PAUL FLORENCE, former Indianapolis. catcher, is president of the Birmingham Barens of the Southern association. : . . And ‘his team’s manager is Johnny Riddle, also a former catcher for the Hoosier Indians. « « Birmingham is a member of the Cincinnati baseball “chain.” i Recently, Prexy Florence conceived a plan uy hook up baseball / and victory gardening and if it works out the Barons’ cupboard won't go ‘bare during the predicted food shortage. +. . He has set aside an acre on which members of the home team will be asked to cultivate a garden. In an ‘editorial, Sporting News commented on the announcement in part, as follows: “We hope the idea will spread through the length and breadth of the land. Or at least that part of the land _ near ball parks which is tillable. . “The most important development, of course, will be that no fatter how great the general food shortage becomes in Birmingham markets, the Barons will not starve to death. There will be days .. on thé road, however, and here is where the idea will spread.

: “THERE IS ONE vegetable (in addition to potatoes for meat and potatoes, if there’s any meat) which should be popular among ball players. It has been proved that carrots are great for the eye- . gight. We haven't looked up the Birmingham batting averages for 1942, but the Barons, like every other baseball team, could use plenty

of carrots.
