 Just how many Barons will report here on the 24th is rather uncertain on ac- count of the fact that the wherea bouts Of several of them is still unknown. Debuss, Coffindaffer and Glazner, pitch CTS, and Danny Clark, second base, are still in Europe and may not be back for a month. Sheehan, first base, Duncan ana Altenberg, outfielders, are in the army in this country but expect to get thelr discharges soon.
 While in the service Moley signed up two other youngsters by the names of Williams and Morrison but his letter to President smith fails to state where they play when they expect to be mustered out of the service. Bernsen is now in New Mexico but will report promptly and try to redeem himself for his poor show ing at the initial sack last season. .

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 15.-Liquidation of the long interest in the old contracts continued during the first hour, after which the market improved on the be- lief that this liquidation was more than half completed, and that the short in- terest in the nearby positions had not fully realized what the change in con- ditions of the contract meant, in view of the difficulty of finding the grades in the south upon a deliverable bas, in New York. Fluctuations are rapid, on account of these old contracts
 where at times it is difficult to bring buyer and seller together. The weatn- CT throughout the south has been not of a character as to enable planters to make much progress during the week and the new crop is becoming badly delayed.-Hubbard Bros. & Co

nautical. Hammer man Ellis has been wintering in Harmony, Minn., since be- ing discharged from the army. The bis boy writes that he will be right on the job when the call comes.
 WEBB IS COMING
 Eddie Mcdonald will of course show up among the early corners. Eddie is go- ing to have a tough time beating Billie Webb out of the third base assignment this year. Webb has signified his inten- ton of reporting, and will most likely make a place on the team somewhere. Karl Black, the old faithful. has at last been sold. The noted ''grunt" ball artist has been transferred to Shreveport, in the Texas league
 From the above it will be noted that the Baron outfeld, Duncan. Altenberg and Ellis, will undoubtedly show up in time to start the season. The infeld, however, may have to, get along with out Debus and Clark for a while. Bern sen and Sheehan are the first basemen under contract and Mcdonald and Webb are the third basemen, while ClaYpool, the kid, will hold down short until Debus arrives anyhow.
 Much is expected of Hairston, who comes recommended by J. J. Smith, prominent broker of Meridian, Miss, who was formerly one of the best anna teur players around Birmingham. Mir Smith is the man who discovered Danny Clark and he writes that Hairston should burn up this league with his bat. Haworth the first string catcher, and one of the best in minor league base ball. is already on the ground.
 It's a little early to predict, but if Uncle Sam lets all of the Barons out of his employ by the middle of April, Birmingham will have an awful good start towards a first division team.

LONDON MEN ARE
 NOT GOOD WALKERS
During Tube Strike Many of Them Did Not Know
 the Way Home
By Associated Press

London February l5.-There is d legend in the United States that Eng lishmen are great walkers. If they are. the recent strike showed they don't walk in London. When this strike forced Londoners to walk they didn't even know the way home Policemen were amazed. One big bobby" who keeps the traffic straight at the foot of Ludgate hill declared that "city' business men had kept him busy tell ing them how to get to some of tho best known localities in London the first day of the strike.
 Its past belief" he commented with some indignation, that a man can ride on a bus for years between his home and his office and still not know the way when he has to foot it."
 While the strike lasted great queues formed at the bus stops There was enc at Hammersmith estimated to be nearly mile long. Men, women and children struggled desperately to ride. Some of the women carried babies. Many of the men were crippled sol diers in hospital blue. Some of the chil- dren were pale little girls, faint from weariness.
 As the tube strike was co-incident with a strike of walters and kitchen staffs, thousands of hotel residents had to do their walking hungry.
 Overseas men, home for demobiliza- ton, emerging from railway stations with their heavy kits. discovered they would have to walk to the other side of London.
 London is certainly mean to me-" said an American soldier cheerfully. Last time l visited here on leave there was bus strike. The time before the taXis had quit
 British Tommies during the tube strike stopped royal air force lorry. throwing their kits into it while they bargained with the driver to take them to their destination.
 Many West End business houses put their motor delivery vans al the dispos- employees. In the huge and endless pro- cession of pedestrians homeward bound of an evening it was curious to Ameri- cans to note the large number of old people-mostly men--gray- -haired clerks of the shops and "city" brokerage of fees.
 Besides delivery vans and lorries, many rode in Red Cross ambulances. Thousands were awheel rusted bicy- cles having been brought to light from many a basement.
 Girl conductors showed skill and patti ence in the emergency The conductor cites kept watchful eye on the strug- gling crowds for the hospital blue. "Full-up, except for that lame Tommy" you would hear her cry, and the crowd would fall back to let the limping and embarrassed soldier through to the cov- eted place.

America to Control
Silver in the Future

Washington, June 1S.-Up to this
time a few London brokers have
controlled the worlds silver price.
Ray Baker, director of the U. S.
Mint, backed by the Pittman dollar
silver bill knocked the London plan
to bits by clever official control
of the silver minimum. Now comes
the announcement that a great tri-
umvirate, composed of the Anaconda
Company. the American and the u.
S. Smelling Companies. will be or
ganized under the Webb law, to
handle all silver exports and to pro-
tect American silver producers from
foreign domination and price con-
troll. The reaction of silver from
$1.20 the maximum, reached when
the white metal was thrown into the
open market-to $1.10-believed to
be brought about by European COM
bination, forced the action of the
American interests.
