Bdrons Will Start Spring
 Training Season Tomorro7v

Few improvements were necessary, but these were completed last wek. The entire group of battery men will be expected to be 'r "i~min gham by Friday. This will increase the num- Der to almost 20, who will be under the instructions of Moley The entire vet eran pitching staff Of last season will be back. which includes Robertson, Grimes, Black Johnson and Perry
 man. Three of these are already in town ready for work, while Black is sometime today. Perryman is also eX- I pected. Three catchers, Hauser, Jor-
 dan and Red Smith, will also arrive i by Friday, while two recruit receivers | are expected. | The practice will start in earnest on Friday, when the entire battery candi- dates arrive. The entire roster will be
 completed by Tuesdays arrival, which i will bring in infielders and outfielders. l The number of Barons in camp then will be oyer the 30 mark.
 l Although several Barons still remain 1 to sign their 1916 contracts, Moley does not expect any serious trouble. Trans 1 portation was mailed to every member
 of the Baron roster on Monday, whether
 he had signed or not. What few that
 are still out of the fold Moley ex- poets to have them agree to terms after l their arrival
 But one other team in the league is now at training, that being New Or leans. Cold weather will mot stop the
 plans of Moley, and nothing but rain can force the Baron chieftain to delay
 action in starting the preparation for
 the 1916 season, which starts on l April IA.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-03-08

The training season of the BarOnS will start tomorrow morning at Rick wood field, when Manager Molesworth will assemble what members of the 1916 roster in the city for brief work out. The battery men are scheduled to report on Friday. but owing to the fact that several players are already in town and being over anxious to start the season, Moley decided to start the training a day ahead of time.
 Moley stated yesterday that he had been thinking of starting the practice tomorrow for the past week. Several of the players already in town are anX- ious to get down to work and get into condition as soon as possible. The ideal weather for the past few days has prompted Moley in his decision.
 About 15 players will officially open the 1916 season when they assemble at Redwood at 10 o'clock. Five of the veterans are in BirnIng gham, and sev- eral more are expected to arrive today or tonight, This number will be ma- terially increased by the large number of rockies from the sand lots of the Birmingham distrst that will be given la chance to display their wares by the Baron chieftain
 The cage for battery practice has been set up and everything is i nreadi- ness for the opening of practice sea- son. The field is in fine condition, Moley, having supervised the work on the grounds for the past few weeks.

TRACK ATHLETES
 RECEIVE WORKOUT
 AT CENTRAL HIGH
After Fifteen Athletes Report for Track Practice Under Coach Pritch ard-Only One Veterans of Last
 Years Team Returns

Coach Pritchard held the second work out for track candidates at Central High school yesterday afternoon in East park. Over b youngsters responded to the call. among which there is but one veteran.
 Men for the dashes and long distance runs are plentiful but the few candi- dates for the weights will give Coach Pritchard his only worry. Goodall is the best man on the team. being veteran with plenty of experience. He is espe- cially good on the 1Oo-yard dash, shot put and discus throw
 Joyce Levvy, is another promising can didate for the short dashes Fred Sloss and Proctor. two products of the gram mar schools, are also picked to win a place on the team. Roberts is the best miller Coach Pritchard has in line, while Reeves is good on the half-mle. There are other promising men on the list, but Coach Pritehard faces serious propos- tion in developing strong track team from the material he has on hand.
 Baseball practice will be held today at Tidewater park Coach Pritchard is eX- pecting about 5O candidates to report. A captain for both the track and baseball teams will probably be elected this week.

D|VtI nIVNTFT!S IN POOR SHAPE: FOR
 CAME TOMORROW
Coach Brummage Expecting Hard Game-Athletic Club in Need of a Center.
 Y. M. c. A. Quiet

Final practice will be held tonight by the Birmingham Athletic club and the Young Mems Christian association bas- ketball teams in preparation for the first game of the city championship series to- morrow night at the latter's gymnasium The game will start at S:3O o'clock.
 Although interest in the series has been somewhat lacking during the past week on account of the injury of Captain Brooks of the "" five, Coach Brum- mage of the Athletic club stated last from the 'Y'' with Brooks out of the game.
 Although it is true that the Young Mems Christian association lost their stan player in Brooks, who is one of the best players in the south today, l expect them to give us a closer game than if Brooks was to be in the lineup said Coach Brummage. The Young Mems Christian association fellows, l think, see that they must fight harder with Brooks out of the game in order to win and l fully believe that the game will be closer and better.
 Brooks, it will be recalled, suffered a sprained ankle in the game with the Uni versity of Alabama quintet about week ago. It is practically impossible fof Brooks to play tomorrow. He has not reI ported to practice since receiving the injury and Coach Mitchell has been drill1 ing a new man to fill the vacancy. Ed wards or Stapleton will probably be useo in the veterans place.
 Greenwood and Estes have been used at guard exclusively for the 'ast few games and it is generally expected that they will start tomorrow game Fauncel who played guard in practically all of the earlier games of the season, may be useo at forward. bowman or Moore will bo the center while Durham will be at the opposite forward. The team will be ex ceedingly light and Coach Mitchell is rel lying upon team work and the fight of the five to capture the honors
 Over at the B. A. c Coach Brummag ga is having his troubles also With the rel tirement of Gordon Robertson, the cen} ter, from the game. the problem of dei veloping new center within short timf has confronted him. Luther Strange. { veteran of many season, has been ou for the past few days. but has failed t,I play up to old time form. Baker and Fowler, two recruits, are also being tried out at center.
 Robertson, although not ; a star perl former. was consistent player and 4 great .passer The team work has been greatly jolted by Robertsons departure and many followers have serious doubts whether it will be repaired sufficiently td score a victory over the "Y'in the ini tial game tomorrow.

FOR SPRING WEDDINGS.
One Attractive Way to
Give the Bride a Shower.

With spring already upon us. the
thought Of spring weddings is now
In the air. This is the ripe season for
linen showers and other showers of
household necessaries given to the
bride by all her friends. The girl who
Is to be married in April will be the
recipient of many an entertainment
before she is safely welded, but she
VIII enjoy nothing more than a shower
II her friends have any novel ideas on
the subject.
The chief point in q shower must al
ways be its surprise; otherwise it
would not be a shower. If you are
thinking Of giving such an affair for
some friend who is soon to be married
be sure that every detail is kept a Sc
cret from her. That is half the fun.
A novel idea for linen shower can
be executed in the following way: In
v1te the bride to be to spend an even
ing at your home with a few old
friends. See that she arrives the first
and is comfortably seated and chat
ting when the other guests begin to
arrive. Of course the latter are in the Sc
cret or else there would be no shower
Each guest must come in carrying an
umbrella. The bride may not. notice
the first one, but she will certainly re-
mark before long that every one who
enters carries an umbrella. She will
probably ask before the last one ar
rives If it is raining, in which case the
guest questioned should answer, mo.
but 1t looks like a shower"
When all the guests have arrived
each one must gain possession Of her
own umbrella in case it has been laid
aside on her entrance. At a given
signal, which should he some such re-
mark from the hostess as Did you say
1t looked like a showerT' the guests
should all open their umbrellas with
the answer, at certainly does"
From the steel ribs of each umbrella
should be suspended by a string the
parcel holding the piece of linen which
the guest intends to give the bride.
Any big bundles, like q tablecloth, will
make the umbrella bit bulky when
closed, but in such case the guest
will have to smuggle her umbrella in
unnoticed. But most linen pieces can
be done up in such small parcels that
they can easily he concealed in a closed
umbrella.
At the signal to open the parcels will
all hang down by their strings. The
guests must then hold their umbrellas
over the bride-tO-be's head. The host
ess provides her with scissors to cut
down her various bundles, and the
point of the shower is made apparent

Beluian Konqo,

Belgian Kongo. founded thirty years
ago, Is still In the early stage Of devel-
opment. So far practically no manu-
featuring industries have yet been es-
tablished, and, aside from the impor-
tant copper mines in the Katanga dis
trict, the only large Industrial enter
prises are the railways and river trans
portation services. 1t may be said that
all business activities in the colony are
devoted to the collection Of tropical
products - rubber, ivory, gum copal,
palm oil and kernels, cacao. etc.-and
the railway and river services are in
reality only accessories to these activi-
ties, having been established primarily
to aid In the transportation Of these
products to the seaports. The gather
ing Of rubber in Kongo has never re-
covered its former activity, and In all
probability will never again be so rich
a source Of income to the colony as it
was previous to 1912.

Shin Money.

Charles 1. was badly in need Of mon
ey, and his attorney general IN the
course Of his antiquarian researches
discovered that in the dim ages Of the
past the crown had issued writs to the
cities and towns on the coast requiring
them to provide vessels for the royal
needs, and he suggested that this an
cient right might be brought into use
again. Instead Of the actual vessels a
money contribution might be exacted
instead. Thus the king would be able
to tax larger part Of the realm while
theoretically observing the laws. Writs
for ship money were accordingly is
sued, but the patriot John Hampden
declared that they were illegal and
raised such a protest against them
that they were practically nullihed.
