|Buudogs Meeting UniOersity Nine at
 Tuscaloosa Today
Bx MAXWELL ALLEN

The Howard college baseball team
 leaves this morning for Tuscaloosa,
 where they will meet Coach Bernier's
 Crimson warriors in couple of games.
 The Bulldogs chances of annexing a vic- i tory-in either of these tilts look rather poor at present on account of two req Isons. First. the Alabama team is just
 naturally supposed to be better than the Howardtes, and from the way that the two teams have been performing it seems as though the Crimsons have quite an edge on the Bulldogs. both in hit- ting and pitching, Even though the fielding of the Howardites should be on par with that of Alabama the su- periority of the crimsons in other de- partments ought to be enough to give the fracas to Alabama
 Another thing that is shattering the fondest hopes of the most ardent How ard packers is the fact that Burney Ac- ton, captain, third baseman and the hardest hitting man on the team, is on the injured list and may not be able to go in the game at all Acton hurt his ankle in practice the first of the week, and since then he has not been able to play at all In the event that Acton is unable to play, Red Dean will probably be used to fill his place at third, or else Red will be given job in the outfield and one of the outfield- CTS will be brought in to play third base
 This arrangement would do no harm to the team so far as fielding is con cerned, but when it comes to hitting the old ball and running the bases, the How ardites would be at sad disadvantage, for Acton is not only the hardest hit ter on the Bulldog aggregation, but he is also the fastest man when it comes to running the bases. If he is not in the game it will not be a question of trying to win. but it will mean nothing more than an effort on the part of tfe Bull dogs to hold the Crmsons to tight score.
 Bud King will go on the mound for the locals in the first game, and if the weather is favorable to the tall gent, the Alabama batters are going to have a hard problem to solve, for King seems to have gotten an early start this year, and has been going strong. When he is right there are very few people able to connect with his delivery. King has pitched three games this year and has won two out of the three. He would not have lost the other game had it not been for somes loose fielding and weak hitting on the part of hls mates.
 The Howard gang is going down to meet Alabama confident that they can take at least one game regardless of the way the odds seem stacked against them, and the Alabama players are go- ing to have merry little game if the Bulldogs make good few of their threats. s-

WILLIGROD, KELLY MEEKER, GARDNER ARE TURNED LOOSE
Manager MoIesworth Begins Actual Trimming Down of Squad for Opening of
 Season
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Tho dread ax of Manager Molesworth has begun it's downward journey and aI- ready several heads have fallen by the wayside. Four youngsters have been re- leased by the Baronial pilot.
 Gardener, shortstop, was turned over to Winston-Salem of the Piedmont league. The young infielder, while show ing lost of promise, lacks experience. and while he will more than likely be back with the Barons next spring, he will play in the Piedmont league this year.
 Meeker and willigrod were turned over to Richmond of the Virginia league. These youngsters landed in fast league and will have wonderful opportunity to show their wares during the coming year. Meeker, young eft-handed pitcher, was with the Barons last year, but Manager Molesworths pitching staff is so large this year and there is so much real talent to be found there, that young Meeker couldn't make the grade.
 Willgrod, strapping youngster of six feet, weighing 200 pounds, little more or less, is 8 first baseman. He is a splendid fielder but his willow threat ems not as much as Dutch" Bernsen, so the veteran captain of the Barons got the call at first base. Willigrod is a most promising youngster and should make splendid record in baseball.
 Kelly, pitcher. was sent to Jackson vile, in the Florida State league. He is a right-handed pitcher who needs only experience to develop into frst-cIass moundsman. Kelly's previous experience in baseball has consisted of a little semi pro hurling. He has fast ball with hop on 1t and in another year or two he should be heard from in baseball.
 Manager Molesworth stated that other releases will be announced within a day or so. By the end of the week the Baronial squad will probably be down to normal for this time of the year; that is, with a roster of 20 or 25 names on it. By next Wednesday the Barons will con- sist of only 15 or IS players

 ONE ON HUBERT AND ERIC
 Hubert Harper, ,cartoonist on The ge-Herald, and Eric Levisop, the novelist, were paired together in the first round of the newspaper golf tourney, and decided to play their game Thursday. Mr., Harper has been teeing up moth balls and using a walking cane for a driver for the past few days, but outside of that he never had any golf practice in his life. MT. L.evison claims a more thorough Knowledge of the game, and Harper placed himself if Erics hands Thursday.
 Well start here at the fifth hole and play through to the eiga teenth," said Eric.
 They started and played. But it happened to be the twelfth in- stead of the fifth, and, at the cli- max they were forced to start all over again. Due to this delay they rode back into Birmingham by moonlight lN
 
 Pete Marzoni ran into tough luck on the first round. LeRoy Jacobs trimmed him Thursday and Pete was forced to the second flight of the tourney.
