JORDAN HARMED ID
 EVANSVILLE CLUB
 IN CENTRAL LEAGUE

Manager Molesworth announced last night that Jordan. the young catcher secured by Birmingham from the Geor- gia State league, had been sold to the Evansville club in the Central league Molesworth believes that the young ster has the malzings of fine receiver in him and will keep a string on the boy. He needs ripening and when he has had couple of years experience Molesworth thinks that he will be ready for the Southern.
 Empires of the Southern league will gather in Birmingham on April 13 for a final conference with President Baugh. according to announcement yesterday from the office of the head of the Southern league. President Baugh will have a heart to- heart talk with his arbiters and will give them his views on what an umpire should and should not do. Incidentally, he will explain the new rules passed by the December and February league meet ings. The umpires will receive their assignments here and will go direct from Birmingham.
 While of course President Baugh is properly neutral as to which city in the southern league wins the cup he offers for the largest attendance on opening day, he is much interested in the contest that is being waged in the various cities. It is the opinion of the league executive that the opening this year will break all previous records.
 We have ideal conditions this year for baseball" said MT Baugh yester- day. land I look to see some records fall on opening day. From all reports every club in the Southern league Is stirring things up. Memphis writes that unusually large crowds are attending the exhibition games and that interest in baseball there is already at fe- yer heat. Little Rock, too, Is attract ing large crowds and all the cities, in fact, where exhibition games are being staged, report good crowds. Of course, Brmin gham's experience is well known. If Birmingham wishes to annex another cup she will have to hustle because all the other cities around the circuit are active"
