LONDON, Jan. 2O-The brief dis
patch that the Russians have taken
Kashan in Persia brings another ro-

Belgium's Benefactor
.on1 Tit-Bits


 Hoover? Who is Hoover?' someone asked, at war conference, recently. The ignorance was excusable, for few people know who or what Hoover is, although to quote the words of a member of Pres ident Wilson's cabinet. Hoover is the American of all Americans who has played the most important part in the great trag- edy being enacted in Europe"
 Herbert c. Hoover, who is head of the Belgian relief fund, and has directed the expenditure of 910,00O 900 in recent months is one of the most brilliant engineers and fnanciers in the world. Europe has dec orated him for his achievements in min ing engineering, and he is a member of many scientific and learned societies
 His greaest engineering work has been achieved in China, where he has opened up mines and vast networks of railways Starting life as 6 farmers boy, he worked barefooted in the fields. Hoover paid for his own education, supporting him self for four years at Stanford univer- sity, afterwards qualifying for various mining appointments achieving repu- tation in Mexico and California before coming to Europe and becoming such a power in the mining and engineering world. It is a saying that where Hoover leads other men follow, and today the former farmers boy is sought by royalty and the business of kings of the world. ! From his office in London he directs his l huge mining operations in all parts of the globe, as well as the great relief 1 work for unhappy Belgium.

Chattanooga Officials
 Will Drop Bisldnd Case
Players Conflicting Letters and Refusal to Sign Affidavit Causes Case to Be Dropped-Bisland Advised of Impending Suspension

Chattanooga. February 29-(Special.) Chattanooga baseball officials have aban- doned hope of obtaining redress in the Rivington island case. Failure of the former Atlanta shortstop to furnish an affidavit that his salary was $50 month last year has left the local club without a legal claim to press
 The shortstop's letter to Elberfeld, say ing that be did receive the $350, is on file in President Baugh's office, but this is in contradiction, not only to his letter to Atlanta, but the affidavit he signed at the time he signed his contract year ago. President Andrews has written the player that he is unable to understand or reconcile the contradictory statements contained in his two letters and that as he (Bisland) probably doesn't care to re- port to Chattanooga at the salary the local club can pay there is no alterna- tive left but to suspend him. -a
 The suspension probably will be ordered sometime before the season starts. Chat tanooga fans are wondering just what are the facts in the Bisland case-whether the shortstop made big bluff for addi- tional salary or really received the bonus" from Atlanta and is afraid of the consequences that might ensue to him, from the league, if he signed an affidavit that he and the Atlanta club had thus violated baseball law.
 The release of "Jefr' Clark, Lookout boxman who was claimed from Nashville last year, was due entirely to the prohibit tion of the "mudball'' at the winter meet ing of the league.

Pritchard to Be Referee. Strange Returns to Game for the Athletic Club.
 Interest Is Intense

Coach Alpha Brummage. of the Birming- ham Athletic club advised the Young Mems Christian association yesterday by mail that the first game of the city cham pionship series would be played on the ''Y court on March g. The Athletic club had the choice of selecting the place where the first game would be played and the announcement did not come as sur prise to followers of either aggregation.
 Coach Pritchard of Central High will referee the first scrap, while T. c. Young, principal of Barker school, will umpire. The second game of the series will be played at the Birmingham Athletic club on March IA, while the third game, which will be played on March r, will be decided by the toss of coin Young will referee the second game, while Pritchard will umpire.
 The departure of Robinson from the Birmingham Athletic club lineup during the latter part of last week lessened the Athletic clubs chances considerably and followers were somewhat in doubt IS to who would be the choice of Coach Brum- mage. All uneasiness was settled yester- day when the announcement that Luther Strange, the former center of the five, would get back into action. Strange had to retire from the game early in the sea- son from an injured arch in his left foot. Coach Brummage, however, is confident that the veterans foot will not hamper any of his old-tme effectiveness.
 Practice is being held daily by both teams. Coach Brummage is dickering with Alabama for return game either here or at Tuscaloosa. He is anxious of keeping his warriors in fine condition and will arrange a game for the latter part of the week. probably Saturday.
