CABARET SMOKER
 WILL BE SUCCESS
Reservations Going Fast. Orcutt and Chesnutt
 to Entertain

Reservations are coming thick and fast for the cabaret smoker to be given in honor of Robert H. Baugh, president of the Southern league and the pennant winning Barons at the Birmingham News paper club tomorrow night. Reservations are at $1 each and all the old true and tried fans are coming across in great shape,
 According to Secretary Dameron of the newspaper club about POO of the faithful can he comfortably entertained and ai- ready half that number have requested reservations so unless some of the ad- mirers of President Baugh and the Barons do not care to be disappointed it is ad- visable that they get in communication with the office of the secretary of the Gambler of Commerce or with the news paper club immediately as the reserva- tions are going very fast
 The idea of cabaret smoker for MT. Paugh- and the Barons seems to have struck popular note amongst the busi. ness men of the city and all are respond ing very readily to the call. 1t is a.so stated that all the plans for opening day will be announced at the festive board tomorrow night.
 Among the celebrities at the smoker to- morrow night will be Commodore Orcutt, the famous announcer, and Scott Ches- mutt, the equally famous umpire and wit

BOWMAN ID HURL AGAINST bARONS Alabama Preparing to Give Professionals a Stiff
 Battle

University, March 30-(Specal. )-The University of Alabama baseball squad will have a hard week. going up against the Birmingham Barons tomorrow, and Vanderbilt Friday and Saturday. This will be the first time in a number of years that Alabama has faced gold and black team.
 Alabama will send in practically the same lineup Tuesday that faced Birming- ham college in the first game of that series Roman will most likely open up in the box, with Captain Wells receiving. Hamilton, Ladd and Cargile will appear at first second and short. respectively. Rabb or Robbins will be stationed at the last corner In the outfield Brannon has about earned himself home. Burnett looks good for right field, while Craw- ford is sure of going in at left. The hit ting of the latter has been one of the noticeable features of the early games. He slammed out two doubles Saturday and would have had a triple to his credit had he not been held back by one of the other fielders, who had to go back to touch second when Crawford hit his most vicious smash.
 Robbins put up one of the fanciest field ing games at second Saturday that has been seen around here in many days. He started at third, but when McCann came to the hot corner, the Colonel took Mickey Ladds place. This is Robbins natural position, and it is pity that the teams best fielder occupies it. Ladd is said to be in class by himself in south- ern college baseball many wizards hay ing voiced excellent opinions of his work. As the change of Cargile to the outfielj has failed to materialize, Robbins has to fight with the only newcomer. Rabb, at third, for his Alabama uniform

 Hardgrove was informed of the devilish plot after inning had elapsed and asked why he wasn't growing the pill. He made his characteristic reply:
 You can't kid a dummy.
 Dickie Robertson. Burleigh Grimes, Dave Roth, Pat Dougherty and Karl Black each had two sessions to exhibit their pitching wares and all got away in fine style In fact, the Nannigans were absolutely helpless before the shoots of Grimes, Robertson and Black.
 George Hale, who is slated for the rosi- tion of regular catcher was behind the bat for the yannigans and made an ex- oellent impression with the wiseacres in the stands. George who had not secured healthy wallop for the past week. killed the 'jinx'' by mailing one on the seam for safety in the seventh inning George now allows that he will surely bust then
 Shotgun John Wallace, who caught for the regulars, was very much on the Job and caught finished game. Incl dentally Wallace caught one of Arthur Johnson's curverinos for line drive through the box that went for home run. AS JdcN cdine squirting nome the boys on the bench yelled:
 Whistle, Jack, whistle.
 And Jack showed that he was in first class trim by stopping and whistlins:
 "A hot time in the old town tonight.
 Altogether the Barons with their snap showed such excellent form yesterday afternoon that the experts who were on hand to criticize were rather up against 1t to find fault. The fans were on hand to watch the first and second position. s many had expressed doubts on the ability of Carroll, Coombs and Clark It is ad- mitted that the first bag and the keystone corner are probable weaknesses. but it was not evident yesterday afternoon. thrown his way and his fielding and hit ting was all that could be expected In fact. many remarked that Carroll was looking better this year than last. And Carroll is not in the best of condition at the present. for he is suffering from a strained tendon. AS for Cecil Coombs, that youngster showed very well at the keystone bag yesterday. He felded error lessly and his hitting has already been commented on. It can be stated that if Carroll and Coombs play ball the way they played yesterday that they are in no dan ger of losing their jobs. The score:

League President
 Sees Baron Victory
President Baugh Watches Barons Trounce Yannieans Redwood d-Score to 1-President w. D Smith Also on
 Hand-"Shotgun'' John Wallace Gets Home Run
By RICHARD F. LussrER

President Robert H. Baugh. of the Southern league, and President w. D. Smith, of the Birmingham Baseball asso- citation. viewed with much elation the cavordtings of the rejuvenated Barons at Redwood Field yesterday afternoon. For the edifcation of the two presidents the regular Barons trouneed the yannigans in an eght-inning set-to the tune of s to 1.
 President Smith had viewed the Barons fin Orlando and at Lakeland, Fla, last week, and therefore was familiar with the snappy playing of the youngsters. However, to President Baugh it was in a sense a revelation to see the boys prac- Etically in mid-season form.
 "The Barons look better to me. said yPresident -Baugh, than last year at this time. It is evident to me that despite the indictment weather encountered in Florida that the training trip has been of beneficial character. The Barons are looking very good-very good, in deed"
 President Baugh. who had been reading of the wallopnng deeds of one-Lord Ce-, ell Coombs-saw that worthy young man itidSt d tTtiutIdOuS tAltt-bdSc DioW III HIS first appearance at the bat off an offer ing of John Cantley, and a screaming single the second time he appeared at the plate. Coombs went to bat twice later and hit screaming liners which went straight in the felders' hands. Coombs visibly impressed MT Baughl with his batting prowess and also the handful of faithful fans who were in the stands to watch the practice.
 If Cecil Coombs did some walloping that impressed the league mogul, young Edson Hemingway also hit a few. Edson was up four times and slammed out a triple, double and single Outside of that trifiing accomplishment, fleming way attempted to scoop everything in the infield and came very near doing so The fans also liked the looks of Hemingway.
 Manager Molesworth tried out all of his pitchers yesterday afternoon in the practice game. Two innings was the portion of each hurler and with the ex ception of Cantley and Johnson all ac- quilted themselves with credit. Both Cantley and Johnson worked against Co., lumbus last Saturday afternoon and therefore were not ready to go against the strong regulars on such short notice
 Some very clever pitching was shown by Omar Hardgrove When old Hardy yannigans few of the regulars started

It is a blow against food and raiment. blow on the side of poverty and want.
