Baptists Battle the Univel sity Boys On Local Cam pus TOday-Teams Are
 Vel Matched
Lineup For Game
 At Howard Today

Birmingham baseball fa1 IS will "overlook a god bet' If they fail to see that Howard Alabama game at Eagles field at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Both of these crack college az gregations are represented by the best teams in their recent history and the battle today will be for blood from start to finish.
 Alabama defeated the Baptists by narrow margin in their last meeting at Tuscaloosa, but the local tenn fs confident that they will be able No get revenge on their own diamond at East Lake. Boone. who pitched five innings against the Barons Saturday. will probably be sent back to the rlil today, with McGowan held in reserve.
 For Howard, Walker will hurl part of the game, but Martin will also very likely get a chance to display his wares Both of these lads are steady moundsmen and with any sort of sup port should hold the opposition to q low score.
 The Baptist team, unaided by a req ular coach, has succeeded in rounding out a very formidable front. Trut. there are few stars in the lineup, but there are likewise very few weak spots, all positions being ably cared for. The university team is admitted ly the equal of any college nine in Dixie. Under Lonnie Noojin's tuts- lage. such stars as Sewel1 Stevenson, Styles, Boone and Lenoir have de! veloped into players that are aboltt ripe for fast professional clubs.
 So keen is the rivalry between How. ard and Alabama that a lively scrap js expected with plenty of cheering for both sides in evidence. Eagles fiefd is just behind the college at East Lake and may be reached by the Tidewater car.

 Thus far only three exhibition con- tests have been played by the Barons here, two with the Pittsburg major leaguers and one with the Crimson col legians. In none of these battles were the opposing teams anywhere near evenly matched but there'H be diff ferent story this week.
 Southern fans have contended for some time that this league was equal ly as strong as the American asso- citation and the five engagements should more or less settle the argu- ment. Little or nothing is known about the St. Paul club except that they have defeated Memphis.
 Manager Molesworth will probably bCSih lllS W WCShiliS OA~ Nh'' week. Five pitchers must be sold or canned before the season starts, that is if Moley carries three catchers for several weeks. as now seems possible. Samuels, Sigman, S1apnicka and Rob- erts are sure tp be held on the pay roll for month or so at least. Morri- son and Crews haven't had much chance to show their wares yet. Ma tions, Red Stiles and Ballmer have bad wings and may lose out on that ac- count, although the last named gave promise of being a phenom when he reported.
 CAN CARRY 15 MEN
 Under the rules, Moley can carry 15 men for 30 days after the season starts. Haworth, Peters, Hairston, ca atchers; Bernsen, Mcdonald, Raley, Webb, infielders; Brasher, Duncan, Ellis, outfielders, and Slapnicka, Sig man, Roberts, Samuels, pitchers, make IA, leaving room for another man to be chosen from the other young hurlers.
 Peters or Hairston will certainly be sold in a few weeks, just which is a matter of speculation. This far no utility man is in sight, but Peters IS said to be fairly good in this role and Bernsen has been known to play sew eral positions with some ability.
 If Moley sells one of his catchers be- fore the season starts he will carry six pitchers, otherwise only five. The big improvement shown by Bernsen has been gratifying to the Baron man. ager. Dutch" plays with lots of pep this spring and will doubtless clout that old apple at lively gait.
 At present both fans and clubowners are a little apprehensive over the pitching corps and shortstop position. Raley shows plenty of ability but like the hurlers, he's green and will need seasoning.

BLOW 10 BASEBALL

Ban Johnson Smarting At Lawyers Arguments Says Relations Between Ma jOrs and Minors Will
 Be Dissolved
BiI Associated Press

Chicago, April 13.-Dissolution of the national base ball commission, the "su- preme courti of organized baseball; absolute severance of relations with the National Assc cciation of Minor leagues and revision of the players contracts eliminating the 10 days reserve clauses will be probable result of the S240, 900 verdict granted the Baltimore club of the Federal league by a jury in the { District of Columbia supreme court yesterday.
 These revolutionary measures to safe guard baseball from all future legal at tacks were forecast by Ban Johnson, president of the American league upon his return from Washington tonight. The American and National leagues. to- gether with their club owners and of ficials, and certain officials of the de- funct federal league were defendants in the $900,000 suit for damages brought under the Sherman antitrust law BLOW TO BASEBALL
 President Johnson said that ap-' peal would he taken to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, and, if necessary, to the supreme court of the United States.
 'The verdict of course is a blow to baseball" President Johnson said, but we are not particularly distressed, as it was nothin more than we expected under the circumstances. We were bound to appeal, no matter what the amount of damages involved was.
 We do not want to be charged with operating in restraint of trade; neither do we want the charge of conducting a monopoly hahging over us. We can see ray of sunshine because of the fact that we can appeal. If tLe verdict had been brought in our favor, we would have been denied that privil- ege."
 While declaring that he did not care to ridicule the verdict, or the justice of the court, President Johnson said the attorneys for the Baltimore club talked like "Lenine and Trotzky."
 LIKE TRIAL IN RUSSIA
 You woulG have thought that we were on trial in Russia, the American league executive said. We were charged with all manner of crimes. The attorneys for, the plaintiffs referred to me as 'Czhr' of baseball and gave the impression that we were on the threshold of the penitentiary.
 Baseball has been conducted under the present system for 40 years and has been persistent in it's success of keeping the sport clean and retaining the dignity of the game. If we have been wrong i'm our operations, then of course, we want to know about it." What methods the American and National leaglles would adopt to gover themselves would be among the early developments, President Johnson said. The leagues would be obliged to con duct their affairs independently and the national commission would have to be abolished if the verdict is sustained, he said.

it is as necessary for one to be syste- matized as it is for railroad to run it's trains on a schedule.
 A motto on Plato's ring was, "It is easier to prevent ill habits than to break them" The way to prevent ill habits is to conquer every unwhole- some impulse. It is not hard to do this. It requires only the exertion. of a monentary resolution. The brief brushing aside of desire to gratify some feeting caprice. But if we do not rise to these occasions and prove ourselves stronger than these inplses we shall find ourselves soon becoming the slaves of habit rather than masters of our own actions.
 Practice thrift babitnalfy Make it as much part of your routine as eating and sleeping. Get yourself systematized. Work on a definite schedule. Save regular amounts. Plan your work and your actions so that you will have no idle time, no lost motion, no wasted energy. These arc the secrets of success, happiness and progress.
 The time to begin the cultivation of thrift habits is now The present is propitous because it is the period of our last Liberty Loan issue. It is the last time that the people of this coun- l try will be given an opportunity to begin lives of thrift under the inn 1 pulses of stirring patriotic ardor. The most important message that can be conveyed to the people of this nation to-day is, Get the thrift habit" Practice thrift not for brief interval or intermitently, but habit ually
 1 Make it habit because therein lies the greatest benefit Financially, physi- 1 cally. mentally and morally.
