W. Hackney, Paul Dennett, Carl Dun
agan, Lawton McWhlrter and "Red"
Bates on the list for tryouts. A num
ber of good men are included in the
list, and Gray and one or two olhers
were given tryouts with the Barons
last year. Olsen and Hyman are con
sidered good boxmen.
In a recent deal the Barons obtained
Roy Spencer, first string catcher for
Augusta, Sally league, who will be
given a chance as an understudy for
"Pop" Robertson. Spencer has a lot
of experience and should make the
Barons a good man. "Toots" Brandon,
with one year of service as second
string catcher for the Barons, behind
him will again make a stab at alter
nating with Robertson behind the
plate. David Cochltn of Danville, 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 big tops
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 sacker and will be given a try
,Alfred Young, of the Augusta,
(bally league) team, is another promise
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
ers for Brausen's bag. Kane also plays
Outfield.
