Old-Tin,e Manager of Spiders Inuented
 Intentional Pass
Fly JAMES J. CoRBETT

No practice in baseball provokes stronger criticism than that of giving in- tentional passes. And to Patsy Tebeau, pilot of the famous Cleveland Spiders, goes the credit for the introduction of this baseball strategy.
 Few men ever identified with the game were greater students than Tebeau He knew every trick and every artifice of the pastme-and used most of them at one time or another. It was his agile brain that conceived many of the tricks that are now in common usage-and one of these was the intentional pass.
 Years ago when Cy Young, the "old rail splitter was the star finger of the Spiders, the willy manager introduced the intentional pass and for iong time afterward, was roundly condemned But eventually Tebeaus strategy won un- usual usage.
 It happened one afternoon when the Spider team was in bad shape for pitch CTS. and Young, with a slightly sore arm was forced to go to the mound. One of the weak hitters of the opposition club touched him for single and the next man reached first on an error, sending the original runner to third The next batsman was the slugger of the opposi- ton outfit.
 INyENTS PLAY
 At this juncture Tebeau rushed over to Young, instructing him to intention ally pass the batter. Young was little surprised al the order. He asked the reason for it and Tebeau pointed out
 Your arm isn't in very good shape today and this fellow is tough. You can't fool him very well when you're right. So why take chance of letting him knock it out of the lot? Put it where he can t hit the ball and we will take a chance on the next batter
 The great righthander followed orders. He tossed while the crowd sat in puzzled d pitcher intentionally send batter to first
 The next batter--the presumed weak which put his team ahead and gave the Cleveland audience a chance to hoot and jeer at Tebeau. But Patsy wouldn't con- cede that the play was failure
 Later in the game when the score had narrowed down to a one-run lead for Cleveland similar situation came up. Once again Tebeau instructed Young to intentionally pass the heavy hitter His orders were carried out and the next man hit into double play, retiring the side
 The crowd didn't boot then.
 Tebeau continued to use the play. It's uniform success awakened other man agers to the value of it. And the inten- tional pass has become a big feature in baseball combats ever since. Copyright 1921. by King Features Sym dicate. Incl

NEWTON, PITCHER. IS ALSO SIGNED UP. BY BARON BOSSES.
Pug Allen Is a Vicious Slugger. Played With New Orleans
 Last Season
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Steps towards the strengthening of the 1921 Barons have already been taken 2 by the Birmingham moguls who are in attendance at the big baseball confab in Chicago. As evidence of this comes the announcement from Chicago that two first-class players have been ' bought outright by the local club. Pug Allen, hard hitting outfielder, and "Sol" Newton, a pither highly recommended . by James c. Dunn. are the newest ac- Quisitions to the Baronial force Carlton Molesworth, round manager of the Barons, wired the news to The Age-Herald shortly after noon yester- day. Both deals have been hanging fire for some time and were only completed yesterday, when local magnates held a conference with the big league bosses. 5, Pug Allen is probably the greatest prize obtained by the Barons Another hard hitting outfielder has been the need of the Barons for the past two or three years, and Allen should fill the bill admirably. Allen was sold to the Barons by Brooklyn. but last season he was the property of the New Orleans Southern league club.
 Allen Is well known to Southern leaguers and Birmingham fans should welcome him to the fold with out stretched arms. His batting average of .274 will certainly come in handy to the Barons this year. Pug finished the sea son with New Orleans last year with an average of .274.
 A VICIOUS SWATTER
 Pug is vicious swatter. Of the 12S bn- gles collected by him last season, IS were ]. two-baggers, g were triples and were home runs. Allen stole 13 bases last season.
 Local bugs will remember Allen as the same slugger who slammed the ball over the centerfield scoreboard last year with a terrific line drive off a luckless Baron hurler.
 Allen. a big six-foot young giant. is a leftfielder. He had the reputation of having one of the strongest throwing arms in the Southern league last season, begging the ball to the plate from left field without the least bit of trouble.
 With Pennington. Silva, Bledgen and Allen, with what extra material the Ba- ronial bosses can collect, if Birmingham ooesn't have one of the best outfields in the Southern league during the coming season, then some mighty good records must be broken by those better
 NEWTON LOOKS GOOD
 '.Sol' Newton, the new pitcher bought by the Barons, is a most promising young hurler. He has had considerable expe- rience in professional baseball, being with the Baltimore club off and on for several years.
 Newton is expected to help round out the Barons' pitching staff this year into one of the strongest in the league.
 There are one or two other deals hang ing fire, it is said, that may be an- nounced within the next day or so
