CENTRAL WINNER
 OVER NASHVILLE
 HIGH CAGE TEAM
Locals Have Little Trouble in Securing Big End of 26 to s
 Score

Playing the last game of their
 season, the Central High school
 CrimSons fully lived up to their
 reputation of the past season, and
 won an ensy victory over the Nash
 vile High school basketball team.
 At no stuge of the game was Nash
 viIle dangerous, and when the
 final whistle blew, the score stood
 2g to $.
 Nashville offered very little in the way of resistance. The CrinSons broke loose and scored at viii. while, on the contrary, the Nashville boys were able to net but three field goals. However, very little luck attended the efforts of the Tennessee players, and several sure goals were lost by the apparent dis like of the ball to stay where 1t Wac put.
 Crane and Barks. guards on the To- cal quintet, played splendidly al their positions. Ialton and Thompson tried hard and willingly to break loose, but each time one of the Crimsons would be hanging on, preventing accurate shooting for the basket.
 Fred Hahn, captain Of the Birming- ham team. was right yesterday. and netted seven field goals and two fouls, total of 16 points. Hahn had almost uncanny ability yesterday, and seemed tc be able to do anything with the ball. His work was excellent
 Lawley center played consistently, and his defensive work, together with that of Stubbs, was a feature of the game. Each was a good point scorer also.
 Halton and Thompson, Nashville tried hard, but were unable to do much against the Crimsons. Snake Brain" Halton played a good defensive game. Emery lanky center for the Nashville team. played well at his position. Boone and Night showed up well in the last half.
 The line-ups and number of points scored by each player follow: Central (26)-Hahn 16) and Stubbs (4), forwards; Lawley (6), center; Barks and Crane, guards Substitu- tions-Robnson for Stubbs. Copeland for Hahn, Gideon for Crane. Nashville High (S)-Halton (S) and Thompson CD, forwards; Emery (3), center; Boone and Night, guards. SutE 1 stitution-Whitef for Thompson.

 gain his lost crown. and states that he will do his best to throw OIin
 tonight, and thus begin the upward
 climb to championship heights
 again.
 Oln, grand old man of the mat and veteran of many campaigns. is un- daunted by the loud threats of the "Strangler,9 but has been going about his business for the past three weeks. He has been making it his business to put himself in the best of condition for tonight's bout. He has no dreams of a championship at present, but has set his mind on tossing the confident "Strangler' out of the right tonight.
 Excitement is expected to run wild at the B. A. C tonight, for two "hard . boiled grapplers" meet, when Lewis and Oln get together Both men pos sess the distinction of having sent Waldek Zbyszko, the daddy of them all when it comes to rough house, out of the ring, in sorrowful and humbled condition. 1t was only d year
 
 sleep, and did it here in Birmingham It was in a match at the Jefferson the- stre. Zbyszko fouled the "Strangler,' who immediately clamped on his dread ed head lock, then barred. Several minutes later after ten or eleven men including Doc Roller. famous grappler had pried, pulled and carried Lewis off Zbyszko, the latter was escorted to a sick bed. where he remained until his badly abused neck recuperated.
 It is well known that Olin came out on top in a fracas with Zbyszko. He did not use wrestling tactics to accom- plish this, but merely slammed his right into the mighty Poles optic, caus- ing whole consultations to revolve be- fore the latter organ. A rough house and a wrecked one, is to be expected il Lewis and Olin decide to engage in a little fistics or other entertainments uncalled for on tonight's programme The prelims will begin at S:30 to- night, with the big affair following i'm mediately after the junior programme is completed.

 "So I cancelled all orders about car rying the fight to Kilbane and told him to go along easy at least during the first dozen rounds. And Johnny did. At the end of the thirteenths round Johnny's easy fighting tactics had
 made it possible for Kilbane to secure a lead of about three rounds on points.

MckeLs Worth Of Chewing
 Gum Cost Dundee a Title
Just Before Battle With Kibane, Champion Johnny Swal- lows Wad of Gum, Which Slows Him Up
 in Fight-Loses
By JAMES J. coRBErT.

Five cents worth of gum cost John
 ny Dundee the featherweight cham
 pionship of the world.
 This is the statement that comes
 from scotty BIonteith, former manager Of the Italian battler.
 Dundee battled Johnny Kilbane on
 the coast in 1913, year after Kilbane annexed the title. The decision of
 Referee Charles Eyton that the con-
 test was a draw after twenty rounds of furious fighting provoked severe criticism. The consensus of opinion of the crowd was that Dundee had safe lead on points. Monteith states that if it hadn't been for a nickel bundle of chewing gum the lead which Dundee would have scored in that fight would have been so pronounced that even a blind man would have been able to do ! nothing but give the contest to the Italian.
 Here is the story:
 "The boys were to fight on a Tues day night. On the Saturday previous Johnny, over whom always kept a watchful eye, took an afternoon off to take part in some sort of benefit af- fair that was given by one of the local newspapers. It was an outdoor event anu SChoANNAc c1p4S duSty ALdI QdS- ny's throat got dry and he decided that chewing gum would help matters con- siderably. So he bought five cents worth of gum and began chewing the whole pack.
 SWALLOWS GUM Later in the afternoon he went to barber shop and got his shoes shined. As he was getting off the stand, the bootblack bumped against him and Johnny swallowed the wad of gum. He said nothing at all to me about it, and I never knew that he had swallowed any gum until Monday. On Saturday Johnny was in the most perfect phys I ical condition of his life. On Sunday 1 he still showed up wonderfully we'll and I felt that he was ready to travel at top speed against Dundee. But on Monday something seemed wrong with 1 him. He was off his feed. rather hot and feverish and I couldn't figure out 1 what was the matter. He seemed slow ! and sluggish and very restless in his l actions. l During the day I kept prodding him with questions in an effort to find out I what was wrong. He said he didn't I know what it was, and I asked him to l trace all his actions on Saturday. In a

THE EXEMPTION
FOR DEPENDENTS

In order to clear away misunder-
standings as to what constitutes de-
pendency, in connection with the adj
ditional exemption granted Income
Tax Payers, Collector of Internal
Revenue, D. C. Hayward, today gave
out the following statement:
"For 1919 a taxpayer may be al
lowed a credit of 5000 for each per-
son for whom he is the chief sup
port. But it must be remembered
that he can claim this additional eX-
emption only with respect to chill
dren II years of age or younger and
persons mentally defective, crippled,
and persons old enough to be without
question physically incapacitated for
self support.
If the taxpayer contributes to the
support of some relative or other
person who is over II years of age
in fair health, and still active, he
cannot be allowed the additional 5000
even if he is furnishing the chief
support.
The very different requirements
of the two exemptions ("head of FAM
lily" additional $1,000; "Dependent"
additional s2OO) must not be con-
fused. To be the "head of family"
the person whom he supports must be
close relative, titled to exemption
for dependent" the person whom ne
supports does not have to be a rela-
tive, but can be any child or any
cripple or defective; the child or in
capacitated adult may live anywhere;
and it is necessary that he furnish
only more than half of his support.
The chief difference is that for

ject of which is to promote the home;

fective, the object of which is to re-
cognize material assistance given

A son, who has left home, but who
still sends his mother more than half
of her support with enough regulari-
ty that she may depend upon it, can
be allowed the additional 5000; pro-
vided, however, that the mother has
become sufficiently aged to be with
out doubt physically incapacitated
for self support. Otherwise, the
amount must Nbe contributed as a
gift, not deductible as an expense

vide for the expense of his support
in the station of life in which he is
placed the father cannot claim the ex-
emption with respect to that child,
for, although the child is legally de-
pendent upon him he is, in fact,
financially independent.

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have besn
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; @-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
YOU have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physl-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with llthla'
and has been used for generations TO
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so 1T
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes delightful, eher'
vescent lithia-water drink.
