By HENRY VANCE

The Birmingham Baseball associa- tion announced Saturday the out right sale of Catcher Tony Brottem to the Louisville club of the AmeTi can association. Brottem is the for mer catcher of the Little Rock club, who started the season last year with the Washington Americans, who was later claimed by the Pittsburg Pirates when waivers were asked, and who was finally turned over to Birmingham by the Pittsburg club as part payment for John Beverly Gooch.
 When the deal for Brottem's trans fer to Birmingham was first ar ranged. Baron officials were highly enthusiastic, but later in the winter they had doubts as to whether he would report or not, and then when the deal was made for Robertson, and the ex-Texas league catcher reported and started showing his wares, Moley and Colonel Quack knew deep down in their hearts that they wouldn't be able to take care of Brottem, even should he decide to report.
 Wanted To He Near Home
 One of the main things that caused his sale was the fact that he stated in his letters to the Birmingham management that he had to stay closer home, as he had an aged mother to support and look after. Of course. the Birmingham officials felt kindly toward man of this type, and when Robby was acquired they inn mediately started working the wires for Tony's sale. It has been known for some time that he wouldn't De with the Barons this summer, but Colonel Quack stated that he didn't want to announce anything through the press In this regard until Brot- tenn had been disposed of to some other club.

Unions Announce Boycott
 or All Organized Baseball

Chicago, April S.-Emmett T. Flood, Chicago representative of the American Federation of La bor. today announced a complete boycott of professional baseball on the part of the unions he rep resents. The boycott will con- tinue, he said, Rs long as Former Judge IA. M.s Landis Is baseball commis siOner.
 MT. Flood charged that Judge Landis. who acted as arbiter in the Chicago building trades dis pute md handed down a wage decision. permitted himself to be used ns "a tool of big business" in it's alleged efforts to disrupt building trade unions.
 His so-called standard agree menf," he said, makes the union man as helpless as the profess sionaI ball player who Is body and soul at the whim of the club

owner. It makes the union man work with the n0n-union man under almost any conditions his employer wishes.v
 Mir. Flood asserted most of the building trades unions had agreed to fine members attend ing n big league game and said other unions were asked to fol- low the example.
 'Tt will he cheaper in the long rum" he said. "for the magnates of baseball to pay Landis his $50.O0O year for the six years remaining and dismiss him, than thus to antagOnize organized la bor. We are intent on making club owners repudiate their conn missiOner--give him the gate.
 Trade uniOnists, Mir. Flood as- serted. will patronize the semi pro nnd amateur games '.and may even throw the old pill around a bit themselves."

HERRING TO MEET M'MAHON Z
Cambridge First and Penn Second in
 Big Race
By Associated Press

London. April S.-The University of Pennsylvania's quartet of diminutiye mile runners finished second to the Cambridge team in the three-corner- ed relay race between Oxford, Cam bridge and Pennsylvania in EnEland's first relay carnival at the Queens club this afternoon. Ten Penn run ners finished only ten yards ahead of oxford
 The long legged Cambridge runners made the four miles in Is minutes 25 seconds, clipping fourfifths Of a second from the former British rec ord. stallard of Cambridge led Brown of Pennsylvania by 75 yards at the, finish.
 20 seconds and Oxford's IS minutes 23 3-5 seconds,
 Gets Early Lead
 Mountain, the first runner for Cambridge, took an early lead of ten yards with wonderful sprint at the finish. He did his mile in four min utes 32 seconds and gave Cambrfdge's second runner 25-yard head ay which practically won the race for the light blue.
 At the end of the first mile Herr of Pennsylvania led Huewetson of Oxford by ten yards but through faulty exchange of the baton by the Americans Oxford partly recovered this lead, The remaining three miles was a see-saw contest between OK ford and Pennsylvania. At the be- ginning of the third mile McLane gave promise of overtaking Cam bridge, but SeaErove's powerful strides were too much for him and his final sprint gave Cambridge's anchor man, Stallard, 40 yards advan- tage over Brown. the mainstay of the Quakers. who was unable to overtake the lengthy Engiishman. The race was run on the quarter mile track which was heavy after the morning showers. But despite lowering skies which threatened more rain, 5000 spectators attended the carnival and watched the public school and army air force runners in medley of events that preceded the international competition, the main event of the day.

Tony Brotten1 Is Sold
 To Louisville Outfit
Eddie French Also Disposed Of, While Two Young Catchers Are ReIeased-Brottem's Sale to
 CoIoneIs Was an Outright Deal

the sale of Brottem the local man agement also made known the fact that Pitcher Eddie Frenick had been sold outright to the High Point club of the Piedmont league. This is In line with the general policy of the club of cutting all strings to player once he has been in camp two springs and failed to make the regular team on each trial.
 Freniek is the right-hander who got such a promising start with the Birmingham club last spring, and who was kept on the roster until the season was well on its way. His form of the exhibition games failed to stick with him when the pennant chase got started and Moley shipped him to the High Point club, where ne had a good year. This spring he mas been back in camp, but has worked little due to illness when he first re- ported. With the other pitchers nav ing two weeks start on him Frenick really didn't have chance to snow when his physical condition got oack to normal
 Hardin Herndon, the old Atlanta outfielder, who also had a couple Of trials with the Barons, is the manager at High Point, who put in bid Tor the services of Frenick.
 
 Two Young Catchers Released
 Moley also applied the ax to a couple of young catchers Saturday. and this gets him down to the limit so far as catchers are concerned, as only Claude Robertson and Tooter Brandon remain Catcher 10th, who came down from zanesville, O., and Schultze, a local semi-pro product, were the men who felt the blade of the ax.
 The Baron chieftain must keep the pink slip working overtime between now and Wednesday to get down to the 1S-man limit, and other releases l are expected to be announced the first part of this week.

wonders for the French children. MT. MacKnight will explain, in part, to the Cosmopolitan club:
 If such child educational plant, which will train heart, hand and mind, can be established, 1t will add immensely to the states productive output. If we pay not the greatest heed to our neglected children now, also giving them the benefits that psychology, as we'll as psyche andy sis and all that science has learned, which can be used for their upbuild- ing, we will be blamed in future years. As the numbers of the race increase, the numbers will also natur- ally increase of our neglected chill oren.
 Work Goes On
 'If We can make out of every neg lected child good citizen, then in turn. each will see to t that his chill dren will not be neglected
 Think how wonderful to make a good citizen out of every miserable little scrawny wretch we have, Science has gone so far that these days. it can take a child and very nearly tell what he Is fitted for, and what he can be made into. Under the present system which prevails in mary states neglected children are adopted into other peoples homes, where not always, but many times, a child gets exceedingly poor stimulus to become great individual or citi- zen.
 Things Stressed
 '1n the child conversation center cheerfulness and nationality will be stressed, and every child will be given the right quantity of food at the right time. Not caretakers, but teachers and well trained philanthro- ic-mhnded Individuals will have the governing of this child conserva tion center and of it's work In fact, 1t will be university of happiness let down to the child level Neglected children of any age will be accepted. 1 The center can be started at first in a small way and be made to grow along only the best lines. adopting from time to time finer things which great men of the future will discover. Only approved methods and those that have been tried out will be followed Id, but the institution will ever hold it. self open for new ideas and ideals. The children shall be convinced of the justice and the good intentions | of those directing them and of the principles of the home. They shall be treated with consideration and given love In the school, girls and boys will be taught to produce and manu- lecture everything they use. Each student shall be made a thorough, excellent worker. Every girl will know how to cook. and to make her own clothes. Training will also be given in the arts and in music, and medical attention will be furnished.' D How About White Race The strongest point probably MT. Mcknight will put across. will be this:
 White people are having less chill dren all the time. The yellow races are having more. Unless we take care | of our white children the yellow races in the future will entirely ex- | ,erminat, them. Also. if only 50 per l cent of our men could pass the draft.

PERSIAN CHIEF NOW IN MOSCOW EhSanulla Has Had Romantic Career in the
 East
By Associated Press

Moscow. April B. Ehsanulla. the chief of the red revolutionary movement of Persia, who last June made a daring raid that all but sue ceeded in capturing Teberan, has escaped the shah's Cossacks and is now here.
 "The peoples struggle against the Shah and the feudal landlords has failed. Therell be no more" he said. His conrade leaders in the revolu- tion were killed.
 Ehsanulla is rated the most pie turesque figure of all the bandit and revolutionary leaders of the middle east.
 Educated and daring, for 1s years he has fought the established order in Persia. His long hair and shaggy beard are known to thousands of Persian peasants.
 He is known as the Karl Marx of Persia. but in many ways resembles Makno. the peasant leader of South Russia. He has never been captured. though he has taken part in every armed struggle of Persia since 1905. He might now be master of Teheran and of Persia but for quarrels be- tween two of his associate leaders, Kutchik and Haidar.
 Forced Retreat
 With A peasant army strengthened by Russian Communists, he struck from Descht to Teheran, while many of the Shah's 5o,a00 troops were put ting down risings at Tabriz and at Horoshan, and was within 3S miles of Teheran when a betrayal in Ihis own ranks gave news of his where abouts and forced his retreat.
 After the Anglo Russian treaty. by which both nations agreed to leave Persia alone" said Ehsanulla. T realized that the sayyid ziauDin government was a reversion to the old. corrupt law of the feudalists. each of whom is sort of little bined peasantry and educated class would go under, perhaps forever, un- less I made a last desperate effort.
 go I got together q few thousand peasant soldiery and by secret paths and rapid marching tried to reach TSheran. The Cossacks of the Shah began to attack me and the Russian Communists with me lost heart. fought until I was surrounded an1 then retreated.
 "An Englishman no longer dares to go into North Persia. but this is not much satisfaction for me since they will again control in Teheran. My pity is for me the poor peasants. I built schools and hospitals for them.
 There need be no fear that Per sia will join the Pan-Islamic union protected by Enver Pasha. The Is- lamic religion has ruined the Orient and we have no desire to form a union that would again place us in subjection to the Turks"

If your children are like this in any wise, so are thousands of the states neglected children who, each year. are thrown into the care of the Children's Aid society, orphan asy- lums and other institutions of Ala bama Only their dispositions, in many cases exaggerat 1s the worst qualities of childhood because. so of ten. they are from families where the parents, themselves. have never been taught proper self control. The child is a great imitator. and If brought into life in drunken homes. homes of ignorance. of neglect, or slovenliness or laziness, he or she will too often adopt these qualities, which will forever blight normal existence and the child's helpfulness to the state and nation.
