 and Jennings does not want to keep him idle longer. He would fit in nicely with Elberfelds plans, as he is a 300 hitter as well as a hashy fielider. The Kid plans to put Bowden in center, where he

A BARON A DA Y
No DANNY CLARK, SECOND EASTMAN

Birmingham has a youngster whc l is a slugger extraordinary. He Is nc other than Danny Clark, the star sec I ond sacker of Moley's Barons. Danny is a regular baseball player. He's the kind the fans like-one who can paste that old pill
 Danny halls from Meridian, Miss. He has been a member of the Barons since 1915. He held down the key stone in 1915, but played no star game. Last year, however, he did and the same brand of ball or better is ex- pected from the youngster again this season.
 Fans Will remember one game last season when Danny lifted the ball over the right field wall twice in one game and won the battle. We'll Danny has his eye peeled on the wall again this year and he's liable to repeat and more than on one occasion.
 Danny hasn't been In baseball very long. Tn fact he couldn't have and still be a youngster. Dannys career was started on the sand lots in Me- riidan, Miss. He played on the high school team and later drifted into dHldtcuT DdD. I1e ANYWAYS neIQ the reputation of being demon swatter
 His professional career began in 1913 when he signed with Gadsden in the Georgia Alabama league. He had a fair season, batting 1903 and fielding equally as good. He had the reputa- tion of being the best second sack CT in the league. Elmer Randall was man. ager of his club.
 Tn 1914 Danny went to Augusta, Ga. in the South Atlantic. He had brief trail with the Barons and was farmed out. He had the prospects but he wasn't ripe for a regular job with Lii Mar can playing a stellar game at the key stone
 In 1915, however, Danny came to the Barons to stay. He played good ball during training season and Moley kept him stationed on the bag for the remainder of the season.
 Danny has always been heavy hit ter. He batted .29S in the South At lantic with Augusta. He hit .265 for the Barons in 1915 and last year in- creased his average to .298.
 Danny had the eyes of the big league ivory hunters keyed on him, but he

Don Flynn, who led the league in stolen bases last season with 42 thefts aided tho Newman club to lead in stolen bases with 1& to their credit. Rome was a close second with 1s4 bases, LaGrange did well by stealing 166, while Griffin and Anniston made a very poor showing. Griffin stole 69. while Anlliston was able to swipe only 52, just 10 more bases than Flynn of Newman stole by himself
 The LaGrange club proved to be the best walters at the bat last season. as that club was given 206 free passes to first base. Wilson Collins, the old Van derbilt star. who played with this club under the name of Wilson, worked many a pitcher for free pass by getting 25 passes He was also one of the fastest men in the Georgia-Alabama Jones and Roland were also good walters. The fact that the IaGrange club knew how to draw walks and their fast pace on the bases caused them to be feared by other clubs in the. Georgia-Alabama league
 Frank Manush had his Romans well
 trained in the waiting game. as this club drew 204 walks. Newman was third, with IFS: Talladega fourth, with 164; Griffin
 fifth, with 151. while Anniston drew less than the other clubs. by working the pitcher for only 14o passes.
 The Talladega club which led the Geor-
 gia-Alahama league in hits and the num-
 Der of times credited at bat, also lead the circuit in the number of times they let
 the pitchers of the others clubs fool them, as they are credited with 315 strikeouts. Newman was second, with 3o6 fans; La- Grange third, with 27l: Griffin fourth. with 262 and Anniston fifth. with 250. Rome did well in this department of the game. which causes the fans to grit their teeth and say. evil remarks about the best of players, ~when they walk up to the plate, take three swings or let

Last Season Best Tn History
 for Ge0rgid-Aldbd Ledque
By CAREY J. AYERS

Anniston, March 1s.-(special.) )-Had there been an agreement in the Georgia Alabama league last season that the championship should be awarded to the club making the largest total of runs during the season, the pennant would have been given to the Newman club, as the team, which was guided by Harry Matthews led tho league in runs with 2s0 scores to Rome's 2s1. However, Newman played two more games than Rome by playing s7 games to the champion s6. La Grange came third with 2S scores in 6s
 games; Talladega fourth. with 22s runs
 in 64 games; Griffin fifth, with 218 runs
 in e4 games, and Anniston made less runs
 than any other club in the league by
 scoring only 1s7 times in 62 games. but
 ended the season about two games ahead
 of Griffin.
 Talladega was credited with more times
 at bat than the other clubs by being
 marked up with 2143 but only one more than Newman, as that club is given 21l2 times at bat. Newman played one more game than Griffin did last season. yet the two clubs were credited with the same
 number of times at bat with 064 times each. Anniston was credited with 1871 and the Rome club wath 1888.
 The Talladega club outhit any other club in the leagde. although they ended the season in fourth place. Tige Gar rett and a heavy hitting outfield last season in Camp, Clapp and Smith. The first two players hit over 80 and Smith hit very near that mark. The club se- cured 554 hits in 64 games. Newman came second. with 646, Rome next with 5l1, LaGrange was fourth. with 4o5, Griffin fifth with 46s. while Anniston was the weakest hitting club in the league. aa they were able to make only 429 hits n 62 gamea 4

How do the two big leagues compare? This much-debated question is covered in a very thorough manner in the April Baseball Magazine. We quote briefly from the article by the magazines edi- tor, F. c. Lane:
 The American league slightly outhit the National, while the older circuit largely made up this difference through it's greater total of extra base wallops. The figures offset one another to such an extent that they may be said to bal- ance.
 In base-stealing and run-getting the American league showed a well-marked superiority, due partially, at least, to certain factors noted above which were peculiar to that league. But we also dis covered that the superiority of the American league in the offense was large ly due to the work Of two or three indi- vidual players who were superior to any in the National league. Deducting the work of these players, we found that the offensive strength of the American league slumped from a mark a little above that of the National to level a little below.
 Tn pltcnlnS the lrlunpHS were practi- cally all in favor of the National league by a margin rather larger than that of the American league In the offense.
 In the field, while the issue was close ly drawn, the lump sum of assists and putouts in the American league slightly exceeded that in the National. while the older organization was guilty of more errors. In other words, the American league slightly bettered it's older rival. ,
 But the most impressive fact revealed ty this comparison was the general bal ance of strength displayed by the two leagues.
 Certainly, Max Carey's contention that the two leagues (outside the work of two or three stars) were on an equality was amply vindicated. For any possible su-

Elmer Ponder ArriDes In
 Trim For Strenuous Year
By FRED BODEkER

Elmer Ponder, the big Baron finger. arrived in Birmingham yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock from his home in Okla homa and reported to Manager Molesworth as ready to start train ing immediately. Ponder was some what tired from his long journey but expressed his belief that he would be in shape for a good work out today
 The arrival of Ponder leaves but one Baron to report. Eddie Me Donald. the Baron third sacker did not report. as expected yesterday, and will consequently reach Bir-s mingham today He will be in camp Tuesday at the latest
 Moley will hold practice at Redwood this morning as usual He stated last night that the ap- pearance of cool weather would not halter training camp progress. The amount of training. however. will be slightly reduced until the warm weather resumes.
 The progress being made by thes Barons is causing confidence among the fans as well as close followers of the club. The practice Saturday showed that Moley has lively collection of players and the team this season should be one of the best in recent years.
 The lineup Is already being f1g- ured out by the fans. Arguments are occurring daily as to which Baron recruit is the best and along all other lines The opinion is gen eral, however. that all but two po- sitions on the team are settled.
 The biggest battle of all will come in the pitching department. Moley has six eflingers who are capable of hurling in Class A ball and the question of picking the five best will undoubtedly cause the chubby one some worry.
 Carmen Hill. the finger secured from Pittsburg, will undoubtedly | be the first" pitcher. Elmer Pom der, Karl Black and Arthur John son are also look ed upon as cer- tainties provided they show the form which made them winners in this league last year.
 There's just one more berth open and that will be fought out between Douglas. the lanky hurl-
