 second exhibition game of the spring season this afternoon when they tackle the Howard collegians at Redwood field, the game starting at 2:So o'clock. The first affair was staged with the Bewishurg team Sat urday, when the fans were given free menu. It is announced that cover charge of 40 cents will be asked for the Howard series, that sum admitting the fan to any seat in grand stand or bleachers >The second game with Howard will follow Sat urday.
 For the benefit of the uninitiated. however, my warning is: beware of the box seats. X new coat of green has been given the seats and rail- ings and Tuesday I carried a story to this effect. Tuesday afternoon I went out, and while leaning over the railing talking to Phil Douglas and Howard Burkett the green wore off until my suit looked like St. Pat rick's day placard. Watch papers for announcement of suit entered against the Birmingham baseball association.
 Waded Through
 In preparation for the Wednesday game the Barons waded through about four hours of practice Tues day, couple in the morning and duo in the afternoon. The word waded is used advisedly, as there were times when shower or so but ted in on the play and left the field rather the worse for wear.
 Moley announced the following lineup for >this afternoons attrac- tion Morham. ss. Kane, 2b Tice, c. f.; Taylor 3b.: Rymer or Williams. r. f.; Traynor, h.. simon or Gooch. l. f.; 10th, C., and Dodds and Varda- man, pitchers.
 Young Howard Burkett hasn't been in camp long enough to iron out his muscles for nine-inning contest, and as a consequence. Morham, who worked with the Cincy Norwoods last year will be on short. Johnny (Sugar) Kane is holding down the keystone in the absence of Stuffy Stewart who may never come back. Sutffy is working out with the Pirates in Hot Springs. and those who know Stuffy realize that he has a knack of im- pressing a manager and making the boss Of the show realize his worth to ball club Tommy Taylor, the old reliable, will hold down the torrid corner. and Traynor has been given the assignment of looking after first base. Neun, who came to the Barons from the Blue Ridge league, where he hit over .340, has made quite a favorable impression since landing here and many of the fans will be surprised that his name does not ap- pear in the lineup. Neun, however. finds himself very much in the same n Hr1yA yAkt l.. in camp long enough to train his muscles for nine-inning battle. Rymer a swatter
 The youngster Rymer, who has al- ready caused so much comment by his swatting proclivities. will be used in right field this afternoon, providing his game leg has rounded to form. The strenuosity of the first weeks | campaign left one thrilby in bad shape and Rymer couldn't get in the Saturday game against Lewisburg. Tice win hold down the middle gar den and either Dewey Simon or Gooch will look after left field. 10th is slated 10 do the catching. He work ed in the Saturday game.
 Although the majority of the clan are in pretty good shape, some of the boys baked at getting muddy Tuesday and didn't show up at the park for work. They evidently fig ured that the intermittent showers had left the lot In too bad shape for work.
 Neun Is Speedy
 Johnny Neun has dazzled the rail birds by the speed he has shown around first and they have already come to know his prowess of scooping low throws and grounders. He has an ideal build for first-sacker. and there are many who believe he will be Moleys choice for initial sack hon ors when the season gets under way However, he must battle for the berth with Herbert Brenner, who finished out the season with the locals last year and with young Arthur Traynor. who also looks like a good baseball prospect.
 Dodds, heralded as one of the most promising of the rookie pitchers will make his second start on the slab in the Wednesday encounter. The big boy was selected to start things last Saturday. The Lewisburg boys It into his delivery with a vengeance and vardaman, the ex-Georgia State lleaguer was sent to the rescue. How ever, Moley pointed it out that the youngster had gone in with instruc- tions to lob them through. Fans will be more able to get better line on him in his work this afternoon.
 Everybody Is in camp now with the exception of Knox Henderson who has been granted until saturday to report, Doc Silva, Spoke Emery and Young, a brother of Ross Young who has been kept out of the spring camp because of Illness, Catcher Robertson and Outfielder Harry liar alr n the here
