DE DUNN, successor To carton Molesworth as pilot of the Bir- " mingham Barons, will not arrive in Birmingham to assume charge of 1923 spring training until some time after the middle of next month, but Joe is not idle during the days of his winter Information.
 Billy West, secretary of the Bir- mingham clubs stated Saturday that he received letter from Joe Dunn, in which the Baronial pilot discussed progress being made in the search for players for the 1923 campaign.
 Dunn wrote that he is seeking couple of good outfielders, and that he has one good man in mind now. He also wrote that he has about closed a deal whereby first-class understudy for Catcher Robertson will be secured.
 Billy West stated that Dunn had nothing definite to give out, but that something may happen before long, C. G. Allen, who twirled for the Eufaula champions last sea- son in the South Alabama league,
 will he given n try-Out with the Barons in the spring, 1t was an nounced Saturday. Allen twirled
 great ball for Eufaula and Is ex- pected to show Joe Dunn little something when spring training begins.
 Birmingham has secured a good ball player in Lefty" Stewart, states Doc Silva, Baronial outfielder who has been traded to the Texas league. Silva played ball with, Stewart in the Texas league, and states that n hop on it, and should make Birmlng- ham a good man. The Barons se- cured Stewart from Detroit.

 hall players in tow, and, although
 1t is practically certain that at

 in quality instead of quantity,
 and will start the training season
 with choice few.

Red stated that he wasn't sure just what he will do, but that he will think twice be- fore he lets the chance go by.
 T don't think Walker could knock Jimmy out" asserted Herring, and decision defeat by the champion would hurt no welterweight in the world. l may put Finley on with Mickey"

 his vaudeville career Saturday.
 kelly's '.Iocal taIent'' act at the
 Lyric came to Il close Saturday
 night. and he will probably con
 fine his efforts to pusiiism from
