back. For the rest of the team only records and comparative showings can be used as a basis of computation of strength. A completely new outfield will be working for the Barons, and a practically new pitching staff. The outfeld, however. is one that has good record behind it in baseball Of Class A and lower.
 One man of the three the Baron fans know-Howard Camp, obtained from Memphis. Camp is Q good hitter and fast right fielder. He was one of last season. The locals obtained him from the Chicks in the trade in which Holt Milner was involved.
 Three other outfielders of known reputation will be among the tryouts. Ernest Tex" Jeannes, obtained from one of the best fielders and hitters in the loop. The Cubs were after Tex, but Secretary Billy beat them to the deal and snatched him up. An offer to buy him from the Barons by the Cubs was turned down. Foster Ganzel, from Floyd Trcxler, from Danville, Pied mont league, were both leading fielders of their respective loops.
 Many Pitchers
 In the way of pitchers the Barons have Arthur Olsen and Sam Hyman, from Detroit; W. E. Gray. Tom Dan icls, E. P. Twombly, T. N. Hunter, w. w. Hackney, Paul Bennett, Carl Dun agan, Lawton McWhirter and "Red" Bates on the list for tryouts. A num- Der of good men are included in the list, and Gray and one or two others were given tryouts with the Barons last year. Olsen and Hymap are con. sidered good boxmen.
 In recent deal the Barons obtained Roy Spencer, first string catcher for Augusta, Sally league, who will be given chance as an understudy for "Pop" Robertson. Spencer has a lot of experience and should make the with one year of service as second string catcher for the Barons, behind him will again make a stab at alter mating with Robertson behind the plate. David Cochin of DanvilIe. Pied mont league, is the other candidate for backstop.
 Brenner at First
 First base is open to new men, Herb Brenner, who held down the sack until Flip Neun returned from the biz tons last season, will again be on hand for the opening work. Harvey Mcdonald Of Dover, Eastern Shore league, comes to the Barons highly recommended as a first saeker and will be given a try out. Alfred Young, of the Augusta. (Saiiy league) team, is another promist ing youngster to try for the place.
 Charles Tooley of Oakland, Cal, made such an impression on Baron scouts that he will be transported across the continent to try for shortstop with the locals. Frank Kane, slugging third baseman from High Point, Piedmont league, is one of the leading contend CTS for Brausen's bag. Kane also plays outfield.
 Some score or more semi-pros will be given look over for pitchers and catchers by Stuffy in addition to the men mentioned above. There will he probably some number above 50 dia- mond performers apply for uniforms and lockers next Monday when the Barons send out the call for men.

Tyler Makes
 Good Score
 AtGunClub
Many Shooters Take Part In Registered Tourney
 Of Local Club

The one-day registered tournament of the Birmingham Gun club came to a close Saturday afternoon with 26 shoot CTS competing in the different events. The program called for 800 targets from 16 yards and M. C. Tyler shot a most remarkable score when he only missed seven targets in the 300. It was a more creditable piece of work as the wind was blowing gale causing some of the targets to just skim the grass, while others sailed on up like sky rockets. When MT. Tyler went out in the first 100 with only three down, no one believed that he could repeat the performance again, and while he went out with three down in his second 100 he staged another 9S in his last 100 and received the congratulations of the shooters who were striving to make a half way decent score. R. A. Yancy of Jackson, Tenn, (owner Of the famous goose who is mascot of MT. Yancy) was on hand and shot second high anna teur. While Mir. Yancy made a splen- did score ne shot somewhat below his average on account Of the dreadful cross wind 2: the traps. I. M. Crum was in third place among the anna tours. E. F. Strader was high profes- sional for the shoot with a fine score, While R. C. Brown came in for second place among the professionals with nice score also. MT. Brown has been shooting targets only q few weeks and has been improving from week to week and looks like he will soon be a real topnotcheT.
 Simpson Joins Shoot
 w. A. Simpson, the new western man located at Anniston, Ala, was on hand and shot for the first time with the Birmingham shooters. G. W. Persell of Anniston was also on hand to shoot. Dr. l.. !. Ramage of Decatur shot with the club and made a very nice score
 The long runs for the day was made by M. C. Tyler. when he broke S4. g and 55 straight. R. A. Nancy, 52 straight, and B. F. Strader with 62 straight.

PANTHER BASEBALL MEN GET BUSY THIS WEEK
Question Of Playing Freshmen On Nine Is Perplexng Bir- mingham-S Southern Coaches-Meeting Called
 Monday Morning

BirminglfAm- Southern college baseball candidates will be called out Monday
 morning for special meeting, at which will be discussed the feasibility of play ing freshmen Tho first practice will be staged during the early part of the week. f'N
 The question of the freshman ruling now is a peyplexing one for the Pan- thers. With excellent prospects, for a successful year with "rats" in the line- up, and more shaded outlook without them, the proposition Is causing con- siderable talk pro and con. Freshmen playing during the first year of their career cannot play during their last sent of the opposing team must be ob- taincd before they can be played. So the problem is a complicated one.
 The main cause of worry on this score is the pitching and catching de- partments of the nine. The freshman rule in force would eliminate "Dukie" Hamilton, Simpson star twirler last year and most promising woundman for the Panthers this year. Much hopes had been placed on Hamilton, and his loss would be seriously felt. As for catching, Mickey O'Brien, Ensley High school catcher last year and among the first in rank for the position on the
 
 scratched from the list. This would necessitate the shifting of "Bullo" Will Hams, star outfielder, to the position behind the plate.
 .a Many Positions Strong
 ?, For all other positions, the Partners have no worry. At first. "Skeebie" Caldwell, first baseman Of last years squad, a promising youngster,5 will again be out. "Skeebie' Is a reliable man at the position. Jack Stuart, vet eran first-sacker, will also be out.
 At second, Verman Kimbrough, who, due to. a bad arm, failed to make the place last year, will again try for the keystone. He may be shifted to the outfield if he fails at second. He is a good hitter, and rather than lose his work at bat he may be sent to right field. Ed Howell, who played several games, will also be out.
 ; At third base, Captain Ben Engle- bert will again be cavorting. This will be his third year on the hot corner. Herb Perdue, who failed to go out last

BARONSTOTAKEFTELD
 NEXT WEEK FOR WORK
Entire New Outfield New First Baseman And Four New Pitchers Will Be Selected From Material On Baron
 Try-Out Roster This Season

Baseball weather has hit town and but brief span of time before the crack of the ash will resound in base bali parks over Dixie. Barons will take to the field during the first part of next week. Monday, March 10, is set for re- porting day, but, as is customary with all ball players, some will come in Monday, some Tuesday and some the next week. However, before the week has run it's course Manager Stuffy Stewart hopes to have his cohorts do- ing daily work with earnestness.
 Stuffy has been in Birmingham for over week and, like a high school boy, cannot wait the coming of the squad, but Is out daily at Redwood doing some sort of work. "Toots" Bran don, second string catcher in 1922, who will get another tryout this year, and Lawton McWhirter, Birmingham semi-pro, have been out with Stewart during the past week getting in some preliminary work.
 and tired of waiting. He begrudges the days he missed in Florida at hunting and fishing when the cold rain streams down and thoughts of diamond activ- ity. Is alien even to the most ardent fan. The pas6 two or three days, how ever. have popped the peppery second sacker-manager of Proxy Smiths hire lings Up and he is rearing to go. Ireland to Assist
 Secretary Billy West announced Sat urday that Harold Ireland, former third baseman for the Phillies, and now manager of the Decatur Three Eye loop, would reach Birmingham this week tc be ready for the opening prac- tice. He has been obtained by the To- cal magnates to assist Stuffy in train ing the Magic City performers and will remain here as long as possible before reporting to his club for work.
 When the Barons start practice there will be three infield positions, the back stop post and one mound position with last years Barons back. At second base, snappy Stuffy will again do his stuff. Stewart is a fast little key stoner and an excellent base runner. He proved good leader during the latter part of last year, after taking the reins, and much will be expected of the Barons under his guidance this season.
 At shortstop, Bruce Hartford will again be ready for the call. Hartford was one of the Barons' most reliable hitters in the pinches last year, and is reliable fielder.
 Brauscn at Third
 On the hot corner, Dutch" Brausen, flashy little fielder, will contend for his regular berth against several good Hhen. oiduSeH Joineu the baronS Tn the middle of the season last year and was valuable asset to the squad.
 On the pitching staff, wide-open spaces for new men is seen. Only one performer from last season, Red" Bates, will report for duty this season. Bates failed to get going good last season, but did good work for the Barons in 1922.
 Old Pop" Robertson, Baron clean-up man and veteran backstop, will again be behind the plate. Pop" is a spry youngster for his age, as betrayed by perfectly bald spot on top of his head and he is an efficient receiver.

PANTHER GIRLS
 GET TROPHIES

Players on the Birming Southern Pantherette sextette will receive gold basketballs in addition to their letters for work this season, according to a decision made Friday by the student body which voted the money necessary for the purchase of the individual tro- phies to be awarded the girls for the work done this season on the court.
 The girls basketball season was brought to e successful close last week when the second of the games with the Howard college girls was won, winning the series for the Hilltoppers, and rnak- ing the third successive win for the three last games. the Pantherettes hay ing given the University of Alabama co-eds a decisive defeat In addition to the two handed the girls from East Lake, as.e

 some changes. "Rat" Kelly, a second- base prospect, is said to be a good man. "Bit" Drennen, formerly s7of Woodlawn, will be in the ranks of out fielders. A large number of other strong candidates will appear for the first practice. "Curly" Black, Simp- son star, will try for third if freshmen play.
 Without freshmen, Williams will probably go behind the bat. Miller may be used considerably on the mound. "Babe" Graham, Joe Wheeler and Dad Howell will be among the eligible pitchers.
 No Playing Field
 Another problem facing the Panther coaches is a playing field. The team will probably have to practice on the temporary field at the city park on Tidewater car line. The infield work will be the worst hit by the practice on this field. The outfieIders will be able to get, in plenty of work, however.
 The Panther schedule is as yet in- complete. A trip is being arranged through the Carolinas, it is understood, and possible games in Tennessee. Tur- ner Scott has been elected manager of baseball and is actively engaged in getting plans complete for the seasons opening. The first game of the season will probably not be played until late in March. Auburn may be the Pan. thers' first opponent, with possibly the Philadelphia Athletics shortly after. wards
