Baseball Schedule of Local

Practice Game Played
BY MARGARET BAKER

Out on Munger field Coach Charlie
Brown is driving his men hard in prepa-
ration for the games Friday and Satur-
day with Marion Military institute. Those
games were not included in the original
schedule. but were added when it was
found that Marion would be here on
Wednesday and Thursday to play How
ard. While this arrangement will force
the cadets to play four or perhaps five
games in a row, they are expected to
furnish stiff opposition for the Pan
theirs.
Last fall the cadets fell before the Pan
theirs in football. and it is probable that
they will try to even UP things on the
diamond. These games are also expected
to furnish some dope as to the compare
tive strength of the Bulldogs and the
Panthers.
Tuesday afternoon the Panther regulars
engaged in a nifty little practice game
with the second stringers. Miller twirled
for the second stringers and allowed the
regulars only two hits triple by Lewis
and a single by Suffer- incidentally. this

CUE EXPERTS MEET
IN DUO OF GAMES
AT SUBWAY TO-DAY
SpeerS and Yamada to Play
Afternoon and Night Games
at Local Billiard ParIor

the Magic City cue colony over the an
nouncement that George e. Speers, vet
eran billiardist, and Koji Yamada, Jap
anese champ, will meet this afternoon
and tonight at the Subway billiard par
Tors in two exhibition games. The aft

tons today may rest assured that they
will be well repaid for their efforts.
Yamada and Speers will play a 250-point
straight rail billiard game in the after
noon, to, be followed by an exhibition of
fancy shooting by both chalkmen. To-
night a 250-point balk-line billiard game
will be played This game, also, will
be followed by fancy shooting by sSpeers
and Yamada.
PAST MASTERS
At the spectacular and fancy shot
game, these two exponents of the fibre
tipped cue game are almost unexcelled
by American billiardists. Both are past
masters at making cue ball perform
their slightest wish, such as skipping the
rope, high jump. kiss, and yes. makeup.
also. In fact, Speers and Yamada can
do almost anything they wish with the
ivory spheres.
Speers is a veteran in the billiard world
and is considered one of the foremost
authorities on the table top pastime. His
special hobby is the teaching of inexpe-
rienced players to become clever manip-
ulators of the cue. His pointers to be-
ginners have been published all over the
country.
A. B. A. IN CHARGE
Yamada has played many exhibition
games with Willie Hoppe. worlds cham
pion balk-line billiardist, and has de-
teated the champ on numerous occasions.
He is considered by leading billiard au-
thorities to be the greatest masse shot
in the world,
The exhibition games of today are
being fostered by the Alabama Billiard
association, the new organization in this
state, which has started drive for clean
billiards in Alabama. This first attempt
of the A. B. A. to bring high-elass bill
lizards to Birmingham and to Alabama
will no doubt be watched with interest
by local sportsmen.
