To Prepare the System for Spring

The change of seasons is al ways severe on the human sys- tenn. Particularly is this true of the change from winter to spring. With the change of seasons there is also a change going on within the human system that is very trying on the average person, unless na- ture is given some assistance.
 The severity of winter has a wearing effect and leaves the body in a rundown condition. That is what is meant by the general debility which seems to affect so many people, common ly called "Spring fever" Any one is liable to feel it's depress- ing influence.
 At this season men who are vigorous and active, and need all their strength in their daily pursuits, find creeping over them a feeling of weakness which increases until their en- tire system becomes worn-out and a breakdown seems imml- nent.
 Women become nervous and tired, their household duties seem more than they can stand, they can hardly drag them selves around, so weakening is the all-run-down" feeling which takes possession of them.
 Spring ailments are common to children, for this is the sea son that is most severe on their little bodies. They become puny, lose appetite, are cross and irritable, all because they

HOW THE BARONS GET IN CONDITION

Here are two scenes showing how the members of the Baron roster get in condition for the strenuous season ahead. The top picture shows group playing polo. Harry Swacina, the former Mobile player, is the big figure in the picture. The player with the sweater on is Elmer Ponder. Homer Haworth, Baron catcher, is guarding the goal and is the small figure. The lower picture shows a pepper" game. Reading from left to right: Bob Loveless, Eddie Mcdonald, Harry Swacina and Red Smith.
 These two methods of conditioning are always used in the morning prac- tice A regulation indoor baseball and broomsticks are used by the players for the polo game. It gives the play CTS an abundance of exercise and works wonders in limbering up the muscles. Moley favors both games and although the pepper game is used in all training camps the polo game is considered too dangerous by some.

.ELbERFELD'S SSQUAD
 LEFT IN FINE FORM
Team Was in Excellent Con- dition When Training
 Camp Was Broke

Chattanooga, March 27.-Announcement from Orange Tex, is to the effect that the Lookouts training jaunt has been an unqualified success. Kid ElberfeiG and his cohorts left their Texas cam Friday night on the trip northward Il better condition than any Chattanooga team has ever enjoyed at this stage ot the season.
 The pitchers, it is reported will begin to go the full nine-inning route next week, while the catchers are already peg ging them to the bases in most approved fashion. The infield and outfield are cavorting about in mid-season form.
 The Lookouts' stay at Orange has been a success financially, too. All of the practice games there and at Beaumont have been well attended. Elberfeld' s challenge to the Texas league clubs to prove in mortal combat with his clan that they were inferior to the Southern league outfits caused the keenest rivalry aginable in the settos and resulted in capacity crowds. It is not at all unlikely that the Lookouts will invade Texas again next spring.
 Elberfeld announced upon his departure from Orange that he would carry all present members of his squad until the club reached Chattanooga, which is the opening day of the season here., This means that the following squad will get chance beneath the Lookout banner in the full heat of battle:
 Pitchers-Marshall, Allen, Merritt Knowlson, Rock, Bacon and Gaston.
 Catchers-Kitchens, Peters and Koehler.
 First Baseman-Sheehan.
 Second Baseman-Pitler.
 Shortstops-E -Elberfeld, Watt and Berg man.
 Third Baseman-Graff.
 Left Ffelders-Harper and Bowden.
 Center Fielder-Paddock.
 Right Fielder-Hyatt.
 Of the men in the foregoing roster, all but Harper and Paddock, are already in camp and in mid-season form. Pad dock will arrive within the next few days, while Harper, who is working out with the Detroit Tigers at Waxahatchie, is expected momentarily.
 Elberfeld is confident that a pitching staff selected from his present squad of sharpshooters will easily be able to hold its own in the Southern this season. The Kid believes that in Marshall and Allen he will have the best right-hander and southpaw, respectively in the league. To fill the three remaining berths, Merritt, Knowlson, Rock, Bacon and Gaston ap- pear to furnish ample material.

What the Scribes of DiTie Are Saying About Baseball

Unless some other misfortune overtakes the Lookouts they are due for a good start this year.-Chattanooga Times.
 The prospects of war with Germany will have no affect upon the opening of the 1917 baseball season, according to Ban R. Johnson, the ruling spirit of the na- tional commission. In a statement issued in Chicago Johnson states that the American league and the other organiza- tion will start on scheduled time and will not disband unless the Unitel States should become so deeply involved in war as to require all her able-b bodied men al the front. Johnson evidently believes that Americas participation will be confined to naval and financial lines.-Chattanooga News.
 Clark Griffith, of the Washington Sena- tors, told Carlton Molesworth, manager of the Birmingham Barons, that the last named gentleman has an excellent chance for the Southern league pennant this season.

CENTRAL CLASHES
 WITH ENSLEY HIGH

Coach F. A. Pritchard of Central High will send his squad of ball tossers up against the nine of the Ensley High school this afternoon on the T. C. I. field in Ensley. The game will start about 3:30 o'clock.
 The locals are in fairly good shape for the game. Coach Pritchard has been prevented from working his men during the past week on account of the inclem- ent weather but is satisfied they will make good showing against Coach Craig's outfit.
 The Ensley crew is supposed to be in excellent shape. Coach Craig has been working his men hard for the clash and is out after the state high school cham pionship.
 Rives, Levie and Jackson will hurl for Central with Hall behind the bat. The Ensley battery men have not been se- lected.
 Both teams are out for the state cham ponship and consequently a close battle is expected. It is the opening game of the season for both teams.

The Volunteers are in the poorest con- dition of any ball club in the Southern league.
 The fact that the weather has been worse this season than in many springs
 is responsible, and until the champions get some good, warm weather they will continue to remain out of shape. The weather has been so cold that the ath- letes have not been able to get up sweat as yet. and with the opening of the season but a few short jumps away the champs are going to have to hurry if they are ready when the bell taps.
 None of the Vol pitchers have their arms in shape and are afraid to cut loose any on account of the chilly weather Nashville Tennessean.
 If Kid Elberfeld and his 1917 Lookouts had not gone to Texas for spring train ing they would have had but five pretty days so far, according to a fan who says he has kept count of the baseball after moons during the past month This may not be exactly true, but it is not far wrong. There is no doubt but that the Kid will have an ledge" on the entire league when the season gets under way next month. Some of his pitchers have not come round as yet, but they will be in shape to work when they meet Atlanta April F, and the infield and outfield should be in midseason form, with the single exception of Paddock.
 Nashville, Little Rock, Memphis and Birmingham will not be ready Atlanta and Mobile have donesa little better, but not much. Johnny Dobbs has been fa- vored by good weather and should be able to put a likely lot of men into the fight from the first.

 NEED s. s. s.
 RIGHT NOW

are not in the proper physical condition to stand the change.
 Why is this general run down, "good for-nothing" feel ing so prevalent just at this sea son? The reason is easily ex- plained, and the condition can be readily corrected. There are certain demands made upon the human system every day, and weather conditions play an i'm portant part with the functions of the body. Impurities have accumulated during the long winter period, your blood has become sluggish, and as the health of your body depends upon the condition of your blood, it is impossible to be wig orous and feel buoyant when it contains the slightest impurity.
 Nature needs assistance, and the feeling of lassitude is her distress signal calling for aid. She needs a cleansing tonic that will sweep away the accumu lated impurities and prepare the system for the bright and sunny springtime.
 It is right now that everybody needs a few bottles of s. s. s., the greatest blood purifier and tonic. This is truly natures own remedy, for it is com posed only of the roots and herbs of the forest, being guaranteed purely vegetable, and absolutely free from any particle of mineral substance. It promptly cleanses and revitalizes the blood. renews the appetite and imparts strength to the entire body. It should be taken right now by every member of the family. Resolve that this spring will find you and yours prepared for the change, and you will have a new enjoyment in the change of seasons.
 You can obtain s. s. s. at any drug store. Our medical department will send you, without charge, full informa- tior and advice in regard to any kind of blood disorder. Address Swift Spe- cific Co, 95 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta, Ga

A BARON A DA Y
ELMER PONDER, PITCH

Boss Moley has young twirler in camp
 this spring who promises to have his
 banner year with the Barons. And he's
 no new conner in these regions. Elmer Ponder, the big recruit from last sea sons team, is again on hand. He is in fine shape and Moley expects him to have the best season in the history of his 1 baseball career.
 Charles Elmer Ponder is his complete title He halls from the little town of Man. gum, Okla. Elmer is one of the few thousands from Mangum, but he has the l chance to make the little town famous this season.
 Elmer came to the Barons last year a raw recruit. He had the stuff. however,
 and slowly under Moleys guiding hand, he developed into the second best hurler on the staff. He won the greater part of his games and finished the season with a l pitching average of over 600.
 ] And now he's back with greater pros jpects than ever. He had the experience and the chances are that he will go to the big show before the conclusion of the present campaign.
 It was back in 1913 when Elmer started his professional baseball career. He joined the Dallas club in the Texas league and played the entire season there. He hurled around the eco mark. The fol-
 lowing year, Elmer, although owned by
 Birmingham, did not report here for trial. and was sent to Grand Rapids in the Central league. He fell below the 800 mark in his hurling average.
 In 1915, the Barons sent Elmer to the
 San Antino club in the Texas league.
 He had great season, and Moley brought
 him here for a trial last year. He made good from the start. Elmer has little ambition, also. Dur
