BULLDOGS ROMP ON MILLSAPS NINE INV OPENING CONTEST
ny HARMELL ALLEN

As result of spectacular pitching by King and some hard hitting on the part of his mates. the Howard Bulldogs were able to trounce the Millsaps college team by score of to 5. The feature of the game was Kings pitching King struck out IS men and allowed oply seven scattered hits to his opponents and some of these hits would not have been made had it not been for some slow handling of the ball on the part of the infieId, which showed poor form on the defensive but were bears with the stick
 In the opening frame King started off the first of the inning in fine style, but with two out, Rives got next to him for a single and scored on long hit by Rouss. Rouss would have made a home run had it not been for his failure to touch second base The Howardites then came up in their part of the first and after two men had been retired. McLane and Drake got busy and made two runs
 In the second inning. King got down to real business and would have retired the side without any more runs being made but his mates weakened little and one run was scored by the Milsappers. The Bull dogs were idle in their part of the second and failed to score
 In the third Milsaps came back strong with both Mccormack and Colmes hitting safely and scoring In their half of the third, the Bulldogs went to sleep and failed to score.
 Both teams were idle with the bat for the next three innings and it not until Towards half of the seventh that the fire works started In this frame Shelton came up and donated beautiful hit to the cause. This put pep into the whole team and Boil ermaker Afford treated himself to a hit that went for all four of the bases
 After this Rives and his mates came back to earth and the Bulldogs retired without further damage being done to the horsehide.
 Tn the eighth, Howard started hitting base hit. Afford came up and delivered again with single and Shelton scored the last tally that the Howardites registered.
 In the ninth the visitors tried a comeback but King made things look gloomy by strik- ing the first man out. After this he let one slip the wrong way and Musclewhite made a three base hit and scored on a -bagger by Herlong. King then retired the side by striking out two pinch hitters in q row and the game was over, the Bulldogs annexinc the fracas by a three-run margin Score.

FREDDIE WELSH ISI MAKING EFFORT TO- COME BACK IN RING
Former Lightweight Champ Really Doing Well in Pre-
 paratory Work
By FAIRPLAY
CCOpyright, 1921. by The Age-HcraId.)

Copyright, 1921, by The Age-Hcrhid'D 'D
 New York, April 27.-It is always interesting to watch champion who is making an effort to come back. Just now it is Freddie Welsh, whose title of lightweight champion of the world was taken away from him in 1918 by Benny Leonard. Tomorrow night Freddie will engage in one of a series of fights which will carry him up to a meeting with Benny Leonard His opponent is q Newark fighter, and the bout will take place in Summit N. J. Welsh has been in the United States army for two years, and for q year be- fore that he did no fighting. But he has taken care of himself and Wednes- day when I saw him work out he showed himself to be a master of all his old tricks.
 It is not at all likely that Welsh win agree to meet Leonard on July 1. as reported Freddie is no fool, and he realizes that he has a considerable dis tanco to travel before he will be fit to make a good showing against the champion. But let the following fact be entered upon the minutes: Freddie is qualified right now to beat 90 per cent of the boys in his class, and he is going ahead to prove that fact

While everyone is talking about Trister and Careful as eminent Ken lucky derby possibilities, we humbly suggest that the Whitney lilly Prudery be not overlooked Horsemen who watched Prudery at work in south Jer- sey say that thye is little or nothing to choose between Tryster and the lilly at least over mile course.

 Press dispatch from Little Rock reads: 'Moley had so many pitchers he didn't know what to do with them" Maybe sp and maybe NOT. So far, inferior pitching has caused the majority of Baronial defeats. There are only three or four of Moleys seven pitchers whom we would lay our money on in a pinch.
 Emery got his usual hit yesterday. Of the six bingles made by the Barons, one was made by Emery, one by Stewart. Bernsen and Gooch and two by Clarke. "Bubber'' Jonnard was in too good form for the Barons to win.
 Nashville, the league "goat" outfit, won it's second victory yesterday in divid- ing a double-header with the Chicks. It, by the way, was the second defeat for the Chicks. The former team seems in mighty bad way, while the latter out fit, the Memphis Tribe, is not in need of any Red Cross attention at present.
