DICK ROHN SUBMITS
TERMS FOR SCOUTING
Veteran Ball Player is Selected to Scout for Birmingham—May
Hit Trail Immediately—Rohn Has Finished Season as
Manager of Burlington
n.v REDBGN A. LEWIS
CO procure recruits for the Barons,
the veteran tlrst baseman, Diq|{
Rohn, has been selected for scout
ing duty. Owner Hick Woodward an
nounced yesterday afternoon that Rohn
had submitted terms and that he might
be signed for immediate service. At pres
ent the management Js wavering about
putting the scouting system into opera
tion, but there Is a strong possibility
that It will he reported upon favorably.
Rohn 1ms just finished the 1914 season
as manager of the Burlington club in
the Central association. He had his chib
well up in the race when the curtain
fell. The prospective ivory hunter is a
former Southern leaguer, having cavort
ed at first base with the various clubs
some years past. He is said to be a
fine judge of young talent and is a warm
personal friend of Molesworth.
After winding up affairs with the Bur
lington officials, Rohn will be ready to
hit the trail and visit several minor
leagues. In case his terms are accepted
he will begin service immediately. The
Barons have favorable reports on sev
eral players In minor leagues and will
advise Rohn to give them the once over.
Birmingham will introduce a new wrin
kle in the Southern league if Rohn is
signed for service, as no other club has
a scout assigned for similar duty.

M’GILVRAY’S DAY AS
HITTER SEEMS OVER
FORMER HITTING STAR HAS
FALLEN BELOW .250 IN NEW
YORK STATE LEAGUE—END
OF CAREER IS NEAR.
Bill McGilvray's star is setting. The
•big first sacker, whose tremendous hit
ting virtually won a pennant for Bir
mingham in 1912, is faltering and the
end of his career seems imminent. Al
though the first sacker protested that
he was not through when he was shunted
from Birmingham to the minors, he has
fallen to the .244 mark with the Troy
club in the New York .State league. When
HcGilvray's days as a heavy hitter want
..
he will be forced to retire for he nevei
starred as a fielder.
Although the Troy leader persists in
placing McGilvray in the clean-up posi
tion. his willow Is not responding tc
his command. The New York State
league is not as fast as the Southern but
the big fellow lias fallen down badly
In 1013 Barge William, as he was fondly
dubbed, closed the year with a mark ol
.251. The 1912 season he slugged .314 anc
registered .301 the year preceding. In 191t
the mighty .Joseph Jackson alone sur
passed his efforts.
McGilvray opened the campaign at £
lively clip, but has slumped recently. H»
shows no signs of improvement. To
gether with Nap Bajoic and Hans Wag
ner, Bill McGilvray will pass from the
ranks of the stars.

Foundation—Baron Ob
jected Too Hard
For the reported assault by Eddie Mc
Donald in Mobile, Umpire Kerin states
that there is not the slightest foundation. |
He asserts that he is at loss to under
stand how the author of the story, ap
pearing in yesterday's Age-Herald, could
report such an occurrence. McDonald did
not touch him, but was ejected from
the game for objecting too strenuously
on his decision at the plate.
"There is no foundation for the re
port that 1 was assaulted by McDonald
at Mbbile," the genial arbiter stated yes
terday. "1 cannot understand how your
correspondent in Mobile could have had
grounds for stating it. He cjid not touch
me, or even threaten violence. 1 think
that any writer who would puolisli such
a story when it was so plainly untrue
is a detriment to baseball. McDonald
protested too strenuously and was s«nV

In a spirited batte yesterday, 4 to 0.
Portwheeler Finis Wilson blanked the
Barons in every session, while the Pels
clustered hits with Baronial misplays in
the sixth and tallied four runs off Lanky
Arthur Johnson.
Statistics will give assurance of Wil
son's tight twirling. Fourteen Barons
reached the first station, five journeyed
to second, but only one—McDonald
reached third. In the first session, one
/
Of the two “breaks of the game was
offered the Barons, but was dissipated.
Without a man out, Marcan was nestled
on second, as the result of a safe wal
lop, while McDonald was resting on first
on a pass. Carroll attempted to sacrifice,
but dumped the grounder just in front of
the plate, and Higgins forced Marcan out
at third. Stewart and McBridge failed
to deliver and the base runners were
stranded on second and third.
Jn the fifth, Covington walked and was
sacrificed to second. The following bats
men were baffled by Wilson's twirling
and “Tex” camped at second. In the
sixth, Marcan opened the session with
a walk, but did not get past lirst bast
on the three subsequent outs. In the
seventh, McBride, first up. singled, bui
again three outs were registered witnoul
an advance. The big southpaw was in
vincible, despite his penchant for allow
ing himself to give the handicap to tht
batsmen by issuing balls before strikes.
Baron Hopes Expire
Tiie sixth session killed Baronial hopes
Wilson inaugurated the telling fusilladi
with a single to Carroll. Knaupp, witl
instructions to sacrifice, failed to aecom
I lish the task. On the first strike a lit
tie short pop resulted, but Tragessei
could not reach it. The second foul tel
just out of Covington's clutch down th
first base lino. All signs of remora
among the Pels vanished when Knaup]
dumped a Texas leaguer in left field
which McBride missed by a scant mar
gin. Starr bunted down the third bas
line. Although Wilson gained a nea
getaway from second, Tregasser esaaye
nipping the twirler at third, but his throt
was wide and tardy. Walter Barbara
the star Pel youngster, advanced to th
plate with the sacks loaded. He drov
a vicious grounder down the third bas
line that McDonald just deflected. Wil
son and Knaupp scored before Filar
could retrieve the stray pellet.
Charlie Hemphill twisted a clean blngl
to left from his cudgel, but McBride hel
Starr at third. Lindsay and Syiveste
drove two short flies to the sunfleld, upo
which starting for home would hav
proved suicidal, and Starr tarried u
third. Bluhm hit a slow grounder t
short. McDonald ventured to extend hi
patrol into Kllam's territory on the slo'
bounder, but muffled the rap with hi
gloved hand and Starr scored. Hlggir
responded with a single to Carroll an
scored Barba re. Hemphill, slow aloe
by years of service, attempted to scoi
from second, but was clowned at the plal
by Carroll’s unerring peg. And thus tf
rally subsided.
In every other period of play Johnsc
and Walker held their adversaries witl
out tallies through cunning pitching.
Alar can's sensational stop of Lindsay
hot grounder in. the fourth furnished
fielding feature, while Scotty Chesnu
looked to be the best umpire in the leagi
behind the plate. The Birmingham proi
net hurried the game along and left r
doubt about the attendance hearing h
decisions. Chcsnutt and Kerin are aboi
the two most efficient officators in tf

THREE LONG MATCHES
MARK SECOND ROUND
Tutwiler and Smith Require Nineteen Holes—Steinmehl and
Oliver Play Twenty-two—Third Match Goes Twenty
five Holes—Semi-Finals on Saturday
By ASA HorXTKEK, JR.
Three prolonged matches featured the
second round of the Country club’s mid
summer golf tournament contested yes
terday. One of the matches went 19 holes,
another 22, while the other extended over
25 holes.
Two of these took place in the first
flight, while the last and longest of the
day fell to the fourth.
Herbert Tutwiler and M. D. Smith
fought 19 holes, the later triumphing. 1
up. The match was closely played from
the beginning and after the first nine
holes it was clearly evident that it would
end close, and that extra holes would pos
sibly have to be fought to determine the
winner. This happened to be the case, and
at the end of the required 18 holes the}
were all square. At the nineteenth Smith
nosed Tutwiler and took the match.
Probably the hardest contest of th<
round was between Rollo Steinmehl, £
youngster, and George Oliver, a veteran
Twenty-two holes were necessary hefort
the veteran was declared a winner, 1 up
Steinmehl was slightly off his game, whih
Oliver played in prime form, but as i
was, Steinmehl fought his opponent to s=
standstill, and was all Bquare at th<
end of the first 18 holes. The match thei
went into extra ones, and the nineteenth
twentieth and twenty-first holes wen
halved, but at the twenty-second Olivei
broke the tie, won the hole and also tin
match.
Oliver showed to advantage in puttinj
and on several of the greens holed ou
from considerable distances.
The long distance battle of the da:
occurred betw'een E. E. Ellis and W
H. Nevins, two ardent exponents of th
game, who, though not the best, ar
counted among the most zealous wielder
of golf clubs. The two were evenl;
matched, and they s*'* sawed through 2
holes, Ellis finally shoving his opponen
into the discard. The frolic, for that i
w'hat it may aptly jbe termed, attracted
fair sized gallery and provoked rnuc
amusement for neither were able to shak
the other from his heels.
In the second and third flights two othe
close matches were plated. Dave Rot
erts, Jr., won from A. M. Throckmortor
1 up in the second flight, while Frank Nel
son, Jr., eliminated J. H. Doughty by
similar count in the third flight.
The semi-finals will take place Saturda
