Hurling Staff
 Real Problem
 With Pelicans

New Orleans. La. April 1o.-(Spe- cial. )-At last John Dobbs has decided upon the team that he is going to start the Southern League season with. The verdict" as the boys of the squad call it, was reached after Dobbs had obtained the advice of Doc Smallwood. the Cleveland Indians physical trainer and taken a few tips from Iris Speaker, the boss of the Cleveland rine
 And John says that, accidents barred. he will start the following as his team In the opening game of the Southern League. the men going to the plate iI the order named:
 Johnson, right field: Knaupp sec end base; Gilbert, center field; Brad ley, first base; Neusel, left field Fielder, third base; Ripperton, short stop, and DeBerry. catcher.
 Dobbs is sweet on Red Torkeison pitching the first game, but won't say whom he may choose. The "Gallatin Squash" Hub Perdue, is saying noth- ing, but Bob Dowie and DeBerry say that he is pitching like great guns and 1t would not surprise them to see Dobbs start Hub out in the first game. just to see how>Sood the old soup bone of the former spitball artist is.
 It is the pitching staff that' is go- ing to give Dobbs concern. That is why he is not sure about his man for the opening game. He has Tom Phil lips, whom he can send to the mound, and who is in great condition, and then he has Dixie" Walker, who is said to be away above his form for this time Of the year. and Lindsley, recruit dropped here by Cleveland, is begging along with the team, as well as is Jones, another recruit from the Louisi- ana State University
 DObbs says he is aftere another pitcher. From this it would be taken to mean that Dobbs is not going to start the season or go through it very long with any recruit pitchers, since Walker. Torkelson, Phillips and Perdue are old-timers. Lindsey and Jones are newcomers, but the word is that neither has impressed Dobbs to any great extent and this is why he is securing the woods for new players
 Dobbs has never used White, the catcher taken from the New York GiNnts. Meyer, the infielder. was tried, but found wanting, and Dobbs is going to farm them out to the Louisiana League. where he has sent Pitcher FL mer Amelung, who came here from Pe- oria. III.
 Knaupp, second baseman has been leading all of the men with the stick, Cotton counting for a percentage of .215 in the exhibition series. Ripper ton ranks next with .3s7. and Fielder whom it was thought would be let out because of his slump at the bat. is third with .354
 Bradley has been hitting at a 27o 'clip and Gilbert has been pasting the Fill around 280 Johnson's record shc--s only .220 and Neuse1 but 250 DeBerry has clouted at a .255 clip while Allen. the utility man, has hit around .1s0 during the exhibition games.
 On the defense the team has been pretty strong. the team fielding aver age beipS between .965 ard .a70.
 It is certain Dobbs will start the sea son with twenty players on his string as he has K1aupp. Johnson. Gilbert Bradley, Neusel. Fielder Ripperton DeBerry. Dowie. TorkeIson. Walker. Perdue. Phillips. Lindsley. Jones. Allen Mover. White Brown. Bradshaw and Febert. on the string now.

Crimson and. Gators Will
 Meet Twice.
By GEoRGE H. WATSON

University. April 0.-(SpeeiaL)- chief attraction on Alabamas menu of baseball games for .his week is couple of arguments with the Univer- sity of Florida on the local diamond Tuesday and Wednesday The Ali gators are coming to Tuscaloosa for the first time in several years. Coach Lewis is expecting his Crimson pas timers to be served with two hard games by the visitors Howard Col lege of Birmingham will come down with crack outfit to tackle the Thin Red Line" Friday and Saturday.
 Coach Lewis is immensely pleased with the performances of his wrecking crew to date, Two games were easily taken from Southern Military Insti- tute and the Yankee players from the University of Illinois bit the dust be- fore the Crimson tid in fracas last Wednesday. Games with the Philadel- phia Nationals, Birmingham Southern and one game with Illinois were post Toned on account of rain.
 The pitching staff for a while 8 worry to Coach Lewis. is looking more promising. Ire main responsibility for this was the good work of sam Hinton il' the game with Illinois. Hinton, with his mean left-handed swing, ploiuises to III the DIE gap ielt py Big Jim" Boone with ease. The calibre of the right-handed pitchers is still somewhat in doubt. McGowan. Eovater and Garcia have all performed successfully when called on.
 Alabama has a remarkable hitting team, with such sluggers as Sewell, Stevenson, l,enoir and Stacy Not a game has eeen lost so far. With the pitching staff looking up, Coach Lewis Believes that his Crimson warriors can rlay out the schedule without losing an S. I. A, A. series and thus duplicate Alabama's success of former years.

Eighteen players, the limit allow ance, have been selected as the initial terday with three releases. But listen! WORDSWORTH MAY
 BRING NEW RECRUITS
 Pilot Carlton Molesworth is in Mem phis today for quiet, but intensely earnest confab with one Barney Drey- fuss, Pittsburg Pirate mogul. Mister Dreyfuss owes us either one real carat player, or bunch of coin
 My hunch is that the Pirate pilot will offer to the Barons an infielder and a pitcher. If Molesworth finds them up to Southern Association stand ards they'll come over and join us. Whether in time for the first skirmish, we do not know. But soon.
 If Dreyfuss has nothing the Baron manager wants, then he owes us some real money for Ponder, whom we sold to the Pirates in the late fall of 1917 Ponder finished the season with the Pirates in the box and then went to war. He returned and rejoined them When Dreyfuss offered to settle up for Ponder, Molesworth said, We'll just take player instead of check, if you'll slip us one who can stand under fire"
 Barney intimated the first of the week that he had not definitely se- lected anything to offer Molesworth, but probably would be able to give him an infielder and pitcher.
 The men released yesterday included Pitcher Collins, who was sold to the Columbia, s. C., club, and Catchers Bote and Wheat. released outright. This leaves eighteen men, the allowance per baseball law, which must be cut further to fifteen by May fl. M PERSONNEL OF THE BARON ORGANIZATION Whether there will be any further releases for the present depends upon the result of Molesworth's mission to Memphis. The Baron organization completed for the opening of the sea son, with the above proviso, follows:
 ritchers-Coffindaffe Morrison,
 6s,szner, sigman, Whitehall, Meek
 CT and Henderson.
 Catchers-Peters And Gooch.
 InfieId-Bernsen, first base;
 Stewart, second base, CroIl.
 shortstop, and Stevenson. third
 base.
 outfield--ElIis, silva. Grsffith
 and Summa.
 UtfIity--Black. With the maze of kaleidoscopic changes that have been taking place all over the circuit the past week, coupled with the rainy season preventing real practice, and sizing the whole conglcm- eration up from a distance, we are in clined to give the Barons third place as things now stand. That's quite a bit better than was conceded to them one week ago.
 And we are not at all ready to fore- cast an initial defeat for the old home team when the Volunteers blow in for the first game.
