PAINTERS TO MEET OGLETHORPE TEAM AT MUNGER TODAY
Turk, One of Dixie's Best Col lege Moundsmen, Expected
 to TWirl Today'S Game
By M. E. BAKER

Starting this afternoon at o'clock the Partners of Birmingham Southern college will engage Oglethorpe uni- versity in the first of a series of two games to be played today and tomor- rcw. This is the first time this year that these two colleges lock horns in any branch of athletics, and the stu dents of Sunshine slopes are looking forward to these two games with in terest. Incidentally, Oglethorpe Is the team that recently defeated the strong Auburn outfit in a close game, which is in itself recommendation for any team in these parts.
 In Turk, Oglethorpe has one of the best pitchers in college baseball, and he is expected to open today's game against the Partners. Anyone desir ing to see one of the best twirlers in southern college baseball should not fail to see this game, which is to be played at Munger field.
 DISPLAY CLASS
 Coach Charlie Browns Partners displayed considerable class last Sat urday afternoon, when they defeated
 
 brey Miller in the box. The Partners should have defeated Mjf1saps in Fri days game, and but for errors would have done so. Subjected to considera- ble criticism thus far, the Partners, nevertheless, have good ball team. Their tendency heretofore has been to play brilliantly at times and at others exceedingly poor ball. With more con- sistent work to be looked for in their coming games, they should be able to fur nish any team some real opposition. Either Aubrey Miller or Joe Wheeler will assume the twirling duties. today. Wheeler twirled good game Friday, poor support causing the game to be recorded against him. Saturday, Miller had the Millsaps aggregation eating out of his hand during the entire game, and but for few misplays in the ninth inning would have held them scoreless. Miller has a great way of tightening up in the pinches, this fact being demonstrated several times in Saturdays game. Greek Griffin will do the receiving, and this position will undoubtedly look strong to the Ogle- thorpe outfit.
 A SEVERE LOSS
 The Partners suffered serious loss Saturday when Joe Stewart their crack second basernan, sustained broken leg. Coming, as it did,. just before the Oglethorpe series and the crucial games with Howard, this loss is doubly serious to the Partners. Stewart has been showing all kinds of class, and the accident is a most re- grettable one. He is at present at the South Highlands infirmary, and is resting comfortably. Eddie Lewis has been transferred to the second bag, and will probably play it today, with Clyde Propst coming in from the out- field and taking the shortstop position vacated by Lewis. Sutter will play in the outfield in place of Propst.
 One of the features of the Millsaps series was the playing of Mike" Nor ton in center field. During the series this boy made six hits all told. In Fridays game he made a great catch of long fly while running backwards at full speed, this catch cutting off two Millsaps runs. He is expected to star in most of the Panthers games re- maining to be played this season. With Miller in form and Turk twirling for Oglethorpe, this afternoons game will probably be one of the best college games this season in Birmingham.
 The Partners will probably line up as follows: Griffin, catcher; Miller, pitcher: Stuart, first base; Lewis, sec ond base; Green, third base; Propst. shortstop; Sutter, leftfield; Norton. center field; R. A. Baker, right field.
