University, April 7.-(Special)- While in Tuscaloosa today, George Y. Barnes, general manager of the Ala Lama State Fair and Exhibit associa- tion. announced that an agreement had been reached between Dr. J. w. II. Pollard, coach of the University of Ala bama football and baseball teams, ano the University of Cincinnati to play a game of football in Birmingham Oc- tober 1.-the last day of the 1908 fair.
 This announcement was hailed with delight in Tuscaloosa, for it is an in- dication that Alabama is preparing to branch out in it's athletics. If Ala bama defeats or makes good showing against the Universiety of Cincinnati, cur esteemed friends, the Commodores of Vanderbilt. will have to divide the feather that floats from their caps.

The first of a series of games between Howard college and the Birmingham col lege will be pulled off this afternoon at 3:3O o'clock on the Howard campus.
 These games will decide the champion ship among the schools of the Birming- ham district, and both teams are out to win.
 Birmingham college has been coached by Henry Meek, the Barons' hard-hitting first sacker, and he seems to have de- veloped a cracking good team. Its strength lies especially in its brace of pitchers, Adams and Garner, two of the best in the state.
 Howard college has played surprisingly good ball so far, having made a better record than Birmingham college in the matter of games won. Five games were played in Georgia last week, two out of them being taken from Gordon and one of the two from Mercer, which team

fly in the third inning, and stated that he did not see it until too late on account of tree just to the right of the field.
 Alabama's outfielders played back too far today fact which gave the Barons opportunities to place several very nice short hits.
 Alabama's diamond is exceedingly hard, and Lew Walters stated after the battle that he had never had such a day." Lew did some excellent fielding, as he al- ways does, but was forced to get about livelier than usual.
 It is an indication of the excellence of the Alabama twirlers that the Barons did not drive some hits through the infield so fast that the eye could hardly follow them.
 The Barons were on the run throughout the day. They arrived just in time for dinner at Ed Shows McLester hotel. Then they hardly had time to don their uni forms before the dummy left for the campus. After the game there was only a minute for the players to dress again and catch the dummy to the station.
 Henry Meek, in this particular too, showed his lack of speed. He was too late to catch the dummy to the station. and was forced to use hack. He made it, however.
 The Barons found Tuscaloosa splen- did old town, and all its people courteous and hospitable Lew Walters says that as soon as he gets rich he will move thei e and in the quiet of the trees and the climbing roses spend the balance of his days.
 All of which reminds that Harry Jones spread rumor among the Tuscaloosa fans today that Lew was S4 years old, a rumor which Lew, with the greatest diff fculty, uprooted and stamped as out rageousi

HOT ON THE TRAIL
 OF ANOTHER CATCHER

A wire sent to Bill Douglass yester- day asked him if he would report to Birmingham after selling his stock at his own figures to 50 Birmingham fans.
 Bill had not answered at late hour last night.
 Manager Vaughn is on the trail oe another catcher. He wired Connie Mack yesterday to aid him, and the former catcher replied that McDonough would make Birmingham valuable man. Mack has turned McDonougn back to Denver, and Harry will wire Denver concerning him today. Mack offered Catcher Ford, too.
 Manager Vaughn has wired Manager Armour of Toledo for catcher, but no answer was received yesterday. Vaughn, too, is after Wells of St. Louis, The youngster who starred last season with Nashville.
 The manager did not appear cha erined wh en informed last night that All lonta had procured the services of Hurlburt, the former Memphii.

'GINGER" CLARK'S GREAT
 AMERICAN LEAGUE RECORD

It is a fact unknown to most fans in Birmingham that Ginger Clark, the peppery Baron aitcher led the American league in pitching and hit- ting in 1902.
 Ginger was with Cleveland. He defeated Baltimore in the only game that he pitched. and during that game got two hits out of three times at bat. His pitching record was 1000, and his hitting record 667.
 The. first time Ginger" went to bat. ne was instructed to bunt. He for got the instructions, however, and smashed a fast one past third. The next time up he famed. The third time he dropped one over second.
 Shortly afterward he came to Bir mingham.

Downey was walked. Walters sacrificed him to second, and was safe when Smith tossed sadly out of whack to Noojin. This error landed Downey on third, and he scored when Smith was guilty of wild pitch.
 The fourth tally was born in the sixth. With two down, McNeal singled, was Houtz, and scored on Molesworths screaming double to right.
 The fifth score, made in the seventh after Sturdivant had succeeded Smith on the slab, was the direct result of Gene Demont's famous delayed steal One was down when Gene rapped safely to center After Watson had caught the balA Gene dived to second. Watson did what every other catcher, be he amateur or professional, does-threw the ball far too short of the keystone. This error added to his steal placed the run ner on third, and he scored on Sturdi- wants wild pitch.
 In the final inning the fans were en- unused with the possibility of the col- legans ringing up tally
 After Reidy had gone out over the dead- ly "Walters-Meek'' route, Brice Jones drew a pass. Then Pratt was walked. Before the Barons were aware of the sit uation, the two fleet football youths had executed a double steal
 Pope relieved the agony, however, by sarilSing at three bad ones. Of course, the collegians are too wise to attempt a double steal in the ninth when they are five runs behind, unless there is a distinct object in view. There was bare pos sibility of Alabama gathering one run, ana that one run, the collegians earnest ly desired, although, in the eyes of the professionals, it would have done them little good.

Alabama s infield is superb.

If is a physical impossibility for proles- sonals, appearing against amateurs to show form. There is always something lacking. Either the professionals hammer the amateur pitchers to every corner or the lot or they go through tfe nine ln- nings without the semblance of a peppery exploit. They are dead:
 For this reason it sometimes happens that the patrons do not receive just re- turn for their money.
 Fred Houtz, who has batted .314 against the pitchers of the major leagues lailed to get a scratch today.
 Fred has been hit so often by amateur pitchers that he will not stand to the plate This afternoon, three times in sue cession, he was forced to go to earth to escape d bender. 'I will face proies- sional.' stated the Baron, "but deliver me from a man who has record lor starring with amateurs. If 1 had gone to bat 20 times today I would not have got a hit"
 McNeal pitched a beautiful game this afternoon, and young Mahon, who caught for him, while Raub was given a much needed rest, displayed pepper and ability.
 Neither of the Baron pitchers used curves to excess McNeal he stated after the game, used three drop balls, and Gin ger" when third and second were occu- pied in the ninth, struck Pope out with two benders.
 Both had fine control and good speed. The only criticism that can be made or McNears work was his too broad swing when men were on bases. This swing gave Watson an opportunity to steal in the third.
 The Baron outfielders had very little to do in today's engagement, and the Ala bama gardeners had less. '
 The only criticism that can be made of Alabama's diamond is the dense shaoe that surrounds it. Houtz mlsJuogeo d
