ADDITION OF GENE PAULETTE FATTENS
 CHICKS PROSPECTS
Infield Appears Strongest in League, Says Scribe. Hemingway Shifted to
 the Outfield

With the addition of Gene Paulette,
 the former Vol, to the ranks of the
 Memphis Chicks, Manager Dolly Stark is about ready for the start. In the
 acquisition of Paulette, Memphis se
 cured the best first baseman that has
 ever been produced in the Baugh cir
 cuit Paulette is a 300 hitter and han
 dies himself better around the initial
 sack than any other player seen in
 action.
 Although the pitching staff of the Chicks is still a bit weak and can stand a little strengthening, Stark has the team in good condition. Wlerd weather is playing havoc with the numerous exhibition games and with a small hospital list Stark is havinS difficult time at the present Other things of interest from the Chicks camp is told by Herbert Cald- well in the Memphis Commercial-Ap- peal.

.LOOKOUTS' VICTORY
 OVER THE GIANTS
 GIVES CONFIDENCE
Another High Priced Out fielder to Be Added to Roster-ShOwing En-
 cOurages Fans

Following the victory of the Lookouts over the New York Giants on Wednesday, fans in Chattanooga are again confident that another pennant winner will be pro- duced under the direction of President Andrews. The Lookouts who are picked by almost every sport scribe in the cir cult to finish in the celer, or slightly above, did spring a surprise when they scored a win over John McGraw's play CTS, but accidents will happen.
 The Lookouts cannot be considered pen nant contenders with the present ma terial unless something unexpected hap pens, which frequently occurs President Andrews after watching Kid" Fiber field do little pruning, has decided to take little part in activities, and has an- nounced that a high priced outfielder, better than either Baby Dolr' Jacobson or Pete Knisely would be added to the roster. His name however, was not dis closed.
 w. G. Foster. in the Chattanooga Times, summarizes the situation as follows:
 Although the deal is not yer ready to be announced, the papers are not signed President Andrews admitted last night that rumors of the Kids purchase of star outfielder were true.
 PAID LARGE PRICE
 .'We've paid the largest price for a ballplayer that we have risked since we bought Harry Coveleskie," said the presi- dent Furthermore, he's an outfielder who will rank as better man than either Baby Doll Jacobson or Pete Knsely. I am sure I couldn't say any thing more enthusiastic than that
 Due announcement of the name of the newest Lookout will be made in reW days When he arrives the locals would seem to be ready for the opening of the campaign, but still another deal is con- templated, so that it's hard to tell what will be the lineup the Chattanooga out field when the starter drops his flag on Friday next.
 Give us two hitting outfielders, or one star and we'll be one-two-three, was the comment heard after Wednesday game with the Giants. The new man. according to the club officials, is of a caliber to test the genuineness or this prophecy-a real star at the bat.
 When this athlete enters the fold, says Kid Elberfeld, the Lookouts will be a club that the manager will be proud to take into the campaign.
 LOOKOUTS LOOK GOOD
 The caliber of baseball played by the Lookouts Wednesday was the theme ot conversation all over the city yesterday. The victory over the Giants, chiefly be- cause of the manner in which the trick was accomplished, reused up the fans and swelled the opening crowd by several thousand, beyond a doubt.
 When you've got fast men pulling "stuff'' like the Lookouts do on offense, you have the other team guessing and nervous whether you can hit hard or not. Every time the Lookouts get man to

 In Cleveland they tell story of a boy who left school to work for small man. ufacturer. The boy was dull and his stupidity annoyed his employer greatly So, after a weeks trial, he was dis charged.

 It was, therefore with great surprise that the manufacturer saw the boy al work in his former place on Monday morning.

third with less than two out this sum- mer, the opposing defense will be all nervous and "fussed up." They'll be ex- pecting the squeeze and yet conscious that if they play up close they are likely to get stung with a pop-fly single like Fletcher of the Giants, did Wednesday, or some shrewd trick of the crafty Kid and his equally crafty associates.
 The Kid doesn't bunt all or even a ma jority, of his plays Far from it. The pitcher is not the only man who is liable to handle that ball when the Lookouts put on the squeeze. The vast majority of the suueezes are tapped down to the in- field. They are of the burning bridges sort, the player dashing off third base so that all the batter has to do to make them good is to get the ball away from the plate on the ground It's cinch score when the ball is hit on the ground, and the Kid argues that it's much easier to tap them down than to bunt them, espe- cially if the offering is little low or vpi6a

Outfielder John Singleton was sold yes- terday to Charlotte, in the Carolina league. by the Birmingham Baseball as Manager Carlton Molesworth, who thinks that with another year of experience Singleton will be ready for Southern league ball. Singleton Is the second Baron outfielder to be sent to Charlotte in the past week, Red Harris having been sold in the earlier part of the week.
 Provided the rain continues, the game this afternoon with Birmingham college at Redwood Field will be postponed. Moley stated last night that the field was in a soggy condition late yesterday afternoon, but provided no more rain fell during the night or this morning, the game would be played as scheduled. The game will start at 8 o'clock with Harry Stratford umpiring.
 The Barons spent yesterday in idleness, the grounds being too wet for practice. Moley took his squad out to Redwood yesterday morning, but found everything soaked and consequently called off prac- tice for the day. A day of rest will hardly give the squad, which is in fine condition at the present, serious set back. Recently a few days of rain and cold weather hindered Baron practice so that the entire fiinging corps, with the exception of Karl Black, was suffering from sore wing. Black is the only hurler in the game who has the reputa- tion of never having sore arm.

 Moley was undecided as to who would work today. The entire regular f1inging staff from last season has been show

ELLAM HERE MAY 8

It is planned to present the gift to Ellam on his initial appearance in Birmingham as manager of the Nash vile baseball team This will be on May when the Vols come to Bir- mingham to open four game series with the Barons. The idea to pre- sent Ellam with token of esteem originated with MT. Glover about two or three months ago and since that time he has been working to secure the cooperation of the fans in the Magic City, Ensley and Bessemer.
 Ellam during his stay in Birming- ham worked his way into the heart of all the fans by his playing. He worked hard all the time and although he was disliked by some of the fans at the beginning of his career in Bir- mingham, before he left he was the universal choice of all. Ellam's popu- larity with the fans is shown by hls winning the trophy offered to the most valuable Baron in 1914. Ellam won the trophy by safe lead by popular vote.

FANS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE

q think that most of the fans ap- preciate what Ellam did for Birming- ham and will show their appreciation by contributing to the campaign. FL lam was one of the best players in the league and in my opinion still holds that honor. He was certainly valuable man with the Barons He played for sewn years at short for Moley and rendered yoeman service
 Every ball player that ever came in contact with Ellam expressed the universal feeling about him. He is fine fellow. We have the big fellows behind the campaign and have the in- dorsement of President Baugh of the Southern league, President Smith of the local club and Manager Molesworth, as well as all of the prominent fans 1 hope that everybody will get behind the gun and make Ellam day suc- cessful. The fans can do so by con- tributing some amount, no matter how small, to the campaign

WILL BE RENDERED.

Actove canvass to secure funds TOT "Ellam day" was started yesterday aft ernoon. Although wonderful success was not met with by the solicitors the general response was good. Slightly over $2O was secured yesterday from almost as many people.
 The campaign to secure the funds to purchase a present for Roy Ellam, the former Baron, will be inaugurated to- day The three solicitors, c. E. Glover, who is father" of the idea; Jimmy Doneison and D. c. Simmons, will make an active canvass of the office build ings and downtown offices
 "The response to our appeal to se- cure Ellam a gift was liberal" said MT Glover last night. "We didn't tackle many of the citizens, but those that we did ask were quite liberal. This seems to be a good indication to me. Today we will start out to SCOUT Birmingham. We will touch ev- cry part and try and gather enough money to purchase valuable gift for El1o,,
