Gossip About the Bdrons
 And Baseball in General
By FRED BODEKER

We'll, we came back on the Vols yesterday and gave them a little of their own medicine. On Thursday, with over 5000 people at Redwood, the Vols made the Barons look worse than a gang of schoolboys-and especially the pitchers-but yesterday Boss Moley and his crew secured a bit of sweet revenge.
 The Barons are in Voltown for an- other game today and still another one tomorrow. Moley will probably send Elmer Ponder to the mound to do the flinging today and there's no reason why Elmer shouldn't set the Vols down with another walloping.
 The entire Baron squad, with the exception of Pitcher Bob Loveless and First Baseman Ernie Burke, are in Nashville. Burke is a classy little first sacker but he's not good enough to beat Doc Johnston out of the job at the initial sack. Burke has the ma terial to make a valuable man ana Moley will no doubt cast him out. cut with some strong strings
 Burke was in the North Carolina
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-14

ons until of late and he appeared to De in excellent trim before he departed. Last year his injured knee prevented him from giving his best services to the Chicks as a twirler but the injured member is back in shape now and Monte should show some of the form that gave him a major league try-out few seasons ago.
 Al Ellis broke into the game yesterday in the Baron lineup with the real stuff Al pounded out a couple of two-base drives and both came in the pnch-and that's what counts. Al looks like a fin ished ball player. Several of the Pittsburg newspapers men who came through Bir- mingham with the Pirates laughed when it was mentioned that the Barons might get Ellis. He was considered the most promising youngster gathered by the Pi- rate ivory hunters for a big league trial
 Al will play the midgarden for the Barons all this year if the debut yes- terday has anything to do with winning job. Ellis will remind the fan of Emil Meusel, last years star hitter. He's about Meusel's size and has his stride in run ming. His swing at the plate is vastly different, however but nevertheless he certainly takes a healthy walop.
 Judging from the showing yesterday Of the Vols. they are certainly not in con- dition. Nashville newspaper men insisted before Thursdays game that the Vols were not in shape but the way they wall loped the Barons, who are supposed to be in midseason form, it appeared they were ready for big league campaign
 All that's baseball, however. The teams exactly turned tables yesterday and the gossip of the Vol scribes must be be- lieved-except Thursdays polo contest
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-14

league last season. Moley will hardly send him back there to play again this season. The Central league is Moley's favorite farming ground and he may send the youngster to some club in that league for year of ex- perience.
 Moley has Pitcher Howard Douglas s with him on this trip and he'll prob ably be sent against the Vols in one of the games. Douglas comes to the Barons highly recommended and Moley does not intend to cast him adrift un- til he has been given thorough trial. Douglas is one of the players who was given to the Barons in the Bur- leigh Grimes deal last fall.
 The question of who will play third base for the Barons during the com ing campaign is causing more talk and comment than any other issue among the local fandom. Moley must choose between Eddie Mcdonald, sea- soned veteran. and Bill Webb, a youngster who has. been showing ali sorts of ability.
 The fans like the work of young Webb. No doubt he is a nice little ball player. but he's certainly not good enough to nose Eddie out of the job. Eddie is one of the brainiest players
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-14

in the Southern league today. He knows more about the inside workings of baseball than any other player. And man like this is certainly of great value to any club.
 Last year the fans howled about Ed die as rotten player. They first said he should not be on the hot corner be- cause he couldn't field. When the field ing averages were compiled and Eddie stood at the top of the list they then switched to his poor hitting.
 We've got this much to say about the issue. Eddie should be played at third base. His services are greatly needed with team of youngsters as Moley has and it is our firm belief that within a few days Eddie will be seen in action again and on the hot corner
 We don't believe. however, that Moley will cut Webb aloose. He Is too promising. True this is only his sec ond year in baseball, yet he shows rare ability for such a youngster in the game. Webb will probably be con tinued in service and he'll probably fill the role of utility player for the Barons
 Of course, this is only prediction and Moley may fool us all and make some unthought of shift in his lineup Moley is talented manager, however, and he'll make the wisest move.
 Monte Priest the local product, made his initial debut of the season yesterday with the Memphis Chicks. Although Monte is pitcher, he was played in the outfeld. He is fair hitter and has seen experience on the diamond at second base when he was in the International league a few years ago.
 Monte has been training with the Bar

Don't Experiment with Catarrh;
 It Often Leads to Dread Consumption

pearance in the nostrls, throat and air passages, the disease becomes more and more aggravated and finally reaches down into the lungs, and every one rec ognizes the alarming condition that re- suits when the lungs are affected. Thus Catarrh may be the forerunner of that most dreaded and hopeless of all dis eases, consumption.
 No local treatment affords perman- ent relief. Experience has taught that S. S.

You Will Never Be Cured by Local Treatment With Sprays and Douches.

Catarrh is condition of the blood and cannot be cured by local applica- tions of sprays and douches; this has been proven by the thousands who have vainly resorted to this method of treat ment.
 Catarrh should not be neglected or experimented with. The wrong treat ment is valuable time lost, during which the disease is getting a firmer hold upon it's victim, and making it more dif- ficult for even the proper treatment to accomplish results.

 The defeat of Birmingh ham in the open- ing day campaign is the first marked against the Magic City since the trophy was first offered in 1913.
