 'The total contributions made by Alabama Baptists since the launching cf the campaign until January 3l, 1922, was st,3O1.l34 This is more than had been given to all missions and benevolences for period of five years prior to that time. The total number of baptisms in Alabama in 1919 was 9536. a record up to that Gate; in 1920 the number increased to l2.7S6, and in 1921 to more than 20.000

Wanted To See Tooter

Wanted To See Tooter
 Saturday was one of the few days since Moley has arrived that Tooter Brandon hasn't been by baseball headquarters. As luck would have il Tooter failed to show up Friday and Tommy wanted to get In touch with him. Tooter and Tommy buddy togeth- CT when the team hits the road.
 Never will forget one day over in Nashville last summer" said Taylor. "Tooter gave unique record in baseball, and believe I'm the only third baseman who ever got an assist for a strikeout. A man was up to bat with two strikes. He struck at the third and Tooter dropped 1t. Absent mindedly Tooter shot the ball to third base, instead of first. Of course l wasn't looking for throw and it's wonder the ball hadn't hit me in the mush. How ever I looked up and saw her coming and just had time to throw up my hand. l grabbed the peg and relayed 1t to first, and we got our man. But, believe me, I think it's the only time in baseball where the third strike was dropped, the catcher chunk ed the ball to third and the third sacker chunked it on over to first for a putout."
 Three Men in Camp
 With the arrival of the clown of the show the number of men in camp waiting for Monday to arrive was boosted to three. Catcher Hatfield was the first to arrive and Tooter Brandon has been hanging around all winter waiting for spring There are also a bunch of semi-pros around Birmingham who will get try outs with Moley and who are waiting for the roll call Monday.
 Shutter Matthews, the old Baron catcher and minor league manager, who will help Moley in the capacity of assistant manager this spring is expected to arrive in town Sunday and by Monday quite flock of rockies will hit the trail to Redwood for the initial workout. Moley ann unced Saturday that two sessions would be held daily from the jump, providing of course the weather man acted decent and threw on some coal and sunshine by Monday. With fair and warm CT weather booked for today and q gradual rising in the tempera- ture forecast 1t is thought there will be enough return of spring by Monday to start the work.
