Local Outfit Expects to
 Force the Crimsons
Bulldog Quint to Face Grim sons in Two Games-Ala' bama Without the Services of StabIer

--
 Howard colleges basketball squae is in Tuscaloosa today to play tht first game of two game series with the University of Alabama Crimsons The game will be played tonight in the university gymnasium.
 The Bulldogs will return to Bit. mingham Sunday. after games witl the Crimsons tonight and Saturday Howard is sending one of the best basketball teams in years to the uni- versity for their annual games, but, unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Ala bama also has a wonderful team in the field, and should win tonight. $ game without much trouble Ai- though stories of cripples and hard luck have been coming out from the capstone. the general opinion is that Alabama will have strong enough team on the court tonight.
 Probable line-ups for tonight s game follow;
 Howard Bulldogs
 Shores and Crews. forwards.
 Stubbs. center.
 Lackey and Afford guards,
 Alabama CrimsonS
 McGauley and Gazolla. forwards.
 Carter. center.
 Hudson and Leake, guards
 The team to be sent in against the Crimsons is the regular quint. and the Bulldogs perhaps have ncvcr been in better shape for a cage game with the Crimsons. Shores anj Crews arc about the best forwards the East Lakers have had in soipe time. while Stubts' great work Sa the B. X. (. game Tuesday night hts earned recognition for him. Lackey and Afford are determined guards, and stick to their man and the bail, well.
 Dan Gaylord is ready to step in at guard at any time, while "Short!'' Webb and Garret are held in reserve at forwards.
 Alabama Crippled
 The loss of Stabler, at center, robs Alabama of one of it's best pivot men in years Stabler is splendid mstli on the offense. and his floor worN has proven to be all that could be desired Slim Carter will be used at center, m place of Stabler.
 At the forwards will probably be McGauley and Gazolla, although Ri- ley, Cobb and Cummings will be ready for instant use.
 If Gazolla Is used at forward, Arm stead Leake will be used at one guard, with Captain Hudson at the other.
 Alabama and Howard have always been rivals. but the great showing of the Bulldogs against the Grim sons in football has increased the feeling of friendly competition be- tween the two schools, and the two cage games this weekend ought ,o be corkers

PAT JONES TO PILOT
 TH0MAST0N BALL NINE

Selma. January 19.-(Special. )-Or- ganization of 8 baseball team to rep resent Thomaston for the coming sea son has just been completed, and Pat Jones of Selma has just been engaged by promoters of the club to coach the team and get them in readiness for the coming season. Thomaston last summer had one fthe best semi professional teams in central Ala bama, and will have such men as Brooks Buchanan, the three Shredder brothers and the Golden boys in the lineup for the opening game. All these boys have the stuff and all they need is little training under a coach like Pat to bring it out of them. Jones will manage the Union town team again after the season starts, and Thomaston is to be con graduated on securing his services for period prior to the opening.

Dobbs' New Infield

Dobbs' New Infield
 Dobbs, boss of the Pels, who admittedly had one of the best in fields ever to represent a South ern league club last year, has wrecked the works for the com ing campaign. and the only fa- miliar face to be noted around the infield will be the frontispiece of the venerable Cotton Knaupp. Ball players may come and 20, but it looks like the ancient Cot ton will go on and on forever. Il seems like he's been playing in New orleans ever since the yell low fever epidemic closed it's run there, many, many years ago.
 To take Leslie's place at first Johnny has purchased young fellow named Henry from the Texas league. Sport scribes in PelicanviHe are already hailing Henry as the equal of Leslie. who went to the Phillies. A young fellow named Foss has succeeded Don Rader at short. the latter go- ing to the Texas league via the St. Louis Cardinals, and Smith, also from the Texas league, is to take Bogarts place at third.
 Bobbs must also rebuild his outfield, as Boone and Griffith have been called higher. and even though they are not retained in majorland, it is understood they will not find their waya back to the Southern league.
 Boorde Back In Town
 Freddie Boorde. who is slated to meet Young Stribling at the Birmingham Athletic club in a 1O- round go next Monday night, has arrived in town and has placed himself in the care of Tommy Thompkins in preparation for the best bout Birmingham has ever seen.
 Freddie spent the holidays at his home in Indiana, and found the eating up there, even after Christmas had gone. of an extra good quality. Despite destruction of several of the turkey family, an endless assortment of fried chicken and the like, Freddie doesn't look over weight, and promises to be in top top condi- tion for the Monday night battle.
 
 Bing Miller. the former home run king of the Southern league, has registered a howl over being transferred from the Washington Senators to the Philadelphia Ath- letics. Doesn't look like Blng should grow peeVed. With those short fences at Shibe park he should greatly increase his home run acreage the coming summer.

Coast Towns Too Damp
 The general migration from Florida of the big league outfits was brought about through the fact that the ma jor managers found the coast towns too misty, and the damp air too penetrating. Florida is great little winter resort, of course, and if one gets far enough south, or deep enough inland the cold. damp winds are avoided. However, there are not enough sites available in the ex- treme southern portion of Florida, and even if one gets inland, fur ther up on the peninsula. the strip of land is so narrow that wind from either side of the coast proves disagreeable. To iron out the kinks and get in condition a ball player must perspire freely. This Is impossible on the coast towns.
 Never will I forget a visit to the camp of Uncle Wilbert Robin sons Dodgers in Daytona in 1915. The Barons were camped in Or lando and we went over to Day tona to play Robby's hirelings series Of four games. @But part of one battle was staged. On the other days the water oozed from the skies and sunshine was minus quantity. Robby tried that for two years and then gave up. However, l note that he couldntt leave Florida and is camped at Jacksonville for this springs training.
 Tried It Another Time
 Robby explained things to me, but l believed he was only theorist, just knew the weather would be fine in other coast towns and attributed his bad luck to an extremely damp spring.
 Tn 1919 l took another shot at coast town, accompanying the Atlanta ball club to Bay St. Louis, Miss, on it's firt trip down. Straw hats, Palm Beach suits. etc, flick cred through the writer's vision on the way down. Yet. once es- tablished at Bay St. Louis the at mosphere was as uncomfortable as cold, clammy hand. Fogs as thick IS gravy seeped down upon the gloom laden athletes, and coast disturbances kept everyone in an uncomfortable, unsettled state.
 Almost without exception ball clubs have found the coast towns an ideal place in which to spring charlie horses. develop sore arms and colds. Hence, the general trekk west. where Texas is sup posed 10 be as dry as a kiln at this time of the year.
