regular season starts next Wed- nesday They will spend Mon day and Tuesday with light workouts at Redwood.
 Secretary West announces that while the local club was looking for one of the biggest crowds that ever attended an opening game at Redwood, and believed Birmingham would cop the attendance trophy, that no effort would be made to have the stores close. Those who want to close and give their employees a half holiday next Wednesday may do so, but none will be asked to close MT. West also stated that the ladies' books ap- peared to be more popular this year than in any previous season, and that the record had been broken on the sale of ladies' books for so early in the season.
 Kane At the Keystone
 Johnny tSugar) Kane. who has been picked for the utility role this season, or will be, will play second base for the Barons in the Saturday game against Merid- Ian. Moley wants Johnny to ac1 quaint hipself with every job on the in and outfield, and has started him out to learn the ropes at second. The report will not down that Stuffy Stewart will come back to Birmingham for this summer, even though the Pirate management is now play ing him at second base and has shifted Pie Traynor over to third. where the Pirates are supposed to be weak.
 Jake Raises Howl.
 Max Abelson, brother of Jake Abel the welterweight; sNl his manager also, feels that bud Jake has been done an injustice in Bif mingham. Max writes that he feels certain corrections should be made. His letter, bear ing an Atlanta post mark, fol- lows:
 Dear Mir. Vance;
 Just want to ask for a few lines in your column to register a protest to a statement made by Mir. Tompkins, that Patsy McMahon, who is billed to meet Red Herring in your city, has re- gently knocked out Jake Abel.
 This statement is a grave in- justice to Jake, evidently MT. Tompkins thought perhaps that l would overlook this. Jake fought Patsy McMahon in two ten-round, no-decision bouts in the year 1920. Jake carrying off the scribes' verdict in the only two meetings they have ever had, Jake since re-entering the prize ring, last August, has par ticipated in IS fights. winning all, with the excepton of losing a newspaper decision recently to McLachlin. have. Abel matched with McLachlin for an early date in May tere in Atlanta.
 Knowing McMahon as well as l do, 1 am sure that he is not the kind of a sportsman to claim something that is not so. and in my opinion, Tompllins simply is trying to gain a point at our expense.
 Again thanking you for lit- tie space, correcting this, sim cerely. MAX ABELSON.

New York. April 7.-Jack Dempsey. worlds heavyweight champion. arr rived today from the Pacific coast to join Jack Kearns, his manager, and party for a rest before sailing for Europe on the Aquitania Tuesday
 The champion will leave New York without any matches definitely in prospect, and with only the haziest of plans. He says he is anxious to meet the best Europe can offer, pro- viding the purse is satisfactory. Men tioning Carpentier, Joe Beckett, Bom- bardier Wells, .or anyone else. Dempsey said he'd jump at the chance negro heavyweight. who is being groomed for a bout with Dempsey. holds no terrors for the champion. Dempsey said that because of some prejudice against mixed match in this country. it might be best to hold such contest In Europe but he added that he is willing to meet Wills at home. Dempsey intimated that Kearns was dickering with English promoters for such match.
 Accompanying Dempsey and Kearns will be Teddy Hayes, the champions secretary. and Joe Benjamin prob ably will get into the ring soon after his arrival, arrangements being under way for go with Ernie Rice. the British lightweight champion.
 The party will proceed on what Kearns terms an elastic schedule They will go to London and Paris ana probably to other of the large con tinental cities. Kearns said he IS not averse to an exhibition tour and un- less some worthwhile matches are brought about he plans to arrange one.
 Neither Kearns nor Dempsey would estimate the probable durascn or their tour. Dempsey. however. in- sisted that If he is not signed to meet Wills In England that the negro would have an opportunity at home.

Danny clarke with Tixer.

Danny Clarke With Tigers
 Danny Clarke, the former Baron second sacker, was with the De- mingham Thursday. Whats more Danny will be with the Detroit club the next time you hear from him. Although the ex-Baron has not been given regular place in the lineup, he. will be retained this summer, and has already been advised of this fact by Man ager Cobb.
 Tyrus probably wants a few in- fielders around for emergency use. and those vho know Danny's prowess with the willow, also figured that he will be used as pinch hitter many times this sea son. Then, too, Young's sarm is bad and George Cutshaw is on his last legs and Manager Cobb must look to the future for an in- fielder. Maybe he thinks that few months with a big league club will polish Clarke off so that he can take his regular place in the ranks.
 Anyway, Danny told me that AODD ldS IOiu HlIli HC would be carried this summer and had advised him to tell his wife to join him in Detroit. Yep, Danny is a benedict now.
 
 Statham Tn Opener
 Tn all probability Ball Statham, who pitched the game Thursday, will be given the assign I11ppf aP nj nnapipu game against Nashville next ed the opener last year. and oddly enough he triumphed over Statham in a hurling duel that went for 13 innings. That being the case Whitey would natural ly get the honor of twirling the opener, If he eraved 1t, but the left-hander isn't craving the Job.
 Whitey didn't get any too good weather while with the Pirates at Hot Springs, and he's afraid he'll run into a repetition of the opener last year. and be forced to extend an arm that hasn't yet reached perfect condition. There fore, the concensus of opinion seems to be that Moley will send Statham in against the club that cast him off. And, wouldn't it be funny if Tommy Gallagher should draw the assignment from the Vol boss?
 Barons Away For Two Days
 The Moleys will be away for two days The two affairs with the Cotton States club will mark their last game before the
