EXPECTING RECORD
 CROWD ID ATTEND '.
 WRESTLING MATCH
Draak-Faust Match TomOr- row Proving Big Attrac- tion-Preliminaries and
 Battle Royal Planned

Secretary J. D. Beavin of the Bir- mingham Athletic club announces that the advance sale of ringside and re- served seats for the Draak- Faust wrestling match Monday night is most satisfactory. The prospects are that a record crowd will be present to see | these two wrestling stars. That the
 bout will be fast and furious goes without saying anything further than to announce the nationality of the
 participants.
 If ever Belgian fought German, it
 will be duplicated in this match. These two men have never met on I the mat, yet both have been in this country about the same length ot 1 tiNe. Both have wrestled the best ot the American stars with about equal results. The advance dope and past records show favor to Faust, the Ger
 man. Yet the record of Tom Draak this season shows him to be equally as strong. Two years ago when Ed "Strangler" Lewis was wrestling in
 Birmingham this man Faust was con sidered the equal of Lewis, while al that time Tom Draak was still in the preliminaries. However, since that time Draak has greatly improved and this season has shown him on the mat with the best and many of the wrest- ling critics say that another year will find Draale at the top.
 Those who saw Draak in action in the bouts with Bayley and Kandrat saw most clever wrestler. Tom is young yet and admits frankly that he does not know all about the game, ov,1 al yny.lr counts for anything he is going to be the best before he quits Tom is just the age. of Lewis when the Ken lucky grappler was here two years ago and will have all the opportunities that Lewis has had. He says he is go- ing to the top. When we figure how long pr. Roller and Lewis were in the game before they reached the class of the best we cannot help but say that Draak has an excellent chance
 to get on that top round for time at least.
 Faust, with his fast, aggressive rough tactics, will mix things for
 Draak The man who threw Beell and Rauol DeRuen. wrestled Roller to 8 draw. forced Zysbosco to go the limit has to be given credit as being a good wrestler. Faust has done all these things and many others equally as great. He is entering the match witt the knowledge that if he wins he vii l get a chance to go with other wrestlers of national repute.
 | The usual good prelimnaries will
 be a feature of the evening. Several
 of the darker huskies who have won
 the pot in the preceding .battles
 royal' will be pitted against each oth-
 CT and the result will be some fight
 The preliminaries will start about
 8:30 with the main bout at about nine | bells

LARGE CROWD SEES
 BARONS BATTLE TO
 ORA w WITH TANKS
Barons Look Good-Pitchers Went WeBarons Take Adva tage of Errors and With Timely Hits Keep
 the Score Tied
By FRED BODEKER.

The largest crowd that ever witnessed an exhibition game in Birmingham saw the Barons play the New York Ameri- cans to a 50 to draw at Redwood Field yesterday afternoon. The game was called at the end of the ninth inning on account of darkness and rain. The game was fully worthy of the large attendance and the appearance of the Barons in the first real game of the year pleased the fans.
 Moley kept the Yankee batsmen guess ing by changing pitchers four times dur ing tine game. Grimes started the game and worked for three innings. Perry man succeeded him and worked three. Black was on the mound two sessions and Ponder worked the ninth. Wild Bill' Donovan used two hurlers, Piercy and ripple.
 Each side felded about the same. The Tanks committed three pebbles, as did the Barons the formers coming at a time to aid the Barons In scoring. The Tanks outhit the Barons slightly, but were slower on the sacks. Three stolen bases are recorded against the Tanks while only one, Gilhooley, managed to swipe sack against the Baron receivers.
 The Yankees used thei. first lineup Donavan used every possible effort tc score the win, but timely hitting com bined with glaring errors blasted his hopes. In the Yankee lineup were nu- merous diamond stars. Home Run Baker, who failed to get the semblance of a hit, Lee Magee, the former star of the Federal league, Fritz Maisel and others played against the Barons, while Germany Shaefer performed on the third base coaching line the entire game
 CRIMES HIT HARD
 Grimes, who started the game for the Barons was found easy. He was touched for five safeties, including two triples and a double. All three of the Tanks runs scored in the third inning came as the result of four hits. Gedeon led OH with single to center. He took sec cnd on Pipp's out and scored a minute later when Peckinpaugh slammed one tc left field fence for three bags. Fast field ing by Coombs saved the clout from being a homer He scored a moment later, however, when Nunamaker put one to the fence in right-center. Piercy sin gled to center and Nunamaker counted MaiseIs hit to Clark resulted in the only double play of the game. This ended the Tanks scoring untl the SlXtn when they scored one more.
 The Barons even things up in the fifth. Caton started the ball-a-rolling when Pipp fumbled his easy roller Hauser sent Caton to third with his clean single to center. Perryman hit tc Piercy, who threw to second too late to get Hauser and the elongated preacher was safe on the initial sack. Cator scoring on the play. Hartle hit to sec ond and Perryman was forced out Hauser scored on Derrick's single to center, Hartle advancing to third. Nun amalser threw to deep right attempting to catch Derrick off first and. Hartle counted Derrick stopping at third Werner struck out and Coombs fled to deep right, ending the Baron rally.

PRACTICE ROUNDS
 METHOD|STS INTO PINK OF CONDITION
First Game of Season April 3 With MariOn-OutlOOk Good for Winning Team
 This Season

For the past few days Birmingham college has held some real good practices. The team is progressing nicely and if the slight Charley horses will leave camp the team should be in the pink of condi- tion when they meet the Marion Cadets on April and f.
 The Cadets do not seem to be as strong as in the past as the Central High school journeyed down and played them two nice games and easily defeated them the last game.
 However, Birmingham college will not take any chances. The secret plays will be demonstrated every afternoon until they are thoroughly learned. Coach Pin son has a pretty fair idea of who will compose his team to represent the old Gold and Black this season. He is fully expecting as fast a team as of the previ- ous season. Practice games will be play ed all next week with the different city teams.
 Individually the team is showing up nicely. Ware behind the bat has sore whip, but it is fastly rounding into good shape. This boy will receive the bulk of the games this season as Gillian will be used mostly at shortstop. The pitching department is exceptionally strong, anG is composed of Nation, Ards, Campbell. Nation is a veteran, and is expected to star again this season. Ardis is from the Miners league, where he starred with the Newcastle club. He is a terrific hitter This boy will assist Gillian on the shortfield. Campbell is from the Jacksonville State Normal, and is doing some good work, both as pitcher and Outfielder

ANOTHER EXPERT SHOT

Mrs. Schilling is the wife of Carl J. Schilling, an expert shot also. The it. tie woman, for she is but 4 feet Il inches in height and weighs only 95 pounds, is one of the most popular frequenters of the trapshooting tournaments of the western states. She holds her own at all times with the male snoocers. Sine uses a 12-guage gun and the men wonder at her endurance in the tournament matches. Mrs Schilling is further handi- capped in comparison with the male shooters through the necessity of using a light load. With a light load the shot spread is less and her aim must be truer in order to break the "bird" before it gets out of range
