GERMS CAUSE
 DECAY OF TEETH
Dental Science Says Germs Act in Three Ways-Produce Acids That Erode the Enamel; Infect Gums, Caus- ing Pyorrhoea; Infect Throat and Tonsils, Causing Sore Throat, Tonsilitis and Sys- temic Poisonings.

Dental authorities agree that if you would have your teeth last a lifetime
 and avoid the many local and systemic diseases that come from an unhealthy mouth and infected gums, throat anu tonsils you must sterilize your mouth ana throat night and morning, as a part of your daily toilet. Dental Science has
 perfected an agreeable and most effec- tive sterilizing solution called Steroline which absolutely sterlizes the mouth,
 teeth and throat, penetrating even be- tween the teeth.
 Sterolne, used as a mouth wash and
 gargle night and morning, soon becomes
 most enjoyable and refreshing part of the toilet. It imparts a most delightful sensation of freshness, cleanliness and comfort to the mouth and throat, purify ing the breath even of smokers and pre- venting pyorrhoea, throat irritation colds, tonsiltis and many other con- tagions that gain entrance through the mouth.
 Telephone your druggist now for a bottle of Steroline and begin today to enjoy its delights and protection. A
 large bottle, enough for the entire fam
 fly, may be had for half a dollar.-Adv.

Levine as the receiver. Hoyt is the kid who was picked up few years ago by John McGraw because he had made a splendid record as a schoolboy pitcher. McGraw gave him few chances and then lost patience. Eventually the kid, now only 19 or 20. arrived with the Sox, found himself this year, and is pitching like a world beater.
 The Dodgers own four youngsters who look great. They are Neis, the new right fielder; Hood. another out fielder; Taylor, a catcher, and Mohart, a pitcher.
 The Pirates have a new first base man in Grim. He's doing well and leoks as if he'll stick. Manager Gibson plans to hang onto catchers Haeffner and Lee also.
 The Phillies have newcomers in Ralph Miller. a third baseman of real worth; Wrightstone, an infielder; Weinert, a pitcher who has displayed plenty of stuff, and Le Borveau, an outfielder.
 The new faces in the Cubs dugout are: Friberg, an infielder; Twombly, an outfielder, and Turner and Cav, pitchers. Four newcomers are on the Cardinals roster, too. They are Muel- Ter, an outfielder; Blades, an infielder, and Pitchers Haines and Schultz.

New York Broker .WinSWa WagerWhen He Climbs Stairs

New York, May 4.-Howard Lee C.. Roome. a real estate broker who years ago was 8 star halfback and pole vaulter at Yale, today won a wager or s1,600 from J. Ford Johnson, another broker, by climbing 940 steps in the Equitable building. 47 stories from boiler room to flag pole in the record time of minutes, 51 2-5 seconds. Sew eral thousand dollars are said to have changed hands on the sporting event among friends of the men.
 The recent elevator operators strike was responsible for the odd contest. Roome and Johnson had to walk up several flights one morning when the elevators were shut down. Johnson was out of breath when they reached their floor and Roome laughed at him and twitted him at his fatigue.
 Why. I can go from cellar to the flag pole in 15 minutes" said Roome as he watched Johnson panting. Money says you can't" retorted Johnson.
 The contest was arranged for this afternoon and the principals and a timekeeper were on hand with a little group of friends. The wager stipulated that Roome was not to run up any of the AT flights of stairs. and that if he won he was to get s1,000 and $100 for each minute less than 3 taken , in the climb When Roome reached tho roof he was bathed in precipitation, his collar was wilted and his face high ly colored.
 Not bit tired" he said "A It, tie warm, that's all"

 The dream of major league mag mates has come true this season, for from out of the crop of "bushers" more than half hundred youngsters have developed into regulars.
 |The oldest inhabitant cannot recall any diamond year in the past dozen when so many rockies" have shown big league ability. And the fact that youths have stepped into the breaches made by the slowing up or retirement of the veterans is most heartening. in deed. For it means that the brand of big league baseball instead of being lowered by the playing of old timers. is speeded up by the acquisition of the speed boys who add dash fire and en- thusiasm to every game.
 Frankie Frisch, who got a trial with the Giants toward the flag end of 1919, is regarded as basebalPs biggest prize. The young third sacker ranks with the best in the game, and John McGraw says he wouldn't sell him for $50, ,000 Statz, an outfielder; Kelly, the first baseman; Smith, a catcher and Ryan and Hubbell, pitchers, are the other Giant finds. Kelly is still a bit crude, despite the fact that he has had two or three other trials with the Giants, but he Is improving with every new game. Statz looks great at bat and afield. The young pitchers haven't had much of Q chance so far, but what they have shown iS delighting the New York fans.
 The Braves are exhibiting Eayrs, 2 pitcher who has been performing mar velously; Ford, a chain lightning in- fielder; youngster named Sullivan who is showing splendid outfielding ability, and ONeill, a catcher Eayrs and O'Neill make up a pony battery that sizes up as one of the best in either league.
 The Red sox possess a young battery | that also is par excellence. It consists | Of Waite Hoyt on the f1inging end, and

Rules
 Of Baseball
 Seem Strange

With umpires and players fretting un- CT rule changes all fandom is watching he indicator man to see how some of the new code fixtures are going to be inter- preted. Baseball, especially in the major leagues, has grown to such proportions the code was necessarily enlarged upon to take care of the hundreds of proposi- tions that might come up in an ordinary 1lontest. A comparison of the rules of Malay and those of the early days is /Eteresting. The first code drafted is Fespecially interesting because of it's brew ity. Here is the first set of rules drafted for baseball. It was framed by the old Knickerbocker Club back in 1S45:
 Section 1.-The bases shall be from home" to second base, 42 paces; from first to third base, F equidlstant
 Section 2-The game to consist of 2l counts or aces, but at the conclusion an
 number of hands must be played. s. ~.. ~tion 3-The ball must be pitched, and not thrown, for the bat.
 Section A ball knocked outside the range of first or third base, is foul
 Section 5-Three balls being struck at and missed and the last one caught, is a hand out if not caught, is considered fair, the striker bound to run.
 SeGIIOH b--A Dall DeiuS SlIuCh UT lippetl and caught either flying or on the first ,bound is hand out.
 Section "A player running the bases shall be out if the ball is in the hands of an adversary on the base, or the runner is touched by it before he makes his base; it being understood, however, that in no instance is a ball to be thrown at him.
 Section s-A player running. who shall prevent an adversary from catching or getting the ball before making his base is hand out.
 Section 9-If two hands are already out r player running home at the time a ball Ss struck, cannot make an ace if the Striker is caught out.
 Section 10-Three hands out, all out.
 Section 11-Players must take their strike in regular turn.
 Section 12-No ace or base can be made on q foul strike.
 Section 13-A runner cannot be put out in making one base when a oak is made by the pitcher.
 Section 14-But one base allowed when the ball bounds out of the field when struck.
 Although the code would seem queer for the game today, it will be observed that the fundamentals of the game are fairly we'll covered. Section was chaneed

Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come to US on Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to 28,000 miles of service. And tales of that kind are told everywhere. we learn.
 But mileage depends on condi- tions - on size, care, load and road. Millers are uniform, but they are not used under uniform conditions.
 In our factory tests we average 15,0O0 miles on Cords.
 But Miller Tire will outiast-. almost always-a any tire that you place opposite, no matter what it costs. Compare them under like conditions, and see what mileage modern tires can give.
 You will gain a new criterion.
 When you buy new car insist on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now supply them and there is no extra charge.

Tire Prices
 Some False Ideas About Them

Shonld am exfya b,1ee 6uy an extra eyade tfree
 It should not. Any frst-grade tire should be built as we'll as tire of that type can be built.
 Cord Tires cost more than Fab rics, and are worth the extra price. Men who figure cost per mile arc coming to Cord Tires.
 But any tire, Cord or Fabric. should be built for the utmost ser- vice which that type can give.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-06
We Insist on This

There are three requirements which Miller Tires must meet.
 First, they must average greater mileage, type for type. than any rival tire.
 We constantly prove this. Eight machines in our factory run two tires each under rear-tire conditions. Each tire is run $50 miles daily by running extra-fast.

Completely reversing the form dis played in the first few games of the season, the Barons have come through in grand style in their last eight games, the battles staged on the pres ent road trip. Only one game has been lost. Six have been won and
 one tied.
 The Barons have pulled themselves up from the depths of the cellar neighborhood, and are now aggressive contenders for first division honors. To be exact. Birmingham is but two games away from select company.
 To use a little supposition. if New
 Orleans loses today and Birmingham
 wins, the Barons will slide up another peg and reside In fourth place, close On the heels of the Crackers. Birming- !, ham has risen two places in as many days The Travellers were disposed of yesterday.

 The Barons will be home tomorrow for stay of four games. Uncle John | McClosky will have his Chicks out at Redwood for three games, then Roy
 E1lam and his Vols will be here for | a single encounter. Then Birmingham jumps to Nashville for a couple of games.
 We will see for ourselves what those l league leading Chicks have really got when they play here tomorrow. Me- 1 Closky seems to have a hard-hitting, | fast-fielding bunch, but in the main
