der worthy of a thorough trial and the regulars will rave a swift fight to re- tain their gerths.
 The game .oday should see every
 Baron on the field with the exception of Emil Meusel, the New York State league recruit outfelder who is hold ing out for a larger salary No word has been heard from Meusel recently and local officials are of the opinion that he has started southward with the intention of reporting to Birmingham and looking the situation over before he finally refuses to sign. Moley has extreme patience and will give the re- cruit every opportunity to place his signature on a 1916 Baron contract. If he fails to come into the fold within the next two weeks he will be suspended and fined s1O0, which means that he must report and play with Birming- ham or quit the game for good TO USE ENTIRE ROSTER In the game today Moley will use practically all of his regulars and the greater part of the recruits. The local rockies will hardly be given a chance. Moley had not decided last night who he would have on the mound, but the chances are that the entire staff will be given a chance. The following is the probable lineup to start the game:
 smith, catcher; Derrick, first base Clark, second base: s-aton, shortstsp; Lindsay, third base; Coombs. Hartle and Singleton, outfielders.
 The game is already considered as won by the Barohs, but that is not the object Moley gets exhibition games, not to make money for the club, but to round the team into form. Players usually try harder and play better when a game is really being played. A work out will be held this morning as usual. while brief workout will precede the game this afternoon As the Barons have but very few exhibition games this season, fans had better take the opportunity to see the Barons in ac- ton before the opening of the season. Carroll, Mcdonald. Hauser and O'Rouke are expected in this morning, complet- ing the roster with the exception of Meusel

BASEBALL PLAYERS FAVOR PLANS ID INCREASE DEFENSE Players Fraternity Believes in Strengthening the
 National Defense

New York, March 19.-Telegrams re- ceived by the National Security league in response to inquiries addressed to prominent members of the Baseball Fraternity throughout the country in- dicate that all favor the movement for national defense, 1t was announced by officials of the Security league here tonight. 7
 Bill Donovan. manager of the New York Americans, said the Yankees were not only in favor of a larger army and navy, but that they believed in coms pulsory military service for one year of all youths attaining their majority. They also are for a federalized militia Donovan added. $
 H. c. Carrigan, manager of the Bos- ton Americans, sent this message: "Wo believe in preparations as far as trains ing is concerned. That's why we arc at the springs" $
 The Cincinnati club, which, according to Manager Charles L. Herzog, is ''com- posed of men of Irish, English, Scotch. Welsh, German and Italian descent" is unanimous in the belief that the United States should so arm itselr that no other nation will venture to insult, bully or attack it.'
 Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Americans telegraphed: Every citizen is a trustee of the blessings of lib- erty handed us by our forefathers. It is our highest duty to hand them in- tact to the next generation. Only an adequate military defense can be our safeguard"
 Other messages were from Clark Griffith of the Washington team, John McGraw of the New York Giants, Joe Ts.,1~ > .I-. Patrick J. Moran of the Philadelphia Nationals

The second of the series of wrestling matches under the direction of the Bir- mingham Athletic club will be staged tonight in the gymnasium of the club between Tom Draak, champion of Bel gium, and Ande- Kandrat champion of Lithuania. Immediately preceding the main bout, two preliminaries and bat tie royal will be held.
 The match tonight should prove a better entertainer than the one on last Monday, which was one of the best staged under the auspices of the local club. Draak defeater Farmer" Bayley last Monday in a match that was fea- tured by the fast work of the winner. Draak showed remarkable speed and was especially good on breaking holds.
 Draak has one of the most peculiar ways of breaking certain holds that has ever been in Birmingham Provided he is laying on the mat and the weight of his opponent is not on him, he bounces rapidly and works out. Draak is not only a good defensive wrestler but is also good on the offensive. The hold he most commonly uses is the body, arm and crotch hold. He weighs about POO DoundS

Manager Carlton Molesworth will have his first opportunity to get a line on the Barons under fire this after noon when the Blount County High school aggregation from Oneonta in- uled to start at 3 o'clock with Harry Stradford doing the officiating.
 Moley has placed his squad of about 30 men under heavy fire for the past week. Practice has been strenuous and the Baron chieftian has been rewarded by having practically every member of the squad in good shape. Especially is the pitching staff in good shape. Not 8 single regular, recurit or rookie hurl- CT is suffering from sore wing.
 MoIey has watched his battery men pitcher in training camp can never be too well illustrated. and Moley didn't allow his hurlers to curve the ball until after practice had been in progress over week. Gradually was the form approached until now the en- tire staff is in fine working order.
 PITCHERS MUST FIGHT
 The liveliest battle for any position on the team will probably be staged in the hurling department. Moley has the entire staff from last years team, in- cluding Dick Robertson, Arthur John son, Burleigh Grimes, Karl Black Emory Perryman. The recruits are Elmer Ponder from the Texas league and Fred Miller from the Central asso- ciation. Vines, a local product, is also a member of the staff and has been showing up well in the snort trlal. Moley expects all of the regulars to possess the same form that won them place among. the top-notchers in the pitching department of the Southern league. Should any one of the five falter, Moley has Miller and Ponder. who nave promise of developing into star mounds men.
 Moley considers both Miller ana ron

 beginning of the sixth consecutive year
 of professional baseball for Anniston, the
 seventh year for Rome. Ga, the first year

 outlook baseball Is a fixture In this little
 league, and despite the size of some or
 the towns the baseball clubs are given
 royal support. Already enough money to
 run the teams throughout the coming sea- son has almost been subscribed.
 The rule of the Georgia-Alabama league
 which prohibited any club from employing
 more than one man who has played in
 league higher than class D causes man agers to develop number Of young play CTS who later turn into stars Among some of the players who have been sent
 up are: Pop Roy Smith and Pezold with the New Orleans club. Smith played with Anniston in 1911, and Pezold played with
 Gadsden in 1913. Danny Clark. who has
 made good with Birmingham. and who is expected to aid the Barons this year. played with Gadsden in 1913. Reed. with Atlanta last season. played with Rome in 1911 Farmer, with Nashville last sea son, played with Selma in 1914 Tommy VI with Gadsden in 1S11 Rogers who is one of Nashvilles hopes from the pitcher s box, was with Talladega in 1914; Karr, with Chattanooga. was with Selma in 1914; Cruise, with St. Louis Nationals, played with Anniston; Love, with New York Americans, played with Selma; Cook, who is with the same club, played with De- catur during the season of 1911; Decatur and Clapp. with Nashville, played with Talladega and Anniston Chancey, with the Boston Nationals. played with Selma Burke and Waldren who are trying out with Mobile, played with Selma and New man.
 The salary limit having been increased by about s200 for the coming season, the fans are expecting to see higher class of ball than they witnessed last season. However, the president of the different clubs have absolutely no intention of ex- ceding the salary limit under any condi-
 uons.

BOSTON RED SOX |. START TRAINING

Carrigan Takes Charge of the Squad-Wood and Speaker Are Absent
 From Camp

Hot Springs, March 19.-(Special) 1.-The hide, and the thud of the pill as it landed in the padded mitt were daily features on the Majestic Park field the past week, for the Boston Red Sox, champions oi the world, resumed their spring trainins here with a delegation of 26 players.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are also scheduled to arrive Sunday
 Manager Bill Carrfgan arrived with the initial squad. If he expected to find Smoky Joe Wood awaiting him he was disappointed, for Joe was not numbered among those present, and Carrigan stat ed that he had not heard whether or not Wood or Iris Speaker, the heavy hitting outfielder of the champs, had attached their names to contracts for the coming season. Carl Mays, one of Carrlgan $ boxman, had been here for three weeks and has quite an edge on the others where condition is concerned. s. A.

Even the Children

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 An 'embusque' in French, a stacker in England, means a man who shirks the dangerous duties of war, and among the warning nations the pur- suit of embusques and slackers goes on relentlessly'
 The speaker was Edna Wallace Hop per, who has just returned from France. She continued:
 Even the little children take their small part in this relentless pursuit They tell a story about a little girl in Paris. whose mother said to her in the Bois:
 Look-in that big automobile-that is General Joffre'
 "The little girl looked at the ven erable commander in chief and frowned
 Mamma" she said, severely, why isn't he in the trenches"'

TURNER REPORTS FIRST


 Bob Turner, substitute halfback on the McGugin machine, was among the earliest to report for the dashes. In he century sprint. Turner performed with distinction last year, an initiation into a college club crippling his work. just when he had struck the top of his stride. In the dual meet with Auburn Turner broke the tape at 10 flat, and 1T the gridiron gent takes proper care or nm self should better his time in the 5. l. A. A. Casey, high jumper, Is an- other vet from the 1915 team. While Stew enson, a member of the relay team which vas nosed out at New Orleans is also aack.
 To develop a pair of hurdlers and build ID a relay team is the biggest trouble which confronts Coach Anderson. Stahl- ran and Chester were certain point win t.ers and although there are number of candidates for the barriers, none have shown any startling form. Kelly and Murphy, are two likely looking candidates from Castle Heights, while Dough Hay, the substitute halfbaclS on the Commo- dore football team, though he knows nothing of form has made good time in the trials at the hurdies
 Daily workouts have been in progress for about two weeks and during the lat ter part of this week, the candidates in the dashes have been sent through trial heats. In spite of the fact thar Coach Anderson has a squad numbering around 50 candidates, the material at hand Is so green that prospects for de- veloping a winning team, from the pres ent outlook, are too remote to justify the most optimistic predictions.

WINNER TO BE MATCHED

The winner of this match will be held over until next week, when he will be matched against another prominent grappler. The winner of that match will have the opportunity of meeting either Dr. Roller or "Strangler" Lewis, both claimants to the American champion Ship.
 The club Is expecting to bring the best wretlers in the game to Btr- mingham. William Streit. who has charge of the wrestling, is in cummunt- cation with Joe Stecher, who Is bidding for bout with Frank Gotch for a match to decide the worlds champion ship, and if sufficient enthusiasm is shown he will be brought to Birming- ham, An effort Is also being made to get Gotch here.
 The programme tonight will start at S:30 o'clock. Jack Riddle will referee the big bout The two prelinIinar1es will be finished matches. while the bat tie royal will be between six ot the choice battlers of Africa's population in the Birmingham district.

Annual s. I. A. A. Track Meet Will Be Big Af- fair In Southern
 Athletics
Fly BLINkY HORN

Nashville, March 19.-(Special.) )-Havlng secured the s. l. A. A. annual track meet, after vigorous campaign, Wander bilt is now bending every effort to se- cure a track team. While the energy with which the Commodore athletic pow CTS sought the classic event and the doubtful strength of the Vandy track team, appear paradoxical, the fact can not be disputed that Coach Anderson faces 8 herculean task to develop a team that will be able to make creditable showing.
 Thrcrgh graduations and for other causes the Commodores have been robbed of a quartet of crack performers on the 1915 team and although the candidates for the 1916 team are strong in numbers, no brilliant performers have as yet ap- peared. The loss of Jimmy Stahlman, who recently entered the University Of Chicago and "Yunk' Chester, from the hurdle event, Clint Atkins from the half mile and Branham from the pole vault entry, has left tour wide gaps that so far have not been filled.
 Bob Garner, who shattered the s. I. A. A. mile record in New Orleans last spring, is back again and Vandy hopes are pinned to his fleet heels to take first place in that event. Than Garner there are few more earnest entries in track circles The tempera ture never drops too low for the Commodore miller to take his daily workout, from one seasons end ,C another

Good Gard Offered Tonight by Athletic Club at Second of Series of Wrestling Bouts
Tom Draak to Meet Ande Kandra-Two Preiminares and
 Battle Royal to Precede Main Attraction

pounds. Kandrat has wrestled large number of the popular mat demons, in cluding Dr. Roller, who was such popular favorite here about two years ago; Ed Lewis. Zybysco, and num- Der of others. He comes from Lithuania a small province in Russia, where he was undisputed champion for a num- Der of years. He is exceedingly popu- lar in the old country, where he wres- tied for a number of years.
 Kandrat wrestled Roller to an hour draw recently. He is an experienced wrestler and should give the young ster Draak a tough fight Although Draak is slightly outweighed, the ad- vantage is not noticeable. Draak has been working out at the Athletic club for the past week and is in the best of condition. He has been training with local amateurs. Kandrat is expected to arrive this morning.
