Just at this time the baseball man from
preparing himself against the coming Of
the season. 1t is a requisite that every
baseball player be in superb condition.
This is true as concerns the professional
baseball player and the college athlete.
Just how to get in fine physical condi-
ton is the question. This is rendered
additionally interesting because the man

vegetables sparingly, and an egg. He

Now which plan is better? The college
man, during vacation, keeps in condition,
realizing that me must look good" when
returning to the campus If he has hopes
of making the football team. The pro-
fessional plays pool and bowls during
the winter and invariably turns up for
spring training with too much flesh. The
tactics are entirely different. This con-
trast is brought out splendidly when the
college man who has turned professional
relates his experiences in the training
camp.
Which is the better plan remains in
dou.t. The college athlete has an exist
en- of only four or five years. The pro-
| fessional plays always. Jim Mcclure,

ing in the professional game for twenty

Come Wednesday
MANAGER FRANK CHANCE
HAS WRENCHED BACK
Fans Rejoicing That Time For Actual
Work Has Concentrating of
the Expected Big
Leaguers.

The fans of the city will see baseball
game this afternoon. The Barons will line
up against the Howard college aggrega-
ton. the team coached by Lee Garvin.
This game will give the fans chance to
see the players at work.
Before the week is ended baseball will
be the chief topic of conversation in Bir-
mingham. Wednesday afternoon the Chi
cago Cubs. champions of the National
league, will antagonlze the Barons cham
pions of the Southern. The Cubs have
handed out nice series of defeats to
Charlie Franks Pellcans, and when the
result of the games with the Barons are

the locals and the Pelicans.
The Cubs will play Wednesday, Thurs

date has been requested, but has not been
positively arranged as yet The High
landers will probably play Monday, too.
Next week, baseball will be at its height.
The Philadelphia Athletics and the Gin
cinnati Reds are here. Then comes the
Boston aggregation, then the Detroit
Americans.
Concerning the champions of the Ma
tional league who arrive here for game
day after tomorrow, the Information was
received last night that the leader anu
star, Frank Chance has wrenched his
back and is not now playing on the first
corner. The Highlanders are in the lime
light just at present on account of the
fact that Hal Chance, the best first base
man in the world, is holding back for
more salary, the chances being that the
star will hardly play ball this season.
The Philadelphia Athletics are always
surrounded with interest. There is
"Rube" Waddell to spin out tales of i'm
possible things, and tell adventures that
make those of the famous Gil Bias fade
into insignifcance. Connie Mack, the
shrewd, will unfold a few of his plans
with all seriousness, and will then do
Just opposite Concerning Waddell. it is
reported that he is in fine condition this
season, the probabilities being that he
will star more perfectly than at any
time previous. The Cincinnati Reds will
bring Ed Mlnahan again TO the local lot.
1t is remembered that this youngster
started his career in Birmingham, which
brought him unfortunately into contact
with and under the influence of Jimmy
o Brien, Johnny Duffy and that old lay
out.
Birmingham, at any rate, will entertain
stars within few days, and to give
them a royal welcome, the fans are pre-
pairing.

Pain is natures signal of distress,

Those sharp twinges in the back,
those stabilize pains that follow any
sudden twist or turn. are simple signs
of hidden danger in the kidneys.
No trouble starts more easily, gains

more often fatal than any disorder of

pearances of health may remain until
a terrible disease has taken root.
1t is best to learn the duties of the
kidneys. to watch for early signs of
trouble. and to correct any irregular
itv before its serious stage begins.
