1 view to what they are liable to do in the coming contests. In such series the witness and the experience of the veteran must count heavily against the inexpereince of Niehoff.
 Barry, .220 batter this season, fig ures to be much better batter than that in the series. Niehof, hitting .260, does not seem to have a chance to hit much against the Red Sox pitchers Wood ought to stand him on his head. I cannot figure how he can hit either Shore or Ruth, and his chances of hit ting hard against Leonard are small scarcely con think of a harder bunch of pitchers to send Niehoff against than the ones he must face. I cannot figure how he will bat .15o for the series if Carrigan uses Wood twice. Leonard, Shore and Ruth.
 Barry will not hit Alexander hard in fact, I do not think any of the Red Sox will hit Alex" hard--but Burry has batted against Alexander, knows him well, and has the nerve and courage to stand up and take a crack at the speed kings offerings. He surely will hit Chalmers or Mayer. and McQuillan docs not figure save as possible finisher of some game.
 On the comparative figures, my final authorizations show Barry 32 points bet ter than Niehoff adding considerably to the Red Sox total advantage.
 Let us now compare the center field CTS, and tomorrow we'll dope them be- fore going on around the inf1eld.

 With the small field the start was perfect. Goose got Hodge away fully in his stride and the little gelding showed the way throughout The oth- or starters seemed content to permit Hodge to dominate the carly running and no serious attempt was made to overhaul him until mile and a half had been run. Then Van Dusen on Iindenthal made a determined bid for the lead with One Step also trying to better her position. Goose let out hIs mount @ bit and Hodge retained his load Turning into the homo stretch Hodge came on to win with something to spare with Lindenthal, Ringing and One Step driving for places within tho money.

GR|D|RON
 BATTLE IS STAGED Central High and Owenton Play No Decision Game.
 Both Teams Strong

A no-decision miniature gridiron battle was staged yesterday afternoon between Central High school and Bir- mingham college on the latter's cam pus. In fact. neither side had time to score, owing to the shortness of the periods.
 Coach Pritchard used his full string of youngsters and all of the regulars. Coach Pinson also took advantage of the occasion and gave every candidate for his squad a chance to show .ifI $ wares.
 The game was in reality only prac- tice game to give the coaches a bet ter line on their material The local high school boys showed up fine. They ran their signals fast and uncovered several trick plays that completely baffled the Methodists. Only few for ward passes were attempted and none of these were completed. The back field showed up exceedingly strong. espe- cially on line bucks. However, the weak spot on the Crimson machine continued to be the ends and tackles, although few men made a good show ing at those positions. Coach Pritch- ard was gratif1ed with the outlook of his team in their first "acid test and Is confident of a winning eleven.
 The Methodists attempted to use no trick plays, forward pases or end runs but merely sent their backs through the line. Their gains averaged about two or three yards. The material Is plentiful and the Methodists have a fine chance to produce a winning eleven.
 Both teams are working hard to con- dition themselves for their first battle Of the year on Saturday. Central High meets Ensley High and Birmingham college plays the Fifth District Agri- cultural school.
