boss, who had quite a little say at Redwood yesterday. the club now has new policy in regard to dis position of star players whose talent has been developed by Manager Molesworth or who has been secured in other ways. Under the new rule, tho Baronial club will conserve It's playing strength as much as possible, that is, 1t will hold its experienced and star players as long as possible, without depriYIng players of their chance to show their wares in, big league uniforms, of course. when they have a chance to make good.
 T don't believe in holding any player down." Boss Rick stated. 9But am convinced that sending. up player before he is ripe for the big show is the wrong policy.
 Hereafter. any player whose tall ents have been developed by the Birmingham club to such an extent that he is valuable man to the club. the Barons will hang on to him as long as possible"
 This new policy will enable Mana ger Molesworth to have a substantial nucleus around which to build his team each spring. It will also give Birmingham chance to enjoy fruits of Moieyian efforts in developing stars. fruits in the past enjoyed by clubs of higher classification than the Southern.

The BaroniaI hurlers are an over worked set of players these days, fwith two pitchers usually required to finish each game. Occasionally the starting hurler gets by these days. but more often he does not.
 It will probably fall to the lot of Kari (Mike) Eberhard to pitch the first game today. John Dewey Nor rison will more than likely start the second affair, and If Admiral lawn Dewey is anything like right" he will more than likely finish the game. Although he was hit hard the other day by the Travellers when he made his 1921 debut at Redwood, Worry showed whole gobs of form and should win his start today.
 Moley will probably have to draw lots to decide whom to send to the mound Monday.
 The Pitching Situation
 As it looks now, only three Baron hurlers are In shape to turn in \ winning brand of ball. They are Phil and John Morrison and Karl Eber- hard. Doc Newton and Earl White- hill are still suffering from sore arms and 1t will probably be several days before either rounds into shape again.
 To add to Moley's troubles, the two double headers today and tomorrow call for added pitching strength. Keep Star Players, Is
