Uphill Struggle Copped By Moley's Men
DEAL FOR NEW OUTFIELDER
 FOR BARONS IS IN PROGRESS

right field, but Ray is a utility player and not a regular outfielder. Moley wants three hitters in the outfield who will bat around the coveted 300 mark and he has two of this calibre now in Cecil Coombs and Al Ellis. The new man. if secured. will easily bat 300 In this league. provided he lives up to his reputation.
 Anv lineup of the Baron team at the present is by no means perma- nent and 1t is probable that several other changes will be made within the. next month. The pitching staff, with seven good fingers on hand, is one of Moley's most puzzling problems.
 The deal for the new outfielder may or may not fall through, but provided it is successful the Barons will have another good player in their ranks.

 To open the second Webb walked and Jansen singled past short. Haworth flew out to right, but Karl Blacks single to right scored Webb. Caton sacrificed and Johnson was intentional passed. Coombs slashed a wicked bounder to third, which Kores, by wonderful ef- fort, managed to knock down holding Cecil to a single. Clark drove a terrific liner to Kaufman who muffed the ball, but managed to beat Danny to the bag. For four frames Herbert held the Barons to two scattered hits and then blew up in the seventh. After Black struck out, Caton singled through the box. stole sec ond and went to third on 8 passed ball. by Clark's and Ellis singles. and Herbert was derricked. Webb raised fly to cen- ter and Decatur famed Jansen.

 The new gardener. if the deal goes through, will not come from the Pitts burg Pirates or any Southern league club. The name of the player is known but it is being withheld for fear that 1t might probably block the deal.
 That Moley intends to strengthen his present lineup causes much surprise. It was thought that the Baron boss was satisfied with the present array of players he has. Moley, however, is anxious to win the Southern league rag this season and he'll not stop adding strength until he has found the combination which he thinks can fight it's way successfully through the campaign.

Military Training May Be
 Started Al Athletic Club

Following the action of the leading universities and schools throughout the country fin cancelling all athletic con- tests for the remainder of the spring. Chairm:s', William Streit, Jr., of the athletic committee of the Birmingham Athletic club. announced yesterday that the annual May Day track meet had been cancelled, together with all other to the present international crises. The announcement came as a surprise to those close in touch with affairs at the club.
 With the above announcement carne the word that military training would probably be inaugurated for club mem bers desiring within the next few days Colonel Crenshaw of the Alabama Ma tional Guard has been appealed to to send man to Birmingham to give training to desiring club members.
 The annual May day track meet has been one of the largest outdoor meets to be held in the south in recent years. Las, year the strong team from Georgia Tech copped the honors. Over eight of tho strongest track teams in the south were entered.
 The meet was held annually in May and in the past some of the greatest trac, men in the south have competed. A number of records have also been estab- lished by men in the meet.
 The action of the club comes as the re- suit of the majority of the southern col leges in calling off their remaining ath- letic contests for the present scholastic term. A number of southern schools however, have failed to follow thl. course.
 In making the announcement, Chairman Stret stated that The felt as though the club and its members should display patriotism during the present crisis, and the presence of sport competition would greatly distract the interest that all full blooded Americans should show
 The letter of Chairman Streit to the sporting editor of The Age-H Herald is as follows:
 Dear Sir: The board of governors oi the Birmingham Athletic club deem il advisable. due to the conditions of war to cancel the annual May day track mee and all other branches of outdoor com petition.

Despite the fact that the weather on Thursday and Friday in all towns of the circuit except Atlanta was in- element, over 10000 fans braved the cold. wind and rain and watched the teams open the seventeenth annual season of the Southern league. Fans in Birmingham were perhaps the most loyal to their home town, for over 5000 turned out and sat through a game which was played in a hard rain something that no other town in the league can boast.
 But Birmingham didn't have any cold weather on the opening day and sev- eraI towns in the circuit did. There's not much difference between the two, however. In Nashville Memphis and Chattanooga the fans had another touch of winter and approximately 1S,- 900 shivered through the games in these cities on Friday The remaining towns, except Atlanta, experienced a visit from Jupiter Pluvius.
 Although no official announcement has been made at the Southern league headquarters on the official attend ance at any of the towns. the figures gathered by The Age-Herald will prob ably be correct. They are as follows:
