RAINS HALT SPRING WORK

RAINS HALT SPRING WORK
 Moley's youngsters joined the huddlers' union Monday and pas sionately hugged the little gas stove in the clubhouse. His vets wise in their generation, shook moth bolls from rubber under shirts, donned them. and then be- gan rubbing goose greese. lima ments and other lotions upon mus cles, which had already begun to ache because of tEe disagreeable weather. There is little joy in the camp at Redwood, and even When Jack McLane sought to pep up the congregation by calling upon his vocal quartet for num- Der, members of this organiza- tion turned into music murderers. as hoarse notes struggled through frost bitten tonsils and fell upon damp. dank Atmosphere. It was just too cold and disagreeab.e for anything other than to wonder if the landlord had saved back a lit-
  tie emergency coal, or had refused to pawn the blanket supply. as part payment on an electric fan.
 PARK LIKE A LAKE BOTTOM
 Redwood Field, which had shone forth in its pristine glory Saturday, and which was still clogged with the echoes from rooters' row. as they had urged the Barons on to greater achieve ments. presented a gloomy appear ance. The diamond was as soft and soggy as milk toast and the tarpaulin, which had been dragged forth by the groundkeeper and spread over the base lines in the early morning hours, resembied an overgrown dish rag. One could gather little inspiration from look ing at Redwood Field Monday aft ernon, unless one happened to he man interested in some irriga- tion project, who had gone to the park for ideas.
 LIBRARIAN IS BUSY
 With the gloom hordes busy in decorating the landscape with dismal motif. of course outdoor sports were out of the question. As result the club librarian was forced to get busy, and as a re- suit of his labors several of the boys bored over the contents of 50-page volume. printed vest pocket size, on a loose leaf past board paper. A number seemed interested in this volume. and es- pecially when a fellow came across couple of illustrated pages at once. or three illustrated pages. he seemed exceptionally happy, and prone to shove something which looked like red, white and blue after dinner hints. though larger in size, to the middle of the li- brary table.
 EXT GAME WITH UNIVERSIT,
 Thus did the grand collection of talent prepare for their next en- gagement, which happens to he on the morrow, when they will jour ney forth to that famous institu- tion of learning. University of Alabama. On that day-Wednes- day-Moleys Mavericks will set Tuscaloosa agog, and will seek to trim Charlie. Bernier's aggrega- tion in combat de baseball. This Is an annual game, and has always { proven an annual beating for the Crimsoneers. with one exception. Moley has not announced his pitch CTS for the engagement in Tusca- loosa, but he will use the same lineup he sent against Toronto Saturday, with the possible excep- tion of shortstop.s Young Kane. the Chicago semi-pro. filled this role Saturday, and he did it ac- ceptably. Stiil. he was used by virtue of the fact that Croll and laeilman were suffering with sore arms. If the wings of these two have recovered by Wednesday Moley will probably send one of them to the short field.
