GEORGIA BULLDOGS ABOUT READY FOR CAME WITH CINCY
By CAREY J. WILLIAMS

Athens, Ga, March 1S-(Special.)- )- With hardly 10 days off from the open ing game with the University of Cn- cinnati, the Georgie Bulldogs are digging the spikes earnestly into the diamond every afternoon, and with another weeks practice they will be ready for the fray.
 Of course there's still some rough edges on the boys. and they haven't worked all of the kinks out of their system s but they are developing into md-season form as quick as any bunch of horsehide toss- CTS could.
 There are two or three candidates for every place on the team and none Of the berths are cinched.
 FIVE CATCHERS OUT
 There are five men trying for the catcher's berth. Eddie Rawson, who did the receiving for the Georgians last year. is showing great improvement in form, and it is believed that his experience in summer baseball last year will be a wonderful asset to him. If "Old Man Doc Harpers arm remains O. K, he's certain to catch portion of the games this year. Harper broke his shoulder Tn the Georgia-Alabama football game year before last, and it seriously affected his throwing arm Pat Powers, who haIls from Carrollton High school, is show ing promise behind the plate, while Ros- ser and Pierce are also delivering the goods.
 THIRTEEN PITCHERS
 There are 13 men out for pitching hon. ors. Coach White hardly ever cuts a pitcher or catcher from his squad and this accounts for the large number or beavers on deck. George Clarke is the only letter man from last years aggre- gation- Cliff Patone from Douglas A & M. is going like million dollars" ana if we don't miss our guess, Pantone IS going to be the sensation of college base ball this year.
 The other men out for pitching honors are Jack Frost, Seth Dekle, Judge" Thomas, Crier Farrar all from last years reserve team These boys have shown great improvement since last year. and will give the other men q good race for twrling honors. The new men out are Brannen, Sheffield Maddox, Hardeman, Bass, McWilliams and Reynolds
 CODY AT FIRST
 Chief Cody is leading all of the boys in their race for the guardian of the initial cushion. However. Boney who is a left-hander, looks good at this station
 battle royal is in progress around the keystone sack. There's an array Of rip-snorting talent seeking to fill the shoes of Dick Hancock at this bag. Mar rowing down the fight is between Josn Watson, Charlie Hodges and J. w. Wat son. This is good trio of ball players, and any one of the three will be a good man for the position.
 For the short field, Pug" Mize is the most promising candidate. Mze is a brother of Ferris Mize, who held down this position on the Red and Black nine several seasons ago. The younger MIze Is a better performer than his brother which is saying great deal
 Gravy" Hutchinson is back at his old love around the hot corner With years experience in college ball behind him, and good season of summer bail Hutchinson is expected to be about the best third-sacker in Dixie. He has a dandy position at the plate and is con- stant hitter. He has about overcome his old tendencies of going up in the air at times.
 In the outer gardens Captain s''Coun- try" Mangum will be permanent fixture in one berth. The Georgia leader is led the Bulldogs in batting last season and indications are that he has good season on the diamond before him this year. In all probability Mangum win hit in the fourth position in the batting or der.
 "Booze' McWhorter, who has held down one of the garden berths for the past two seasons, is in his usual form. while -Uid- Timer Eldridge, the slugging demon, is expected to land a berth. Sheldon Pitts of c. M. c. and football fame, is look ing good, and will give somebody heat ed race for a berth Inman, Cooper Webb, Frye and Ceilings are the other men trying out for positions.
