SCOUT IRA THOMAS of the
Philadelphia Athletics at
tended the double header at
Rick wood Field yesterday and is
reported to be after a catcher for
immediate delivery. It was stated
that Scout Thomas has his eyes on
John Wallace.
• • •
The signing of A1 Bashang will
possibly strengthen the Barons
as Cecil Coombs, who played in the
Southern Michigan league last sea
son, states that the newcomer will
make good with the Barons. How
ever, the best news for the Bar
ons is the fact that Carleton
Molesworth is preparing to return
to the game.
• • •
With an outfield composed of
Coombs in left, Molesworth in cen -
ter, and Sloan in right, the Bar
ons will present a formidable com
bination in the outer works.
• • •
Tills brings to mind what will
become of "Jeems ' Magee? and the
answer Is very simple. Magee has
been ill throughout the Beason and
1b in bad need of a rest. Despite
illness. Magee has played a grand
fielding game and his swats came
at timely moments, as was shown
yesterday.
• • t
Uord Cecil Coombs is playing a
wonderful game In left field and is
the most dangerous hitter on the
Birmingham team. Coombs is swat
ting the ball right on the nose—
and consistently.
• • •
Dannie Clark also returned to
form as a walloper yesterday.
Clark’s triple in the first game
added a few more runs to the to
tal.
• • ■
TCidson Hemingway returned to the
game yesterday afternoon and played
the initial sack Hemmie displayed
his old "pep" in the field, although his
hatting eye. due to period of Idleness,
is still weak. In a few more days
Hemingway should scintillate as of
yore.
• • *
A few words of Mr Bill Lindsay.
This quiet and steady player is rapid
ly making good in Birmingham. He
Is an effective man on third and espe
cially shines at the hat. In fart it
is rather difficult to see how we can
dispense with Lindsay at the present
time. It begins to appear as if Bill
is cinching bis job with every wn:u>p.
• • •
ft was stated yesterday that Man
ager Molesworth just missed signing
Neal Ball by about 30 minutes. Ball,
a former Billiken. and a star In the
majors, Is reported to have reached
an agreement with the Toronto club of
the International league.
« * * *
Regarding the acquisition of "Lefty”
George it is reported that the former I
big league southpaw has not yet se
cured his release from the Kansas City
club of the American association.
Fitcher George is slated to become a
Baron in the near future.
• • •
Evidently the offer of Owner Rick
Woodward to take the Barons on a
trip to Cuba, providing they w’in the
pennant, had the desired effect, as
the tribe of Molesworth displayed
rare snap in the duo of games yester
day. Remember the slogan boys: All
Aboard for Cuba.
• * *
Tn both games yesterday Mr. “Bull
dog'' Williams umpired in rank fash
ion and thoroughly disgusted tlie fans.
President Baugh, how long are you
going to flaunt Incompetents in the
face of popular disapproval?
• • *
Tomorrow' the Barons return for a
series with the Lookouts. Incidentally
tomorrow will be "Trophy Day," and
the silver cup will be awarded to some
fan or fannet who holds the lucky
number.
• • •
Despite the four consecutive defeats
handed to the Barons by the Memphii,
the henchmen of Molesworth broke
even on the games played during the
past week. The Etarons played eight
games and won exactly half of them.
That is not such a bad record with
a bioken up team. Cheer up. fans, the
Barons will yet make that Cuban trip.
TRAP AND FIELD ~]
TRAPSHOOTING AND
CONSERVATION
How This Great American Sport
Benefits the Nation
By GEORGE H. PIERRE
The cry of .conservation rings through
the air. The killing of America’s winged
I host and its fast disappearing game ia the
common topic of conversation. The great
movement of prevention of cruelty is fast
spreading over the country, growing
stronger each moment. Reformation is
! abroad and many ways of bringing about
beneflcient results have been discussed
or tried.
In many circles both the gun and gun
ner have come in for a certain amount
of criticism. Eliminate hunting, say a
few of the more radical and the evils ol
hunting—much of practice of cruelty—will
have been removed. Legal means ha\ e
been resorted to. The game laws of many
states have been limited. But in the en
deavor to get to the root of things
feature has apparently been lost to sight.
To shoot—to prove his nimrodic skill—
is an inherent and perfectly natural de
sire of every' red blooded man. And inci
dentally hunting Is probably one of the
oldest of . the world's pursuits. The cave
man did It of necessity—and thus through
centuries has shooting been brought down
to its present day degree of popularity.
Now to taboo the gun and endeavor to
curb an inherent desire of human nature
is practically working along the lines of
greatest resistance. In fact. It Is h. >
difficult a matter, inasmuch ns there Is
a better and more efficient way.
Would It not he much better to divert
the shooting Instinct of a man to other
channels? And right here trapshooting
becomes interesting because trapshooting
shows both the means and the end. The
gun virtually becomes one of the strongeni
i allies of the advocate of prevention
cruelty—for the very reason that trap
shooting is carried on by mechanical
means. Divert the hunters' enthusiasm
and skill to the practice of breaking or
"killing clay pigeons'' and without J • •
fering with the shooters whims—withiu;
conflicting with his desires—the safety f
both bird and beast Is more or less lu
cres sed.
Moreover, to develop and cultivate the
clean, democratic sport of trapshooting
Is to give the gunner even greater sport
because of the skill the game demands.
Clay pigeons are lifeless things—but—-their
flight is much swifter than that of a bird
and their tricky turns and sudden deflec
tions are varied enough to challenge the
skill of the most expert marksmen.
Prevention of cruelty to animals with
the aid of the gun and clay pigeons—cm
servation—think it over!
