Local CoIIegianS Pleased With Showing of Team in
 Saturdays Game
Ny HORACE nENEGAn

The Birmingham Southern College panthers resume work today iu prepa ration forA their Auburn 'rtp Fplday, when they tackle the Auburn nine In double header. The Partners are In a fine frame of mind now, fol- lowing their jumping off to a success ful lead in the Howard series last Saturday.
 The Panthers were scheduled 10 meet the Auburn team In single games next Friday and Saturday al Auburn. but Auburn asked Birmins- ham Southern officials to play both games Friday to enable the Tigers to play in Mobile tine following day 10 take part in the Auburn millian-do doi- lar campaign celebration.
 The Partners meet the Bulldogs on April 26 on the Howard campus in the second game of the city inter- collegiate series.
 Panther followers are feeling op- tmlstic over the prospects for good season. following the great showing made by the two freshmen hurlers Coach Charlie Brown sent against the Bulldogs in the initial game of the season. Both George oates ans Babe" Graham delivered the goods in the initial tilt
 Oates is a eool=headed lad w.th plenty of smoike and mean hop on the pellet. With the season a feE weeks older and the seasoning that hs will get under Coach Browns tutor age, he should make the Panthers a star slabster.
 Graham also looks like coming. college star Babe is I soathpaw with worlds of speed and crooks on the ball Graham lacks the experi- ence. but is expected to deliver.

the B. A. C. immediately began to tick him off as 10 to 3 fayerite for tonight's bout. .
 Herring uses close in, slashins style of battling. His short upper cuts seem cabable of creating con siderable havoc, while he seems to have stamina in abundance.
 Leonard Has Friends
 Young Leonard has many friends in Birmingham who claim he will out point Herring in tonight's fight This colony of fight tans says Leon ard, a hard-hitting, scientific boxer, will make circles around Herring who is 8 slugger. They point to Leon ards impressive showing in his bout with Eddie Hanlon here, his recent knockout of Sailor Blanque, and an early victory he won over Herring few years ago to back up their statements.
 Leonard and Herring ought to stage whirlwind bout, if cla5s has anything to do with it. and that local fact that an unusually heavy ad- vs nee sale of tickets has taken place

Manager Molesworth didn't au- nounee who will pitch the game tns afternoon, but either Rcd Bates ,r Earl whitehill wit probably draw the assignment. WhitehHl was red turned to the Barons from rittsbufs last week. and is in fine shape 10 pitch. He made a good showing with the Bucs. but couldn't break into th1 pitching staff of the Pirates. as George Gibson decided he needs an other year Of seasoning before beins ready for fast company.
 Bates Doing Well
 Red Bates, who is getting h.s sec ond trial with the Barons, has been showing lots of stuff this year, and may he given the assignment this aft ernoon. In fact, both Bates and WhltehIn may be used in the game with the Colonels.
 Louisville cones to Birmingham from Pensacola. Fla. where the Col onels yesterday afternoon defeated the Atlanta Crackers to |.
 Manager Molesworth will use the same lineup this afternoon that faced Chicago Saturday. The Baron boss has a likely looking outfit now. and with few exceptions his squad seems about lined up.
 Johnny Neun, who looks to be one Of the classiest young first basemen to try out with the Barons in a long time. will probably hold down the initial sack. Johnny is 9 speedy fielder and handles himself well around the bag
 kYehmyer st Second
 Dutch Krehmyer who was sent 10 replace Pie Traynor last year has been playing second base this year, and doing 1t in ereditable fashion. out on decision by Judge Landis Tommy Taylor, the veteran of last year, has been prancins around third base like x young colt and cons pletely bellies his rep for years "f service behind him.
 Doc Silva will lead off and play centerfield this afternoon. Silva s considered one of the fastest men .a baseball, and swipes bags with reg ularity. Silva is splendid fielder, and needs only to pick up a bit on his hitting to become one of the best outfielders in the league.
 In left will be either Stump Clark e or Tiee. Clarke has had more K perience than Tice, and perhaps fields better than his opponent. Tice. hoN- ever. has gotten quite a reputation for being q demon swatter. and will

 The truth of these statements IS 7som&what brought out by a glance al the records of the two men. Fights with Benny Leonard, Sailor Fried man.
