the road to the championship I told hlm about it one night. He was skepti- cal.
 Jack he said, I'm not sure that I'm as good as you say. And if Pm not, I'll be in bad place by passing up good job to be a fighting bum I've got few people looking to me for support and I'm trying to buy little farm on the installment plan for my mother and father. I can't take dances
 Do as I say and in few years you'll be able to buy 'em a half dozen farms told him.
 "So Jack, although reluctantly quit his job and we began chasing around for fighters. Willie Meehan was the first opponent-and Willie was a sensa : tion on the coast just then. But Jack whipped Willie to q frazzle that night in Frisco.
 "A week later Jack knocked Al Nor ton for goal in one round and fol- lowed it up with a one-round victory over Charlie Miller In rapid suc- oession Jack knocked out q dozen fight ers-most of them in a round or two He was performing in spectacular style. So much so that q lot of people figured l was getting nothing but set ups for him
 And ore of those people was Fred Fulton. He learned quickly the folly Of his reasoning. Another was Jess Willard. who thought Jack an over ratted fighter, false slarm--a joke So he agreed to fight Jack--and what happened is something of too recent date to require memory refreshing for anyone"

MANY PLAYERS ID REPORT FOR THE
 SPRING PRACTICE
25 Candidates Already An nOunced-Others Are Ex- pected-"Ha Hen-
 dersOn Out

Carleton Molesworth, chief tian of the Barons, has ac- quainted himself with the lay of the land now, and an- nounced yesterday afternoon that from now until the open ing of the baseball season in April only hard work is in store for himself and other Baronial moguls.
 Moley has already begun his annual task of getting together baseball team. and up to date has twenty Ave players in line for the spring try-outs, eleven of whom are veterans of last season.
 With the exit of Billy Webb. returned to the Pittsburg Pirates, gaping hole is left at third base. However, the diff ficulty will in all probability be solved by the transfer of Stevenson from shortstop to the vacant sack. This leaves shortstop open, but Moley stated that he has his eye on one or two pros pectlNos Wno promise 10 measure up to requirements
 It is thought that, Lucy Hairston, second string catcher and able utility man. will give up his plans of quitting baseball and will report to Moley this spring.
 It was very noticeable fact last sea- son that the greatest weakness of the Barons was the pitching stan. Com sequent1y, the Birmingham moguls will nYake a great effort to strengthen this department of the game this season. Thirteen candidates will try for the hurling corps, five of whom are 1919 Barons. The others, eight youngsters are rather unknown quantities as yet

CINCINNATI MOGULS
 NOT WORRIED OVER SALARY QUESTION
Garry Hermann States That All Players Will Be Content With Ad-
 justments

"If tsIe aIarmistS wonld let us
 alone we would have no trouble
 with so-calIed hoIdOuts," is Garry
 Herrmann's reply to n question in-
 vOlving the future welfare of the
 Cincinnati team, following a re-
 port thnt Pitcher s'Dutch" Reuther
 had demanded nn Increase In saI-
 nry, accompanied by a threat to
 retire from the game. GHrry's re-
 ply left no doubt he was much
 pcrturbed by the reports that more
 than half the team would demand
 snlnry boosts.
 we expect to share our good for tune with our players" said Hermann; but it is impossible to make salary adjustments until after we interview the players and ascertain what their desires are. l do not mean to infer that we will grant the raises asked for in every case; that would be impossible but we shall be glad to make adjust ments that are satisfactory. If other clubs have no more difficulty than the Cincinnati club, I am sure it will be an ideal spring for the majors"
 Reuther did make a demand on the Reds for a substantial boost in pay put his demand was made In gentle manly way and was not accompanied by any threat to retire from the game. according to Hermann. The southpaw evidently expects to turn in another remarkable season and if he goes through with it there is no doubt but that he would be entitled to additional pay.
 References to- the salary question as 1t effects the Cincinnati club never fails to get a rise out of Garry Hermann He says the critics always did obtain lot of enjoyment out of banning the Red owners and now that the team has won basebalrs greatest title, there is nothing else to assign a banning to but the salary question.
 Hermann will not participate in sal ary discussions, except as a court oi last resort This feature of the spring work has been left entirely in the hands of Pat Moran. The genial man ager does not anticipate any great diff ficulty to line his tribe up for the cam paign, but In case there should be ont or two obstinate cases he has instruc. tions to refer them to Mr. Hermann who, it is believed. can make final ad' justments. Moran says the entire crew will be harmoniously organized before they start the journey to the spring ] camp,

Moley announced yesterday that Hap Henderson. well known Birming ham boy, who starred on local diamonds last season, will be given a chance to make the Baronial pitching staff. Phil Morrison, older brother of John Morri- son, will also report,
 At present the only two positions open for candidates are shortstop and centerfield, and these two will be taken care of in the next few days, accord ing to Molesworth.
 The following players. veteran of last season, will report for the spring practice:

CENTRAL CRIMSON WILL MEET SIDNEY
 LANIER QUINTET
Hardest Game of Season Expected to Take Place When High School
 Teams Clash

Coach Burbage put his Central High school Crimson's through a strenuous workout yesterday afternoon. The basketball game which will in all probability prove the hardest of the season for the Crimsons, comes Friday. against Sidney Lanier High and Bur base intends to send his men into bat tie in the very best of condition.
 Neither Central nor Sidney Lanier has been defeated this season, and both are considered among the strong est contenders for the state champion- ship. The light between the two will in all probability be thrilling one.
 The followers of the Crimsons claim that Central has the best basketball team this season that has represented that school in several years. 1t is evil dent that Burbaee must have a good team, for his players have defeated some of the strongest quintets in the state. namely Bessemer, Dora Majes- tic Jefferson County, and Marion.
 The Montgomery team is itself an exceedingly strong aggregation, Bcs- semer fell before the onrush of the Sid ney Lanier team by the overwhelming score of 52 to ?, Bessemer is not the only victim of Lanier however, as other strong high school teams in the state have been defeated by the Montgomery outfit.
 'Phenie" Crane, now recruit at guard, promises to be first-class man for Central Crane gained much praise over his work with Central against Ma rion. He is fast, charges and blocks well, and plays a generally good game at guard. Barks Shugerman, Crane. and Bragan are a quartet of guards that are hard to beat Any two of this set would make a fine pair of varsities Tor Burbage, As yet. neither has his position einched but Burbage is alter hating between the four
 The game will he played Friday aft- ernoon on the Birmingham Athletic Club court. Students and friends Of each school will be on hand to pull for their team

Indianapolis, February 3.-Hon- orsry membership in the American Legion Is forbidden by the consti- tuition. declared national officers of the organization here today, fol- lowing receipt of letters of protest against granting by a Milwaukee post of such 'a membership to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion boxer.
 The constitution says: "There shall be no form or class of mem- bership except an active member ship. It adds that "any person shall he eligible for membership in the American Legion who was reg ulariy enlisted, drafted. fnducted or commissioned, and who served on active duty in she army, navy or marine corps of the United states" during the world war. pro- vided he was not separated from the service under circumstances amounting to dishonorabIe dis- charge and has not subsequently been officially restored to an hon. orabIe s-atus.-
