ANOTHER ENJOYABLE STAG IS PRESENTED
Dr. Dedman Congratulated on Excellent Ability to
 Secure 'Live" Acts

The regular monthly stag of the Bir- mingham Athletic club was presented last night in the clubs massive gymnasium before the largest gathering of members this year. Practically every seat was occupied when Dr. James E. Dedman, chairman of the entertainment commit tee started the programme at S:3O o'clock and from then until near midnight the attendance was continually amused by the excellent offerings.
 The bill presented a great variety of artists From grand opera to ragtime constituted the vocal end of the enter tainment, while all sorts of dancing, of all ages and selections. proved the choice of Birmingham's entertainers were on the bill.
 The Hawaiian effects of the programme, especially the artistic" dancing, made the Init" of the evening. number of other offerings spoke well for the pro- fession.
 Dr. Dedman was congratulated on his ability to get the real Tive act to pre- sent to the members. It was the third stag given by the club, and it can be safely predicted that the attendance at the next one will be even greater if the word is spread that Dr. Dedman is se- lecting the acts. The club members ap- preciate his successful efforts.

Coaches Kelly. and NoOjin in Birmingham Yesterday
 on Business

Coach Thomas Kelly and Faculty Di- rector Lonnie Noojin of the University of Alabama were in Birmingham yes ,terday- on business affairs. Both at tended the stag at the Athletic club last night. They will return to Tuscaloosa today.
 The baseball prospects are looming better each day. said Coach Kelly. We have a very formidable array of stars, and can see no reason why winning aggregation will not be developed.
 Our main card will be Turkey Roman. the finger Turkey is in excellent form at the present and the coming season promises to be a banner year for him. At the conclusion of the present year Turkey will go to the St. Louis Cardinals for a trial. I think he will probably stick in the national pastime.
 Although our basketball season, which recently closed, was not a huge success, we are perfectly satisfied with the results. The team played we'll for a freshman aggregation and we expect it to prove one of the strongest in the south next year"

initial sack well and appears to know the game. He can also give the ''old apple some hefty wallops. Burke is a great little player. but undoubtedly lacks experience, which will prove a severe handicap. He's fielding fine, however. and is also damaging a few of Moley's horsehides.
 Caton and Clark are working more like a combination every day and Moley will have mighty fine pair to figure on double plays from this source. Danny has his eye on the ball already.
 Another newcomer who is making a mighty fine showing is Lewis Duncan, the strapping big outfielder of Moley. Duncan, who has been called every name from Albert to Ned and who was called Pat with Grand Rapids in the Central league, where he played last year. is a real son of swat. This youngster, who will tip the beam at about 175 pounds, slams the ball something unseen before in these regions, He can also field well and handles himself like anything but a big man. He will be played in center field.
 A bet that must not be overlooked in the mad scramble over the new corners IS Cecu COOmDS. tne nam stay last year in the outfield. Cecil has his old slugging eye back anc he, too. is damaging Moley's horse hides. Unless the old jinx gets after Cecil again, he should have a great year.
 Homer Haworth and Tommy Toland, new catchers, look like real receivers, and Red" Smith, last years first string receiver, will have to show some class to oust either of them. Moley thinks well of them both.
 The pitchers cannot be judged very well yet, and they have not whipped their "soupbones'' into hurling form. However, it's a safe bet that Moley will have one of the strongest staffs in the circuit.
 Lee Farley, shortstop. and Ray Jansen, utility player, have not had real good opportunity to display their wares, but Moley will look them over mighty well before he passes them up They'll get a fair trial that's a cinch.
 There's this much to say about the prospects thus far-they're mighty, mighty good and then some.

Baron Pilot Has Squad Youngsters Redwood Who Loom Up as Prospective Stars-Only Four Members of
 Roster Absent From Camp
By FRED BoDEKER

With all but four members of the roster present. Manager Molesworth Is working his squad of youngsters overtime to make good use of the ideal spring days. Eighteen Barons are now in the fold.
 Word was received from three of the absentees yesterday. Eddie McDon- aid, the Baron third sacker last year, wired to Moley that he would not be here until Monday on account of the sudden illness of his mother Eddie resides in Albany, N. Y. Elmer Ponder, the big Baron hurler, also dropped Moley notice that he would not arrive in camp until Monday on account of unexpected business duties at his home in Tulsa, Okla.
 Emmett Perryman has been granted his request to report to Birmingham on April 1. The preacher is train ing at his home town, Stork. Fla He writes Moley that he is in excellent shap and expects a banner season.
 Doc Johnston, the fourth absentee and first sacker secured from Pitts burg, is momentarily expected to ar rive in the city. Doc dropped Moley line several days ago saying that he would be few days late. It was ex- pected, however. that he would arrive here yesterday. Moley stated that he was expecting him at any moment.
 Nevertheless, the practice at Rick wood continues, and noticeable prog ress is being made. The sore limbs and everything else that goes with the first practice of the year has dis appeared, and the crew is beginning to move around like real ball players.
 Moley is working his men about four hours a day at the present and next week the time will be heightened to at least six hours The afternoon practice is brief, but is a stiff one while in progress.
 The infield, as it stands, is com- posed of Webb at third, Caton at short, Clark at second and Burke at first. This would give the Barons an inner defense of real youngsters The work of Webb and Burke, two newcomers, makes a better impress sion every day. Webb plays the

Chica go. March 14-sI see where Ed Walsh is not on the White Sox reserve list. Excessive massage put him out of baseball two years ahead of the tune ne should have been through.
 Thus spoke well-informed man who has followed the destinies of the South side ball club for many years. Walsh was a peculiar hurler. He was called upon to work often. He never shirked, but he did insist on having his arm ruooeo' Every day the trainer had to apply the soothing lotion and the muscle kneadng. Walsh insisted on it. He was rubbed before the game and after the game. and sometimes in between. Massage was his hobby and he took it in the liberal portions that man generally demands when the things he wants costs nothing.
 Fellow players demonstrated, but he knew Wasn't he the greatest pitcher Of his time? He was. Didn't he dust the hostilities off the plate with great regu- larity and more effect than the others? He did.
 So he had his arm rubbed morning, noon and night, so to speak
 Rubbing says King Brady of the Cubs, lis only artificial exercise. A mus cle becomes sore from overwork or from a sprain. The trainer rubs the sore spot to stimulate the circulation of blood which, of course, removes the soreness The same effect could be obtained by proper exercise, but one resorts to mas sage to correct the one local fault. Exer- else would put a strain on other muscles which already are in shape.
 If a player, such as a pitcher, has had his arm treated to excess he has sub mitted to just that much more artificial exercise, which in the long run saps his strength.

SOUTHERN LEAGUERS STRONG IN CAMP OF
 ST. LOUIS BROWNS
Tod Sloan Fighting for Out field Berth-JacObsOn Is Biggest Man in
 Camp

Palestine Tex, March 14.-If size counts for anything a majority of the new Browns will have no trouble in making the American league grade We take pleasure in introducing the newest Jones' men as follows:
 Baby Doll" Jacobson, an outfelder, is the biggest man in either big league. Fellows like Jeff Tesreau, Jim Vaughan and George Ruth probably will weigh more, but they will not measure up as much as the Little Rock Southern league) graduate. He weighs 205 in fighting trim. The Baby Doll. was the champion hitter of the Southern league last season, nicking the apple for .346 mark in 139 games His bevy of 176 hits Included 2S doubles, 15 triples and six home runs. He swiped IS, bases, a theft that looms up impressively for bulky bird, Jake swings from the right.
 Yale Y. Sloan, already nicknamed Tod by his teammates and camp fol- lowers, halls from the Rochester Qnter- national league) team Like Jacobson, he is out for an outielder's job and has had previous big league experience with the Browns Sloan played 112 games with Rochester last season and put together a batting average Of an even .3uO. Agalnst this Walter Holke, the St. Louis boy, now with the Giants and teammate of Sloan's, hit .3A, being the league leader. Sloan's extra base hitting wasn't excep- tionally heavy, but he stole 29 bases. He is big fellow, built along good lines.
 Finley Yardley. also an outf1eld recruit, is a Charley Barrett pickup, hailing from the McAlester CWestern associatiton) team. In 137 games last year he batted .2S6, getting 21 doubles, one triple and four home runs. He pilfered 43 bases, the most impressive part of his 1916 perform ance Yardley is also a big fellow, be- ing a dead ringer in size and facial ap- pearance for Pitcher Bill Fincher, who was with the Browns last spring.

Out at Redwood field, where the Barons are daily undergoing workouts in preparation for the opening of the 1917 Southern league season, a certain finger is working for all he is worth to round himself into the proper condition. This is Karl Black, the lone Baron southpaw.
 If there ever was player who had his teams cause at heart that is Blackie. He has been with Birmingham two years now, and on the eve of his third year looks better than ever. Blackie is one of these fellows who works like a trojan. And, incidentally, he is one of those sort of players all managers like to have on their semi-monthly pay rolls.
 Karl. who's real name is Louden- slagher, has an interesting past. Blackie started his professional baseball career in his home town, Ironton, O., in 1912. Ironton was then in the Mountain State league. He played there for 1912 and had a fine season, pitching 700 ball, which means winning more than third of his games.
 The following year Karl was back with Ironton and he had another good season. He averaged $50. From Ironton, he was sold to Mansfield in the Ohio and Penn sylvania league, where he also made good in a rush. He pitched .600 ball there. The following year the league disbanded and he went to Huntington in the vir- ginia league
 From Huntington he was sold to the St. Louis Browns for his initial big league trial He was sent to Montgomery for seasoning He pitched the entire year for Montgomery and worked in more games than any other pitcher in the league. He also had the reputation of being a bad character" He is supposed to have

The season of 1916 saw a flock of new baseball records made and many notable events on the diamonds of the country, both majors and minor. Players during the coming season will have numerous marks to shoot at" The records wound up with the longest game ever hung up in a worlds series, Boston de- feating Brooklyn in IA innings.
 Four no-hit, no-run games were pitched in the big leagues-three in the Ameri- can and one in the National. The pitch CTS who performed these brilliant feats were Leonard of the Red Sox, against St. Louis; Foster of the Red Sox, against Washngton Bush of the Athletics, against Cleveland and Hughes of the Braves, against Pittsburg.
 Grover Cleveland Alexander, the great pitcher of the Phillies, set up new "whitewashn record by pitching IS shut out games. The old mark was 1S, held by Mathewson.
 Zach Wheat of the Brooklyn Robins made one or more safe hits in 29 consecu- tive games. In the 29 games he poled a total of 45 safeties
 The New York Giants won 26 games, and in doing so shattered the long, standing record of 20 straight, made by Providence in 1884.
 In losing 20 straight games the Ath- letcs tied the American league record for consecutive defeats The Mackmen also hung up a new mark for defeats in one season with IF games in the lost column against 113 registered by Wash ington in 1904
 Jimmy Walsh and Heldon Wyckoff, traded by the Athletics to the Red Sox, were the only pastimers to leap from a tail-end outfit to the worlds champions.
 The iron man. stunt, or pitching and winning two games in one afternoon, was performed by four big league twirlers. They were Davenport of the Browns pitching against the Yankees. Peritt of the Giants against the Phillies, Alex ander of the Phillies against Cincinnati
