A BARON A DA Y
No. IA EDDIE MCDONALD, THIRD EASTMAN

Moley has one experienced player on his ball club although the Baron roster is known throughout the south already as one composed chiefly or youngsters This is Eddie Mcdonald, the Baron third sacker and field leader of last year. Eddie hasn't got in con- dition vet and but few fans have seen him this year but he's right here on the job.
 Edward Cyril Mcdonald of Albany N. Y., is his winter address Eddie says his middle name is a breakfast food andt that's one reason why he never believes in getting up early.
 But the said MT. Mcdonald has a too long on his personalities. Eddie broke into the national pastime as a regular player back in 1906 with the Albany club in the New York state league, a Class B organization. Eddie went to Utica in the same league the following year.
 He started in as fielder, playins several positions and finally winding up as a star third sacker. In 1908 Ed ulc WdS dIdIlGu pJ lhC NV e.i n iiAtS' . nationals. He played the hot corner there and the following year was traded to Toronto in the same league. Eddie had a fine season but was nor molested by a major league team.
 In 1910 Eddie was sold to Buffalo in the same circuit Here he had a ban ner year and the following year saw him fighting under the banner of the Boston Braves. Eddie played the en- tire season with the Braves and the following year he was again retained. He played third base the greater part of the time.
 Tn 1913 Eddie figured in trade be- tween the Chicago Cubs and the Braves He played only half of the season with the Cubs and he was sent to the Barons Eddie finished the season here in 1913 and was back again in 1914. He had great season and won the reputation of being the best third sacker in the league He was largely instrumental in the Barons winning the rag.
 In 1915 Eddie was a free agent and he signed with the Atlanta Crackers, having another great season. Last year Moley located him and when he found out he was a free agent he promptly offered him a contract. Eddie accept ed and he played the hot corner for the Barons last year. Eddies back again this season and he'll probably be found guarding the third station again. He Is troubled with a sore arm at the present. but he expects to be in good shape by the opening of the season, April 12.
 Eddie is a real ball player. He un- derstands the finer points of the game and he uses his head He is one of | the smartest ball players in this | league. He is world of value to a | club and not city in the league would | turn Eddie's services down at the present if Moley would cut him loose 1 A fine fellow personally. Eddie is exceedingly popular in Birmingham Fans who understand baseball know I he Is a regular player-the kind ali managers want on their club. 1 He was field leader of the Barons

PROSPECTS BETTER FOR CHARLEY FRANK
 AND HIS CRACKERS
Chubby Leader of Atlanta Aggregation Has Abund- ance of Material to Se-
 lect Team From
By DICK JEMIsON

Atlanta April 1.-(Special.-If pep
 and fight, something which the Crackers lacked last season. count for anything, then the locals can be counted in the pennant race this season.
 In Munch at first Bridwell at second. Reilly at short and Midhiff at third, the Crackers have four fighters their in- field that will keep things talked up throughout every battle the locals play. Add this pep and fight to the same hit ting power as last season, better pitch" ing, better fielding and more brains and local fans have a right to their belief that they will have team in the running | this season.
 Moran Mayer and Mcdonald will take care of the outer works, with Ike Thrasher, brother of the hard hitting Frank as sub, while Loring Thrasher, another brother, and Clancy with the locals last season, infield sups. PLENTY OF HURLERS The Dutchman has five right handlers and four left-handers trying for 6 berths on the hurling staff and he Is go ing to have a job selecting the best five. Otto Hess, who pitched the Pelicans to a pennant few seasons ago, 1s now Cracker and if he shows his cd time cunning he is certain to earn regular berth.
 Ad Brennan with the Crackers last sea-
 son Is almost certain to be a regular. This looks like Finis Wilson oe last years staff and Rube Bresslar, secude from the Athletics, are to be left out in tie cold.
 Sheehan, a big right t-hander from the Athletics; Fullendiwer, secured from the International league, and Red Day of last years staff, seem to have the edge on the right-hander's berths, with Davis
 and Robertson having a look in. CATCHERS BACK AGAIN Perkins and Niederkorn, the young catchers of last years teams, improved In their general play after a seasons work are expected to take care of the catching in good form this season. Ponce de Leon has been changed. The fence has been taken down from !" front of the bleachers, the signs on the right field bank have been removed and sod placed back of the home plate. It looks like different park. Everything is ready for the opening day and the Crackers are going after ths opening day attendance trophy in Class A.

INDIANS IN FORM

The Indians are in perfect condition. They have been training in New Orleans for the past five weeks. Exhibition games have been played daily and as the result Fohl has his squad ready for the start of the American league season at the present.
 Among the players with the Indians are several of the greatest stars in the game. Probably the one who will attract the greatest attention while the Indians are here is Iris Speaker, the champion hitter of the American league. Iris beat Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers out of the honor last year by a wide margin.
 Smoky Joe Wood, formerly of the Bos- ton Red Sox, is another star Wood won his fame with the Red Sox in the cam paign of 1912, and later in the worlds se- ries with the New York Giants. Wood
