BARONS TOY WITH
 J. OF A. BALL TEAM
The COllegians Suffer From Stage Fright-Debus Stars
 With the Willow

Tuscaloosa, March 3o.-(SpeciaL)-Th asarons overwhelmingly defeated the University of Alabama this after noon in a slow and uninteresting game sy the score of 15 to 2. The field was SLOW and soggy, making fast playing inn possible. A drizzling rain fall through out the earlier part of the game, wetting the players to the bone. Finally at the end of the eighth inning the farce was called on account of rain.
 The Barons seem to have well oiled, smoothly working machine. In spite of the extremely unfavorable field there was not a single pebble committed.
 BLACK POUNDED
 Black opened the game, but was unable to baffle the colegians. They hit him with ease and pounded him to all parts of the lot. It was only due to excel- lent fielding that the score was kept as low as it was. Glazner had the col legians eating out of his hands through three innings that hep itched. He had worlds of speed and control and tight ened up whenever an Alabama man got near a base. The greatest trouble with Alabama was that her pitchers seemed to have nothing.
 Christovitch fell down in his part and showed little in support of the great rep utation that he brought to Alabama. Ross had sore arm, but did fairly well for his three innings. Jones was un- mercifully treated in his inning, the Barons getting seven runs off his delv- f1t.e .<,-1.1 have been held much lower but the wet ness of the weather made it almost inn possible for the fielders to hold the ball.
