Pug Allen played his first year with the Barons last season, coming to Birmingham from New orleans, via Brooklyn. The Barons secured Allen in the Bert Griffith deal. which sent Griffith to Brooklyn, and later to New Orleans.
 Robertson is Experienced
 Robertson is veteran of three years standing with Da1lasi and was considered the class of the Texas league eatchers last season. Only the need of a good outffelder caused Dal- las to part with Robertson, stated Proxy Smith.
 The new catcher secured by the Barons will be only one of the many good backstops to report to Manager Molesworth this season. In addition to Robertson, there are several ex- perienced catchers, including Tony Brottem considered the best catcher in the Southern league until sent to Pittsburg by the Little Rock Travel CTS. Brottem was secured frcm the Pirates by the Barons last fall, and will be on hand to compete with Robertson for first string honors.

 Simpson at Shades-Cahaba.
 Hueytown at Bessemer.
 Jones Valley at Jefferson county
 Alliances application for admission into the league was denied because of the distance from Alliance to Birmingham, league officials stated
 Last years constitution and by laws were adopted for the present year with a few minor changes The 21-year rule stands good still meaning that a player who was 21 years of age when the present se- mester began will be ineligible to play in the league this year.

PITCHING ACES OF
 WORLD SERIES ARE OFFERED FOR SALE
Barnes and Douglas Are Placed on Auction Block
 by Giants

New York. February 2o.-Pitchers Phillip Douglas and Jesse Barnes. each of whom won two worlds se- ries games for the New York Na- tionals last fall were placed on the market to be disposed of to the club offering the best inducement.
 The proposal to sell the players was unexpected in national baseball circles. Charles Stoneham. presi- dent of the club, said that when it was decided to get rid of Barnes and Douglas, several tempting offers were received, but declared the own CTS would wait until Wednesday to announce which they would accept.
 Douglas and Barnes were the only Giant pitchers who had not signed 1922 contracts. but this fact, Mir. Stoneham said, was not the reason they had been placed on the market. Douglas was one of the Giants best pitchers last year. while Barnes, who had trouble with his arm during the regular season, proved an ace in the worlds series.
 The Giants also announced the re- ceipt of @ telegram from Mrs. Free Toney. stating that her husband. a Giant pitcher. was i'll at his home in Nashville, Tenn, and thus unable to report for early season limbering up at Hot Springs, Ark. Mrs. Toney did not state the nature of Fred's illness.

Forty-three Teams Entered
 The State High School Basket ball championship tournament. which opens az the B. A. c. Thursday has doub1ed-up within a years time. Coach Erwin stated Monday that 43 teams were entered in the competition, whereas, last year only 21 hi squads vied for honors on the hardwoods. "The interest is run ming high, too," said Coach 1sr- win, and from the advance queries we've had on the tourna- ment, it looks like attendances will go far beyond last years record, as we'll The town will be full of basketeers by the latter part of the week."
 The Mystery Club
 Every team in the Southern le.>yue has named it's manager for 1922, with the exception of the Atlanta club. And. while the manager in name hasn't been ap- pointed as yet, the fans know that Charlie Frank will be the real boss as per usual, when you get right down to cases. The Cracker club, always strong on veterans, is going in even stronger tkan ever for octoge- marian ball players this sum- mer. When Roy Elam, the former Baron, was brought over from the Galveston club of the Texas league, it was hinted around tlfat he was to be placed in Charge, but no definite statement has been made as to this. Besides, veteran Ellam, there is the an cient Bill Raricen, the venerable Erskine Mayer, the antiquated Ed Manning. and even Sammy Mayer is no longer looked upon as a spring chicken. And to cap the climax, the Atlanta club found out that Cyrus Barger was a free agent the other day and signed him. Cy was page In Congress when the Declaration of Inde- pendence was signed
 Kircher to Meridian
 Ran across Gevrge Kircher, the jesteR yesterday. George. who formerly pastimed with Nashville and Atlanta as clown of the show, and who later served in the Texas and Virginia leagues. hoped back into base ball last summer, after a years retirement. He pastimed with the Meridian club in the Cotton States league, and announced that he will journey to Meridian to decorate it's infield again this summer.
 Frank Kohlbecker. who mys- teriously disappeared from Class A baseball and wound un at Meridian. is to be manager for the Mississippians again the com ing summer, and George and Kohlbecker are warm personal friends. George says they tried out three managers last sum ser before Koaley finally got the job. Ollie Mills preceded Kohly and George and the for mer Little Rock catcher were eross-ways with Mills. As mat ter of fact he gave them notice of their release while the team was on the road. When t got back home, however, Mills re- ceived the tinware, Kohlbecker was placed in charge and George retained his job. He had a good year on the infield and drew more laughs than ever with his comedy stuff.
 Now that Judge Landis has quit the courts and will devote his time exclusively to baseball, he will try and manage to strag- gle along on the $42,500 annual slary that o. B. gives him. Judge I.andis probably decided that no man who amounts to anything in baseball, can sit on the bench.

Dallas, it might be said that he stands something more than an eveh chance Nto win the first string iob with the Barons. He hatted around .2S5 for Dallas last season. and caught over Ills games for the year. lf catcher who can average over it0 games per season is a regular truck horse for work, as old timers say, then Robertson should be d sus- cess from the start. for he did1 that with Dallas every one of his three years in the Texas league
