lowed the Barons to score what proved to be the winning run. Derrick sin gled and worked around to third on outs and scored when Whalen let the grounded go through him. This gave the Barons the battle, 3 to 2.
 There was little fielding to be proud of neither of the games yesterday, Il boobies being chalked up againsr the various players. In the 16 in- nings of play Birmingham was guil- ty of four miscues while the Gulls perpetrated seven. Five of these came in the second battle, but even with the help of such rotten fielding the Barons couldn't push across Win. Oh, well. the boys move over to At lanta today and begin a brief session with Charley Franks Crackers. This will give the fans an opportunity to get a real line on the team as only two have been met so far. Franks club, which got away to a poor start, is now going nicely and the battles should be well worth seeing. The Bar ons have one game here before their long stay beginning on the first of May and continuing until the Fist.
 Roy Ellam's hurler by the name of Rogers is certainly some boy. He let the Lookouts down yesterday with only single safety, which is going some for this early in the season. Andreen.- the catcher the Lookouts got from the Chicks, was the only play CT who could connect safely with the Vol hurler's slants. Nashville, Of course had little trouble in win ming, to 0.
 President John D. Martin of the Memphis Baseball association thinks a whole lot of the arms and legs Of his team. Judging from the insurance pol icy he has taken out on them he re- gards them as pretty valuable base ball bric-a- -brac. A Memphis firm wrote a blanket accident policy on the IS members of the team for $so- OO0 The policy, which is at the rate of S50O0 per man, provides for hand some payment in case any of the players meet with an accident either or or off the field.

Addition of Messenger and Marshall Last Strength to Be Applied, Says
 TabascO Kid

Chattanooga, April 3.-(Special) )-Fol- lowing the purchase of Bob Messenger from Rochester and Rube Marshall from Montreal to bolster the Lookout outf1eld and pitching staffs, respectively, it is given out that the Chattanooga club IS now complete for the season The same announcement has been made from this village some 15 times this spring and there is a general hunch that the era of changes is not yet ended; but for the present, at least Manager Elberfeld will rest on his oars.
 It nas been a strenuous training ana early regular season for tbe Chatttuooga chieftain At first it seemed that he had only one problem ahead-that of de- veloping a hitting outfield though It was apparent that he world have to land one more good pitcher. When Gene Krapp was secured from the Buffalo Feds, it was said that the Lookout boss was on easy s.reet, and could turn his entire attention to outfield selections.
 Such has been far from the tase. It was known that the Lookouts would hit light; it was Believed that they Nt uld be lightning fas on the bases, in the field and strong behind the bat ard they have proven to pc all three except that they have been somewhat weakened by injury in outh catchers and the slgh- ing of ..1dreen f Memphis, and the veteran Tr.I Payne as temporary fill-irs, or possible permanents if they show bet ter than young Towers Kitchens te!ng

With the corning of Messenger, it is be- Heed that the o'tfietd will be Hyatt in right, Messenger in center and either Ovid Nicholson or Fred Nicholson in left with a still further possibility that star will be secured from Detroit about May 15.

treasury beyond showing willingness to spend money when it would really help. In other words, though the strong box was open, Elberfeld has been careful as to how he used the coin. Hyatt, the only man for whom a high price was paid is showing plenty of promise that the money was well spent.
 The fans are not discouraged over the teams poor showing and believe that the warm weather will bring the veteran pitchers to winning form and enable the team to get going

PITCHERS SHOW POORLY

The present lowly position of the Look outs has been due to early weakness in the one department in which the club was supposed to be the strongest-the pitching The clubs two victories have been won by Joe Martina, the New Or leans speed merchant who, after years in the minors, seems to have 'found'' himself at last The two oldtimers, Jim Allen and Gene Krapp, while appearing strong with each trial, have as yet failed to win game and the youngsters, Ben Karr and Lefty Herbert, have shown but little. In this plight of the team the ac- quisition of Rube Marshall is hailed as a big boost The pitching staff eventually will be Martina Marshall, Krapp and Allen, it is believed, if only four are carried Until the sabsters show a bet ter form than they are showing right now, the locals, with their light hitting outfeld and to fill out at shortstop made by the assertion of Rivington Bis land In all, the Chattanooga magnate has tried out 36 players. Five of these have been catchers, but two of them were brought on because of misfortunes to regulars. Four infielders, including the Kid as utility man, have held on straight through, but no less than four players have been tried out in the hope of strengthening the shortfield weakness. Young Smykall is coming through in fine shape now, and probably will alternate with Elberfeld at the position, playing it when the manager has to take rest or do utility duty.
 The Kid has been even more indefatiga- ble in an effort to get together hitting outfield. Twelve outfieders. including Messenger the latest addition. have been on the roster at different times. Not one of the entire addition, viii tne exception of the veteran, Ham Hyatt, has yet been enlisted who could hit the ball su e ess- f,IIT

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR TO DARKEN IT
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
 and youthful with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth- CTS recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which isi quite sensible, as we are living in an age when youthful ap
 pearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. all drug stores sell the ready to- use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle. It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it alGo pro- duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. This ready to- use preparation is a de- ightful toilet resquisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is mot intended for the cure mitiga- sstion or prevention of disease

 This organization is the oldest club in this city and it's membership. pres ent and past. comprises most of all the business and professional men of: Willimantfc. There is no doubt but what if the present officers of the T.. c. c. appoint a committee to confer. with the Alumni" of the club that considerable money will be raised for the benefit of the club. The Jordan fire which resulted in the T. c. C. losing their club rooms has caused, many of the older and, former mem-' bers to realize that their allegiance to the organization should be demon strated financially rather than by words. The prospects are that-if the present officers and members of the club are agreeable many of the former members will gladly join the club once more and do all in their power to con- tinue the life of the organization. ss
 The committee that has been ap- pointed to- secure. temporary quarters for the club were supposed to, make report at Tuesday nights meeting but as their time was limited they could not make the report. A special meeting will be called in the near fu- ture and at this time the committee will make it's report.

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Norwich Household.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The: following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Norwich read CTS.
 Mrs. c. E. Fowler, 5s1 East Main Street, Norwich. says: T am very seldom without Doan's Kidney Pills in the house, which I buy at The Lee & osgood Co. I have attacks of back ache, which come on from a cold. Sometimes overwork brings on dull pains across my kidneys. I don't use Doan's Kidney Pills continually but only when my back aches and feels weak and then I have never failed to get relief. I have always heard Deans Kidney Pills well spoken of and I rec ommend them highly in view of my own experience with them"

A large force of men are at work on both buildings and it will not be long before the land is cleared so that the rebuilding may be begun.
