S. C. The Birmingham Baror.s whetted their baseball appetite yesterday for Sunday's game with the Baltimore Orioles by breaking out in a rash of base hits in an in'ra-squad game. When all the firing was over the Taubys had won their second straight victory over the Ogoreks, 18 to 10, by virtue of a huge fourth inning scoring spree in which the Taubys scored 14 runs and the Ogoreks three. In the course of the afternoon 28 runs crossed the plate and the batters pounded out 40 hits Jack Mackey, young pitcher from New York City, insisted that his sore arm wasnt sore and tried to do the hurling.

The Taubys tore into him and before he and Man NASHVILLE.

After devoting an entire after- noon trying to make some sense out of the two celebrated cases, I can only announce that all is confusion, Camilli was interviewed first, just before he went out to play first base against the Cardinals. He was asked if he had signed a contract. 5 "No, said Camilli. He was asked why he hadnt signed a contract.

"Because I havent been able to find Mr. MacPhail since we agreed on terms, said Camilli. "Ive been past his office twice, but he wasnt in either time. Dolf was asked if he didnt think, all things considered, that he ought to have a contract if he was going to continue to play for the Dodgers. "Oh, Im not worried about that, said Dolf, airily.

"Once I played a whole season in the minors without a contract. All Im worried about is getting those checks. Theyre a lot more legal than any contract. Subsequently, it was learned that General Manager Larry MacPhail hadn't been around for a day or two. Somebody thought he might be over at Lake Wales.

Fla. It was agreed that the Brooklyn boss was sore at Camilli and was letting him "sweat for a time. Camilli, it is alleged, aimed some salty language at MacPhail the other day. The Medwick case next was taken under advisement. The husky Card outfielder was located in a grandstand box, saying nothing to Vice President Branch Rickey of the Cardinals, who was sitting in the same box.

Joe was asked if he had signed He shook his head. Rickey was asked if there was anything to report on the situation. He said no. Both acted like they preferred to be left to devote their attention to the game. Cardinal Manager Ray Blades said he knew nothing about the Medwick situation.

Ray inferred he had his hands full trying to put CLEVELAND SHORTSTOP HURT One of the first casualties of the baseball Spring training season was Lou Boudreau (left above), flashy Cleveland shortstop, who chipped a bone in his left ankle while rounding first base in an exhibition game with the Philadelphia Phillies at Fort Myers, Fla.

Bryant will be coach of the line. He is regarded as one of the best young grid coaches in the South and Frank Thomas, head coach at Alabama, when informed of his selection, said he hated to lose him at Alabama. Shortly after locking up State Liquor Store at 312 North Eighteenth Street Friday night, Fred Buttram. 5501 Second Court, North, was slugged over the head by an unidentified Negro when he was getting into his automobile at Third Alley and Eighteenth Street, North.
