 terday. But you might get together
 list of players we have lined up
 for spring training. Maybe that will
 help the fans along, as they try to
 dope out the situation"
 It seems that the Barons have quite
 few experienced ball players on the
 lists for 1923, and the usual number
 of rockies. Last season a record num-
 Der of candidates reported for spring training, and 1t is probable that next
 spring an. even larger bunch will be
 on hand to start baseball work about
 March 1.
 Dunn Arrives Next Month Joe Dunn will arrive in Birming- tam about February 20, it was stated Saturday. Although Dunn has been busy all winter rounding up can didates for the 1923 outfit, he will not
 start active training until the first
 week In March. Redwood will be in
 great shape by then. the ground
 keeper asserts. The exhibition games | begin about the middle of March and
 continue right up until within day or so of the opening of the 1923 season.
 Billy West stated Saturday that there will really be nothing of im- rcrtance going on until after the ar Tr1a n of TN1lf Iax,
 uary 29. He stated that Baronial
 moguls have received their copy of
 the schedule drafted at New Orleans short time ago and that they, with
 other Dixie magnates, will assemble at Mobile. discuss the draft and either accept or reject 1t. Experienced Outfielders Only four outfielders have been se- cured by the Barons to date, but each Is an experienced gardener, and Joe Dunn ought to have no trouble round- ing out hard hitting outfield trio. Stump Clarke and Harry Harper are believers from 1922, while Jake Miller Is Texas leaguer secured in
 trade for Silva. Arthur Trefry was drafted from Charlotte.
 Veteran Infielders The infield still needs working on, as only few candidates are in sight ] At first is Herb Brenner, farmed out by the Barons shortly after the 1922 season began. He will probably be given opposition by additional can i didates by the time spring training | begins. At second will no doubt be seen that veteran. Danny Clarke, who
 was secured from Detroit some time ago, after season in the American | league.

 Robertson to Return | Harry Robertson, veteran backstop who was considered about the best | of his trade in the league last year will be back to take care of first string catching duties, but will have
 help in a competent second string receiver to be secured later. The pitching staff lines up very | we'll, with five veteran hurlers or 1 the lists, and numerous recruits. Here | are the vets: Earl Whitehill, Phil Morrison and Mike Eberhard, with
 the Barons last year; Tommy Daniels l secured from Spartanburg towards | the close of last season; Walter | Stewart purchased from Detroit | American association product; Johnny l Ccx, purchased from Rochester, In | ternational leaguers.
