Over in the Bluff City Cyrus Barger, the ''human clothes pin," is assembling the rem nants of his 1918 machine in an endeavor to patch it up with youngsters and present a strong front in the approaching cam paign. Just now Cy and Presi- dent Tom Watkins are losing lots of sleep over the outfield and receiving departments.
 That Red Smith will be obtained from the Pirates appears to be foregone conclusion, although Manager Bezdek oi the Pittsburg club says he knows noth- ing of such a deal. If Red is turned over to the Chicks another catcher of the younger set must still be signed.
 In the box the Chicks have three vet erans and three kid chunkers, who will stack up pretty well with the pitchers on other clubs. Slattery. the first sacker of last season, and Griffin, a phenom, are the candidates for the initial hassoclS assignment.
 Press Caruthers, the pest keystoher III the league for the past few years. threat ems to retire from the game. Billy South worth, who is visiting here with the Pirates, says that Press is making sl2' an hour playing bali in the Upland league with the Delaware shipbuilding club. At short Hobbs is the only contender, but the Giants have promised to help Mem phis out and they will probably send down a shortfielder if this lad doesn't show the required stuff.

PLAYERS TESTIFY
 IN BASEBALL SUIT
Majors Charged With Hav- ing a Monopoly on Serv-
 ices of Men
By Associated Press


 Washington. March 27.-Testimony de- signed to show that organized baseball controls the market in players through reservation clauses in contracts and thereby is a trust within the meaning of the Sherman antitrust act was con tinued today in District of Columbia su- preme court in the damage suit of tho Baltimore Federal league club against the National and American leagues and certain officials of the .defunct Fed eral league. Witnesses appearing today included number of baseball players, most of whom were Federal league play CTS.
 George Maisel a player, sketched his professional career through the minor leagues, into the major league and then back to the minors. He testified that only g. few days ago a contract had been sent him by a ball club on the Pacifc coast the terms of which were not at all satisfactory. He added that be- cause of the rules and regulations under which organized baseball operates. he either had to accept the unsatisfactory contract or quit organized ball. A de- position containing testimony given in another case by David Fultz, president of the Players fraternity, was read 70 the jury. Fultz asserted the chairman ot the national commission had requested during the contest between the Federal league and the old leagues that the Players fraternity expell any player who jumped to the Federals.
 Counsel for the Baltimore club made an effort to introduce testimony open during previous baseball litigation by Joseph Villa. a New York baseball re- porter, In which Ban Johnson, president of the American league. was quoted as saying some derogatory things about the Federal league. Counsel for the or ganized baseball interests objected to the introduction of this testimony and ar- guments on the objection were proceed ing when court adjourned.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR MER|TONE
 INCREASES DAILY People in All Parts of Bir- mingham Are Taking It. Rundown Woman
 Helped

The demand for Meritone, the new sys- tenn medicine. is increasing every day in Birmingham and 1t now seems that even the tremendous sales made in Chat tanooga, Nashville. Knoxville and many other cities may be surpassed here. News of the real merit of Meritone for ailing conditions of the stomach, liver or kidneys, catarrh and tho like has spread rapidly all over Birmingham.
 Thousands of people in many states are now taking Meritone and among them is Mrs. Helen Barker of e14 Virginia ave nue, Knoxville, Tenn, who said:
 DESCRIBES CASE
 "Three weeks ago I was discouraged about my health, but today I can get around and do my housework 1ust as we'll as I ever did when at my best. The change is due to this new medicine. Meritone
 to the point where I just wanted to rest all the time and didn't have the ambi- ton or strength to do my work or any thing else My stomach was out of order and wouldn't digest my food right.
 ..In three weeks Meritone has changed me so much that have fne appetite now and eat about everything I get my hands on and digest 1t perfectly. I don't have a bit of trouble with my stomach.
 STRENGTH RETURNS
 ssMy strength has como back also. and I just love to get around and do my housework now"
 Thousands of men and women praise Meritone highly for relief 1t has brought them in cases of stomach. liver or kid ney trouble, catarrh complaints and the like.

where agreeable to Carpenter. I be-
 lieve it would be Paris or London. I
 have been told that Carpenter per
 sistently refuses to come to America
 simply because he has a horror for
 ocean travel I don't mind taking a
 trip on the briny deep and I'll take
 one if Carpenter really wants to fight
 me.
 Those who are talking about nc
 formidable foes for Dempsey If he
 wins probably forget Billy Miske.
 There's tough one. He's game, he's
 fast, clever and he can hit. I fought
 him twice and l haven't stopped him yet. That certainly entities Billy to
 another crack at me and as soon as I
 get through with the Willard fight,
 Billy can try once again with me,
 whether I'm champion or not.
 Much has been said about Harry Wills, the negro heavy. I don't know an awful lot about him, but if all the nice things said about him are true, he must be awfully good. If there is a demand for a battle between Wills and myself-a real demand-I don't see why Wills shouldn't be obliged. l haven't drawn any color line. I'm a fighter and If I become champion I shall feel that the best way to prove
 my superiority is to whip every man who challenges memo matter what his color.
 Just now there appears to be al least three men who would be entitled to crack at me if I became the champ. If can win the title, I'll give those fellows battles, if they want them. It perhaps will be a year or a little longer before all of these matches are concluded. By that time, l if I have defended the title successful | ly, it will be likely that one or more heavyweights will have come to the front who will be worthy to battll with the king of pugilism, and whip ping them will take some time. All in all. expect to be rather busy champ.
 Ever since I have become a fighter l 1t has been my ambition to fight every fellow who cares to face me- I haven't quibbled much over terms nor have ] ever squabbled over spotting an oppo- nent from four to six inches in height and reach and from 10 to 70 pounds in bulk. I fear no living man--and l never have. I love the fight game, for nothing gives me greater happiness than to try conclusions with other ringmen."

Jack Dempsey insists that if he wins the championship from Jess Willard he will take on every challenger or repute in this country, in Europe or in Australia
 If he does he certainly will shatter the present belief that he will be an idle king of pugilism. Those persons who have complained because of Will lard's inactivity have pointed out that if Dempsey succeeds him, the "utah Mauler" will not do any more fighting than the giant Kansan.
 Dempsey undoubtedly defend his title as champion if there were any formidable foes." asserts this faction. 'But there is not a fighter In the game today who would be worthy of a trial against 8 champion"
 But Dempsey has a different view point
 'Tt always disgusted me as a fignt fan during my kid days to notice how seldom champions defended their title. said Dempsey Lovers of pugilism want nothing more than to see cham pion who fights frequently in defense of his title. And if l become the champ it will be my aim to defend my honors as often as a worthy foe comes into sight.
 Those who have the idea that there aren't any real foes for champion at this time are a bit mistaken. Georges Carpentier of France has been touted for a number of years as a logical as- pirant for the title. Perhaps if the war hadn't come Carpenter would have gotten his chance. Now that 1t Is over and Carpenter is free to fight, I certainly will be glad to give him a crack at me if I win the championship And if I don't, Jess Willard should fight the Frenchman.
 T am ready now to sign up articles for a match with Carpenter on Labor Day, no matter how my bout with Will lard terminates. I'll fight him any
