 Psuring Into Camp

Manage Molesworth took advantage of the wtrm weather yesterday anu the spring practice of the Barons re- suited in very member of the rosteT receiving i, good workout. The camp was materially increased by the ar- rival of othsr Barons and over 25fcan- didates swarmed Rickwood Fie5d for both morning and afternoon ,ysurko outs
 Moley did not don his wfiform, but directed the activities from the side lines. Batting practice, fielding and the pitchers warpfng up constituted the bulk of the days practice. Players that reported for practice on Thursday had the jump on the players that drift ed in yesterday and as result had the better of the argument.
 Among the players that drifted into the camp yesterday were "Preacher, Perryman, pitcher; "Red' Smith, catch CT; Cleare, catcher Jordan, catcher; Cecil Coombs, outfielder; Burleigh Grimes, pitcher. Players that were all ready in camp are Danny Clark, in fielder; Arthur Johnson, pitcher; Karl Black, pitcher; Fred Miller, pitcher; Dick Robertson, pitcher Schwartz, in-
 
 rockies doubled this number and the field was so thiclxly populated that it was necessary to withdraw some of the ambitious youths off the field and let the recruits and veterans receive the practice. Fifteen players were in uniform.
 BATTING CAGE USED
 The batting cage was installed dur ing the afternoon. Each of the six TD1., Al.- Is minutes on the mound tossing the ball over for the regulars to train their eye on. The crack of the bat was familiar but the old pill was never rapped with any consistency by any of the players. None of the hur1ers at tached any juice" to the pill and Moley was especially careful to keep his most promising players from re- ceiving a sore arm from carelessness.
 The batting practice displayed no star slugger as yet. Danny Clark be- gan to get the range of the right field fence yesterday and showed that he still possessed the ability to slap the pill to all corners of the lot. Cecil Coombs also hit well, while several of the pitchers managed to connect frequently for a good drive.
 In fielding practice the players still show the effects of the long winter Of id1eness. They were slow and pebbles were very frequent. This, however, IS nothing unfrequent in training season. Clark appeared we'll in form, as did Coombs and King, recruit shortstop.
 CATCHERS ARRIVE
 Three of the Baron catchers arrived and were at the park all day, but did not get into uniform. Perryman did not report to the park, spending the day hunting for suitable place to reside during his stay here this sum mer Both Jordan and Cleare appeared to be promising players. Red Smith needs no explanation having served for Nashville last year in great style. Miller looked good on the mound, be- ing a rangy fellow with an easy de- livery. Other players showed good form also.
 The entire Baron hurling corps from last year is now on the scene. Moley will start this morning in rounding them into pitching form and by time the remainder of the roster reports on Tuesday expects to have them in good form. Infielders and outfielders that attended the practice today should also be in good form by Tuesday. Moley was we'll pleased with the show ing the players made yesterday. He was on the job all day and as the re- suit has a line on the majority of the players.
 Practice will be held this morning at 10 o'clock until 12 and from o'clock in the afternoon until 4 o'clock More players are expected in today, while the entire Baron roster will be in camp by Wednesday,. With ideal weather today, Moley is confident that every member of the camp will be in good condition. Dixie Walker was at the park practicing with the Barons yesterday before reporting to the American association in the next few days. The squad will not be cut until about next Saturday.
