TOD S[OAN'S CAREER STARTED AS PITCHER Baron Right Gardener Has Great Whip-May Act as
 Relief Twirler

The might with which Tod Sloan
 propels the ball on line to the in
 feld to check ambitious base runners
 has often provoked fans to speculation
 as to whether he can pitch. The fol-
 lowers of the Barons were not the
 first to discover the twirling possibil-
 tiles of the Birmingham right fielder,
 for Sloans history shows that he in
 augurated his career as a twirler with
 the Bristol club in the Appalachian
 league in 1911.
 Sloan first toed the rubber with the
 King college team of Bristol, Tenn. in operating against Tennessee Mill tary institute, Tod declares that he famed 21 of the 27 men who faced him. "I was a strong arm pitcher. Sloan modestly asserts, but had little trouble in college circles. I would work the ball in toward the batter using all the speed I commanded and had them falling away from the plate and striking while they retired It was real easy with King college.
 "The first game in which I partic- ipated as a professional was a big suc- cess. Throughout nine innings l held Morristown to three hits and Bristol won to 0. However, despite my twirl- ing, the Bristol club led the league the wrong way up I do not recall ex- actly how many battles I pitched, but I suspect that there were about eight "As soon as the manager discov- cred that I could hit better than could pitch I was placed in the out | field and remained there ever since So if the Birmingham club gets in l tight place for relief pitcher. the l fans may hear the arbiter shout | ''isloan now pitching for Birmingham

MRS. B. |. ALLEN OF SHEFFIELD, ALA,
 GAINS 23 POUNDS
She Fell Off Until She Only Weighed 105 Pounds. Now Weights 128
 Pounds

My wife has taken three bottles of Tanlac and has gained 23 pounds was the remarkable statement made to the Tanlac man yesterday by B. l.. Allen, the we'll known barber in Sheffield. For more than three years Mrs AL len suffered with stomach, liver and Kidney trouble" continued Mir. Allen. 'She fell off until she weighed only -U5 pounds, now she weighs 12S pounds. She was badly constlpated and the pains in her side and back almost drove her wild. She scarcely ate any thing at all and suffered terribly with gas on her stomach.
 At times she would get so bad and Do weak that she would take to her ocd and for weeks would suffer agony. She was terribly nervous and suffered with sick headaches. She would have dizzy spells and complained of short ness of breath. She would get up of mornings feeling as fatigued as when she went to bed and would have bad taste in her mouth.
 She tried every kind of medicine and nothing prescribed gave her any re- lief; in fact, my house was so full of empty and partly empty medicine bots ties it looked like a young drug store. , Her condition was something terrible and l worried a great deal about her. During the time she has been i'll I have spent more than $500 for medi cine.
 Nothing reached her trouble and the medicine she took did no more good than so much water, l read in the Fri j Cities Daily. about this Tanlac and al though I was just almost distracted l concluded to give. it a trial and. sir, 1t was the very thing her system need ed Right from the start she began to improve and now she looks like a diff ferent person. lt'4F,
 She gets up of mornings feeling cheerful, bright and refreshed and does all of Ter own homework. She is the happiest woman in Sheffield and has a right to feel that way. To say that I am happy is putting it mildly because I have a chance now to save a dollar
 Tanlac is sold in Birmingham exclu- eively by Patton-Pope Drug Go. and Jacobs Drug Store and in Bessemer by Pegram Patton Drug Co.,, in Ensley by D. w Morris Drug Co-Adv.

 Sir Herbert Holt, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, an arrival. said the members of the British financial commits sion coming to New York to effect d readjustment of the foreign exchange rate situation were to have sailed on the Adriatic, but changed their plans at the last minute He added that he believed they would reach New York in the near future. es 5 llf
 From another source it was learned that the commissioners planned to sail for New York by way of Canada.
 T see no occasion for alarm in the United States over the sudden drop in foreign exchange, and especially the English pounds sterling said Sir Her bert. "I might say that, regardless of how low. exchange falls, Great Britain must have the munitions of war she IS securing in this country. Also I feel confident that the exchange matter will soon adjust itself"
 Passengers said that from the time the Adriatic sailed at o'clock on the afternoon of August 25 until o'clock 10 Sb a tpnc conx,Oped T, y three British destroyers
 After stating positively that the sup- marine which. torpedoed the Arabic had been captured the. officer said that he could not disclose the place of capture nor detail the circumstances. He said. however, that the U-boat was of the largest and latest type in the German navy.
 Major General Samuel Hughes, Cana dian minister of militia and defense. was another arrival. He had been visiting the battlefront in France and in Elan ders and training camps in England.
 We have every feason to be proud of the Canadians and the Yankees who are fighting with them In the trenches. '' he said. "I would not attemp to pre- dict when the war will be over, but I can say that from our standpoint every thing is now satisfac ctory."
 Sir Robert Borden, premier of Canada, was also passenger.
 Six Arabic survivors arrived on the Adriatic. They were Mrs. Margaret At kinson and her son. Arthur Atkinson Mrs. F. C. Allison, W. Bathurst, Miss NJ Christophensen and John Doherty. Mir.

Chips From Rickwood
By FRED BoDEkER

Some games yesterday. Moley's Barons were certainly deserving winners over Billy Smith and his Crackers. although the band did play slow music before the game.
 Karl Black won his sixth straight game, besides gaining a stronger hold with the fans. Karl is one Baron that has his heart, soul and body in the fray the whole time: He never loafs on the job.
 Incidentally Mir. Perryman, by his win yesterday, brought his pitching average up to the 300 mark Not a single Baron pitcher is below the .500 mark.
 Eddie Mcdonald is off form this year, or he was above form last year with the Barons. Eddie made a couple of boobies that figured in the Barons' scoring but he was one of the two to secure a safety off Perryman.
 Eddie is getting pretty old and his useful days are almost over. The Barons had a chance to take his services but he wanted too much money. Moley refused to pay his demand, for he had Eddie Hemingway playing fine ball for him at third. Bill Smith secured him when he fell short of men in June.
 Who will Smith get to fill Lees shoes in left after Saturday when the latter departs for the big show? In losing Lee. Smith loses his only 300 hitter and his best fielder. Billy had better look out or the Gulls will take fifth place from him.
 The Barons certainly had on their slugging clothes yesterday. Anything the Cracker moundsmen offered-bing, went another safe ty Mir Perry this afternoon and here's hoping his curves look the same.
 The Phillies have just about got things sewed up in the National lea yus--unless they take terrible slump. The Dodgers, with strong and healthy squirt, could overcome the lead of Moran's men.
 The Braves win just enough games 10 get interest aroused and then

LEE ID JOIN BROWNS AT CLOSE 0F WEEK Cracker Will Report After Saturdays Game With
 the BarOns

Jimmie Lee, the Cracker sun gardener. will leave at the close of the Baron series to joint the St. Louis Browns. Lee will be the second Cracker to leave the ranks within the past week. On last Saturday Herb Kelly, the leagues official hard luck twirler, left to join the Pittsburg Pi- rates and has received his bumps already.
 Lee is the best hitter in the Cracker roster. He Is hitting .301 up to Ia st Sunday appearing at the bat 402 times and securing safeties of 121. He has scored i5 counters He is also batting fourth in the league. Lee is a fast man on the paths and is a fairly good base stealer
 He should make the Browns a good man and with the proper training next spring will stick in the big show Lee will not be alone on Branch Rickey's team, as Tommy Long, former Cracker Is rlay- ing as a regular in the Brown outfield.

PHILLIPS INCREASE
 LEAD OVER RIVALS

New York, September 2.-Philadeiphia increased it's lead in the National league race today and Boston held it's ground in the American.
 By losing to Brooklyn the Braves were set back farther into third place. while
 Philadelphia, winning two games to Brooklyn's one, slipped little further
 ahead of the Superbas. However, the Braves have not been eliminated and
 Boston fans still see a possibility of hay ing the whole worlds series played in Boston.
 Chicago virtually was eliminated by los ing to Detroit today. The White Sox now are eight games behind the Tigers and nine and a half games behind the Red Sox, who maintained their lead over Jennings men by taking another game from Philadelphia.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-03

start losing again, and the Dodg CTS are much the same. As the Phillies haven't an exceptional team, they wouldn't make very strong opponents to the American league winners.
 The Detroit Tigers, with Rah- Rah. Hughie Jennings at the helm. appear to have gone after the Red Sox, who are only a game and half in the lead now. By virtue of yesterdays win the Tygers eliminated the White Sox from the race.
 As 1t Is a long time too soon to discuss the prospects of the worlds series, the only logical thing to do is to figure out will the Barons win the rag again this year. With the pitchers going fine and the team hitting anything that comes over. it could be done.
 However, should we finish in the first division every fan in Bir- mingham should be satisfied Look what Moley has done for Birming- ham in the last five years. Never below third place and two rags, in l'lS dflu 1918. WHdl more COulu any manager do?
 Clyde Mcbride jumped into the battle yesterday and just for old times sake the former Baron hit safely two times. Clyde won many ball game for the locals but lost more by loafing.
 
 f "Dixie" Walker pulled a little amateur stuff against the Gulls yesterday when Is of the Gull swats,nen whiffeG Fifteen is the high water mark for the year For a professional to whiff that many sounds amateurish, but 'tain't-just little deep stuff that the ma- jority of us can't understand.
 Arthur Johnson should be able to reap the harvest this afternoon, especially if the Barons give him a big lead like they did on last Tuesday. Another win today will make affairs look mighty good when the Chicks want to argue over second place.
 Only five more games on the local lot. You fans had better go out and see the Barons perform while they are here because you won't have a chance to view the pennant winners after Saturday, as the Barons are on the road.

TENNIS FAVOR|TES

 ditiOns Fine

Forest Hills, N. Y.. September 2-Er. ratic play by leading eontenders fof the title was the outstanding feature his championship singles tournament here today. Weather conditions were fine and the largest gallery of the week was on hand to applaud every winning stroke, but the general form of the players was not as high as in the earlier rounds.
 There was an almost entire absence of the sensational tennis that SC thrilled the. spectators at Wednesday, S matches. R. Norris Williams II, play ing through champion. defeated Wal ter Merrill Hall 6-2, 9-7. 2-6. 6-1. Maur- Ice E. Mclaughlin, who captured two legs on the champion bowl in 1912 and 1913. won from Leonard Beekman, 6-2. 3-6, 62 6-2; Karl Behr disposed of Robert Lercy 4-6. GA, GA, 6-4; W. M Johnston put out D. S. Walters of New Orleans. 6-1. 6-2, 62; Clarence J. Grif- fin eliminated a Pacific coast team mate in Ward Dawson, s-3. 7-5. 6-2.
 Without exception, the victors were never in danger of defeat and this may have had something to do with the standard of the play. This was par ticularly true of both Williams and Mclaughlin. The former started like a whrlwind against Hall, slumped bad ly in the third set, which he lost. and won at the same speed at which he began.
 The wide gulf that separates Mo- Loughlin and Beekman in the rank Ing list was not so evident when. the pair met on the turf. The famous con queror of Brookes and Wilding ap- peared to be experimenting with a mixture of net and deep court play and as a result he was not up to form. At times he almost was sluggish, but when occasion demanded he proved en- tirely too fast and clever for Beekman The New Yorker took advantage of McLoughlins slow play in the second set and won on merit. Beekman, how ever, was unable to hold his star ad- versary in check when the latter chose to exert himself.
