CHATTANOOGA CLUB ACQUISITION MARK Infield Fast, Catching Is Good, But Pitching Is
 Only Fair.

Chattanooga, April 23.-(Special.) Although every position on the Chat tanooga club is settled except one in the outfield, the team is still ques- tion mark to Chattanooga fandom. The infield is phenomenally fast, the lpitching fair and the catching as good las the league possesses, but the out field is an unknown quantity and the club has not yet displayed any consid- erable hitting strength.
 The pitching staff consists at present of Rube Marshall. the veteran who has been with the club at times since 1914; Zeke Lohman. who was one of the leagues best pitchers last year; Rusty" Bacon, Lookout in 1917, last year farmed out to the Texas league, and spit -baller of con-
 siderable ability; Noel, a semi-pro sent
 down by John McGraw, and who bids fair
 to be find; Vines. youngster formerly in the Virginia league, and Adams, Dur nam, Conklln, youngsters, some of whom will not start the season. Durham is the | only southpaw on the squad and he seems
 little too young yet for this company. INFIELD GOOD
 Bog Higgins is doing the catching, as- sisted by Earp, a local semi-pro. Dawson Graham at first, Demoe at short, Graff at third, Of last years team, and Billy Gleason, who was with the club in 1917,
 but entered the army, at second, are the | members of the crack infield. Demoe is | rated the best shortstop Chattanooga has seen since Steve Yerkes and Gleason is surprising everyone with his speed Graff and UalI mn tn laS ct form.
 In the outfield, five youths are contend | ing. Lacey, former Georg ga-Alabama l league, is appearing in left field. De- | vereux, a Central leaguer of 1917, who has since been in the army, is at present in center field. Johnny Bates, a. youngster | from last years Eastern league, secured l from St. Paul in the Howard Merritt deal | is in right field. Two other young out
 fielders are ,contending for jobs. Flynn,
 an army prodigy from Camp Slocum, ana | Hatch, a former Eastern leaguer. Flynn 1 has just reported Hatch has been play
 ing right until Bates reported. <. OUTFIELD UNSETTLED l Manager Nicklin has not yet indicated which of his outfielders will start, but
 exhibition games, the batting order will
 be as follows:
 Gleason, second base; Devereaux, cen
 ter field Graaf, third base; Graham, first
 base; Demoe. shortstop; Lacey, center | field Bates, Hatch, right field; Higgins, 1 catcher; Marshall or Lehman, pitcher. 1 Rube Marshall looked like a winner in 1 his last exhibition game of the spring
 Monday, and appears the most likely choice for the opening scuffle. Lohman 1 is not in his best form, and Bacon is tenn. | porarily out of the game

 walkout had been ordered as a pro- test against the demobilizaiton pol icy of the government, the workers contending that the men could be re- leased much quicker than they are.
 Yesterday the chamber of deputies adopted resolution condemning gov ernment measures in regard to the demobilization of the troops being en- tirely dissatisfied with the slow meth ods used to discharge the men
 Considering the action of the cham Der yesterday. the cabinet has de- cided to demand that a vote of con- fidence be given it.

NEW FULTON TRUCKS.
EMBODY FEAT URES'
OF UNUSUAL MERIT.
Designs Meet Demand of
Both Farmer and City
Dweller

Problems having to do with
the use of the motor truck in
soft going, on the farm and on
the road, have apparently been
solved by the Fulton Motor
Truck company, Farmingdale,
Long Island. This progressive
company has just announced
the Fulton Ground Grippers,
designed to promote the wider
use of the motor truck in direct
transportation from the fields
to the market.
Nothing OF late years has excited quite
as much interest as this invention which
requires little loss of time for applica-
tion to the wheels and which need NOT be
removed when the truck. passes from soft
20 hard ground. The grippers are so
placed upon the wheels that they do not
come in contact with hard-going and do
not injure the reads. They grip as soon
rs me wheels bear down into soft ma
terial.
Ground gr.ppers a7e wide IRON bands
with metal cianCes tc'ted diagona1i,,
across the outside of the band. These
ranges aIe sin1itc. to those found on
tractor wheels. They are attached TO
the wheel of the truck in a simple way,
requiring only 70 minutes to place ali
four bands in position for work There
are four Pinch bolts with Special wide
metal bands These bolts are attached
