A BARON A DAY
By aIARvIN M,cARrHY

Johnny Kane, infielder, is another Baronial youngster whose natural ability will be entirely responsible if he comes through and wins a berth on the 1921 Birmingham team, for this, Chicagoan has had little or no previous experience in baseball. What playing Kane has done has been with semi-pro teams of Chicago.
 Along about 191s Johnny Kane de- eided he could play ball. so he se- cured a job with the Cardinals a semi : pro team of Chicago. He made good with the Cards and has been playing with them ever since. Weekly games only were played by the Cordinals, so kane's experience with this team must have been small, despite the fact that he saw four years of service with the Chicago semi-pro outfit. , This springs try-out with the Barons is Kane's first real baseball experi- ence It is rather early to be mak ing predictions, but Kane's work of the past week has been entirely up to standard.

FOUR CANDIDATES ARE RELEASED BY
 BARON MANAGER
First Pruning of Squad Done By MoIey-NeWton
 Gets Going
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Preliminary practice for the hectic struggle ahead was engaged in by Boss Moley yesterday when he brought his pruning knife into play for the first time this year. Four Baronial candi- dates were detached from the squad and set adrift. They are Triton. Grier, Freeman and Nunnaly.
 There is a mere forerunner of what is to come, for the Baronial proxy has much more business along this line to attend to. Almost 20 more candi- dates must go by April 13, and the majority of them will be disposed of before the present month is out.
 At present it is only a matter of speculation as to who will be the next to go. They all look alike at Redwood to the outsider, but Boss Moley proba- bly, has his eyes focused on the gooo and on the bad.
 The first of the week will probably see more candidates going, particular ly as others are expected to arrive at any time now.

SPORIS MOLEY STARTS CUTTING BARON SQUAD ---SPORTS
"PINKIE" IS OUT TO AVENGE THE
 HONOR OF THE MITC CHELL FAMILY

There arc many other instances N ring history where brothers have risen to a certain fistic greatness. One has to do with the Gardiner boys. Jimmy was mighty clever welterweight in his day, while his brother George was for some years king of the light heavyweights. Spike and Dave Sul- ago and rank among the toughest of the tough. Tom Sharkey had a brother Jack, who went in for ring warfare, but never got very far The same thing is true of Mauro Herrera, brother of Aurelio Herrera, who al- ways will be remembered as one of the most terrific hitting lightwei ghts that ever lived. Monte Attell was fair sort of fighter but, of course, never reached the ring greatness of his brother Abe. Jimmy Britt, one of the leading lightweights of IS and 20 years ago, had a brother Billy, who might have become a world beatter har he gone in for professional fight ing. But Billy stayed away from the pros" and devoted his efforts to bas- ting in the amateur rings. His per- formance there was of a startling na- ture. George Chip and Joe Chip each attained considerable ring greatness. Billy Papke, a former middleweight cnamplOns naQ a DrOLner WnO IOuRn[ under the name of Young" Papke The Wallace family sent five brothers into the ring. All of them adopted ths name of Gross" Leach became the greatest of them all. But Louie, Phil and Monte also were far beyond the average. Sam never went very far as fighter, quitting the game after he had suffered his fir3t knockout.
 COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT
 Mike Gibbons ever will be remem- bered as one of the greatest of middle weights. but his brother Tom, now ex- tremely active in the ring, still has a chance to reach heights of greatness equal if not beyond that of Mike The younger Gibbons started out as welterweight, jumped into the middle weight class in hurry, and is now light heavyweight. He Is still pick ing up in tonnage and nurses the hope of getting crack at Jack Dempsey in the none too distant future.
 If he does, I think I will have little money riding on him." asserts Brother Mike. T never won cham pionship myself. but I am hopeful that Tommy can do something that was im- possible for me-"

 'Pinkie" Mitchell Is determined to avenge the honor of th family.
 The youthful Milwaukee light weight is seeking a match with Benny Leonard for the primary purpose of beating up the champion. and so mako all things even for Benny's act in beating up Ritchle. his older brother.
 This reminds one of the fact that, in prize ring history. there have been many brothers who have tried to get square for the defeat of the other and usually with disastrous results.
 Years ago Mike (Twin) Sullivan was pushed into the same ring with Stanley Ketchel and was knocked out in the first round. When brother Jack heard about this, he promptly chaI- lenged the Michigan assassin" and was given chance to redeem the family honor
 GETS HIS ALSO
 Jack Sullivan put up a mighty bat tie against Ketchel for 19 rounds. but in the twentieth Stanley, reached him with a terrible right-hander and Jack went down and out, as had his welter- weight brother.
 Soon after Jack Johnson disposed of Jim Jeffries in Reno, the brother of Jeff launched hmself upon A ring career with the thought in mind of re- gaining the championship for the Jef- fries family and the white race. But Jack Jeffries never amounted to much in the prize ring and faded from view almost immediately after he flashed there.
 Clarence Forbes fought Frankie Neil out in San Francisco some years ago and was given quite an artistic beat ing. This angered Harry Forbes, his brother, who was bantamweight cham pion at the time. And Harry pursued Neil and finally got him into the ring in San Francisco.
 TABLES TURNED AGAIN
 Now" sneered Harry Forbes, "ru get even with you for what you did to my brother Clarence.,' But Harry Forbes never secured that revenge, Neil batted him up badly in the first round and won the championship for himself by knocking out Forbes in the second. That was on August 13, 1903.

SKY PILOTS SHY AT
 "N0SE-HEAW JENNY"
 IT TENDS DOWNWARD
By Associated Press

Washongton, March 1s.-The nose heavy Jenny is the way army air folks described one type of JN plane which. until recently, made the lives of it's pilots miserable because of it's tendency to bur row downward in flight.
 The defect that sent the machines down by the head unless the aviator kept hauling them up with his control stick baffled the experts. Nearly 800 army planes of the type were not being flown because of it, the air service bull letin says, but the engineering chief at Dayton field has reported in the words of the man who flew the first modified Jenny that ''She ain't quite so nose Eeavy'' now.
 The problem was finally entrusted for solution to the heaviest and most pow erful aerodyamic experts extant, two privates, first class and second lieu tenant" the chief said After much W worry with if. they discovered something by an authority on airplane stability which gave them clue and by the ''un. orthodox and radical procedure" of turning the tail section plane upside down seemed in a fair way to cure the complaint. It would take lot of mys- tifying language to explain it, but t worked.

AMSTERDAM BOOSTED
 F OR 1928 OLYMPIC CONTESTS BY BARON

Paris, March 1s.-Baron Pierre Decou- bertin. president of the international Olympic games committee, has asked the French members of the committee to SUD- port the application of Amsterdam for the 1928 games in return for the expected award of the 1924 meet to France.
 The international committee will hold its next official meeting at Lausanne, Switzerland, June Z, and is expected aft erward to announce the site of the 1924 games The cities of Paris and Lyons are both strong applicants for the world famous international meet if it should be awarded to France.
 Baron Decoubertin also stated in his communication from Lausanne that he would not complete his term as president of the international committee, but did not announce the date of his proposed resignation. He gave as his reason for resigning that he felt the Olympic games had overcome all opposition. and by in- ference expressed the belief that they had become permanent athletic fixture.

third base in admirable fashion yes terday and unless Taylor, Texas leaguer, to arrive Monday, shows lots of stuff, the young Chicagoan looks like the man of the hour at the tor rid sector.
 Kane is feet 10 inches in
 height, weighs 185 pounds and is
 only 2I years of age. He bats from either side of the plate,
 changing over from left handed
 (his usual style) to right handed
 when sOuthpaw enters the box.
 Kane fields and throws the ball
 right handed.
 There are many promising infield candidates at Redwood, but Kans looks capable of holding his own with any of them, outside the veterans, and he certainly has the spirit necessary in a good all-round ball player.

Prep League Teams Getting Ready for
 Local BalI Seasor,

With heAopening contests of the Jeff ferson County league only a little more than two weeks away, the local prep tutors are driving their men at sharp pace and their teams are rapidly round ing into shape. Several practice and regular Scheduled games will be played by the league members with schools not entered in the pennant fight before the opening gun is fired, and all the hines are expected to be in tip-top condition. The initial contests will be engaged in on April ', with Central meeting Ensley and Simpson encountering Bessemer. Jefferson loafs the first day.
 The prospect of the entrance of the Shades-Cahaba High team into the cir cult is very pleasing and every effort is being made to bring about this develop ment The advent of this institution would bring the total number of con testants up to six and 1t would not be necessary for one team to be idle cer- tain days. The Shades school is said to possess the foundation for a good outfit and will probably make things interest- ing if she enters into the league race. <
 BETTER AGGREGATIONS
 The veteran members of the league are showing up better aggregations than were at first expected and the race will probably be close one. Central is the fs.vorite with most followers of the game and the Avenue institution members seem to have a well based prediction when they foretell the fact that good season will soon be under way at the Crimson cottage.
 Jefferson County, last years pennant winner will sorely miss the services of Rives, Keith and Little, who furnished most of the kick in last years nine. The Jefferson coach has had pretty hard time building up a good organization and although this years team is not considered as good as last year
 figured to be contender in the race.
 Simpson school is showing some unex- pected development and will figure strongly in the final count. The Junior Partners were first doped to be in a pretty bad hole for good material, but Coach Reynolds has discovered some very promising men in the last few days. The Sunshine Slope Juniors will embark on an extended pilgrimage to all parts of the state for about ten contests, about midseason.
 The Bessemer Tigers did not tear up the league last season, finishing last ill the standing, but are out for blood this year The Purple and White has a very gcod foundation for a winner. almost all of their old men having returned and some gifted new performers being out for the team. Ensley has raft of new material out for the nine and Coach Hovatef has been making much progress in building up winner. Many football and basketball stars are showing the same aptitude at the national game, and the Gold and Black are banking on their team, to have a great season this year.

 TAYLOR REPORTS MONDAY

Doc" Newton got in his first real workout yesterday, when he pitched several innings for the Regulars in the practice game played at Redwood Doe" has been out in uniform be- fore but warming up has constituted all of his previous workouts this spring.
 Newton looked pretty good in the box yesterday. Most likely because he is not yet in condition, Doc" was hit fairly hard by the Yannigans, but he showed some class, nevertheless. New ton has a good fast ball, and that was almost all he used yesterday. He did not cut aloose with anything fancy in the game yesterday, as he Is not yet in shape for anything like that
 Taylor, the Texas league third base man, reports to the Barons in another day or two. With the arrival of Tay- Tor the hot corner situation becomes more complicated. There are several good men out for third base among whom are Kane. Taylor. Berkowitz and others.
 Kane played a splendid game at third base for the regulars yesterday. He will be strong contender for the hot corner berth if he continues the good work started yesterday.

Announcement was made yesterday by Athletic club officials that Jim Londos, the Greek husky will meet George Manigoff in finish match here on the night of March 3l. Londos is up at the top of the second raters and is sure to make good impression here. Manigoff has appeared here before. when he subbed for Rough House. Stevens on one of the B. A. c, programmes, and he won his match in handy fashion.
 LONDOS A COMER E Londos has met all the big ones in wrestling and he has made a good show ing against each. It took Ed Lewis, heavyweight champion. over an hour, plus headlock. to pin Londos' shoulders flat. The husky Greek is a scientific grappler and, with an athletic build and a wildcat fighting spirit, he has proved tough customer for whoever has cared to take him on.
 Manigoff, while not so well known as Londos is nevertheless a fair wrestler. In his match here the first of the year, he displayed quite a bit of science in pinning his opponents shoulders flat. He is a veteran grappler and has risen about as far in the game as he ever will but he is a formidable foe for anyone.
 INTEREST IN WRESTLING
 Interest in wrestling has been only fair in Birmingham this year, but since the first appearance of Ed Lewis here about a month ago, the mat bugs have gradually been coming out of their shells and the atmosphere is now filled with the humming of these individuals.
 While neither man is what one could actually term a top-notcher, they seem very evenly matched and will more than likely stage a close and exciting match when they meet at the B. A. c. on the night of March 31.

How ever, 1t is hoped that at an early date Steve will return to the Cap- stone and get down to business on Denny field. -5.sy
