, and is now ready to pitch winning ball. Under the man. agement of Molesworth it is expected that Black will be one of the stars of the Southern league this season.

We are a patient and long suffering people. Otherwise we could hardly have stood 50 long as we have for Dr, Bernhard Dernburg, the press agent of the German government and head of the German propaganda in this country. We have tolerated the efforts of this alien trou- 6le-maker to line up one class of American citizens against the rest, when an American engaged in similar activity in Germany would have been jailed or shot.

HAVE A PLAN

Every farmer should have a definite plan to follow, says Prof. s. F. Morse, Supt.~ of the U. of A. Agricultural EX- tension Service and State Leader, U. s. Dept. Of kgri- culture. Many farmers are failing to make good because they are continually jumping rom one kind of crop or live stock to another in the hope of getting rich quick" The SureSt way to success in any farming in Arizona is to de- termine from the informa- tion and data available what type of farming is best adapt ed to ones local conditions, plan out the farm develop ment for a SeTIeS Ot years, and then stick to the plan. Such a plan should take into consideration the farmer himself, the soil, the climate, size of farm, market and the tranSDOrtatiO0 facilities and the farmers pocketbook. It must be evident to any one that the farmer who works along a certain definite tarm- ing plan is going to know more about the business than a farmer who changes his practice every year.
 The experts of the U. of A. Agricultural Extension Ser vice and the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station are anxious to help farmers prepare such working plans for the deveI- opment of their ranches.
