FEDERALS TO FIGHT FOR BRANDING AND KAHLER IN COURTS

@LAIMING that Danny Clark
 was not a free agent when O he was signed by Manager Molesworth of the Barons, the Gadsden club of the Georgia Ala bama league has notified President Baugh that the local association must come across with an equitable purchase price or return Clark to Gadsden. According to Clark, how ever, the claim on his services made by the Gadsden club is absurd, as he never really belonged to that club. Near the final part of%the 1913 season Clark states he was loaned to the Gadsden club by Meridian in the Cotton States circuit At the end of the season he was returned to Meridian and was given his uncon- ditional release by that club as the Cotton States was on the verge of breaking up and the Meridian lead CT did not wish to prevent him from securing a berth by holding him over until the spring of 1914r
 As Clark has letter from the Gadsden management stating that he had been returned to Meridian and also his unconditional release from Meridian, the claims advanced by the Gadsden club appear to be groundless and any effort exerted by the Gadsden club to regain him from the Barons will likely meet with failure.
 Any move on the part of Pooh Bah Johnson of the American league or National moguls to inter fere with the Chicago management in regards to the electing of Charles H. Thomas as president of the Cubs, will be left to President Tener for adjustment. Thomas, while acting as secretary of the Chi cago club, became estranged with President Johnson and several Ma tional league magnates on account of the famous ticket scandal of 1908, and his elevation to the pres- ideney has brought forth discon- tented remarks from certain quar- ters. But National league officials have all agreed to keep their hands off and leave the entire situation for Tener to handle, consenting to abide by his decision.

 worlds records made last year by Cali
 fornia athletes were mailed today by
 the records committee of the Pacific
 Athletic association to the similar com mittee of the Amateur Athletic union. The
 reason the two athletes have been so
 long in getting official credit for tine achievement is that the original affivadits were lost and new ones had to be drawn Fred Kelley of the University of South ern California ran the 120-yard hurdles In 15 seconds flat at the Pacific conference meet at BerlSley May 10 last, setting a new American record and tying the worlds record made by Forrest Sm!thson of Portland Ore, at the Olympic games
 in London in 1908. This was one of the misplaced records. The other was the indoor record for throwing the S6-pound

By ASA RouNTREE. JR.

of interest among baseball men this spring and close tab will be kept on his achievements during his first season out as big league mana ger. Although Robinson is one of the oldest players in the majors, his career dating back beyond the time when the Orioles were in their glory. this is the first time that he has dabbled in the managerial game. That Robinson is well equipped for his new job is plainly apparent as he was Handon's right hand man back in the days when the famous old Orioles were cutting a wide swath in major league com pany, while during later years he has been the chief lieutenant of Johnny McGraw.
 Awakened by the realization that they were in danger of going with out baseball during the coming sea- son, Mississippi aase ball fans have emerged from their indolence and heroic cffcrts are being made to put the Cotton States league back on its feet. Already four towns Columbus, Meridian, Aberdeen and Corinth-have signified their will ingness t. support teams this year and indications are that the Cot ton States will survive at least an- other year. there being possibility of two other towns entering the circuit. While several league off cials have been working indefatig- ably during the winter trying to create 'rterest it was not until re- gently tilat they met with any de- gree of success. Aberdeen and Cor inth are newcomers in the ranks of organized ball and with this new blood injected into it the Cot ton States may be able to survive another campaign.
 Aided ard abetted by Jupiter Pluvius old man winter has suf- fered a reversal in form and in several Southern league cities has deigned to frown on the efforts of ball tossers to get into condition. From Oh; ttanooea, Nashville and Memphis comes the same complaint of cold and rainy weather, which has seriously impeded training. For time last week Birmingham also suffered from cold and rain. one exhibition game being cut short and another being called off because of these conditions. Sul- phur Dell park in Nashville is in such 8 muddy shape that fast play is almost impossible. In Memphis the Turtle baseball plant was also put in poor shape through light fall of snow.
 An interested spectator at this afternoons contest between the Barons and the St. Louis Browns will be ManaScr Bobby Gilks of the Billillens. Gilks will be in Bir- mingham for the purpose of talk ing over two young players that we're promised him several weeks ago by Manager Branch Hickey He received wire from the Brown leader Saturday requesting him to be on hand in Birmingham Tues day to take possession of these players. It is understood that the players to be acquired by Gilks are infielders. A pitcher has also been promised by Hickey and the Billiken manager is in hopes of carrying him back to Montgomery along with the infielders.

into billions OF vicious invaders,
These now begin a battle royal with
the blood elements and the tissue
juices.
The result of that fray Is a battle
field strewn with dead and diving
germs az-well as dead and dying It's
sue cells. II the human Issues con-
quer the wounded and niutilated col
lections of injured microbes and tissue
cells are walled off and surrounded
by the reserves.
In BRIEF a movement of the second
army surrounds every flank of the
enemy and prevents their escape into
or assault upon the rest Of your per-

1t is, in fine, a yellowish. cheesy- like
conglomeration of dead bacteria and

Plague of Childhood.
One of the most frequent compiica-
tions of cool weather ills In children
between six months and six years OF
age is an abscess in the ear. A
parent or a physician who neglects to
keep this In mind is often to blame
for deafness In grown-ups, perhaps a
score of years later.
If an abscess is not cleanly and
properly punctured so that the mat
ter can exude outside of the tissues,
in many instances 1t will rupture in
ternally and reach some vital point
Thus may results from the ear
abscess pus on the brain. In appen-
dicitis it may spell peritonitis, blood
poisoning and death.
Assesses are usually the outcons
of some physical slip-up. "Excesses
cause abscesses'' would not be a bad
slogan to remember.

Perhaps no other step that England

lions would so contribute to that end
as her simple promise to respect cot
ton shipments as non-contraband.
Without humility we may be CRATE

The drst and heaviest blow in the
disappearance of the cotton market
falls, of course, on the South. But

staple Ia a national asset. The whole
country is concerned for the main
tenance of that trade to the same OK
tent that 1t Is concerned for stability
of foreign exchange. Since 1900 the
average balance OF trade has been
obout $3.50, 100000 in our favor. Our
raw cotton exports have averaged
$3.50, MOO, 900. The trade represents
practically the whole of the excess of
exports over imports.
It Is factor on which every for

on which the amount OF money avail
able for use in this country depends.

the sudden tying up of $6S,000,0oO of

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Universal Nee d Inspires Invention

IT have long been convinced that
when the need is generally and widely
felt for something that will take the
place of methods which have been
adopted in industry for centuries,
then, sooner or later, mems intellects
will be able to provide exactly what
is needed"
This remark was made to me by
Henry Robinson Towne, who Is iden-
tilted with one of the largest OF
American Industries and whose name
Is known the world over as that OF q
man who is one of the chief industrial
and commercial forces of the United
States.
MT. Towne, In Civil War days and
while still a young man within year
of his majority. was occupied with
government work which the AFFAIRS
Of the gunboat Massachusetts en-
tailed He was especially identneo
with the important work OF directing
| the engines in the once famous moni-
| tor Monadnock and Agamenticus.
Later he became identified with the
great industry with which his name
has for so many years been asso-
ciated.
"a good many years ago." said Mr..
Towne. sat the time when the sewing
machine was beginning to be recog-
nized as one OF the most Emporium
contributions of invention to Ameri-
can Industry, l spent day or two
with my friend, Nathaniel Wheeler,
who was identified for many years
with one of the largest establishments
in the world for the manufacture OF
sewing machines.
dMr. Wheeler took me through his
plant. and l saw various models OF
sewing machines in operation ana
was greatly impressed by all that l
aaw. After my visit was ended, fell
into a line Of thought from which
came my first comprehension OF the
fact that whenever there is developed
| a universal need there also In due
time comes q demonstration OF the
fact that some one has found out how
to meet that need.
'For example, I reflected that Tor
ages back as far as history has made
any record there was no other way OF
sewing than by needle and thread.
Even the savages had their primitive
naedles and manufactured their
thread from the fiber of tree bark or
from wood.
