A BARON A DA Y
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Doe" Newton, big right-hander, came to Birmingham from Baltimore through deal whereby local moguls purchased him outright from the h. ternationals the first of the year. Newton is d big fellow and his rec ord with Baltimore last season would indicate that he stands at least an even chance of winning a berth on the local team this season.
 Moley has a rather nifty squad of promising hurlers working out at Redwood each day. In fact, indica- tions are that the Baronial pitching staff this season will be as strong as any in the Southern league. Although he has not yet donned uniform. some of the wise ones are saying that New , ton will make the team with ease which is saying quite bit for the bis fellows ability.
 HAD A GREAT YEAR
 Newton, had a great year with Balti- more last season. He won five games for the Orioles one of which was a shut-out. He lost two games for a per . centage of .714.
 'sDoc'' ranked fourth fin the In-
 ternati0naI league in the matter of average number of earned runs per contest. Newton gave mp an average of only Z.41 earned taIIies for each nine inning game pitched.
 Newton pitched 56 innings, allowed 55 hits walked 25, struck out 24 and hit three batsmen. He allowed 1s earned runs.
 It can be seen that Docs" record with Baltimore last season was an ex : cellent one, even though he didn't pitch as many games as some of the other Oriole moundsmen.
 Newton hasn't been out in uni- form yet this season. He has been wintering in Birmingham, and at present is employed by the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company.
 "Doc" stated yesterday that in

 PITCHED COLLEGE BALL

This young moundsman broke into professional baseball ranks in 1916 when he joined the Baltimore outfit. He had been playing ball on the Uni versity of South Carolina before enter ing professional baseball.
 Newton joined the service md
 lost many months of baseball while
 serving Uncle sam. After his dis
 charge from the army, Newton re-
 joined the Baltimore club, but was
 sent to BrantfOrd in the Michigan
 Ontario league. ,He was recalled
 by Baltimore last year, finishing
 the season with the Orioles.
 Doc" Newton should come through and make the Barops winning pitcher. He has the bdild and is said to possess the pitching assets of win ming hurler. If he lives up to his past records in professional baseball, 1t will be all that any one can ask of him.

AK TO FALL EARLY

The wedding out process oy the way, will probably begin earier this year than has been the custom in the past If Moley let too many of 'em loose at once, it would make for congestion in the outgoing trains It was being whispered around at Rickwood Friday that some of the boys would hang around only long enough 70 flno out the exact location of left field. It may be that the ax will fall In a number of instances, even before the workouts are well under way.
 Thirty-six athletes limbered up nt the old orchard Friday. Not perfect SC by any means.
 MAY GET OVERALLS
 Not enough uniforms to go around for this mob. So many nondescript unies that the Barons and would be Barons looked like the Nashville club in mid-season, when it came to wearing apparel.
 Bill and Jim Robinson, the twin battery, however, managed to get couple of unies. It may be that Bill will beat Jim to a berth in Class A company. He's had more experience, being a couple of min utes Jim's senior. Or maybe it's vice versa.
 Was just thinking what crime 1t would be if MOley got Bill and Jim mixed up. You know rookie must do just what manager tells him. What If Carlton told Jim to take the mitt and get behind the bat, and had Bill in the pitching role. Two ball players would be ruined-just like that.

 Anything is liable to happen in the spring, but it looks like Moley's catching staff will be made up of two young gentlemen, whose re- spective names start with G and B.

 A RIVAL FOR STUFFY
 Stuffy Stewart was out doing everything that was to be done Friday. Stuffy is almost in condi- ton now. He has been wintering in Florida, and has been playing a deal of winter ball. They told me that the reason he was referred to as "Stuffy" was due to his ex- cessive appetite. It is said that MT. Stewart did more than a child's part toward destroying the sea- sons food crop last year. All I gotta say is that I don't believe he can touch Cliff Markle's record. The Atlanta pitcher has eaten / himself out of almost every league he's ever been in. I've seen Cliff run. up s3.75 breakfast bill on morning that he admitted he wasn't feeling the best in the world.
 This Drake is stocky duck. He is tSying for a pitching berth on Moley'.s staff, having graduated from the FIorida State league, where he went exceptionally we'll.
 NAMES SOUND ALIKE
 It may be that MoIey will find young Mosely to be phenom and the very man he needs for the in field. Of course, that remains to be seen. Mosely played third base for the championship Thompson team of the Million Dollar league last year and he hit .375. He was hitting against some of the best minor league pitchers in the coun- try, too. for you know how Class A stars hoped to the Million Dollar circuit last summer. Moseiy is a third sacker, but he may be, tried out at short.
 ONLY THREE ABSENTEES
 With the arrival of three more men the roster will be completed. These men are Tommy Gallagher, pitcher; Pug Allen, outfielder, and Taylor, third sacker. The two former are coaching college teams in Florida and will be delayed a week or so. Moley is not worry ing. however, as he knows the Florida sun will do more for them than the Magic City climate at this season of tha war
