UNIFORM MAKES HIT

The Southern league rule that managers must not appear in uniform unless listed as active players doesn’t bother Carlton Molesworth. The fat manager of the Birmingham team dons a flannel shirt and a pair of overalls before each game, puts his team through its hitting and fielding practice as an “active” participant, then retires to the bench when the game begins. His workout rig is said to make a great hit with the fans.
