Ensley Jacket Squad Begins Its Baseball
 Practice Yesterday

Coach Hovater's Yellow Jackets re- ported for their first practice Monday afternoon and held a short, snappy workout About 30 men made up the squad. among which were only five old men.
 The squad is composed of likely bunch of recruits and under the able tutelage of Hovater snould develop into a fast, smooth working machine. They are expected to be able to give a good account of themselves.
 The old men who will return and were out for practice yesterday are as follows: Duncan, Scokel, McArdle, Williams and Peck, wno made both football and basketball letters.
 The bunch, altogether, is rather in experienced and no one is certain of any position. The greatest problem which now confronts Coach Hovater is the developing of couple of good hurlers and the complete rebuilding of his outfeld, There is also a lacl. of catchers among those present, which is another cause for worry.
 Among the most likely of the recruits are Rosenf1eld, letter man of 1918;

A BARON A DAY
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

There's one veteran Baron re- turninfg to the fold this year who needs no praise to become per sOnage of importance among the local fan flock. and that Is "Stuffy" Stewart, peppery little second baseman who was ranked among the first three in tn eSOuthern league last season
 "Stuffy" is an experienced ballplay- CT, one who has had his fling al big league trials, but who has been placed in the minors for further seasoning. Stewart, while a sensational fielder, is a steadying member of the infield, rarely losing his head and always giv- ing the best that's in him.
 Stewart got his start in baseball in the old Georgia-Alabama league about five years ago. Since that time he has played in various minor leagues, finally ending up with the St. Louis National lengue club. Philadelphia Nationals got Stewart from the Cards and Bfr- mingham was fortunate enough to secure him from Gavvy Cravath at thee lose of the framing season last year.
 Stewart played a re1lable game
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-03-08

throughout the season last year. His fielding was entirely up to standard, while his ability to get on base made him an ideal lead-off man.
 Stewart has plenty of speed in his trilbies and it was a favorite stunt of his last season to lay down a bunt and beat the throw to first base. He was one of the best men the Barons had at working the squeeze play. His speed on bases scored many runs for the Barons last year.
 While Stewart hit the ball for an
 average of only about .2S6, his
 bingles were timely. ~Stuffy" was
 a reliable batter fin the pinches,
 his speed and brainy play enabling
 him to get on base somehow and to
 advance the runner a peg or two.
 "Stuffy" was well liked by fans and teammates alike last year. Perhaps 1t was because of his poppy" disposition and his aggressive styse of play. He made the Barons splendid man at the keystone. and should repeat this year.

POLAR IS EXPECTED TO USE WRISTLOCK IN TONIGHT'S BOUT
Champ Has Handicapped Him. self for Bout With French man-Good Match Is
 Promised

Whether Eddie (Strangler) Lewis is able to defend his wrestling title with out the use of his famed headlock will be decided in his bout with Frantz zolar at the B. A. c. tonight, Eddie having promised semi officially to lay off his headlock tonight, and will rely entirely on other holds m his repertory to pin the shoulders of the husky Frenchman to the mat.
 It was while dining with "Old Dollar Bill" otherwise known as Henry without his neck-breaking hold to- night. Old Dollar Bill suggested that Lewis seemed to be having a walk away in bouts with contenders for his title. Eddie lowed as now he guessed he was.
 "Why don't you give some of
 those birds chance and lay-OM
 that grips" cautiously ventured old
 Dollar BILL
 "Just what I was thinlSin' about.1

 made. Lewis said he would not

 Eddie Lewis claims that he has got new hold, seldom seen by the fans, which will do all the defending his title needs. According to Eddie it's something on the order of a paralyzing grip on the wrist, wnicn weakens his opponent and renders the arm affected useless for minute or two. N On the other hand, Frantz Zolar claims he has double wrist lock that would make Eddie forget everything but the magic "calf rope" once the grip was applied. According to ad- vance dope, this grip is something on the order of a double hammerlock, with little wrist action worked in.
 The fact that Lewis is champion makes him prime fayorite for tonights bout, but without the use of his fa- vorite hold he will probably have h!s hands full in disposing of the 1.-the Frenchman r
