OWENTON COLLEGE LOSES TO SOUTHERN. OTHER SPORT NOTES
JUNIORS CHAMPIONS IN UNIVERSITY CAME
Pitching of Tom Johnson Features-Other Notes
 of Class Team

University. May 1s.-eSpecial.)- champion juniors came near mopping up with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association champions Monday afternoon when they came off with to tie This is probably the last time that the var sity squad as such will be seen on the campus this season, although series with some small team may be arranged for commencement
 The junior squad, which won the class championship, is about the only bunch that has ever gone through Alabama with three consecutive years of successful class competition. As freshmen they had an easy time, and again last year no very difficult opponent put in an appearance. This year the preliminary games were for the most part faroes. The freshmen defeated the sophomores Il to 9, and the juniors took the seniors in tow to the tune of Il to g. However, in the play-off a good game resulted. when the juniors emerged victorious from 1 to contest with the freshmen. The latter crew showed one of the best fielding teams that has ever played in class baseball. but seemed too weak with the stick to gain the honors. The juniors. while fair fielding bunch showed up best at the bat. However, the pitching of Tom Johnson was foi the second year big factor in their success.
 The all-class team, as selected by sev- eral of the varsity men, is as follows:
 Pitcher. Johnson. juniors.
 Catcher, Taylor, sophomores.
 First base, Wolf juniors.
 Second base, Rozer, juniors Green, sophomores.
 Third base, Werner, juniors
 Shortstop, Campbell, seniors; Chichester, freshmen.
 Left field, Jones, juniors.
 Center field, Cleveland. freshmen.
 Right geld, Nelson, Juniors; Anderson, .sophomores.
 It is practically impossible to pick one man above all others at second. short and in right field from the fact that some of the teams did not meet each other, so that no accurate comparison could be made

Students Like Matted
 Milk and Cigarettes

From the New York World
 Madison, Wis.-About 141,2o0 matted milks are consumed annually by the sin at a cost of $14.120. enough money to buy good meal for 56. 4SO people. This is not mere guess, but the care fully compiled figures submitted by dealers in the university district
 The straws used in the matted milks if placed in a direct line would reach IS miles. The matted milk consumed would fill a reservoir of 13,000 gal Ions. Over three tons of the dry pow der is consumed a year
 Figures show that 1,040,000 cigar cites are consumed annually by stu dents at cost of $7s00 The cigar cites, if placed in a direct line, would reach around Lake Mendota twice There is enough paper in the cigar cites consumed to make 1900 library books of 100 pages each. There art enough cigarettes consumed to sup ply every one of the 5000 students witt ITO cigarettes year.
 Uncle Sams share of the tax whici the student pays, amounts to abou $1250. If one man smoked the cigar cites continually for IS hours a da, it would take him six years to smok' all the cigarettes consumed by the stu dents in one year.
 The total cost of the matted milk and cigarettes amounts to $21,320 enough to put B students through on year of the university. The tota amount spent for these luxuries woui. buy libraries of the best literature fo 900 families, supplying 100 books t each family.

JOHNSON'S PITCHING
 FEATURE OF GAME

But the veteran Heinie Berger also de- serves praise. He pitched magnificently throughout and would have scored an easy victory but for the untimely miscues of his mates. The heavy Baronial swat ters were helpless before the cuspidorian slants of Berger and it was the lower end of the batting order that finally accom- plished the undoing of the grim old timer.
 Stark opened the game with a crashing triple in deep left King went out to Carroll unassisted. Dodge singled to left, scoring Stark. Paulette and Baker were easy outs. It was apparent from the first that Black had absolutely nothing on the ball but the cover and the ability to put it straight over the platter.
 In the second stanza Farmer McCabe and Street singled in a row and two runs came in Berger hit into a double play and the threatened slaughter was averted. After King had doubled and Dodge singled in the third Black was yanked and the last Nashvillian counter was made on Paulettes sacrifice fly. In the eleventh inning the Vols threatened as Baker doubled with one one but sensational fielding by Charley Carroll prevented a score.
 The Barons started scoring in the second inning when two errors and a wild pitch resulted in two runs Mcbride started the fun with a grounder to Baker, who booted. Carroll slapped one at Baker, who threw to Stark in an attempt to force Mcbride at second. Stark dropped the ball and both runners were safe. On El- lam's sacrifice Mcbride and Carroll ad- vanced Mcbride scored when Wallace grounded out and Carroll scored on Der gers wild pitch.

BARONS TIE THE
 SCORE IN SIXTH

In the third inning Magee was hit and scored on Sloan's two-base hit to right. In the fourth and fifth the Barons had opportunities to score, but could not pro
 duce the decisive blow. In the sixth a pass. a single by Wallace and two outs produced the fourth and tying run. In the seventh, eighth and ninth the Barons went out in order. The tenth might have produced the winning run. but Sloan was caught stealing third. In the eleventh the Barons threatened. Wallace flied out. Johnson was safe on Starks error. Coombs, who had replaced Magee. singled
 Hemingway forced Coombs at second and Johnson was held at the third. Clark grounded out. Berger famed Sloan and Mcbride in the twelfth and Carroll grounded out. However, the long nerve racking game began to flag the veteran.
