Of Eewsf matter stating that A H. t''Rick'') Woodward the millionaire owner of the Birmingham club had sent Manager Carlton Molesworth and an army of 34 players to Orlando for a months training tour. It was pointed out that many of the major league clubs were not carrying as many players as the Birmingham team. It was also stated that the Bir-
