JOHNSON MAKES
 UNIQUE DECISION American League President Upholds Umpire in Mak-
 ing Recent Decision

Chicago, June 9.-President Johnson of the American league has sustained a de- cision of Umpire Chill in the Boston Cleveland game last Saturday which it was said today established a precedent for plays in which an umpire interferes with a base runner. Third Raseman Tur- ner, after making hit for Cleveland, rounded first base and coilided with Chill twice. He then stopped and walked to second base, where he was touched by the Boston second baseman. He was called out at first by the umpire but after a conference with Umpire Dineen the decision was reversed and Turner was allowed to return to first base. Bos- tons protest was disallowed by President Johnson. The case was unique and is not covered by the rules.
 President Johnson also dismissed a Washington protest against home run decision at Detroit Sunday which was covered by ground rules. The decision allowed a home run on a ball which struck in the field and bounded over ropes into the bleachers.

THE ENDLESS CHAIN"
 DANGER OF CATARRH $. S. s. the Proper Safeguard

Catarrh is "cold" in its chronic form. The air is filled with bacteria which is taken into the mouth and nose through the process of breathing. When the body is in healthy condition no harm results. But with our modern methods of indoor living and sedentary occupations, the mucous membranes arc usually not able to throw off" this harmful bacteria, making catarrh q very common ailment. These germs breed and multiply. causing inflamma- tion, the blood rushes to the mem branes to fight off the bacilli. When the blood is in a vigorous condition it's defensive" efforts are successful. Otherwise the cold hangs on"-turns into catarrh.
 Catarrh is chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes. Mucous mem branes are the lining on all the inter nal cavities of the body. Get that--ALL cavities, There Is the endless chain" element of danger.
 The only way to treat catarrh is to purify the blood. The surest way to, purify the blood is to take s. s. S.. Write us for special advice. Swift Sps- cific Co.,, Atlanta. Georgia.

what hampered yesterday by Fred Derrick, the Baron first sacker, suf- fering broken finger. The first finger on Fred's right init was the digit that was put on the ineligible list Fred played the game however. although the mishap came in practice. The injury had some effect during the game for Derrick dropped two throws that he ordinarily handles with ease
 Derrick will be out of the game for sometime, probably a week or 10 days. In the meantime, "Red' Smith will be forced to do all of the catching and Mike Hauser will be shifted to first base. The loss of Derrick will injure the fielding qualities of the Barons, but will not have much effect on the hitting as both Hauser and Smith are hitting around the 300 mark, while Derrick is in a slump
 Danny Clark is also on the injured list, but he is forced to stay in the game. Danny is suffering from a Charley horse, but as yet is not seri- ous enough to force his retirement from the game. Cecil Coombs is still on the ineligible list as the result of his Charley Horse, and will be out of the game for a week more. The said c. HIS are getting rather popu- lar with the Barons.
 Harry Stradford, local product, made his debut as Southern league umpire for the 1916 season yesterday afternoon when he filled the boots of Umpire Bulldog Will Hams, who is under suspension. Harry gave entire satisfaction on the bases and showed that he wouldn't stand for any frolicking when he banished Floyd Kroh for stepping on his toes while the Vol twirler was protesting one of his decisions. If there's a change to be made in the staff, here's hoping Harry gets the first call from the leagues chief
 W. G. Foster in the Chattanooga Times comments as follows on the Barons and affairs in general:
 President Smith of the Birming- ham club. who was in Chatta- nooga Tuesday, returned to Bir- mingham Wednesday with some bad news for Baron fans regard ing the outcome of his trip to the majors for additional players. He says, according to, the Birming- hame Age-Herald, that when he reached St. Louis on his quest for players he found Bob Allen of Lit tie Rock, pr. Inge of Mobile, Tom Watkins of Memphis and Clyde Shropshire all in the city with the same motive for their presence.
 If President Baugh had chanced to be present a quorum of the Southern league could have been declared and a meeting held. Heine- mann of New Orleans, who gets his help from Cleveland, and Frank of Atlanta, who iat that time was offering large slms to the Cubs for players, wei the only mag mates not present, aside from Presi- dent Andrews of Chattanooga
 We fail to see just what Bir- mingham wants with any new pitchers. There is hardly club in the league that wouldn't swap staffs with the Barons. Moley's pitchers have allowed six runs in four games this week and most o1 them due to poor fielding.
 The Vols and the Barons mix in the final game of the series today Elmer Ponder will be Moley's se- lection to do the flinging, while Southpaw Floyd Kroh will prob ably be Ellam's moundsman. Fol lowing the stay of the Vols here, the Travellers come to Rickwood for a series. Then maybe we'll win some.

Following the largest disturbance the ball fields of the Southern league for the 1916 season. President Robert Baugh of the Southern league notified Rick Woodward of the Birmingham club and w. D. Smith, president of the cub that

left the courtroom after shaking hands before the magistrate. The news of Mir BaughS action came later and heaved surprise over all concerned.
 The affair was expressed as regretabe by all parties in the miXup. It also re- yealed the fact that Eddie Mcdonald, third baseman of the Barons, was the Barons field captain. During Moley s absence from the game, the veteran is acting as manager. Moley has said since the start of the season that he had no field leader, but yesterdays developments terd to show that Eddie has been lead ing the Barons on the field throughout the campaign.
 Fans are of the general opinion that Umpire Williams will be dismissed from services of the league as his part in the fracas. Evidence in the police court at the trial yesterday morning indicates that the arbiter struck the first blow, which was the cause of Woodward to get into the mixup. Harry Stradford, local boy and former umpire in the Southern league, was named by Secre- tary McDermott to act in Williams place temporarily. If Williams is dismissed it is considered probab that Stradford vii: gain the appointment
 Either Moley, Smith or Woodward are allowed on the field before the game but as soon as the battle starts they must find rest in other parts than the bench Yesterday Moley found a place in the clubhouse where he could witness the game and passed signals to Dickie Rob- ertson on the bench who flashed them to the players in the field.
 The final action of President Baugh is awaited with the keenest of interest. Predictions of all sorts are being made, eut the official announcement will alone satisfy the curiosity of the fans.
