THE CONCORD TIMES,
BALTIMORE TEAM IS
NOW IN WINSTON-SALEM
Spring Season For Famous Team Gets
, I’tidmvay.
Winston-Salem. X. (’.. March 22.
Seventeen members of the Baltimore
i Orioles. hiteiTmtional league, tinder the
leadership of Frit:: MaiseJ. veteran
third-sacker. are in rlie city 1 raining
I for the 1P22. baseball season. This is
'the second year the (iriolcs have
trained in Winston-Salem.
Jack -Dunn, owner and manager of
the duh. may not attend spring train
ing tins year, owing to the death of
k his son. Jack Dunn. Jr., who was hur
ied Tuesday. •
Most of the men now here are r(»-
cruif battery players, hut a few of the
regidars are on the scene. Moses,
droves and Harry Frank. Mfiisel and
Menvin Jacobson. outfielder. are
among the old men in camp.
The two regular catehers. McAvoy
and Styles*, still are among the hold
outs. as ate Ogden and Parnhau, two
of f hum's most dependable mound
men. With the m-ruits. are Owens
and Bird, catdiers. T'liis is Bird’s
first year with the team, hut Owens
was here during training season last
■yeatv During the season he was fann
ed out to several clubs, playing the
last half with the Winston-Salem duh
in the Piedmont league.
With the exception of Faber and
Candler, ail of the other recruits are
trying out for pitching positions. Fa
ber is an infielder and is going out
with the determination of rooting Joe
Holey, l.ated as one of the best short
stops in the lninojr leagues, out of his
job. I I rich is ihe paly one of the
second string nurlers Who has been
with tlu* Orioles before, lie was
farmed out during the playing season.
Huff. Towner. Ross.’ Costalizoti Ellis,
Henderson and Dolan are the other
pitchers.
Emory . Candler, an ex-service man.
is trying fot>« position in the outfield.
When the other members arrive, the
big drive for another pennant will be
begun to break the world’s record for
consecutive pennants. The Orioles
during the past four years have cop
ped as many pennants, and if they
can repeat this season they will 'have
another world iecord to add to their
iist of honors.
Jack Dunn is regarded as one of the
smartest men in minor leagues and
he 'has a ■ collection of stars that has
hi ought freqtumt oilers from the bi^;
-MW t,i*-ji*i* v.' frft s<
one of these playerk. while Holey is i
another. Menvin Jacobson, in center-]
Held, is another star that has at-I
tracted the attention of major league j
clubs. Dunn has refused to sell
them. -
The only uncertain place now is
first base. The position lias been held
down by Jack Bentley, who during
iho winter was sold id the New \ ork
(Hants for Sbb.OOO and several play
ers. While Dunn has not intimated
wliQ will take Bentley's position on
first, there are two good guesses be
ing made hy those close to him. He
will either move Walsh in irom the
out field and put him on first, or lie
will list* Caliber Styles at the initial
sack, according to those informants,
who add tlial in either case lie w add
have a good man.

riage License.
Salisbury, March 21.— Register of
Deeds Max Barker has received a
notice front a •"entleman of Albemarle
to the effect that he will call on the
Rowan register for a set of marriage
licenses at the expiration. Cf ID days,
which lie says is according to a law
enacted by the recent legislatuie.
Mr. .Marker knew a law requiring
10 days notice before license cou d be
secured had been proposed in the
legislature, hut did not know that the
Dill had not passed.
Notice is not being required by the
Rowan register, but the fact that
the Albemarle man gave notice will
not prevent hint from securing thq
papers when he applies for them.
