Baron Team Will Make Strongest of ’Em Go Some
By Percy H. Whiting.
THE Nashville club has found
away out of its difficulties.
By beating the devil around
the bush a couple of times, crossing
its tinges, changing its name and
by going through a few similar le
gal gyrations, it has escaped from
the clutches of the law
The way the Nashville club got
itself out of trouble was by making
a phony transfer of the franchise

z-aARLKTON MOLESWORTH has
brought quite a remarkable
collection of ball players with him
1 to Atlanta It's a club that is good
enough to lead the league now and
it threatens to finish so close to the
front that it will crowd the leaders
mightily.
Molesworth has some of the same
old gang -that team that didn't
lack but one real player of winning
the pennant last year. In the lot
are Rill McGilvray. always a
mighty hitter. Rill Foxen, Atlanta
i cast-off. Roy Ellam, speedy infield
er. Marcan, also a speedy infield
er. Jimmy Johnston. playing a
grand game this year in the out
field; Mcßride, and Prough, a
pitcher who has "been up there"
and come back again.
> Bill McGilvray is known to the
fans as a fair fielder and a really
good batter. The players know him
as a master of vituperation and the
most dangerous man of the league
to "sick" on a nervous pitcher
When Bill McGilvray takes up his
position at third base and opens up
his battery of billingsgate it is
marvellous to hear. Yet. so artisti
cally does he work it that nobody
hears him but the pitcher and a
few of the opposing players. Rill
megaphones It with his hands to
his lips and It must make callous
spots on his paws as it passes out.
n<OLESWORTH is using several
new men this year. Notable
among them are Almeida, Carroll,
Dilger. Hardgrove. Smith and Boyd.
Here i«, something about each man:
R ALMEIDA —He is the newest
of Barons He comes from Cin
cinnati. where he played with bril
liancy last year, acquiring a batting
average of .313. It is reported that
after John Kling waived on this
man he thought it all over again
and then hired a strong man to
kick him for letting such a tre
mendous batter get away.
CHARLEY CARROLL—This lad
,is being carried as utility man.
b-ast yeai he played shortstop for
/the Greensboro team of the Caro
lina association, where he batted
1287 and fielded 926 Dale Gear and
■Mike Finn both liked him so well
■ that they offered to buy him from
j/Molesworth. but ( ;>advs" decided
'f b- irg on
/ PICKLE" DILGER H- i on-
Jr of tht team's new catchers. He
hails from Kewanee of the Centra!
association, where he backstopped
with credit last year, hut batted
.222, which is rather more feebly
than the law requires.
808 MESSENGER—He is back
fmm the White Sox with th* Baron
team again this year. Messenger
was a wonderful player in the
Southern in 1910. He batted .285
and stole 13 bases. Also, he fielded
962 and was a very marvel. He
didn’t shine In the big show, for
some reason we can't seem to un
derstand. but he ought to make
Molesworth a peach of a man this
year.
"BUGS" HARDGROVE—This
one came to the Barons from Mon
mouth. 111., in the Central associa
tion, and Monmouth is his home
town. He w r as formerly with the
Indianapolis team, but went down
with typhoid and after he recovered
was shipped back to the bushes.
H* won 18 and lost 13 games last
year. He averaged two bases on
balls, seven strike-outs and gave
up an average of seven hits to the
game last year. In the entire sea
son he made but three errors.
CLARENCE SMITH—A new one
and a bush leaguer, this chap, but
a corker, they say. He hails from
Birmingham and got a try -out last
spring with the Barons. They sent
him over to Anniston, where he did
well last year. Now he has stepped
up a few pegs and is doing well
with his home club
RAYMOND BOYD —A man who
looks good on past records and
recent performances is this Boyd.
He was born in Indianapolis, but
worked last year with Ottumwa.
Ohio. He led the Central asso
ciation. with 39 victories and 7 de-

which would mean plenty of cash,
and. that is what Jack wants
Perry, as usual, has nothing to
say in regard to the outcome of the
fight. . Jimmy came to Atlanta in
hopes that the climate would help
his lame hack And now he saysf
it is practically O. K.. and that he
will enter the ring tonight in the
best of condition He had to pcsi-—■
pone his debut in New York on
ariount of his back, but he says if j i
h° wins tonight he will leave for '*r

ma tones with Eddie McGoorty, Bob
Moha and the rest of the top
