years of age, but when no paregoris,
codeine or other opiate is given, is
easily cured by giving Chamberlain 8

from the disease when this remedy

 Greenville, March Especial J. Coach Jackson, of the Greenville high school base ball team, is rounding up material from which he expects to build one of the strongest high school base ball teams ever put out by the local school.
 He has lot of material from which to select his men, but is short on pitchers and has but two men pick ed for this position. He has some other material from which he will most likely find several additions. He is watching a left hand player. and most likely this young fellow will be developed into a good man.
 The High School Athletic associa - tion is behind the team financially. and sufficient funds are in sight to furnish new equipment throughout, including new uniforms.
 The following are some of the men who have gone out expecting to make the team; ". Spier, Peacock Dunn. A. Stabler, c. Stabler John Gamble. Sidney Dees, Robert Marchman, Bru- ner, Butler, E. Boutwell,, A. Boutwell,, Killough, T. A. Newton, J. Newton, Smythe, P. Spier, and others.

BOXING NOTES

As proof of the fact that merit de- serves it's reward. promoters of the kelly-Stribling bout, to take place here Monday night, are pointing to the fact that yesterday an unusually large number of seat reservations for the fight were made. Tickets went on sale yesterday, and, according to Secretary Woodruff, of the B. A. C., advance sales were brisk all day.
 Says Tommy Tompkins, match maker at the B. A. C..
 Its a strange thing how unerring- ly the public spots a 'bloomer' match from the start. Certain bouts have had very poor attendance during the past several months, and in every case the battle failed to develop, and tame affair resulted Then with the house packed from ringside to gallery, certain boxers have staged some of the most thrilling bouts in the history of the game in Birmin.s- ham.
 Yep, you can fool the public some times, but boxing fans are undoubt- edly the wisest of all sportdom's fol- lowers"
 Pascal Colletti, the little boxer who won the southern featherweight championship at the last Dixie meet at the B. A. C., has advanced so far in ringdom that he has been scheduled to meet Bobby Hughes in a bout at Mobile. Hughes is the little fellow who has whipped such boys as Zulu Kid, Tim o'Dowd, Frankie Garcia, and others.
 few days a go story came out of St. Louis that Babe Asher. ban tamweight one of the most illustrious of the A. D. F. champions, was plan ming to retire, to enter the fur busi- ness. Says Babe Asher, in Chicago:
 Me retire to enter the fur busi- ness? Fur from it. I may skin some body alive sometime soon, and the fur is sure to fly when I get bouts with the top notchers. but that's as close to the fur business that l will get"
 Asher lays the blame of the St. Louis story at the feet of his retir- ing manager.

SPRING TRAINERS SEEM PURSUED BY.
 THE USUAL LINK
Barons Play LeWisburg Out fit in Practice Game To-
 morrow Afternoon
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Baronial candidates are about started on what promises to be a most typical Birmingham spring training campaign. and that is sew eral weeks of struggling on a dia- mond so often soaked by rains and clogged with mud that scarcely a week passes by without it's quota of bad weather.
 In the springtime young ball players fancy lightly turns to pas timing. Lightly is good, for the least jar seems enough to set the rain gods off in fury of cloud shifting and rain spreading.
 The large squad of rockies which has been working out at intervals at Redwood all week seems to look rather unravorably on the unsettled weather of the present week. but such old-timers at the game as Boss Moley merely grin and say little, for they've become used to it now. Two fairly good days out of four isn't bad percentage at that, for Birming- hams spring trainers,
 The entire squad of candidates
 will bc in harness not later than
 Tuesday of next week, when the
 real grind of spring training will
 begin. When the veterans begin
 to look aslxance at the peppery
 efforts of the yOungsters, and to
 feel that, perhaps, they are slip
 ping in the old game, then the old
 boys begin to steam away with
 everything that's left in their
 baseball systems.
 Both youngsters and veterans win be on the squad this year, mostly yor-ng ball players, so 1t seems that something's due to happen at Rick wood during the next month or so.
 f prising how long the age average of the 1922 Barons will probably be. Even some of the veterans are only youngsters in age, and Moley should turn out a pepper aggregation this year.
