. You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised. all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is plain--the arr ticle did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medici- nal preparation that has real cura- tive value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy Is recommended to those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.''
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc- cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments. corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism,
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Ad- dress Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton, N. Y, and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.--Adv.

Warns Against Undue Emphasis on Financial Feature of Athletics

ANN ARBoR, Mich, Jan. S1.-A warning against the temptation to place undue emphasis on the finan- cial feature of intercollegiate ath- letics was sounded today by Prof. Ralph w. Aigler, chairman of the board in control of athletics at the University of Michigan, in his an- nual report.
 The report estimates Michigan's net receipts from football games last year at S1S1.039, and net profit from all athletic activities of s100,000.
 Throughout the country the amounts of money handled in con- necton with intercollegiate athletics are becoming more and more start Eng,' Professor Aigler said. Tt must be recognized there is a certain in- eorgruity in pure amateur sport and such very large sums and that there are clements of danger in the situ- ation.

ALABAMA QUINTET
 RUNS WILD OVER HUNTSVILLE FIVE

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Jan. 31.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Alabama defeated the Dallas "Y" by a 7o-14 score here tonight in a one-sided game of basketball
 Carter. McCauly and company shot field goals at will and kept the ball away from the Dalasites all during the game. Coach Bernier used every man on the Alabama squad.
 Although Alabama had little oppo- sition, the brand of basketball they played tonight would have. meant scoring against any team. The pass ing and shooting of the Crimson Cagers was at it's best form this year. Captain Fudge of the Dallas five seemed to be the only man who could shoot with any ability, and he dropped in five field goals. Nc Cartee shot seven. while Carter rang the loop eight times, Riley and Me- Clintock played best among the sub stitutes.
 Bewteen halves, Pooley Hubert, Alabama's versatile athlete, showed he was somewhat of a boxer by mix ing it up strong with Ward Garner. although Hubert did not have his hand raised at the end of the two- round affair, he did possess much reddened nose. Summary:
 Alabama: Stabler CID, McCartee (1o) and Riley GO, Captain McGauly 10), Keith (3), forwards; Carter 16) Mclintoek (2), center; Hudson (2), Leake CD, l.. McCartee (D, Propst (4o guards
 Dallas: Edwards CD. Fudge GID, forwards; McGappa, center; O'Neal, Potts CD, guards.

TUSCALOOSA BOY WRITES HE WILL COMPETE IN MEET
Lovingood Forced to With draw From Mitt Tourney.
 Entries Increase

Interest in heavyweight battling, as the city amateur tournament hears, is increasing, as new entrants come in, and speculation as to the probable heavyweight champion of Birmingham for 1923 Is growing.
 Two new contenders have loomed on the heavyweight horizon, with latest entries turned In to Dave Evans of the Boys club. who is pushing the city mitt tourney this year.
 Hugh Garner of Tuscaloosa. a young battler who has ambitions to advance in the ring game, has writ ten Evans that he would like to enter the tournament at the B. A. c. next Monday. and has given few details concerning his makeup.
 A Six-Footer
 Garner, so the Tuscaloosa boy writes, is about six feet tail, welghs around ITO pounds, and has acted as sparring partner with Joe White, although maintaining his status as an amateur by refusing to accept pay for his duties as partner with the Tuscaloosa giant. Garner has never fought public bout, he writes, but adds that he believes his experience in gymnas sium boxing will help him in the coming tourney
 And then, there's Tom Lavis. an Ensley boy, who has been fighting down among the welterweights and middleweights some during the past 12 me nths. Lavis since the football season, has taken on considerable weight, and has notified Dave Evans that he will compete in the class list ed 15S pounds and over. Lavis is known as a slugger and has several knockout victories to his credit.
 Revival of an old feud is in pros- pect, as beth Big Boy Edwards and Marshall Moses, who have met twice in individual bouts, are both entered in the unlimited class. Edwards has won out every time. but Moses is in such superb physical condition now that his friends claim he will secure revenge on his rival, in case they should be matched during the tour ney.
 Eddie Nugent, a big boy from Vivian, whC fought some while in the army. has entered the big fel- lows division, and will try his luck in the city tourney next week.

a lot or thlngS.
 Everybody in baseball felt nervous and i'll at ease. Neither the players nor the owners knew exactly which way to jump. That big change was coming on the map of the game was evident. The problem of all con- cerned was where to land on the new map. There were plenty of opportu- mites for shifting. With two big leagues coming there were more jobs than there were good players. Even the mediocre players were in demand.
 With Baltimore, Washington and Cleveland out of the National league it was quite evident that Ban John son and his associates would grab that territory and expand what had been the Western league into big league territory.
 Wanted To Return
 Toward the end of the season I had received several letters on the sub ject. At the end of my season with the St. Louis club I met Ban Johnson and Charles Comiskey in Chicago by appointment, and we went over the whole situation. They wanted to get in Baltimore and so did l. Naturally a man who had played there on the old Orioles was obviously the man to have the club. He knew the people. That is how Robinson and myself fitted in.
 We talked over the player situation at length, and assured him that l could help in getting players.
 It was finally decided that Robinson and myself would have the Baltimore franchise-would practically own all the stock; that Comiskey's St. Paul club would move to Chicago and Jimmy Manning would take the Washington club.
 Mind you, 1 was a free agent, em- powered by my contract with the St. Louis club to sign with any club that I pleased. This also was the case of Wilbert Robinson.
 The American League
 The American league, as we formed it then, was composed of Boston, Bal timore, Washington and Philadelphia in the east ,and Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis in the west.
 A real baseball war was on. We immediately started a raid on the Ma tional league, and l managed to get most of the players that had wanted of my former Baltimore club. You see. the dropping of four clubs from the National league left the situation ripe for us to grab ball players, many of whom were discontented by the shifts and all at sea as to what they should do. Those, l assure you, were exciting days.
 The fans of Baltimore were de- lighted at having a new major league club. We started out we'll and put much of our oriole spirit into the new team. Just the same the at tendance was not as big as it should have been. It dawned on us that Baltimore was not quite large enough to support major league club in big league figures unless the team was a winner.
 Troubles With Ban
 Then began my troubles with Ban Johnson. I will attempt to make plain right here just what brought about my leaving the American league; to correct the many erroneous knew, though, that it was the only way. Without such authority I could never organize a team to suit myself. After some deliberation MT. Freedman agreed to the terms. My salary was about ,000
 reported to the New York club on July ' 1902.
 MeGraw Attacked
 Much was made of this deal. The papers wer full of it. The American leaguers, naturally, attacked me.
