Bout at Jefferson Theatre Monday Expected to Draw Capacity HOuse-Lewis
 to Arrive Sunday

Ed s4s:Strangler,o Lewis, who wilftneet Tom@ Draak the local favorite and champion of Belgium, will arrive in Birmingh gham on Sunday for his match with Draak Monday night at the Jeff ferson theatre The programme will probably start at S:30 o'clock.
 The Lewis-Draak match will be one of the best atches offered in Birming- ham in number of years. Lewis is well known here, having appeared here several times before. Since appearing in Birmingham, Lewis has advanced rapidly and is now considered one of the best wrestlers on the mat He claims the worlds championship, hay ing won all matches for the last two years
 Lewis participated in the recent New York wrestling tournament and won all of his matches Although he did not win the tournament it was not be- cause he suffered defeat but on ac- count of his failure to remain in the tourney until the last Lewis is now dickering for a match with Frank Gotch, the present title holder and who has re-entered the ring. On May l in Madison Square garden Lewis will go up against Joe Stecher, another claim ant to the title.
 Draak is well known here, having appeared before the wrestling fans on three previous occasions. That he will offer a good match to the Kentucky grappler is certain, but he will hardly return the victor. Draak as never met Lewis, but is confident of victory. Last week Draak met and defeated the Masked Marvel" who is Mort Hen derson. Draak won both falls in some thing less than IF minutes. The match was held in Altoona, Pa. the home town of the Marvel.
 A good match is expected and wrestling fans can look for one of the best if. not the best match ever offered in Birmingham. Draak, no doubt, will prove worthy opponent for the title claimerj but he will not hardly con- tinue his chain of wins in Birmingham. z. Nespor is promoting the match

Suit Filed Against Organized Baseball
Birmingham Will Hdve Hard Fight to Win Attendance Cup
New Orleans Already Planning Win Opening Day Honors
 Meeting Saturday of Birmingham Fans

Birmingham had better get busy and 1916 attendance trophy Reports from New Orleans and other towns about the circuit show that Birmingham will have the hottest competition in a num- Der of years
 New Orleans has been busy for the past week in arranging a campaign An enthusiastic meeting was held Mon day at which time tickets were dis tributed and the campaign started. The people in New Orleans are offering all sorts of assistance and it appears that Birmingham will have hard time to again become the proud possessor at the attendance trophy.
 meeting of Birmingham fans has been called at the Tutwiler hotel for Saturday at 1 o'clock at which time the campaign for Birmingham will be formally launched. Birmingham has been the winner of the cup for the past few years and to lose the honor would be a big loss to Birmingham. Last year Birmingham won the cur with an attendance of l 400. It Is true that Birming nam stretched herself to pull this mum Der of fans to the park but even so the weather was bad and general conditions were against large crowd. New Orleans figures that Bir- mingham cannot possibly go over. the 12,000 mark and that if the Pelicans can attract over that number they will win the cup.
 Birmingham must be counted on for more than 12,000. There are but four cities that are considered as opponents in the race for the cup. Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta and Memphis compose the four towns that always make the biggest bid for the opening g day honors. It's up to Birmingham to get busy. The following from the New Orleans Picayune tells of the early ac- tiyities to win the cup.
 One of the most enthusiastic meet ings of loyal supporters of the Pe1- jeans ever called in the interest of 8 boosting campaign for a record open ing day crowd was held Monday night at the Hotel DeSoto, many prominent present
 It only needed this meeting to launch the 'Kop the Kup Kampaign.' which, it is hoped, will result in New Or leans winning the cup offered annually to the Southern league city which has the largest opening day attendance.
 Birmingham "kopped the kup" last year and also the year before. It's high time the "WNter Capital of Amer ica' was getting it. Last year New Or leans just missed annexing the coveted trophy, which, besides being emble- matic of d progressive community spells q world of advertisement to the city which captures it.

CHANGE IN WEATHER
 CAUSES BARONS ID .GET HARD WORKOUT
Mcdonald Reports -Moley Preparing Barons for Trip to Meet Ala
 bama Tomorrow

r The Baron roster was completed yes terday at Redwood Field when Eddie McDonald reported to Manager Moles- worth and took his initial workout. The warmer weather gave Moley a good op- portunity to give the Barons a stiff work out. after q two days idleness on &C., count of the cold weather.
 Mcdonald reported to the morning prac- tice and appeared to be in good condi- ton although slow from a winters idle ness. He worked out at third base for a short time, but most of his practice consisted in limbering up. The Bar ons were somewhat stiff after an absence of two days of practice, but went about their work joyfuly.
 Moley found all willing workers and as a result the team will probably be back in good condition for the game to- morrow with the University at Tusca- loosa. The team will leave Birmingham Friday morning and return the same night, playing the college chaps in the afternoon Moley stated yesterday that he would take three fingers, Johnson, Mill Ter and Ponder on the trip, and two catchers, Hauser and Jordan. Red Smith s wing is still too sore for active service.
 For the infield, Derrick first, Clark on second, Caton at short and Lindsay on third will be Moley's choice. Mo Donald will not be taken O'Rourke may supplement Caton on the squad, as Moley has not fully decided as yet. In the out field Coombs in left, Werner in center and Singleton in right will be the trio | fe fa fl1@ (vrs,x1 To-, l~o taken on this trip
 Following the game with the Crimson the Barons will return to Redwood and meet the New York Nationals on Mon- day and Tuesday. Following these games the Barons meet the Kewanee academy. The Barons are not in the best of shape at the present but will be in. good form to face Alabama. The Crimson have a good team and will give the Barons a hard fight.

EDITED BY JACK BETHEA

how the Barons can keep the Pelicans from gaining the prize this season, and MT. Heinemann cites figdre and statis- tics to back up his opinion
 Birmingham stretched itself reach ing 11,4oO,' said President 1deinemann, and we can just jot it down here that Birmingham is not going to better her- last years mark by much in 1916. In. fact. if conclusions are to be drawnf from past occurrences, Birmingham is destined to fall even below her last years record, as she drew more in 1914 than she drew last year. l.
 NOW we can show a decidedly diff ferent chapter ln 1915 we drew only. 5000. in 1914. 750o. and in 1915 nearly II 900. This shows a remarkably big in-s crease. and we need better our last years mark by only another thousand ito practically clinch the cup"
 ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
 Speeches were made at Monday nights meeting by practically all whol attended the mass meeting, and a gen. eral note of enthusiasm was struck all around Plans were discussed for the, distribution of tickets, for the cam paign among commercial houses to gain their consent to declare half holiday. for Friday, April 14 opening day, and, TOT the sale or llcketS.
 More than 1000 tickets were given out at the meeting and this early demand is taken to indicate a record b. seaking crowd for Heinemann park
 Mayor Behrman will be calleI upon by committee appointed anu will be- asked to declare holiday for April 4. It is practically assured that the mayor will grant the request. He is one of the mosf loyal supporters of baseball here fnd besides he appreciates what it would mean to New Orleans to win the cup.
 WINNING CUP MEANS MUCH
 Just what the winning of the cup will mean to this city was Drought out in an address by Dr. Wallace Wood, Jr., who laic stress upon the fact that every red -booded citizen of New Orleans should be at the opening game even if he never has seen a baseball con -test, and even if he does not like the national pastime.
 Every citizen owes it to the city" saia Dr. Wood Think what it will means to New Orleans to be brought be- fore the public eye as the biggest base- bail city in Dixie. And this distinc ton belongs to this city, Why should a city with nearly 400.001 population bc compelled to bow to a town like Birmingham in the matter of crowds?
 | ha, no doubt that all our mer- cI:ar.s and manufacturers will coop crate with the movement to win the at- tendance cup, and it is the duty of those who have enlisted rheif services in the cause to see to it that everybody who car attend is on nand aAr;l lf- If not to cheer the Pelicans n tc victory in the game to swell u crowd 10 propor- tions which will give New Orleans the cup which belongs to it

 'tOrganized baseball conducted it's neso- tia tons looking to an adjustment of base ball conditions with the Federal league as an organization.

Speaking of Fires-What's the Matter With Your Pockets?

The fire fiend has been on the rampage of late and has swept several cities with the bosom of destruction The property losses astounding
 It is only occasionally, however that destruction such broad scale is visible But there is fire which is burning all the time which is harder to Ssput out than the confagrations have referred to and represents greater loss It is the FIRE IN THE POCKETS. We refer to the reckless in which small change is expended by all of us, particularly by those of us who working for daily bread. We native born Americans have not yet learned to value the pennes-in fact inclined to look with sniff of contempt upon the nickel jitney.'' And yet feel uncomfortable, to say the least, when see an Italian Greek come into midst with peanut stand or push cart and pass the road to prosperity The humble unobtrusive for eigner appreciated pennies, went after them and saved them He had been taught thrift in the old try and when he got to the land of larger opportunities he made the lessons pay him handsome dividends. If the waste from the pockets of our people could be stopped it is almost impossible to estimate the of new wealth which would come into sight
 This small change has been wasted because it is not thought worth while to save It is true that a sprnkng of frugal folk have thought and acted other wise, but speaking of the people as whole.
 The Trustees System of Industrial Banking oper- ated exclusively by this company, has to teach the people of the Birmingham District how to value little things. It first adjusts itself to the people by lending them the small sums they need and making them feel that this is not charity but good business our part-n other words, that are just as keen to do business with them the commercial banks
 
 of the value of their wages and salaries and the despsed nckels and dimes begin to be important And when they become stockholders of this company and get some insight into the great things which be accomplished by volume of capital, made up of small sums from many sources the fooishness of thougless spending dawns upon them, and the fire in their pockets dies out Indeed this is the better part of the Trustees System of Industrial Banking, this teaching the people that every penny of their money MAKE MONEY
 When the courage and generosity of the American people shall have been tempered by regard for the value of little things there will be more fires in the pockets and we will enter upon new era of financial strength It makes feel good to know that the Trustees System of Industrial Banking is doing it's part in this great work.

If the Federal league club of Balti- more wins its. suit organized baseball will be liable to attack by the national government, it is said. The differ ence between the suit filed today and the one begun by the Federal league against organized baseball in Chicago in January, 1915, is that the present action is one for damages only, while the former was for an injunction to re- strain organized baseball from continu- ing certain acts alleged to be in viola tion of the Sherman law. To win the present action the Baltimore club must show that organized baseball is in violation of the Sherman law and the Clayton antitrust act. If it proves this and recovers damages, lawyers said tonight the government may have to take cognizance of the courts de- cree.
 The Baltimore club alleges that it was not considered in the negotiations
 
 called peace agreement between or ganizd baseball and Federal league owners and that in consequence it sui fered loss of $300,0 and asks for triple damages under the federal anti trust laws.
