HOWARD AND VANDERBILT
 MEET ON RICKWOOD FIELD

The first serious baseball game to occur in Birmingham this season is that slated for this afternoon between Howard college and Vanderbilt uni- versity.
 While the result of the Birmingham the result of the Howard Vandy scrap will go down in the record books of these institutions.
 The game will be begun this after noon at o'clock and the collegians will be out for blood. Howard is very anxious to annex the victory, and Van derbilt. will strive to keep it's record clear
 Vanderbilt always has good baseball club and the club this season is no exception. Coach Donnelly has been working hard with the Baptists, and he states that if they stand firm and don't explode they should win.
 Pruitt and Motley will pitch the three games for Howard, while Jones. Morrison and Brown will be on the bill for the Commodores. On the Van derbilt club are many of the stars of the football team of last fall
 The game will be played on Rick wood Field, and as many fans of the city are determined to get Howard on its feet if possible il is safe to predict that the attendance will be favora ble.
 The players of the two teams are:

Memphis, March 29.-(SpeciaD.-Al- though nothing sensational has been shown by the youngsters or veterans gathered by Bill Bernhard for his first effort in Memphis as a manager, the family of fans are satisfied to listen to the general verdict. The opinion advanc- ed at this stage of the season is that the Turtles of 1911" will at least be slug ging squad In the exhibition fun with major league squads to date the Mem- phians have out-hit their opponents and this applied to their inaugural try-out when pitted against the famous Chicago Cubs with their regular lineup, includ- ing such celebrities as Chance, Evers, Sheckard, Tinker, Kling, Schulte, Hof- man, Zimmerman and Brown and Pfeis- ter.
 Favorable criticism from the kind Word club" has been heaped on Court ney, the first baseman, who succeeds Gylgi the former Birmingham disap- pointment, and for Swalm, Jackson, Me Crossin, who compose the outfeld. All bave slugged the ball hard and often in the exhibitions and all are credited with teing long distance hitters Jackson to date has planted the longest drive ever recorded in years here and Swalm. left handed batter has almost hurdled the long right wall with line drives.

TEAM TO CONTEND
 FOR THE 1911 CHAMPIONSHIP

Walter East, who has been selected to captain the team when the real season starts, has been 1ayed out with spring Sprains, aches and pains and his place las been filled at second base by Rudy Baerwald, member of three past Memphis outfits. Crandall at short and Altman at third have riveted their 1910 claims to 1911 jobs and no longer does there exist doubt about Manager Bills plans for the nfeld
 McCrossn is a youngster in the field and what has been seen of him has led many to regard his chances favorable for posing Baerwald out of a regular place in the right garden but the club officials are silent on the subject
 The pitching staff embraces many youngsters including Nicely, Loomis and others who have not exhibited Class form. Finlayson, from Brooklyn origin ally, but last year with Lawrence in the N. E. league; Fritz, one of the best left handlers in the south; Farmer" Allen of last years Turtles flock; 'Old Hickory" Dickson of the 1909 Birmingham club, with Manager Bernhard seem to be the logical choice for the final slab staff
 Joe knotts has been receiving to date, but Donahue, purchased from Philadel- phia is depended on to show the form to pluck the premier plum for the posi- tion behind the plate. But Donahue to date has been ailing with aches and pains and is taking training in easy stages.
 All in all, however the Memphis fam iiy of fans regard the Turtles "pennant contenders' and Bernhard says they are Dark Horses or Hidden Bears"
