Birrningham's wrestling favorite, Dr. B. F. Roller, will meet Constant Le- Marin, champion of Hungary, at the Jeff ferson theatre tomorrow night in a finish match starting at 800 o'clock. Both Roller and LeMarin are already in the city and have been training for the bout for the past few days.
 Dr. Roller is one of the best-known wrestlers in the country and aside from being a strong local favorite. he is equal ly well liked over the entire country. Since Rollers last appearance in Birning ham, which was in 1914, he has lost the title which he held Roller was the champion catch-as-catch-can American wrestler until the recent New York wrestling tournament. Ed "Strangler" Lewis, one of Rollers pupils captured the crown from the famous wrestling physician.
 ROLLER MAY MEET LEWIS
 Roller has not lost any of his knowl- edge of the game, and he still possesses his remarkable ability with the toe hold. His downfall in the recent tournament Is attributed to the fact that the toe AAO~>A was without his favorite conqueror Lewis defeated Roller for the championship in the finals after almost one hour of wrest- ling.
 Roller has not met Lewis since the tournament and it Is probable that he will be matched with the Kentucky grap- pier provided he wins his bout tomorrow. With the toe hold eligible. Roller will probably put the shoulders of Lewis to the mat. Fans who witnessed any of the matches here in 1914 will remember Roll CTS work on the mat
 LeMarin is a finished grappler in every respect, and will undoubtedly give Roller a tough struggle. LeMarin is champion of Hungary and has a great mat record. He won the Greaco-Roman championship of Europe at London, Hamburg, Moscow and Vienna. He is the only man who de- feated Rauel le Boucher and the great Turkish giant. Nouralah. In his long ca reer, LeMarin has defeated over 6O0 wrestlers. and now claims the Greaco- Roman championship of Europe. Le-

 "Pittsburg will, of course," replied Fred. 'Why. there's nothing to it. I'm fan now and not a manager and have a right to my opinion for the first time in IS years"
 As we are about to turn our faces northward for the opening. we hear of this club being in great shape and that club being tip top for the open- ing.

 The Reds had enjoyed fine weather in the south and had been kept busy every day of the exhibition tour. They were a fine and fit set of men. Fred Clarke had bronchitis. Adams suf- fered from stomach trouble. Jack Mill Ter and Wilson were all out of sorts, and when we left Columbus for Rhine- land the night before we were the sickest and sorriest set you ever saw.

SOUTHWESTERNN|NE ID MEET HOWARD IN IA TWO-GAME SERIES
First Game to Be Played Tomorrow on Baptists' Campus-Team Is in
 Good Condition

The Howard college baseball nine will attempt to redeem themselves and
 make good for the hard luck road trip they experienced tomorrow and Tues day when they take on the Southwest ern Presbyterian university for series of games on the campus. The games I will be called at S:45, and the games are expected to be fast and close Towards weakness is said to be from the lack of practice prior to the opening of the schedule, and according to Rob- ert Robinson, coach, the team is now rounding into good condition anu wifi put up stiff fight for the remaining games. The Baptist have hard sched- ule this season, as they have been, and will go, up against some of the best college teams in the s. I. A. A. The Howard players attribute their loss so far to lack of team work and training. They have confidence in the team as winner and will put all they have into the games Monday and Tues day.
 The twirling staff has practically re- covered from sore arms and charlie horses and are showing up in fine form Of the three mound artists there seems to be no large advantage in favor of
 any one. One Is as good as the other and all are in condition to do hard work from now on until the season closes.

 "We paid more money for Speaker than the Chicago Americans paid for Eddie Collins or the New York Americans paid for Frank baker" said Dunn.. '"The acquisition of Speaker was purely cash transaction, but there may be some minor details involving one or two of the lesser players on the Cleveland team"

 BOSTON RED S0X
One of Greatest Outfielders in Game Sold After Fail ure to Agree to Terms.
 Deal for Cash

New York, April S.-Tristam Speaker, one of the greatest outfielders in base ball. and for the past two years the highest salaried player in the game, was traded today by the Boston American league team to the Cleveland club of the same league.
 The deal which was closed here late today by Manager Carrigan of Boston and Robert McRoy of Cleveland, came after many rumors that the worlds cham pionS were to part with their brighest star, but nevertheless it caused consid- erable surprise Speaker was one of the mainstays of the Boston club, both in fielding and batting, and contributed largely to the winning by his team of two worlds series during his eight years with the Red Sox.
 In return for the famous player, Boston will receive, Manager Carrigan said, two players. Pitcher s. P. Jones and another to be chosen later, and a cash consid- eratiOn. The amount to be paid was not announced.
 The release of Speaker is said to have been caused by inability to come to terms on the question of salary. Two years ago, when Speaker was eagerly sought by the Federals, he was given a con tract Tor two years at salary feputed to have been $1S,00O. the highest ever paid ball player. To close this deal, Joseph J. Lannin, owner of the Red Sox, met Speaker at the dock upon his return from a trip around the world with an all- star team. At the passing of the Federal league, Lannin offered Speaker a con tract for this year calling for a much smaller salary, said to be about $90Oo. The result was that they failed to come to terms.
 Speaker is 32 years old and was born at Hubbard City, Tex. He played two years with the North Texas league and then went to Boston in 1908. With the exception of his first year. he batted for an average of over 300 in the eight years he was with the Red Sox. His best year was 1912, when his average was .3S2 Last year he batted .S22. He throws with his left hand.
 Jones participated in 4S games while playing with Cleveland last year, but was used chiefly as a relief pitcher. He is credited with having won three and lost eight games His batting average was .156

WALKER TO PLAY CENTER

Boston, April S.-Clarence Walker, pur- chased few days ago from the St. Louis Browns. will cover center field for the Red Sox. With batting record al most the equal of Speakers and a strong throwing arm the newcomer is expected by the management to go far toward filling Speakers place. In fielding 1t is expected the ranging ability of Hooper and Lewis will be of assistance covering the ground over which Speaker was mas ter.
 The player that will come to Boston from Cleveland with Pitcher Jones will probably be Arthur Egan, inf1elder Presi- dent Lannin said he tried to include Short stop Chapman in the trade. but Cleve- land management replied it was trying to strengthen, not weaken its team. Nor ton or Mitchell. pitchers, was also sought by Boston. but unsucessfully. ac- cording to the Red Sox president.
 President Lannin said that he had practically agreed with Speaker on the amount of salary he should be paid this year. and that this high salary was a factor considered in the decision to let the center fielder go. The Red Sox owner paid a tribute to Speakers playing and personal qualities.

KEEP YOUR FURNITURE
.E lO0KIN6 LIKE new
Preserve 1ts Original Beauty

The art of keeping your furniture
looking new from day to day is an easy
one. 1t is simply matter of bringing
out the original finish in all its natural
beauty, instead of applying an extra
coat Of artificial polish, which too often
either leaves sticky film to collect dust
or else gums or dries the vagnish, thus
promoting checking and Grading.
The better homes throughout the
country are now using Tobey Polish
because of its natural cleaning and re
newing qualities. This isthe same polish
used by the Tobey Furniture Company
Chicago and New York; on every piece
of fine furniture they make, and is made
after their own secret shop formula.
Tobey Polish restores the newness to
vanished and enameled surfaces. It
does it naturally-by cleaning the finish
and maintaining in it its original condi-
ton. Keeps the varnish elastic and
new-free from checking and cracking.
No hard work-no rubbing. Results
are instantaneous. After the regular
cleaning little Tobey Polish on the
dust cloth keeps everything new from
day to day.
Try it on . chair, or a piaHo. See
what difference It makes. Use It on
your automobile; sec hoy il preserves
the factory-new appearanee-a clean
hard finish that will not collect dust.
Tobey Polish is sold at all the better
stores. Costs no more than the other
kind. Bottles 2Se and Soc; Quarts, 81.
