the only position in the Baronial infield as yet unsettled.
 In the outfield Clyde Mcbride and Red Stewart, veterans, will return, and if the recruits cannot make a good showing against the hurlers of the league Moles- worth will again don the spangles and return to the fray.
 The catching department will be better this season than ever before. The acqui- sition of Hargrove from the Chicago Cubs means that the Barons will have an ex- ceptional catching staff Hargrove is slated as first string catcher and Shot gun Jack Wallace will be the relief man.
 Tn pitchers the Barons have an abun- dance of material Of the regulars Omar
 Hardgrove, Dick Robertson and Dave
 Roth have signed up Of the recruits contracts are coming in every day. Moles.
 worth states that he will have the best kLrlng staff in the league the coming season, and that the veterans will have to
 pitch real ball to make good over the incoming rockies.
 And that ends the argument. The Baronial machine broken up last fall will be rebuilt this spring. At the present moment it appears that the rebuilding will be a highly satisfactory job as the
 material for the rebuilding looks excel lent from surface indications Yet there is many slip betwixt the bank cash ier's job and the bread line and it is possible that the Baron youngster may not toe the mark, but we depend on Moley, who says:
 With q little luck We will win" Molesworth ought to know. He won last year and won in 1912. As a pennant winner we have great faith in Moley SD has the rest of the fans.

MORGAN WkNTSA GAME WITH MALONE Challenges Former Cham piOn for Match at Cave
 Billiard ParlOrs

Aplopos the easy way in which W. A. Malone, former worlds champion billiard st, has disposed of local cracks in matches staged in Birmingham during the past week. and the talk of various Malone admirers resultant therefrom, W. H. Morgan, Alabama's s champion cue art st, has issued a challenge to the erst- while worlds champion for a match.
 Morgan has challenged Malone to meet him in a POO point game, balk line bill lizards. the match to be held in the Cave billiard parlors Tuesday night Morgan met Malone in Hot Springs, Ark, some years ago, when the latter was in his prime and the local billiardist was de- feated. Since that time Morgan has i'm proved considerably and believes that he is now more than match for his former conqueror.
 The challenge is attracting considerab ble interest in Birmingham. There is but lit tie doubt but that it will be accepted.

Wrinkles of Worry

Yet it is not the departure of CoVing- ton that will cause wrinkles of worry on the classic forehead of Molesworth. The first base position can always be filled with some degree of satisfaction if not with a star player. No. the vital prob lem this season Is that the entire Baronial infield Is out of whacll and must be en- tirely rebuilt. Last season Molesworth had only to get first sacker: this spring he must get by hook or crook d first second and third baseman. In other and clearer words, Roy Ellam, the veteran captain of the Barons. is the only standby lefi in the Baronial camp.
 There are other vacancies amongst tn } regulars. due 10 graduation to the ma jors and deresiction to the t'ederals, but these gaps in the outfield. pitching and catching departments Moesworth asserts can be remedied without too much trou- ble- but the infield-to construct new baseball machine, that is admittedly a difficult problem.
 Tho difficulties facing Molesworth have been pointed ont, and now will be shown the possibilities of the recruits, and whether or not the Barons will be con tenders in the pennant race this season. As the infeld is the most difficult prob len. facing Moley the newcomers in this department will first meet our inspection
 Charles Carroll, the young school teacher of South Carolina, who has acted utility man for the Barons the past two seasons, has been definitely decided upon to play first base this year by Manager Molesworth. He will practically have no opposition, and unless he breaks limb is slated for a regular berth.

Regarding One Carroll

Regarding One Carroll
 Now, how does Charlie Carroll class? Will he be an able successor to the heavy batting McGilvray or the flashy Coving- ton? These questions can be answered il this manner: Carroll always steady. cool-headed player, will bat close to .275 throughout the season, and his fielding average will be as high as the departed Covngton. There is little doubt but that Carroll will make good at first base. and this difficult corner of the infield Is disposed of to the satisfaction of Moles- worth, who says
 Charlie Carroll will make good at first base. This will be Carroll's best year in Southern league baseball"
 Danny Clark. raw recruit. is slated to play the keystone sack. Clark will have little opposition and Molesworth and will make the Rickwooders forget the graceful Arthur Marcan, who will play in the Pacific Coast league this year. If Clark falls down on the job. then Molesworth is up against it; on the other hand. if Danny comes through with what is expected of him, old Moley will have easy sailing. On the whole, second base will offer a knotty problem to the Barons this season
 Roy Ellam. the popular shortstop and veteran of past campaigns, will again be the field captain of the Barons. Of the shortstop position it can be stated that with Ellam on the job, the Barons have quite the cleverest short fielder in the Southern league.
 Problem No. 2
 At third base another problem confronts Molesworth. Last year Eddie Mcdonald and Charlie Carroll played the position Mcdonald was the better of the two through his years of experience in tn, majors and would make good man this season if he would play. .Molesworth as serts that Mac shows no inclination te play in Birmingham at the reduced con :ract oQered. and the g. 0. s. call is ut for a recruit third sarkcr.

 For several seasons the Barons have remained practically a close corporation in that the veterans held on to their jobs and the recruits had no chances to break en as regulars. The nucleus of the Barons was Arthur Marcan and Roy Ellam and Eili McGilvray. There were several other Tegulars, of whom only Clyde Mcbride end Roy Elam now remain under the arrangement of Molesworth. who must Also be considered as one of the veteran Slayer machine.
 The First Break
  real break in the Baronial machine. Big kill McGilvray had slowed up to such an extent the season before that Moles- worth had disposed of the veteran. That left gap at first base. There were also gaps in the outfield but the point was that the noted Baron infield was broken up.
 The spring training season started and finally from the St. Louis Browns Moles- worth obtained Tex Covington, a young made good with the Marcan-E -Ellam com binatio and the old-time masterful Baronial infield swept through the South ern league teams to an easy pennant The acquisition of excellent pitching ma terial fleet outfieider, the stellar play ing of Charley Carroll the utility man and the entrance in the game of Moes worth helped in a great measure to cincf the old flag, but nevertheless a team: victories depends on it's defensive DOW ers-and that is the infield.
