catch was made with his gloved hand, and after hard run. It was a beauty and the grandstands grew frantic. Mack got a hit and scored run among other accomplishments.
 Birmingham scribes were naturally watching closely this afternoon to get a line on Moley's young infie1ders be- ing tried in the outfield. O'Rourke showed up nicely, indeed He got three putouts, scored a run and walked once. Hie quickness in taking advantage of freak play is a good indication. De- spite the fact that he was as much surprised as anyone in the first when the hall hit his bat while he was try ing to dodge, 1t didn't take him more than 20 seconds to get up off the ground and streak it for first. He scored. too.
 Caton did not show so much, but made a good impression by his quick recovery. Wilcox in the first inning lifted a long fly to center. Caton got right under the ball but dropped 1t. His recovery, however. was quick enough to catch Bromwich at third on perfect peg to McDonald
 Neither of these youngsters may be retained in the gardens but with Car rol out for two weeks with bad finger they are as good as any float ing around. Anyway, they will be given thorough trial.
 Carroll Is not the only Baron on the hospital list. Cecil Coombs is suffer- ing from strained tendon in his right leg and can hardly walk. He is game ly sticking 1t out, however, and is get ting by extremely good. He bagged couple of bingles this afternoon and scored two runs. He also got two yes terday.
 They have a funny way of scoring in New Orleans and give the home team hits on everything possible. They scored Caton's huff of Viewers fly yesterday when there was no excuse for it. They also scored Stansbury's drive through Mcdonald as hit when it was clearly an error.
 It was stated in this correspondence that Derrick's poor throw to second cost Birmingham a run yesterday. It has developed that the umpires called a ba1k on Dicky Robertson and that Derrick was in no way to blame. Der rick is doing nicely and is making a very good impression.
 Moley is well satisfied with the trip so far. "If I can keep around the .50O mark up until June," he said, T will be entirely satisfied for then when you begin to win games they will count for something"
 It will be Black for Birmingham and Cavet for Mobile tomorrow. Moley is saving Johnson for the opening in New Orleans. -lv

The Barons in two days have gar nered IT safeties off the opposing pitchers, which Is not so bad fors team reputed to have the lightest or ganization with the willow in the league.
 Yesterday at New Orleans the Barons got but three runs out of 12 bingles and this afternoon pushed over eight counters on five stabs. The hits came when hits meant runs today and yesterday they didn't-which spelled defeat for the first and victory for the second.
 This is a boost for one Red" Smith, formerly of Nashville, but now receiv- ing the slants of Baron pitchers Red is there He is showing great Judg- ment in his handling of the beavers and his throws to the bases go liko rifle shots Red has a number of scalps hanging to his belt already and has nipped the kleptomaniaca1 inclinations of several of the opposition. He is des- tined to repeat frequently and any man in the Southern who thinks he will have an easy time going down to sec- ond is destined for a rude awakening
 The pitchers are fearful of Red and it is significant thing that when he strolls up to the plate swinging his war club the outfielders move back. This afternoon in four times up ho drew a walk and doubled. His double scored two runs also. Don't overlook that fact.
 Bill Lindsay. it must be remarked, continues in form. His bag for today was three putouts and seven assists without pebble. Birmingham fans will rejoice to see Lindsay throw to first. His arm has lost none of its pristine vigor. Bill is playing all over the field, taking all sorts of chances. This afternoon with Swacina on first in the sixth inning Wilcox stung 8 hot one between short and third. Lind say went away over and scooped up the ball with one hand. He was spun around by the impact and the pellet twisted out of his fingers, but he re- covered in time to get the Gull first sacker at second. Lindsay failed to get a hit today. but drew two walks in four trips to the plate.
 Holt Mcdowell. the Birmingham boy, is in strong with the Mobile fans, and so. He did some great work this afternoon and picked a foul from O'Rourke's bat off the fence. The

CHAIRMAN CLOVER CONFIDENT

MT. Glover Is confident that neat amount will be collected in order to purchase 8 valuable present for the former Baron. The funds collected at the present will be used only as a few outsiders have been asked to con- tribute as yet.
 T believe that if we get out and let the fans have chance to contribute to the fund, we will easily go over the amount we have designed to reach," said MT. Glover yesterday. "We have received fine support in our plans from in circulation and now feel sure that they will keep their promise and con- tribute generously to the fund.-
 The majority of the fans have the same opinion about the matter as have. That is, Ellam should be re- warded for his valuable services to Bir- mingham for the seven years that he was member of the team that wal managed by Carlton Molesworth. Ellam, as most every one knows, was field captain for the Barons for five years and during that time I think he was one of the best players on the team.
 "Ellam was liked by every one, and think that the fact that nearly every member of the Baron team of this season has contributed to the fund free of so- licitation proves this statement We would like to raise something over $150 to purchase a Masonic watch fob for Ellam. and believe that this amount can be raised if the fans give up the nrOpar CO-Onerat tiop

Contributions for the "Ellam Day" are coming in rather slowly, accord ing to Chairman c. E. Glover, but com mencing with tomorrow an active can vass will be begun to raise the neces- sary funds to purchase gift for Roy El1am, the former Baron and now manager of Nashville.
 The fund for "Ellam Day" at the present reaches $35. Collections have been somewhat slow for the past week owing to the fact that the committee did not deem 1t fit to hurry in SCOUT ing Birmingham for the funds MT. Glover, who is chairman of the com nittee, as two assistants, Sergeant Simmons and Desk Sergeant Donelson, both of the local police department.
 MT. Glover, together with Sergeant Simmons, will start the canvass of Birmingham tomorrow. An active can vass has not been put into operation as yet as fans who are in close touch with the committee have been the only ones to contribute as yet. The general public of Birmingham that attended the games at Redwood for the past seven years will be the ones that are asked to contribute.
