Two Early Birdn

Two Early Birds
 Two pitching lads, who were scheduled to come in with the regulars the coming Monday, couldn't wait. They docked in Birmingham Thursday and an nounced to Manager Moley that they were ready for work. A right handler and a left -hander- Eddie Frenick and Roy Meeker.
 Frenick is the likely youngster who started out with the Barons last spring and was kept in camp until the season was well under way. His inexperience told, when the batters got the range, however, and he was sent te the Columbia club in the Sally league for further seasoning. Frenick made good his word, which he gave upon leaving Bir- mingham: Just watch me" he remarked upon leaving the Ham I'll be back" And, sure enough. here he is. He had a good year in the Sally and his work war ranted his return to the Magic City for another trial.
 Roy Meeker is the little left handler who pastimed with Moley in 1920. Last spring Moley sent him to the Virginia league, however, and Meeker immediately proceeded to set the league ablaze with his phenomenal pitch ing. Now he comes back for an- other trial.
 Meeker and Frenick hail from the same town-Kansas City.
 May Need Left-Hander
 The comeback of Meeker is rather apropos, when one sums up the Baronial situation. Moley may need left-hander this sea son more than ever. Fans have been working on the theory that Lefty Whitehill was a sure bet, but such is not the case. The graceful little southpaw, who gave the Barons such valiant service last season belongs to the Pirates at present, and George Gibson may think so well of him that he will not send him back to Birmingham.
 The Pittsburg club has a habit of latching onto prospects that look good and carrying them on the payroll. Last spring every one figured that Moses Yellow horse and Whitey Glazner would / be sent back to the minors. The Indian and Whitey looked so good in spring work, however, that Gibby decided to keep 'em. Yelfowhorse was a bit of dis appointment, but Glazner proved one of the finds of the season and almost pitched the Pirates to a pennant Whitehill may come back. but it's not a sure bet by any means.
 Stuffy Stewart Missing
 And while we are about it we might call attention of the bugs to the fact that Stuffy Stewart is by no means a safe bet for sec ond base this summer. Stuffy was sold to the Pirates last fall and he is at present working out with the Pittsburg squad at West Baden. Few fans know this, but it is a fact, nevertheless. Of course every one would like to see the popular and brainy little keystoner come back to Birming- ham. but at the same time they are pulling for him to make good in Pittsburg. If it was left up to Stuffy he had rather play in Birmingh than sit on the bench in Pittsburg and if he can't be given plenty of work up there the chances are that he will ask to come back to the Ham"
 
 on major league ball clubs, be- ing kept in the utility role. He had rather be in the game all the time in the minors than be used in the pinch in the majors. Re- ports from the Pirate camp in the Pittsburg papers, however, al- ready tend to show that Stewart has impressed Gibson with his work.
 Internal Machine Lands
 Came queer looking package in the mails Thursday morning addressed to the writer and bear ing an Ashland, Ala, .postmark. l unwrapped the package and found inside the paper box bearing the trademark of the Winchester company. Might be an internal machine?
 Lifting the lid of the box, how everf found muchly used American association baseball. Wotthehell?
 In the bottom of the box was letter which explained every thing. Here's the letter:
