Eddie McDOndZd's ArripQl
 Completes the Baron Roster
No Practice Yesterday On Account of RanMoey Will Work Men Hard Today-Clash With Washington Senators
 Friday at Redwood at 3 0 Clock

The Baron roster is complete.
 The arrival of Eddie Mcdonald, the star third sacker, in camp list of players who are property of the Barons for the coming sea son. Eddie was around yesterday seeing his friends and will be out at Redwood this morning for his first workout of the season.
 Eddie was delayed in reporting on account of the illness of his mother. Eddie winters in Albany, N. Y. He stated he was in fine condition and although late in re- porting, he believed he could round into condition within a week or so.
 The exact time of Eddie's ar rival is in doubt It is reported Eddie slipped into Birmingham early Tuesday night and kept un- der cover Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. However, he's in camp, and ready to go.
 Yesterday was the first day that Moley was forced to cancel the practice. The heavy rain which fell throughout the early morning hours and continuing up into the day caused the Baron chieftain to give his men a day of rest. The rest will most likely do the mem- bers of the squad good as Moley has been driving them hard since camp convened.
 Moley will put the squad through stiff workout today. The Barons will meet the Washington Sena- tors tomorrow and Moley wants to have the squad in the best con dition possible. It will be the first acid test of the Barons and Moley is as anxious as anybody to see what the fellows will do under fire.
 He hasn't definitely decided what moundsmen he will work, but it is probable that Carmen Hil1, Karl Black and another hur1er will get

CHARLEY FRANK ID. PAY HE|NEMANN OR
 RETIRE FROM CAME
New Orleans President Will Press Judgment of $500 Against the Atlanta
 Manager

New Orleans, March 21.-Charley Frank, manager of the Atlanta Base ball club and against whom A. J.. Heinemann, president of the Pelicans, holds judgment for nearly $500, must settle. according to the ruling of the na- tional commission, or he will not be rec ognized by organized baseball.
 August Hermann, chairman of the na- tional commission, at present in New Or leans stated that he had written to Secretary Bruce to get in touch with President Baugh of the Southern league, advising that if the matter is not set tied within a stipulated period Frank VIII be read out of baseball Whether or not Frank is going to comply with the demand of the commission is not known, as the Cracker leader is in At lanta.
 In regard to turning players over to the Pelicans Mr. Hermann says that Pres ident Heinemann has written asking for an nfelder, but as yet Christy Mathew son, manager of the club- has not de- cided the men he intends keeping for the major league season.
 when gotten hold of at his hotel here Thursday night, MT. Frank asserted that there was nothing to be said in connec- ton with the matter and that he would have to refuse to commit himself.
 The manager refused to be quoted, simply saying II IS not HIS tune tO coiH- init himself one way or another in the matter. He took the news calmly and evinced no surprise when the staff spe- cial from New Orleans was read to him.
 The Heinemann matter has been mashed and re-hashed during the last several months, but this IS the first time any overt move has been made on the part of the Pelican president.
 Local fans asserted Thursday night that the national commission would hardly take such drastic steps as to read" the Cracker manager from the Southern league on account of his popu- larity with fans of the league, and also on the many various phases of the sit uation which have been presented.
 The whole business came up when Charlie Frank was managing the New Orleans club. dating back IS far as 1910 and 1911. Those who's followed the diff ferences between Frank and Heinemann at that time are confident that the mat ter will be adjusted in some way with out the commission having to interest it. self further.

Constant Itching AL
 most Unbearable

Only those afflicted with Ec- zema, with it's terrifying irrita- ton and ceaseless itching know what constant torture this disease can cause. The dis ease appears in different ways, sometimes with reckoning and irritation of the skin, some times in the form of blisters. Other cases of Eczema take the form of a dry, scaly condition of the skin that cracks and peels. But no matter in what form the disease appears, it is a source of constant fiery irri- tation that is well-nigh unbear- able.
 Eczema is very often consid- cred a skin disease. This is a natural mistake, as it attacks the skin and it is through the skin that it causes so much dis comfort and suffering. But the real seat of the disease is the blood. The germs of Eczema are in the blood, and the irri- tated and diseased condition of the skin is the result of the germs trying to break out of the system. Beyond the use of antiseptics to promote cleanli- ness, there is no local treatment that will accomplish a perman- ent cure of this disease. And those who have been relying al- together upon salves, soaps, ointments and other local ap-

Orange, Tex, March H.-W hen the wei come news and Outfielder Paddock had come news that Outfielder Paddock had gardener might be expected next week. reached camp today Elberfeld began to apply the ax to the Lookout squad.
 Infielder Montague was sold to the Houston, Texas league club today. Mon tague brought good price. He has no professional baseball experience. having played only in New Orleans league but he is fast fielder and seems to be a good hitter. The youngster made a good impression here, and will get a trial with Houston.
 Outfielder Allison has been given his unconditional release Allison was owned by Detroit and had only been loaned to wired President Navin that he could not use Allison he was ordered to turn the player loose This is Navins way of treating men. Instead of sending Allison off to some bush league club that would force him to accept small salary or face suspension, the Tiger magnate pre- fers to let the player make terms for himself Allison will be heard of some day. but Elberfeld cannot take the time to teach him the game.
 Paddock will report to the Lookouts at once. He has just been heard from and would probably have agreed to terms weeks ago had he got the many messages that were sent him. The former St. Paul oulfielder only had winter camp at the address given Elberfeld and did not visit there this spring. He seems to be anxious to play in the Southern league, and did not bargain over salary.
 All of the St. Paul players who have discussed Paddock with the Lookouts say he is great fielder and a dangerous hit ter, and would still be with the club but for his personal difficulty with the man ager.
 In answer to Elberfelds o s, Presi- dent Navin has wired that the Kid may expect a star outfielder sometime next week. No names were mentioned, but it is pretty well understood that Frank Harper is the man the Lookouts will get Harper seems to want to come to Chattanooga He was on the Tiger bench all last season and he needs action. This Bowden, Harper Paddock and Hyatt The only weak hitter in the bunch is Bowden, but he will probably be carried as utility man, through the training sea- son at least.
 The regulars play the yannigans again tomorrok in Beaumont for the benefit of the high school building fund.
 Wednesday the Lookouts meet Beau mont and either the Chicago White SoN or Houston will be played in Orange Thursday afternoon.

Clark Griffith and his squad will arrive in Birmingham either today or tomorrow morning. The Sena- tors have been in training in Au- gusta, Ga, and only recently broke camp.
 It is probable that Harry Swa- cina will umpire the game. Harry is a veteran ball player and will undoubtedly make a good arbiter The Senators are one of the best aggregations in the American . league. Walter Johnson, the noted speed king of the hill, will be with the Senators and will twirl at least three innings against Moleys youngsters.
 Moley will give number of his Barons chance to show their wares against the Senator's He will begin to wield the ax within a short time and the players will give the best in them in order to make a good impression on their boss.
 The probable lineup of the two teams is as follows:

A BARON A DA Y.
No. HOMER -HAWORTH, CATCHER

Boss MolesWorth has an unusual num- Der of youngsters in camp this season at Redwood who look mighty good, but in Homer Haworth, young catcher from the Northwestern league, he has a req! prospect. Hawortn comes to the Barons with the reputation of being the best catcher in the west and his per- formances at Redwood to date fully em- phasizes this.
 Homer Howard Haworth is his full name. He hasn't been in baseball so awfully long but still he plays the game like veteran. His peg to the bags is fine while his eye at the plate is much better than that of the ordinary catcher in the Southern league last year
 Haworth has already had a major league trial, but the fact that he had a little misfortune probably temporarily ended his career in tfic big tent. Ha- worth was with Cleveland in the Ameri- can league in June, 1915 until August He Twas receiving a fair trial and was making good.
 In sliding into third base one after noon, however, Haworth had his leg twisted and it was broken. He was out for the remainder of the year. Cleve- land sent him out to Great Falls, in the Northwestern league following his acci- dent. and he played there last season.
 Birmingham drafted .l.m from Great Falls.
 Haworth started his professional base ball career in 1913 with the Pendleton club in the Western Tri-State league. He had a fine season and as the result he was drafted by Portland in the Northwestern league. He played with Portland in 1914 and had another fine season.
 He was a big figure in a trade, how ever, and went to Victoria in the same league. Cleveland bought him from Vic~ toria in the middle of the season and he reported at once for a trial His

Memphis, March 21.-Preston Cruthers is no longer a hold-out The Chick sec ond baseman will join Donlins tribes men Thursday. Secretary Watkins of
 the Memphis club yesterday received a wire from Cruthers from his home in Chester, Pa stating that he would leave there today and would reach here Thursday morning. Cruthers has been
 holding out on account of some salary difference between him and the club.
 Charlie Schmidt, manager and catcher of Mobile last season,s secured by the Chicks, joined the tribe yesterday. Schmidt looks in fine physical condition
 to start work. Smiddy stated that he
 had been working hard all the winter around some coal mines near Coal Hill,
 Ark in which he is interested.
 Cy Barger of the 1916 pitching staff
 is due today. Watkins yesterday re-
 ceived wire from Cyrus stating that
 he would shamble into the camp this
 morning.
 The return of Cruthers means that there will be lively scramble for infield jobs. Cruthers without doubt was the
 best fielding second baseman in the league lHt ldSl lWO SedSOIlS. IIeSS WdS a 300 hitter in 1915. but last season fell down some in his swatting.
 Manda, third baseman, secured from the Fort Worth club, and Biting, an- other third sacker. from the Ashevlle club of the North Carolina league, can didates for infied positions, swatted 300 in their respective leagues last season. Leonard Dobard. who stort-stopped for
 the Tribesmen last season and who led the short field men in fielding, is back on the job.
 With it looking at present like diffi-
 cult problem to oust Cruthers from the second base job it looks like fight be- tween Dobard Biting and Manda with third base and shortstop as the goals. Despite a drop in the temperature yes terday Donlin put his flock through a good workout. The morning round con- sisted of batting and fielding practice. In the afternoon Ed Willetts Willing Workers and Donlin's Tribesmen waged Ginning battle, with Donlins troupe gaining to 1 verdict.
 Fentress, Handwerker and Fowlkes hurled three rounds each for Donlin' s side. Neither of the pitchers received any severe punishment.
 Willett, Long and McColl did the pitching for the Willing Workers. Neither W.llett or McColl attmpted anything fancy in way of hurling and consequently the Tribesmen got in some good batting practice. Tommy Long, the

local southpaw, is already in fairly good shape and gave the Tribesmen the most trouble.
 Ruel caught the full six rounds for the Tribesmen Charlie Schmidt made his debut in a Chick uniform behind the bat for Willett's side. It was Schmidt s debut of the season and he took no lib- critics with his flipper. Ruel appeared a little stiff for his first workout of the season Saturday.
 All the older pitchers are taking things easy. but are going along nicely. Chief Donlin is taking every precaution against injuries and so far the spring jinX has not put in an appearance at Russwood.

 Haworthm bats left-handed. He throws right-handed.
 He was born in Newberg, Ore, and has spent practically his entire life in the western states. He winters in Port land, Ore. He is not married.
 Moley has visions of seeing a wonder in HaWorth. He believes the youngster will show even more form as the season progresses. As the outlook is at the present he will be the successor to Mike Hauser on the catching starr, and the change is a great improvement.
 Haworth bats left-handed He throws league and will no doubt make Moley a classy receiver His work labels him as a good man and that's all you can tell 'em by. He's a fine kid and has the pep to become popular With the fans

SKIN ABLAZE
 WITH ECZEMA

pllcatlons to the skin will find that no permenent good will come from such treatment by itself.
 Read how Basil M Lanneau. who resides on Confederate avenue, in Atlanta, Ga., found relief from this terrifying dis ease, after all local treatment had failed. He writes:
 II suffered with most aggra-
 ated case of Eczema, the itching
 pelng so severe that I could not
 sleep. 1 used thirteen pounds of
 ointment, tried nearly every skin
 remedy, besides being treated by
 two skin specialists. l am now con
 vinced that Eczema is nothing but
 blood trouble, for after taking
 several bottles of S. S. S., am en-
 tirely cured"
 Years of untold suffering can be avoided if the real cause of a disease can be definitely determined, and the proper method of treatment employed. Hence those afflicted with Eczema will continue to suffer as long as they con slider the disease condition of the skin. and rely solely upon local appli- cations of salves, ointments and sim- liar remedies. If you really want to be cured you must realize that the dis. ease is in the blood, and you can ex- pect relief only from treatment that is directed toward cleansing the blood of the disease germs. This is why s. s. s. is SO successful in the treatment of Eczema and all other diseases of the blood; because it acts as an antidote to any impurity that finds Judgment in the blood. Being purely vegetable and guaranteed not to contain a particle of mineral substance it is an exception ally fine tonic, and besides eliminating from the blood all traces of impurity, it builds up and strengthens the entire system at the same time.
 We invite every one afflicted with Eczema, or other blood or skin disease, to write our medical department fol advice, which is gladly given without charge. Full instructions as to how to treat your own individual case will be gladly furnished by our chief medical adviser, who is an expert on these dis eases.

Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Jan. 29-Wheat advanced sharply today owing, in large meas ure, to Emperor Williams war mani festo and to the consequent disappear ance Of peace rumors. A new em- bargo on freight shipments eastbounI from Chicago led subsequently to a reaction in prices. Any radical set- back, however. was checked by fears that in the absence of snow covering a predicted cold wave would result in serious damage to the domestic win ter crop.
 Opening quotations, which ranged from to 4c higher. with May at $1.77 @1.79 and July at s1.5O to $1.51, were followed by moderate down turns and then fresh advance.
 Corn shared in the strength of wheat. Offerings were decidedly scarce. After opening 5-S to 3.4c higher. the market scored some addi- tional gains.
 Oats merely reflected the course of other cereals. Pit traders did most of the business.
 Higher prices on hogs gave a lift to provisions.
 Pork led the advance.
