Another Baron Will Probably Be Added This Week, Bring ing Roster Up to Limit of Eighteen

Joe Dunn, jovial pilot of the Bir- mingham Barons, has announced hIs final pairing of his 1923 baseball squad, and given out the names Of the pas,imcrs who, in all pro ba.Iity will compose the Baron club until the end Of the 50 days allowed each manager to cut h1s team 10 mid season size.
 Here arc the men Joe Dunn will re- tam, as announced Sunday night:
 lnfieIders - Flip Neun, Danny Clark, Tom Walsh, Tommy Taylor and Bill Meekin
 utfielders-sump Clarke, Jake Mller and Arthur Trefry.
 Galchcrs-Glaude Robertson and Cecil ttammond
 lltehcrs-Phii Morrison, Earl Whitehiii, Red Bates, Waiter Stew aIt, Plateau COX, Sill Gray and Tom Daniels.
 The above roster shows 17 play CTS retained, one under the IS player limit allowed during the first 5o days of the season.
 Another Baron Coming.
 Manager Dunn stated Sunday night that addition of one more player would probably be made some time during the present week. ole Dunn didn't state whether the new player who is expected in camp in day or so, is an infielder or outfielder. His catching and pitching departments are thought to be lined up thoroughly to his satisfaction, so it is proba ble that the new Baron will be an out fielder or infielder.
 Only two releases were ncces-
 sary to trim the squad down to
 regulation size. Herb Brenner
 was released Sunday to the De-
 catur, Ill.,, club of the Threc-Eye
 Ian nd Dunn announced
 that Tom Abbott, catcher,
 would be released Monday morn
 ing.
 Joe Dunn's 1923 squad is certain every man is an experienced pas ly a promising one. Practically retainedBill Meekin, Vivian semi-pro timer. In fact. only one of the men Bill Meekin, Vivian semipro has not had one or two years eX- perience in organized baseball AL though there is not real old-timer in the bunch, from standpoint of age, experience in the national pas time seems to be the rule. Several of the men have had Class A experi- ence, an even larger number have served two or three years in Glass A, while practically all have had B or c experience. Dunn has squad that, while young and fast has had enough experience not to crack under mid season fire.

 Opening Line-up.
 The Barons open the season Tues day at Chattanooga, and Dunn stated Sunday that the following lineup would probably start the game:
 Trefry, If; Noun, 1b.; Taylor, 3b.; D. Clark, 2b; Miller cf. s. Clarke, if. Robertson, C.; Walsh, ss; Nor rison or Whitehill. D.

 Just whom Coach Charlie Brown will send to the mound is prob lematical, but Babe Ruth Graham may draw the assignment.

DON'T OVERLOOK
ANY DIAMONDS

Kimberley was going back.
The farmers were disgruntled.
They said they couldn't exc a
living from the rocky soil.
And all the time, their ragged
youngsters were playing with
diamonds!
But the farmers didn't know.
Many of them died poor. They
thought the priceless gems were
pebbles.
Some folks are just like those
Kimberley farmers. They seek
opportunity in some distant
place and overlook the wealth
that is daily within their grasp.
Advertising is a diamond mine
of opportunity. 1t tells of values
you would probably overlook if
1t was not there to guide you.
Don't miss the advertisements
in this paper. They save money
and make it for you!

WHEN SUPREME COURT

Three quarters Of a century
ago the State Supreme court
met alternately in Americas and
Talbotton, the first session of
that court having convened in
the latter town in January
1864. .Talbotton was a meeting
place for the Supreme court
by the second section of the
Constitutional Amendment. This
second section Of the amendment
provided that the court should
be held on the fourth Monday in
January and July in each year
for the second district, to be
composed Of the Chattahoochee
and Southwestern circuits alter
nately at the two towns.
The first judges of the Su-
preme Cour, n years ago were
j. II, Lumpkin, of Athens;
Eiram Warner, of Greenyille,
and f. A. Nisbit, of Macon. Jas.
NJ. Kelly, of Perry, was reporter
for the court and r. Z. Martin
of Milledgeville, was clerk.
At this term of the court, the
following gentlemen, members
of the bar of the Superior courts
were admitted to practice in the
Supreme court: A. Iverson, Hines

WHY PICK ON POOR
OLD HENRY FORD2

Henry Ford admits he posses
ses the original zone track mind
of the world, and he is proud OF
of it. Indeed, he has a right to
be, for it has yielded him a for
tune Of something like $500,
100000 in 20 years. Aside from
manufacturing cheap-priced au-
tomobiles, however, Henry does
not shine so brightly. Declaring
all history is bunk he places the
Revolutionary War at or
around 1912, and he says that
Benedict Arnold was a writer
or something" He he's never let
loose of a dollar without seeing
half dozen coming back in re-
turn, and his war profits and the
manner in which he kept his son
out Of military service never won
Kim a diploma from the Ameri-
can Legion.
Despite such record, how
ever, presidential straw votes re
veal the strange tact that Henry
Ford is runm 9 away ahead Of
anyone else whose name has
been mentioned for the greatest
office with.r he gift of the
American pop .. Of course,
year ahead of 4 pr 'gidential elec-
ton always is a silly season in
politics, but if It may he assam
cd that strdws snow which way
the wind blows, Henry Ford is
gong to create m5t than Il pass
ing zephyr in the 1924 preeiden-
tlal campaign He is causing
much concern to both the major
political parties, and if Ia final
iy decides 20 carry through"
next year is going to see a jum-
ble that congress may be called
upon to unrayCL
There is no understanding the
mass psychology that makes Ford
candidate for the PRESIDENCY.
Beneath it all, to be sure, is dis
satisfaction with existing condi-
tions, but why this unrest should
1rystalize in Ford-for-President
movement is inexplicable. Here
is John D. Rockefeller, who has
given away $50O,OOG,0O0 to COM
bat disease, advance the cause of
education, and otherwise aid
humanity the world over, vet he
couldn't be elected to any office.
Along comes Henry Ford, who
has devoted his life to piling up
a fortune for himself, and rides
high on the wave of popular es-
TEEN.
Perhaps you can explain it; no
one else can.
