With an excellent day for baseball the Barons, Manager Molesworth, President Smith and almost 100 fans and a few sport scribes, waited in vain at Rick wood Field yesterday afternoon for the team from the Keewatin academy of K Keewatin Wis. to arrive and meet the Barons as scheduled. No word was re- ceived from the Keewatin team or au- thorities and just what prevented the team from coming to Birmingham is still a mystery.
 The game with the collegians was booked in the earlier part of the year. Two games were supposed to be played, one yesterday and one today. Provided that the college chaps arrive. the game will be played today at Redwood Field as scheduled at o'clock Moley or Boss Smith hold out no hope for the arrival of the team and consequently plans will not be made for any game today. If the team arrives, however, the game will be played.
 The fact that Keewatin academy did not arrive to give the Barons some prac- tice did not break off training for the day Moey had the squad out at the park as usual in the morning and the entire squad went through the routine training In the afternon, Moley divided his squad into two teams and a practice tilt was held between the yannigans and the regulars.
 REGULARS WIN EASILY
 With Dick Robinson, Elmer Ponder and Burleigh Grimes on the mound for the regulars. the yannigans were able to score but once. while the regulars, with Fred Miller, Edney and Johnson on the mound for the yannigans, scored six runs. The regulars played a strong game, hit ting well, especially the infield

INFIELD STRONG LETTERS

BalSOm will again guard the lnltlal sack, with Captain Baker on second. Both of these youngsters are good hit ters and very seldom take bad day in the field. On short, Levvy will prob ably appear again, although his play ing has gradually been decreasing in the past few games His hitting and fielding was below par in the Ensley game, but Coach Pritchard is confident that the youngster will come around all right with another trial.
 Berkowitz, the old reliable, will play the hot corner. 'Berk' is about as sure a fielder as can be found, and is there when it comes to hitting. Hardly a game ever passes without "Berk' con tributing a safety or two. In the out. field Lassiter will appear in left. Las sitter has been playing slightly below form also for the past few games, but the slump is considered only tempo rary. He bats in "clean-up' position. and usually upholds the dignity of that place in the batting order. Harrell or Reeves will guard center unless Rox is given another chance. In right, Wat kins will be played. Although slightly weak with the bat. he is fast and sure fielder, something out of the ordinary on a high school team.

BIBB HAS GOOD TEAM

Bibb has strong team and Central will have hard time in defeating them. They have not lost series this season, and it would not be sur nrising to see a defeat dealt out to the locals provided they play no better than they did in Mondays fracas. Fitch or Thompson will work for Coach Camp bell. while Eddings will catch their offerings. tff
 Efforts are being made to have a large crowd attend the game. Admis- sion will only be 10 cents. Coach Pritch- ard trying reduction in the price as a drawing card. The game will be one of the best on Centrals schedule this season The umpire has not been named. The Bibb county team will probably arrive this morning, and will play two ether games while in Bir- mingham.

.LOOKOUTS MAKING EFFORT ID CAPTURE
 ATTENDANCE DUP
LookOuts Won First Cup Offered-Preparing to Repeat Initial Per
 fOrmance

Birmingham will certainly encounter some opposition this year in winning that attendance trophy. Strong resistance was expected from Atlanta, New Orleans and Memphis, but Chattanooga, Nashville and Little Rock were not looked upon as dan gerous contenders. The following from the Chattanooga Times shows that some crowd will see the Lookouts open the season:
 Back in the new" days of baseball in Chattanooga, in 1911, to be exact, Chatta- nooga started something in the way of league. The Lookout City has never been able to figure in the cup competition since that time, but other cities have gotten all sgitated over the matter each spring. In short, Chattanooga started something she couldn't stop.
 Everyone hereabouts knows the story of the origin of the annual cup for the city that has the largest attendance on open ing day. Back in the spring of 1911 Billy Smith had a team here that cost $l6,S00. Everybody thought it sure pennant win ner and the town was baseball crazy that spring.
 Some one circulated a report that Presi- dent Kavanaugh had offered a cup to the city with the biggest opening day crowd. Nobody knows just where the idea began, as President Kavanaugh had made no such offer. Chattanooga buZZed along with the prize of the cup in view, how ever, and on opening day triumphantly captured a purely imaginary trophy with an attendance close to 1000 souls.

VOLGER KEEPS TITLE

In the 115-pound class, Ben Volger of New York upheld last years title when he defeated Tony Vatland of Boston, The boys were so evenly matched after three rounds of boxing that a fourth round was necessary for a decision. A Canadian attempt to take another title across the border was frustrated by Willie Norris of New York, whose
 short jabs and right hand punches de- feated Dave Brown of Toronto in the finals of the 125-pound class. Long range punches and ability to keep out of the way gave Thomas Mur- phy of Kansas City, Mo, a decision over Johnny Marto of Boston in the 135- pound finals
 125-pound class: William Morris, New York. defeated Dave Brown, Toronto. 135-pound class: Tom Murphy, Kan sas City, Mo-, defeated John Marto, Boston.
 145-pound class: Eugene Brosseau, Montreal, defeated M. stark, New York. 15S- pound class: Adolph Kaufman, Brooklyn, defeated Joseph Landrieu, New Orleans

GULLS RECEIVE:
 FIRST STRENUOUS
 PRACTICE OF YEAR
Manager Schmidt Drives Team Through Practice Game-TOwnsend Deal
 Blocked by Frank

Charley Schmidt drove his Mobile Guils through the first real practice of the sea- son recently and was thoroughly satisfied with the results according to the Mobile Item The players worked through the game full of pep and playing the game as though it was a regulation affair
 The Gulls are gradually adding strength and before long they will not be com- monly heralded as the soft spot of the Southern league. At the present time the Gulls are seriously handicapped by the lack of funds and consequently missing all of the good players Schmidt has re- leased several of the players that played with the Guls last season and the team will look like a new piece of furniture when he gets through making additions and subtractions.
 The deal to get Lefty Townsend out of this league on account of demanding a high salary was blocked on account of the failure of Charley Frank to waive on him after every other manager had. What action the Mobile officials will now take remains another point of interest to fans over the entire circuit.

Boston, April 4.-Heavyweight hon. ors in the national amateur boxing championships came to this city last night when Carlo Armstrong, weighing only 161 pounds, received the decision over George Hook of Pittsburg, a 200- pounder, in the finals of the heavy weight class.
 In the 175-pound class, Patrick Me Carthy, also of this city, slugged his way to a victory over Charles Shons, another Pittsburg boxer.
 The 145pound championship went across the border when Eugene Bros- seau of Montreal, whom the judges re- garded as one of the best boxers of the tournament, outpointed M. Stark of New York in a fast bout.
 Adolph Kaufman of Brooklyn re- tained his title as 15S-pound champion by getting the decision over Joseph Landrieu of New Orleans. The south erner carried the fight to the last bell and the award was disputed by some of the spectatOrS

CARROLL ON REGULARS

Charlie Carroll was played in right held with the regulars and made good lm- preSsion. Werner was in center With Coombs in left. Arthur Hartle was i'll left for the yanngans, Singleton in cen
 and Johnson in right. Caton was on short, Clyde McBllde the former Baron who is working out at Redwood prior to his departure to Springfield, played sec ond while Clare was on first. Tex O'Rouke was stationed at the hot corner Red Smith worked for the yannigans, while Hauser worked for the regulars
 The Barons showed much better yester- day than they did against the Giants on Tuesday Moley is not discouraged over the showing made to date, and is conf1- dent that the team will turn out all right Not a sore arm is present in the camp at the present time.
 Moley announced yesterday that Red Harris, the former Auburn gridiron and baseball star, has been sent to Char lotte in the Carolina league for the com ing season. Strings are attached, as Moley believes in Harris he has a com ing star. The deal was made several dags ago, but was not announced by Moley until yesterday afternoon Other deals are expected to be announced soon.

 his action yesterday in making the
 predicted change shows that the Bar

 will line up as follows: Mcdonald,
 third base; Lindsay, shortstop; Clark,
 second base; Derrick, first base.
 Both Caton and O'Rouke were played on the yannigans. It is expected that both of these youngsters will be sent to a lower circuit within the next few days as both are considered too inexperienced for Class A ball at the present. The lh- field worked fine yesterday, although seV- eral infield taps were beat out owing to the failure of the players to risk their arms in making hard throw. Mcdonald and Lindsay slugged the ball hard, as did Derrick, while Danny Clark seems to have trouble in locating the pill.

LOOKOUTS WON FIRST

The late lamented league executive was game He saw the people expected to see a trophy awarded, so he never said a word about the whole agitation being based on somebody's imagination; he went right along. bought a cup and two months later presented it to Chattanooga with all the fanfare and trumpeting of a great triumph.
 Since that time public outcry has forced the league president to renew the offer of the cup each spring-and each year Allan ta and Birmingham have ragged and tore a each other until their fans have got all worked up. The result has been mobs of 10000 to 12,000 which the smaller cities of the league cannot touch.
 New Orleans, with the added enthusi- asm brought by a pennant winner last year and Memphis, who smashed an att tendance record or two with Bris Lord s contending team have joined the two other cities in a merry four-cornered wrangle for the cup. Some of 'em are even predicting s large an attendance as K 000 for a first game

FIRST REAL WORKOUT

The extraction from the Mobile Item follows:
 Tn the first real Yannigan- egular game of the year for Charley Schmidt S Gulls the Vans won victory yesterday afternoon, score 8 to 1, in five innings ot play.
 Gene Moore and Manager Schmidt formed the battery for the Yannigans and with the Texas southpaw putting some thing on the ball, the Regulars were given a tough battle. Joe Wiley pitched for the Regulars and though he worked in fairly good style, the Yannigans got to him for enough hits to round out three runs
 The players hustled through the game as if it was a regulation league contest It marked the first hard work of the sea- son, Manager Schmidt issuing orders for all men ito hit the dirt when neces- sary, run everything out and fight as if they were in regular ball game.
 Mig" Clark, who looks to have the job as second catcher cinched. arrived in the Gull camp Monday. He did not participate in the game. He is in good shape however, and ready to work. He has been training with the Memphis Chicks. His home is in Memphis.
