Few Statistics on New Mem- bers of BarOnial Roster
 Prove Interesting
NOT ONE PLAYER CAN
 BE CHASED VETERAN
Experience Plentiful--Moley Sticks to Old Policy of Developing Young CT Players Amateur
 Star to Get Try-out
sy FRED BoDEkER

Considering material left over
 from last years team and the pos
 abilities which Manager Carlton
 McleSwOrth has on hand already,
 the Baron team for 1917, will be
 enc composed almost entirely of
 ycungstess. Last years team did
 not have thoroughly seasoned
 man in age 0B the roster and un-
 less an addition Is made before the
 season starts the Barons will fol-
 low out the same policy.
 Practically every one of the men on Moley's roster are young. Not man on the list which will be mailed con tracts within the next week or so tops the thirty mark in years. This is very unusual. club generally has real veteran in addition to the manager, but Moley's policy is different.
 Moley has liking for young play CTS. He has often picked players from the bushes and in one years time has had valuable man. The secret is simple. He knows good player when his giimpers falls on him.
 This year Moiey has already form ulated his plans. They are, as usual, built around youngsters. A glance over the roster of the new men will bear out this fact We know those of the 1916 team, so we'll pass them up for

and is only 19 years old. This will be his second year in organized baseball.
 Walter Werner, an outfielder from the South Atlantic, is known. He had a trial last year, but was farmed out. He batted .2S4. He is about feet inches, weighs about 175 pounds and is 20 years of age.
 w. J. Webb, a third baseman, was se- cured from Duluth in the Northern league. His records are not known. He weighs 160 pounds, is feet 10 inches tall and is 20 years of age.
 Doc Johnston, the eX-major leaguer and formerly of New Orleans, had an off, year in the National league in 1916 and was consequently shipped to the minors. He batted only .213 with the Pirates last year but fielded .sS7. He is 5 feet g inches tall, weighs 175 pounds and is about 28 years of age

LOYELACE A "COMER.

Bob Loveless, local amateur pitcher, Is another one of Moley's ''comers." He is well known here, having performed faithfully on the sand lots in this dis trict for the past years.
 J. w. Roberts, Jr., with Montgomery in the South Atlantic last year. is also tn property of the Barons. He is for nleriy an amateur star in north Ala bama.
 From the above statistics. which are the first to be printed in Birmingham. it can be seen that Moley has coralled a squad of young giants. Should the men from last year be averaged in the total would be very little changed.
 Quick thinkers and quick actors are the kind which Moley thinks can deliver the goods in any size bundles, and lie selects the youngsters to do it.

HOELKE HIT 1854

Central association averages show that Ellison, the Muscatine infielder, took part in 127 games and hit for .361. Mathes, who played second base for Terre Haute, had batting mark of .354 in "A games and Hoelke's International league ba ting figures show that he hit for .944 in 122 games, while holding down first base for Rochester.
 Rather out of the ordinary is the fact that four of these five champion bats- men are infielders, Jacobson being the only outfielder. Heretofore a big ma Jorty of the star clouters gathered an nually by the major leagues from the smaller circuits have been outfielders Now it would seem that the infielders are fast developing the art of hitting and are to give the gardeners a good run for the bingle honors. The same improvement in hitting by the infielders is noticeable in the major leagues, especially in the National, in which organization eight of the dozen leading batsmen played infield positions.
 The fact that so many of the minor league batting champions are veteran pastimers and former big leaguers may account for the small number of minor league leaders "coming up" this year Nowadays major league managers prefer taking a chance in developing a young Ster

NOTE
TO GO FORWARD;
NO CONFIRMATION
SAILORS RELEASE
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 16.-The United
States may send the Yarrowdale note
to Germany regardless of press re-
ports that the ~ American sailors
were released. This morning no Off
cial confirmation of press reports had
been received. The note is ready to
go forward and contains detailed
statements of the treatment of Ger
man citizens and German sailors and
German property in the United
States.
Officials believe these should be
given even should the official notice
of the release of the sailors come.
Some action would also keep the rec
ords clear and serve a formal protest
against Germany's imprisoning of
American sailors.
Officials have received a message
from Ambassador Elkus at Constan-
tinople, giving additional details Of
how Americans were effected in Tur-
key. The department of state de-
clines to reveal the contents of the
message to prevent break with Aus
tria. The United States has not or
dered Americans to leave Austria.

KAISER IS CON1RASTED
With OUR LINCOLN

Duluth, Feb. 16.-Lincoln and
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany were
contrasted in a very interesting way
by Attorney Homer Fulton in an ad-
dress on abraham Lincoln" before
the Duluth School Principals club
at the Glass Block tearooms.
"The kaiser always speaks as il
God was with him." said the speaker,
"while Lincoln was always solicitous
of Gods help, and at the same time
realized that he must be on Gods
side rather than God on his side. !"
This, the speaker declared, showed a
remarkable trait in Lincoln's char
acter in his relations to God and his
feIlowmen.

Germany Faces Crisis.
(By Carl Ackerman)

United Press correspondent with
Gerard.
Paris, Feb. 16.-Germany is un-
der nourished and food and economic
conditions are daily growing worse.
There is endless graft in the food
plan and the transpor-
tation problem of the empire is be-
coming more complex. Meanwhile,
General Won Hindenberg plans to 60
forward just the same.
General Hindenberg's plan is cal
culated on the German army alone.
1t embodies the whole nation concen-
trating it's strength upon the army,
with a million women with women
officers forming an industrial force
and working for the fatherland, re-
placing men needed for the army.
Americans leaving Berlin with
Gerard were deluged with requests
for the food supplies carried by the
departing Americans. One offer was
$3.50 for a pound of fats. A Ger
man physician asked an American
to pay him in food and not money.
The police are powerless to stop
the gratis in the food problem.
