EDDIE M'DONALD WOULD RETURN ID
 SOUTHERN CLINE
Former Baron Is Free Agent-Hints That He Would Like to Play
 With Birmingham

Eddie Mcdonald, one time star third sacker for the Barons, and last season with Atlanta, writes that he IS anxious to come back south to play and hints that he would like very much to again be under the flag of Birmingham. Eddie is a free agent and states that although he has received several offers, he will wait awhile.
 Eddie is one of the most popular play CTS that ever donned a Baron uniform and during the time that he played here, he was considered the best third sacker in the league. Manager Molesworth will arrive soon and it is hoped that he will take the hint and bring Eddie back to help capture the flag for the Barons in 1916.
 Mcdonald is a good ball player and he is far from through. He is a good, hard hitter, strong at the bunting game and one of the hardest men in the league for a pitcher to work against. He is an eX- cellent judge of balls and strikes and swings from either side of the plate with practically equal effectiveness. Further more he is d good, heady baserunner and keeps the opposing pitcher guessing as long as he is on the paths. Eddie al ways draws a nice salary for his serv- ices, but he's worth it. Baron fans would be glad to see Eddie back at the third station gobbling them up in old-time form.
 Eddies letter to a member of The Age Herald staff is as follows:
 Albany. N. Y., January 25, 1916.
 q think it's about time 1 said 'helloo' to you. Started several times after holi- days to write but just then our skating season started and as l am a bug for ice skating was out day and night. It seems this year everybody has taken to it more than ever, and it puts one in great oondi- ton.
 We had our share of snow, too: had several storms and every one was big storm; expect big, high water this spring.
 Was awful sorry to hear of Mir. Strad- ford's' death. It sure is hard after a man has gone through life to his age and then be taken so quickly. Suppose the weather in Birmingham is like spring now; would ask nothing better than to be there. l like that city very much Everything up this way is very quiet since Feds and Q.

The series of 10 articles on the dog, all breeds. it's diseases and illustrated with almost 100 double-column pictures of champions, will start two weeks from to- day, Sunday, February 1S.
 It is an undertaking tha: has required many weeks to put into first-class, read able shape and much correspondence with high-class kennels to get photos of champions. It is the aim of the author of this series, John c. Moses, to have every detail as near correct as possible; to give the public the inside workings of the dog world, and it's big world, too, sur rounded with nothing less than the foui points of the compass-north, south, east and west.
 MT. Moses was very enthusiastic the past week, as the time is near at hand te turn the dog gone' series loose. and in a jocular vein said:

And because some of the lovers of the dog might happen to drop into New York city, and want to see how things are done according to Hoyle in the realm of dogdom, I will describe a first-class dog hotel' where the bellboy gives them ice water: where they have meals served in their rooms; where either transient ol permanent boarders are accommodated and where their harness or collars Qf studded with precious stones, as many are) can be locked up in the office safe at night.

 There are 100, 100000 in free America and as four human beings out of every five are more or less lovers of the canine family, this makes S0,OOO,000 people who keep up with the noble animal in one breed or another; therefore, there are just 80, coo 900 different ideas on which is the

been numerous during the past two | weeks and fans were beginning to be- come curious as to when Moley would arrive. It was announced at President Smiths office yesterday that the ar
 rival of Moley would not be far off and although Moley may not arrive on
 exactly February 3. the idol of the fans
 will appear for work at the local s headquarters somewhere in the region
 of that date.
 The coming of Moley will start in terest of the national game in Blr-
 mingham. Naturally. when the boss
 is on the job, things are somewhat more interesting. And this is the case with the local fans.
 Just what players Moley has in mind for the coming season to fill the gaps caused by sales and promotions will then be given to the fans. And then, too, Moley will have grab at the waivers list, which is larger this sea son than ever before.
 Everybody will welcome the leader and fans will now prepare to receive some news concerning the Barons' out look.
