MARION DOWNED BY
GREENSBORO LADS
The Game Was the Best Exhibition of
Baseball Seen for Many
Moons.

Greensboro, April 9.-(special) 1.-The
Marion Military institute was defeated
by the Southern University today in a
great game of ball. Marion had just taken
two out of three games from Meridian
and were confident of victory. Fifty
rooters came over this morning from the
town of colleges" to cheer their team
and thep helped considerably but could
not make 1t win
The games was fast and exciting till
the very close, being one of the best ex-
hibitions seen on the local diamond in
a long time Marion has a good team,
but inability to hit, coupled with a few
costly errors. lost the game. Feiser, their
star left-handed twirler showed up in
fine form. At one time the bases were
full and none down, but he succeeded
in retiring the side without a score. His
control was good and his speed and
curves were used effectively.
The Southern University team showed
its mettle all the way through. 1t was
somewhat handicapped by the second
baseman being out of the game, but Nc
Gehee held the base we'll and got the hit
that made victory almost certain. Little
page pitched ball like a professional. He
had the Marion Military institute boys
just where he wanted them, letting them
down with only one scratch hit and
not a single score. His great benders
and greater speed put fifteen men on
the bench without touching the ball and
the others could not get it out of the
infleld. The game was a pitchers bat
tie in which Littlepage copied the
honors.
Killough started the hitting for the
Southern University with clean two

TOMORROW
The Regular Southern League Season
VIII Open Here Wednesday, With
Wilhelm Pitching for the
Barons-Diamond GIints.
BY WILSON MATTHEWS.

In response to requests for an opinion
as to how the relative chances of the
different Southern League club members
to finish one-two-eight at the end of the
present season. the writer who has been
grinding out baseball Junk here for the
past three weeks gives out the follow
ing;
On present form Atlanta looks a shade
the best, with Memphis and Birmingham
having splendid odds-on favorite
chance.
Individually, the Atlanta club shows
strong. If Smith can manage in a league
of this calibre, he will give results. New
Orleans has the most astute manager
in this circuit in the portly Teuton, c.
Frank: though it is hardly probable that
he will again be able to control such a
powerful baseball machine this season.
as represented New Orleans last year. OF
course this opinion is only that of one
man. and is. therefore solely from a
local viewpoint.
Birmingham has a grand array of twirl-
ers, fine fielding and heavy hitting out
field, with two good catchers. The nfield
is not brilliant, but 1t Is very reliable
and steady. With Vaughan.s superior
ability as a team leader, modestly claim
a sure third for the Barons with a grand
fighting chance for the coveted flag. Finn
of Nashville is. and has been. lost as
baseball factor in the south since he
lost Ed Lynch as team leader. While
Shreveport is very game it has for many
seasons, had nothing but promises Dur
rett in Montgomery would have had a
splendid inside chance for the rag had
he retained the team he finished with last
season. With Brothers, Oldering and
Wordsworth gone, his hitting and fielding
strength is badly impaired. Either Bir-
mingham, Memphis or Atlanta first with
all of the above named, with New Or
leans in the first division. is our humble
estimate of the teams as formed at
present.

was Keen enough to see through Picker
ngs unpromising appearance and to note
the proportions and movements of an
athlete. So he bought MN a shave and
haircut, fixed him up with a uniform
and told him to report az the ball yard
In time for the game that afternoon
Pick did so, and achieved remarkable
record. He went to the bat seven times
and got seven hits. every one of which
was short, looping ny over first or
third base, that fell safe just too far out
for the basemen to reach and just too far
in for the gardeners. That sort of hit
had tantalized fielders before, but it had
never been labeled. The report of Pick

The greatest joke so far OF the baseball
season is the hapless nonenity who writes
baseball for the Atlanta News. He gloat-

the New York's and then states 1t is we'll
not to be like Birmingham who, he says,
was beaten by Mobile. AS no minor league
team has thus far broken gravel on the
local lot this spring and the Barons have
not moved an inch out of Birmingham.
