Over Simpson In
Hard-Fought Game

In a fast and exceedingly hard fought
game, the Central Crimsons triumphed over
the Simpson Junior Panthers yesterday aft
ernoon by a 10-to-6 score. Fielding mis-
cues played big part in the scoring OF
both teams. almost all OF the errors COM

Hamilton twirled fair ball for the Painters
but was not up 10 his usual form.
Simpson scored first in the second inning
when they had three men on bases and no
body down. Central scored in the fourth
and from then on never headed al

BULLDOGS AGAIN
WIN FROM MILLSAP
BY HARMELL ALLEN

BY making hits when hits meant runs
the Howard Bulldogs managed to out score
the Millsap team and thereby annex one of
the loosest games that has been played on
Eagles field in the history OF the old da-
mond The game was featured by hard
hitting on the part of the Bulldogs and
loose fielding by both teams.
The Howardites came to bat in their half
of the first and Immediately got busy with
the stick. Shelton, who was first up went
out on an infeld tap. but Manasco, the
next man up drove out single and went
TO second on beautiful sacrifice by Nc
Lane. Drake then came up and drove a
three Dagger which scored kanasco but
ing done to the pill.
The visitors came back strong in the sec
oDd and with two hits aided by the poor
fielding of Howard they were able to score
two before they could be retired. This
got next to the Bulldogs and when they
came up to the bat in their half of the
second they punched hits off Rouss which
Melted three runs.
Not to be outdone in the scoring depart
ment by their opponents the Milsappers
came back in the third and made two more
runs. The Bulldogs then took their ride
on the little seesaw and made two more
runs,
Both teams then went scoreless for an
inning but by the fifth they were rested
up and SO the Mllsaps made two runs
while the Bulldogs also made two for them
selves. Neither team scored in the next
inning.
In the eighth, Miilsap came back with
the stick and for a time it looked as
Webb and his mates frightened up and
only one run was made
Shorty was somewhat wild but even at
that he pitched good game and he did
not deserve to have seven hits made off
of his delivery. Score:

YELLOW JACKETS
OVERCOME MOUNTAINEERS

Overcoming a first-inning three-run lead,
Coach Hovater's Ensley Yellow Jackets con-
tinued their good playing and took their
contest from Shades-Cahaba by a 10-to-3
score. After the first inning Frel was prac-
tically unhittable while Hall was touched
up pretty lively, although only one extra
base hit was made off him. Ensley tied
the score in the third after having made
one in the second and from then it
was their game.
Besides the pitching of Friel the fielding
of both teams was a feature Scokel and
Tinkelpaugh playing well in the field for
the winners. Anderson and Rosenfeld led
the batters with three while McWhirter,
Scokel and Duncan got two apiece. -Four
men scored Two runs apiece while everyone
who played the entire game got hit but
Tinkelpaugh, who was given his base twice
being hit once and walked once

City League Makes
Plans for the Opener

Arrangements for the opening day
double header of the local City league,
which will be held at Redwood park
Saturday afternoon. are practically
completed and everything possible to
make it a success is being done. In
terest in the local amateur circuit ap-
pears to be higher than ever before
very promising.
President Harrison announced last
night that City Commissioner John
Ellis Brown would hurl the first ball
of the initial contest. The receiver of
the first pellet has not been selected, as
there is so much competition for the
berth, but a competent maskman is
expected to fill the place behind the
bat for one ball only This feature
will be only one of the many which
will be performed at Redwood Satur-
lay.
Sayreton will enter the field against
the Moore & Handley Hardwaremen,
while East Birmingham will attempt to
make the Stockham Pipefitters bite the
dust. These teams are apparently even
ly matched, so the prospects for good
game are bright. The admission to
these two games will be considerably
lower than that regularly charged at
the park, and the contests will be well
worth the time and money of all who
wish to attend.
The City league should receive the
support and backing of everyone in
terested in the welfare of young men
in the Magic City, as the local loop is

boys who want to play the national
game. Many we'll known players have
gotten their training in the league and
many more are expected to graduate
to faster company in the next few
years,

New York. April 2s.-Arraugements

Although the international bout il

At a conference late today 1t was
decided to send the principals in the

Richard said today that large as was
the number of writer's assembled at
Reno in 1910 and at Toledo in 1919.
there was every indication that the
Jersey City bout would surpass both
the Johnson-Jeffries and the Dempsey
Willard contests in this respect
So great is the early demand for
press seats that tentative provision has
been made to divide the reporting Sec
tion into two divisions.
Approximately 40 seats will be as
signed to the press at the ringside,
for those who will operate telegraph.
telephone and cable wires. Directly
back OF this press section will come
the arena boxes and other high priced
seats for spectators, while a second
section OF press seats will follow for
writer's who will not require wire con-
nections.
1t is probable that Richard will re-
quest that a committee of newspaper
men be formed to take entire charge
of the award and distribution of press
tickets.

a number of newcomers who had
not experienced the sensation of
being banished from the game by

getting his first taste of the big
show, and they sought to bait him.
Bulky Bill soon put a stop to this,
however by giving them the gate,
and plastering on a stiff fine.
