Barons of Carlton Moles Worth to Win Southern League Pennant
The Barons of Carlton Molesworth are expected to win the 1912 Southern League pennant barring accidents. They boast a fast, hard hitting outfield and a solid infield with Yantz and Dilger as capable catchers. Pitchers appear classed enough to carry the team, with Moeley's speed-focused play described as the league’s best. Chattanooga is predicted for first division but may finish behind the Barons, who stand as the league’s class, while other clubs like Memphis and Atlanta look strong but pitchers are the Cracker’s need. Royal Almeida of Birmingham executes a remarkable play at second base, and Ed Koney of St. Louis has heated up at the plate. The Crackers face a tough season, relying on Dessau and Atkins, with eight former Crackers in this race. Chattanooga, Mobile, and Birmingham contribute several ex-players to the narrative.
