 Emphasis is laid in the 24 affidavits filed in federal court nere, on the ale gation that, though the Federal league considered it's rivals as forming d trust and expressing" players, some of it's most prominent members appeared will ing to ally themselves with organized baseball.

 Charles A. Comiskey, giving his his- tory a ball player, declares he never broke a contract. and never objected to the 10-day clause in any contract he had signed. He complains of the effect Federal bidding had on the minds of players.

GriSt Of the Winter League

After sojourning in obscurty for several days due to the highly sensi- tized professional jealousy of the cen sor we resume the arduous labor of enlightening the dear public through the medium of this column Hundreds of letters from sincere admirers re- questing that the ban be lifted and that we come forth with merry quips as of yore caused the censor to relent and instruct us ito start something" We always obey our superiors. Thusly:
 Carleton Molesworth is back on the job. The boss man of the Barons ar- rived yesterday morning and at once got to work. His first official act was to open the morning mail and handle the crisp signed contract of Danny Clark, a recruit infleder. Moley was pleased as the diminutive Danny is slated to fill the shoes of "Lil' Mar can, who will pastime in other parts the coming season. However. one signed contract does not bring whole team to terms and Molesworth con firmed the report yesterday afternoon that several of the Barons were hold ing back and apparently reluctant to sign at the reduced salary.
 Birmingham is the best baseball town in the south and quite possibly in the country. The team is owned by Rick Woodward, one of the cleanest cut sportsman in the game, and gen. tleman who is extremely liberal with his players. To play with the Bar ons should be considered a privilege by the crass bush leagues who have never been out of the sticks in their lives and President Baugh should em- phasz that point on the obstreperous ones.
 The coming season the manage ment of the Barons has arranged a training trip to Orlando, Fla. This has never been done before by Southern league team. It will be done by the Barons because of the liberality of the owner. But is this appreciated by the pastimers? Not quite
 These graduates of the sand lots and village common have formed the habit of gouging Mr. Woodward for as much as that amiable gentleman will stand ev- cry springtime. And despite the all lurements of the Florida training trip in few weeks several of ha- bitually disgruntled players gre kicking against a cut in salary. The Baronial management should get rid of these contract bakers and sign some players whose head still fits in stiff hat. A management as liberal and as fair as the Barons have should be able without undue diffi- culty to get a team of clever, and, what is more important. satisfied players.
 Between rapacious ball players and the pirate Federal league the National game is going to the eternal bow VOWS.

 Without ostentation and a certain dignity, the Liberal Bill'' fostered In the house by Dr. E. P. Hogan and in the senate by Thomas J. Judge passed both branches of the state legislature yesterday afternoon by an overwhelm- ing majority. After engrossment the bill goes. to Governor George B. Ward for his official sanction. It is under stood that Governor Ward will sign the measure which immediately be- comes a law.
 The Liberal Bill'' is a peoples meas ure. It is a law to bring the greatest amount of personal freedom in the pursuit of happiness ever conceived by statesmen. In other words, 1t is the first popular bill that has passed the Alabama legislature since that in- stitution was inflicted on an other wise harmless state. Its main bid for popular approval is that it permits many things formerly under the ban. A partial review follows:
 It permits Sunday baseball and mov- ing pictures, also all other forms of theatrical amusement. It permits box ing. but forbids wrestling, and kindred brutal sports It permits horse racing It permits the sale of all liquors con- taining not more than 99 per cent ale cohol.
 The enactment of such radical measure was not due to any progress siveness on the part of Dr. Hogan or Mr. Judge, but to the impressive ma jority the bill received at the refer endum a few months ago. The mem- bers of the Jefferson county delega- tion realized what the public wanted and gave it to them.
 Alabama will now settle down to . period of prosperity.
