MARION CADETS
TO MEET PANTHER
BALL TEAM TODAY
Scheduled Game With Howard
College for Yesterday Was
Rained Out

The baseball game between Marion
institute and Howard college, which
was scheduled to be played yesterday,
failed to materialize. the horsehidc
pellet Fingers having had enough of
water baseball in the first contest,
which the. Baptists copied by a 5 10 I
score This leaves the locals with
something on the visitors. but the Ma
rionites are planning to change the
order of things when the Bulldogs In
wade the Cadet territory.
This afternoon. at Munger field, the
Khaki boys will take on the Birming
ham Southern Painters in the first of
a two game series. The game is
sci eduled to begin at 8 o'clock. and lie
expected to be hard fought and inter-
esting throughout. The locals will
probably enter the contest with' Au-
brey Miller on the mound. Miller has
had previous experience, making a
good record last year. and is expected
to do even better this season.
Greek" Griffin will be behind the
bat, while Jack Stuart will cover first
base. The second sack assignmentwill
be between Joe Stuart and Baker
with Lewis covering the short field
and Green on the hot corner. The out
field will consist of either Propst or
Suffer in left, Norton in center and
Rowe in the right garden. This lineup
is the strongest that the Panthers can
offer, and is expected to make it hot
for the Cadets.
Marion will probably be represented
by Day on the slab. He pitched 4 good
game against Howard but did not
have very good support. The visitors
believe that the wet grounds had y
lot to do with their defeat, and are
our to redeem themselves in today's
game This contest will mark the
opening of the Panther schedule. and
the locals are hoping for good be-
ginning on this years season.

the contention of oliver Myers, Of
the Spaulding Lumber company in
his talk before the Marion County
Realtors association at its meet
ing this noon in the Marion hotel.
Mr.. Myers called attention TO
the fact that lumber has dropped
very fast since the first of the year
and that due to this rap;l change,
some of his concerns quotations
had been higher in a few instances
than those given by mills operat-
ing outside of Salem, but that at
present the prices of the Spauld-
ing Lumber company we're in line
with other lumber concerns.
The rumor that prices in Salem
were higher than elsewhere, he
stated, had been circulated Ivy con-
tractors and carpenters who were
not informed as to'the price lists
of the company.
The association expressed itself
willing to counter this rur1or and
to aid in any possible way in con-
filming lumber buying to the local
market.
