ACTON, FIRST UP,
POLES OUT HOMER
FOR THE BULLDOGS
"Bud" King TWirIs Great Ball,
Allowing Only Four
Hits

In a contest played under very ad
verse circumstances, the bad weather al
most forcing the postponement of the
game several times, the Howard college
Bulldogs emerged the victors in the
fracas with Marion institute, played yes
terday, by to 1 score The fielding
of both teams was very good under the
circumstances and the pitching of both
hurlers was Of high calibre, especially
for this early in the season, King. for
Howard, struck out II batsmen, and
Day, for the visitors whiting 10.
Burney Acton. captain of the local
nine, was the outstanding star of the
game, making two hits, one of which
was of the four-sack variety, scoring
two runs and playing a great defensive
game. His four-base clout was a hard
hit liner to right field, which easily
landed the Howard speedster on the
home plate. Aside from Acton's play
ing, the great pitching of Bud King
for the CANNES was the feature. Bud
crowned II of the Cadets with the palm
leaf wreath, having famed that number.
The game was practically decided when
his homer, as anyone could see that
King was invincible. The second and
third counters were scored in the initial
frame, also, when Head singled, Drake
walked and Matthews singled, scoring
the two men on the bases. The next
run for the locals was garnered in the
fourth, when Matthews got to first when
he struck at wild ball for his third
strike the catcher not being able to
reach the sphere. Advancing on a couple
of outs to third, he counted. on New
mans single.
Day for the soldier lads, appeared to
reach is right form in the next few in
nings, for the Howardites did not score
until the eight. Acton scored in this
inning on a couple of wild throws after
getting on base by virtue of a hit The
winning factor in the local triumph was
the knack of making their hits come
at timely intervals with runners on the
paths.
Madison was the best offensive man for
the visitors, making two of their three
hits He fielded well. also making a
couple of difficult catches. Day pitched
a very good game and if it had not beer,
for several breaks of hard luck the
count would not have been so heavy
against his team. Argo, who made the

IYANNIGANS SAVED
FROM DRUBBING BY
DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
Regulars Start Off Like Big
Leaguers, But Aqua Pura
Stops Slaughter
by HENRY VANCE

The Barons got a good workout
Wednesday morning, but right after
they started regular-rookie game in
the afternoon rollicking rivulets be-
gan descending from the heavens, and
Jumps Bill McNamars, minus rain
stick and slicker, decided to call the
melee off Probably it's for the best
that the rain arrived as the regulars
were cranking up for a slaughter
In the first inning, the regulars
scored a quartet of runs, when stew
art led off with single, Emory beat
one out, Pennington followed suit,
Dutch Bernsen doubled against the
scoreboard in right and Clark and
Tommy Taylor cracked out sacrifice
flies. Croll also spanked out a hit,
but was caught mapping off first for
the retirement of the side, and then
the rain began to fall in chunks.
Pennington was placed in right field
on the regular lineup Wednesday, due
to Doc Silva's illness and the fans were
getting the opportunity of seeing a
couple of new men in action when the
inclemency gathered momentum. Chan
dler, a big rangy pitcher, was in the
box for the regulars and Cochran, a
rookie catcher, who was getting in his
initial game, was behind the bat
Frenick, the Kansas City wonder,
was on the hill for the rocks, and
he's probably glad that the aqua pura
pulled a spill, as the regulars were
beating his delivery into a pulp before
the kindly rain interviewed
1t might be that Moley will put his
men through another practice gam
today, but the chances are that he will
content himself with letting them do
light work. as game is scheduled
with the Toronto Internationals for
tomorrow, and Moley doesn't believe in
driving his men too hard at this sea :

BILLY MEYER, COLONIES .
CATCHER, WILL REPORT

Mobile, March 23-Billy Meyer, catcher
of the Louisville team, who has been
reported a hold-out for several weeks.
will report here tomorrow according to
announcement of Manager Joe Mccarthy.
Never held out for an increase in salary,
but the Louisville management an
nounced that it would not be paid
whisperings around the lot that
Thomas was a holdout. The chances
are, however, that he will get his diff
ferences Strengthened out with the To-
cal club in a few days and will start

match. But it wasn't square at the
the finish. for the Father was in the
lead.
With the elder Munger contending
that he won through greater skill,
and Lonnie stoutly denying any con-
spiracy whatever, it may be that the
National Golf association will force
the Father and Son to put on announcer
match at Roebuck, when it comes mere
to conduct the probe.
Even If r. S. should win again,
however, there would always be
point of doubt in the minds OF many.
If Lonnie threw one game, for
respite in Florida, it might have be-
come a habit with him by this time
Looks like golf needs a little muck
raking, Ell wot?
MATTY MATTHEWS IN TOWN
Matty Matthews, who spent three
years of his catching career as
backstop for Birmingham. and who
is remembered by many of the old
timers as the peppiest catcher who
ever wore the mask at Redwood, has
been spending the past two days in
Birmingham. Matty has been a con-
slant attendant at the practice az
fairs at Redwood since coming to
town.
The veteran receiver is going to
manage the Griffin, Ga, club in the
Georgia State league this summer and
ran over to look some of Moley's
youngsters over. 1t may be that he
will frame a deal with Sir Carlton
before he leaves town. whereby he
will get several youngsters from the
Birmingham club.
DOC SILVA INDISPOSED
Doc Silva, the Barons' mile-a-min-
ute gardener, is the last Baron to get
on the hospital list Doc was in uni
form Wednesday, but when the reg
ular-rookie game started he was not
in his position in right field. Moley
announced that Doc was on the puny
list Maybe it's that old Spring fever
that has attacked all of us. Then,
it might be the same old attack of
malaria that beat him out of berth
with Moley's hopefuls last year. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that Dock
manages to dodge the malaria this
spring.
TORONTO HERE TOMORROW
Larry Doyle's Toronto club will get
in town some time tonight, and to-
morrow they start a two-game series
with the Moleys at Redwood. 1t will
be the first real baseball contest of
the year, and from the number of
rail birds looking at the practices
between the rockies and regulars, 1t
looks like a good crowd will turn out
to see the International leaguers in
cop,hat with the locals

Ask BRITISH AID
Bryan Leads New Effort to
Make o. S. Dry.
Would Stop ImpOrtatiOns Thru
Diplomatic Exchange.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Dry leaders,
moving to keep imported liquors out
of the United States, have proposed to
Secretary of State Hughes that this
government ask Great Britain to help
put a stop to smuggling operations
from British possessions to this coun-
try. it was learned today.
William Jennings Bryan, spokesman
for the drys, told Secretary Hughes
that Volstead law enforcement had
failed to reduce the imported liquor
supply Mr.. Bryan earnestly appealed
to Mr.. Hughes to initiate discussions
with British diplomats with a view to
some arrangement with British au-
thOrities that will shut off the whisky
supplies coming from British possess
sions.
Hughes has Bryan's plan under con-
sideration. Immediate action upon
it is not expected. The move of the
drys resulted from a review of liquor
conditions in the United States. reveal
ing an astonishing amount of i'm
ported liquors for sale in all localities
where there is a demand.
Many of the high officials concluded
that smuggling of liquors from the
Bahamas and over the Canadian Dor
der, hes become the really serious
phase of prohibition, because it is not
physically possible for the government
to stop smugglers' operations. Of
ficial reports estimate that scarcely
more than one-tenth of 1 per cent of
the Struggled liquor brought tru At
Iantic ports and inlets is detected.
Bryan's hopes. it is declared, are
that the state department may obtain
an expression of opinion from the Brit
fsh that may favor adoption of a
working arrangement whereby Brit
ish authorities may cooperate actively
with American officers in checking the
sn1ugglers.
