The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-02-26

But. some of 'em can't wait. F'rin- stance. one rookie has already re- ported to Moley. blowing in from Dayton. Ohio. Saturday morning. This boy is a sturdy youngster by the namc of Hatfield. He comes 10 the Barous on the recommendation Of 'ackstop HungIing. who caught for Memphis last season. Hungiins touted the youngster so highly last fail that Moley signed him for 3. spring tryout, and now he is hers to display his wares.
 The earliest Baron to report played with deaf and dumb col- lego team last year. touring the south. He was tho only man on the team who could speak and hear. and he had charge of the outfit. Hatfield has relatives in Birmingham and will pay his kin visit before the spring training gets under way. just one week hence.

 The following rockies are sched- ulod to start warming up exercises at the Wood Monday week:
 Pitchers; Charles k. Allen, with Manchester. Ga. semi-pros last year, r. C. Nardaman In Georgia state league in 1921: Manley Field, semi pro with Berry Ala, last year; Joe E. Freeman. semi-pro with Taliadela last year, Arthur w. Light, Bir- mingham semi-pro; James Pace, To- cal semi-pro; Lester l.. Sweetland, Florida semi-pro; Luke Williams aud J. r. Chambers. semi-pros from Mo bile; E. J. Frenick, out on option 10 High Point; k. R. Nichols, out on option to High Point: Knox Hender- son with Knoxville last year.

Remson. of Sylacauga: R. Y. Gardner, on option with Martinburgh in 1921; J. H. Neuen, with Martin burgh last year; Herbert Bremen. with Barons latter part Of last sea- son: John $. Kane, with Meridian m Mississippi State league in 1921. Thomas Miller, semipro from New Orleans and o. R. Lucas, with ths Alabama Tennessee league last year. Traynor. brother to Pie.
 Of course Tooter Brandon is looked upon as a regular now, by virtue of the fact that he held down a job in the Baronial catching department last year, and it is not required that Tooter report until March 6, along with tho other veterans. However, he winters at Pratt City, his home, and it is probable that he will find it extremely difficult to wait. Foot CT will probably don a uniform next Monday, and so will Red Bates. the lanky pitcher from Cliff just a few miles out of Birmingham. Moley is expecting great things of the gang ling miner the coming summer in a pitching way.
 Moley announced Saturday that he- cause of the large array of rookie talent which will report, it will ne- cessitate two training sessions per day right from the jump-one in the morning and another in the after noon. He is planning to wait until the sun is well up for the forenoon workouts however, and will have the afternoon sessions immediately after lunch to take advantage of the warm sunshine.
 Exhibition Game Scheduled
 Secretary Billy West announced Saturday that the schedule for exhi- bition games had been completed and announced the dates as follows:
 Lewisburgh at Redwood, Satur- day. March II, composed of young sters trying out with Barons.
 University of Alabama at Tusca- loosa. March 24.
 University of Alabama at Rick wood. March 25.
 Toronto at Redwood. March 30 and 3f.
 Chicago White sox at Redwood, April i.
 Louisville at Redwood, April 3.
 St. Paul at Redwood. April 4 and ,.
 Detroit at Redwood, April G..
 From the above list it may be seen that only two big league teams will grace Redwood field this spring. Oddly enough they both come from the American league. the White Sox and the Tigers. Last year the Bir- mingham park ran more to National league outfits, the Senators being the only American league club that stopped here. One International and two American association teams will be on hand for battles.
 Regular Squad
 The regulars who will come along week later are: Pitchers Roy Meeker. Bill Statham, Mike Eber- hard Red Bates. and Earl White hill catchers: Brandon and Robert son, the boy recently acquired from the Texas league. Infielders: Stuffv Stewart, Sumpter Clarke, and Tommy Taylor. Outfielders: Harry HarpeA Doc Silva and Spoke Emery.
 This array of talent will give Boss Moley and Shutter Matthews almost a half hundred ball players and al- leged ball players to put through the stunts by the time the veterans arr rive iii camp. Matthews. who will assist Moley in coaching the youns- sters and weeding out the superflu- ous and impossible tossers. is ex- pected in town some time this week, when he will go in conference with ! Moley and the two of them will map out more definite plans regarding ths training
