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 to Dan McGufiln Os course Hirsig and his old associates still own it. Rut to escape from the injunction against the old association they have turned everything over to Dan McGugln, who will form a new as sociation Os course It may trans pire in time that the new associa tion will buy out the old one, but we hardly expect to see It happen The old association is restrained legally from allowing Its ball club to play In the state of Tennessee. Rut there is nothing to restrain the old club from playing for the new association And there you are. Rut note this: Nashville will not have any more Sundat hall for a long time, unless they can get a bill through the legislature allow ing ft, which isn't probable Over in Memphis they are hold ing their breath for a legal action similar to the one that crabbed Sunday ball In Nashville would have the same effect in the Rluff City. And Memphis, without Sun day ball, would he a queer place, in deed. • • • 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- MATT McGRATH IS SHOT WHILE CHASING ITALIAN NEW YORK, May 28.—Matt Mc- Grath. the world's champion hammer thrower. was nearly lost to the Ameri can Olympic team as the result of a,n Italian's attack. McGrath, whois a po liceman on the New York forte, was shot twite while chasing the Italian, who was charged with attempting to kill a man in Harlem. Roth bullets entered the fleshy part of McGrath's left shoulder and inflict ed wounds that were painful, but will not interfere with his going to Stock holm, though he will he relieved from police duty for some days. JOHNSON SETTLES DOWN TO HARD TRAINING WORK EAST LAS VEGAS. N. M . May 28. Training work at Jack Johnson's camp settled quickly into routine today. Th? big champion, eager to get down to hard work at once, mapped out a p'c gram of road work and gymnasium stunts that will fill his time for the next week All the work will b» done in the open. Carpenters are putting a big platform in the back yard of the training quar ters and there Johnson will furnish daily entertainment for hi.- spurting partners.
