BOMAN VS.. MILLIGAN

The second game will probably bring
together two former college rivals, Tur-
key Boman and Mark Milligan. They are
scheduled for the second game. Boman,
formerly star hurler of the University
of Alabama and Milligan, formerly star
hurler for Auburn, both hail from the
same town, Helm
An interesting tale is connected with
the two hurlers Both nave been rival
hurlers since early boyhood. Milligan
hurled for an amateur team in Helm
while Boman pitched for another team.
They met frequently and soon became
regular diamond rivals. Later Boman
went to the university and Milligan, de-
string Of opposing his long friend in
college ball, went to Auburn
But athletic relations between Alabama
and Auburn were not renewed and al
though both gained the reputation OF
being the best pitcher at their respective
cOlIagaS thew never met

BOMAN BEAT TWICE

At the close of the past college year.
Boman was scheduled to go to the St.
Louis Cards and Milligan went to the
Pttsburg Pirates. Boman failed to go to
the Cards and signed only recently with
the Travellers. He has pitched two
games for the Travellers, losing l to 0
and tying, 2 to 2.
Milligan makes his debut with the
Barons today. 1t is hoped the two will
meet again as rival slabmen. Provided
they do, it can be pictured that Alabama
and Auburn are clashing again on the
baseball field. Complications may set
