 SIGNS CONTRACT Signed Contract Received Yesterday-The Umpir-
 ing Staff Is Now
 Complete

Bill Hart has signed the contract offered Southern league and will become mem Der of the umpiring staff this season Hart's signed contract was received at the league office yesterday afternoon.
 Hart was selected for the vacancy on the staff over almost 100 applicants. President Baugh announced on Monday that he had offered Hart the job and was expecting a reply at an early date. Many fans expected Hart to refuse the National league this season, but declined. He made an application to President Baugh, however, several months ago for the next opening. Hart announced his retirement from the national pastime Tor good immediately after sending his ap- plcation to President Baugh
 It was never cancelled and after care fully considering applicants, Hart was selected and the contract rendered. This is not Harts first year as an umpire Tn the Southern league. He was a member of the umpiring staff in 1914, and gave complete satisfaction. The next year he went to the majors He worked the en- tire season in the National league.
 The vacancy which Hart will fill was caused by the resignation of Scotty Ches- mutt. Scotty resigned to accept berth in the International league under Presi- dent Barrow. For about the past two months the question of the new umpire has been one of lively discussion. The umpiring staff is now complete The seven members from last year have al ready signed. Hart's return to the South ern league will be welcomed especially by the many fans that have branded him as the best umpire in the history of the Southern league"

MOLLY SENDS KING TOP0RTSMOUTHFOR MORE SEASONING No Word Received From HOldOuts-Brisk Work
 outs Continue at
 Redwood

The first trade of the training season took place yesterday when Manager Molesworth announced the release of In fielder King to the Portsmouth club of the Virginia league. King is local product and although he has been show ing up remarkably well at short, where Moley has been trying him, it was found that he was still too inexperienced for Class A baseball.
 Moley, however thinks that he has an- other "find in young King and conse- quently will keep all strings attached. King will not report to Portsmouth for several days and will continue his prac- tice at Redwood with the Barons. Ac- cording to Moley, King is one of the best productions that amateur baseball can boast of in Birmingham. He is excep- tionally fast and handles himself we'll His weakness is at the bat. Moley, however. is of the opinion that he will round into good player with little experience.
 The Barons continued their usual prac- tce yesterday, both in the morning and afternoon. Moley put his squad through a brisk workout. consisting chiefly ot batting and fielding practice. No new players reported to the Baronial camp Moley wired Shortstop Caton for his req son for failure to report on time, but had received no answer up to late hour last night. The telegraph authorities re- ported that he could not be found at home, which Moley takes to mean that he is on the road to Birmingham.
 That Birmingham will have two genuine hold-outs appears to be a fact. Catchei Hauser and Outfielder Meusel have posi- lively refused to sign contract at the figure named by local officials, who have refused to meet their demands. 1t Is now up to the players. If they fan to sigr soon, they will be suspended and will moi be allowed to play baseball until they set tie the dispute with the local manage. ment Both Hauser and Meusel are prom ising young players, but their demands are unreasonable, according to Moley.
 But six Barons are now absent from roll call. Carroll and O'Rourke will re- port on Monday, while Caton is expected today and Mcdonald about Tuesday. The two hold-outs may also report at any date

CHARLEY FRANK OFF
 FOR TRAINING CAMP
 ID ASSUME CHARGE
Entire Cracker Roster Is Waiting Arrival of the Pilot to Start
 Practice

"The Flying Dutchman" of the Crackers is off Manager Charley Frank, accompanied by several news paper men, pulled out of Atlanta yes- terday for Valdosta where the training camp is in progress. The Crackers un- der the leadership of Harry Mathews, the former Baron, have been in pre- liminary training for about the last three weeks and according to reports the squad is in fine shape
 The Crackers will present strong lineup and other clubs will face a formidable opponent in Franks toss CTS. Charley will assume charge of the activities immediately upon his ar rival and then begin to prepare the team for the beginning of the season. which is less than 8 month off The Atlanta Constitution gives some inter esting dope on the situation as follows:
 Manager Charles Frank of the Crackers, accompanied by the sport scribes, left last night for the Crack CTS training camp at Valdosta, and today the work will begin in earn est.
 By the time the manager arrives in Valdosta practically every candidate for a place on the team should be there and in harness.
 Double workouts will be in order when Frank gets there. There will be a two hour session in the forenoon and a three-hour in the afternoon, and with a week of this work some line can be gained on what the Crackers look like
 From his Valdosta headquarters, range games with the major league clubs that are training in Florida, and Valdosta fans are certain to be treated to some real baseball then
 Just how long he will stay in Val dosta Manager Frank could not decide before leaving. He hinted, however, that he would be there until at least the first week in April
 Roy Moran and W. Wheeler are the latest additions to Matty's prelim- mary squad of Crackers. Wheeler came in for work today, while Moran arrived after the squad had finished work, but stated that he was ready and anxious for the beginning tomorrow.
 Wheeler is young hurler from Ber- lin, Ga. a little town near this city, who comes to Manager Frank with reputation as having pitched some win ming semi professional ball.
 He has high hopes of making some of the older hurlers go strong to beat him out. Moran is the old reliable and is known to every Atlanta fan.
 Matty has been putting in some licks in practice about as good as the work he did on the baseball park. He has been working the bunch in the morn ing and afternoons and as a result they are able to walk out to the park, mile and a half, do some stunts on the dia- mond and throw a few, run around the half mile track and then trot back to the hotel without much more than long breath or two.
 Manager Frank will find the crowd in pretty good shape when he gets in tomorrow morning. The boys are look ing forward to the arrival of Manager Frank, the newspaper bunch and sev- eral other players tomorrow morning with a great deal of pleasure. It will take only a few days of real south Georgia weather to put the entire crew in good working trim.

MORAN WATCHED CLOSELY

Moran, who has trained zealously, is carefully watched by his trainer, Lewis, and his attendants. so that he may not overdo the work.
 Today only the cheaper seats were left for sale at the Garden. The demand for box seats and those situated immediately back of the arena boxes has become so urgent that large sums are being of- fered to those who secured these reser- vations several days ago. The promo ters of the contest believe that the regu- lar box office receipts will reach S140000.

Benny Kauff wants 5000 bonus for signing with the Giants and will not report until he receives said amount. The New York club might as well give it to him. if it was not for the prin- ciple of the thing, for Benny's pres ence in exhibition games would prove powerful attraction.

TAYLOR FROM MAJORS

"A AOAs Ato4l M Olto Wylie Taylor, the big right-hander se- cured under an optional agreement from Louisville by the Vols, has travelled up to the majors so often and back again that he could make the trip with his eyes l shut.

This time it was the White | SoN who claimed the big righthander and after sampling his hurling dropped | him off at Lincoln, Neb. Back he went again to Austin at the close of the 1915 1 season, and was sold in the fall of that l year to the Browns. being hailed as one of the most promising hurlers who ever | made the trip north.

WILLIAMS COULDN'T WAIT

Although the infielders and flychasers are not due to report until the first part of next week, Gus Williams couldn't wait any longer, and blew right along to get the range of the fences in the Vols back yard. Not long ago folks were saying that Gus would do a lot of things be- fore he would take up picket duty for the Vols. but from all outward signs the heavy clubber is eager for the call to arms.
 Last night Backstopper Clarence Mar shall drifted into camp from his winter quarters at Charleston. S. C., just to keep Catcher Jack Gooch from feeling lone some. The arrival of the one-time Chick swelled the total of Vols in camp to eight and Messrs.

 Marshall broke into baseball four years ago up at Steubenville O.. and moved up to the Texas league the following year, doing backstop duty for Dallas. Dal- las passed the big receiver along to Charleston, where his work attracted the attention of the Memphis faction, and they had Bris Lord grab him. Illness last spring impaired his work and checked his swatting, causing the Chicks to turn him back to Charleston, with string. for further seasoning. In the fall of last year Marshall was recalled, but when the Chicks began to dicker for Dolly Stark, the Vols demanded the bulky receiver 2 nd landed him
