PAINTERS READY FOR GAMES WITH THE AUBURN NINE
Local CoIlegianS Are to Play Two Games With
 Oonahue Clan
By HORACE RENEGAR

Coach Charlie Brown has the Bir- ningham Southern college squad down now at hard work preparing them for the hard duo of games that they must face Friday when they tackle the Auburn crew in double engagement aIn the village of the plains"
 In meeting the Tigers, the Panthers realize that they are running into a tough assignment, for Auburn has one of the best college teams in the south this year. and stands a great chance of copping the s. l. A. A. championship.
 The hilltoppers are working ac- eordingly, for they are putting in well over two hours a day getting ready for the big test. The victory over the Howard Bulldogs did much to strengthen the confidence of the team, and. while every Panther realizes that four more games are yet to be played with Howard. they are confident of giving the oity col legiate rivals great fight, before conoeding them the series.
 Hurlers Show Up
 The Bulldog struggle gave the Panther mentor better light on his hurling staff, and with such prom ising pitchers as "Feedem" Oates and Babe" Graham showing up. the prospects have taken a decided rise.
 Both of these young twirlers came through with gobs of stuff last Sat urday. and had tho Bulldog aggregn- tion on their bip throughout. If they can only keep their pace the pitching worries should not be heavy on the shoulders of the coach.
 Two other freshmen delivered all that could be asked in the opening game. June Anderson. the oxford flash, handled the short field chances well with one miscue. He also crashed out 8 two-hase drive scoring the first run of the game.
 Ben Englebert was the other fresh man In the lineup. Englebert worked well on the torrid corner. handling three chances in great style without an error, and also getting credit for one safe bingle.

slammed 1t far over the fielder's head to the far reaches of left field. The ball bounced against the fence and before it could be retrieved and re- layed Stump had lapped the track for a homer. Harry Harper followed the limit clout with an immaculate sin gfe. to center. but was picked off first for the retirement of the side.
 Saints Get It Back
 The visitors got thls run back in the first half of the third. Bates couldn't locate the plate at the be- ginning of the Inning and he gave Christensen free transportation to first. Boone dropped down a bunt and sacrificed his mate to second. Haas grounded out to Neun on fast play. but Tim Hendryx, also another former Baron nemesis, who used to pastime for New Orleans, stepped up and slammed out a pinch single to center, which scored Christensen. Reds control wobbled again and he walked Whelan. but Berghammer brought the inning to close with a skyscraper to Harper in right.
 Reds Worst Inning
 Red suffered his worst inning in the fourth and the Saints counted twice by virtue of connecting up with their base hits. Allen led off the frame with long single to left am Armstrong and Sheehan were in- field outs. Red made the fatal mis- take of growing one for Christensen, however, and the Saint middle gar dener gave it the wood for a three ply wallop. scoring Allen. Boone beat out an infield tap on which Christen- ser scored, and Boone was retired a moment later on an attempted steal of second.
 The final tally for the visitors came over in the fifth inning, Drake first on the hill. Logan pinked Haas on the anatomy with a pitched ball to start the frame and he went over to third on whelan's two-bagger to right. Berghammer's sacrifice fly brought him home, and whelan moved over to third on the throw-in When the ball was deflected from Taylor's mitt, whelan overran third in an attempt to get home. and was caught In a chase.
 The story of the Barons second run of the day, which was put over at the fag-end of the game, has aI- ready been recounted.
 Kane in Lfne-Up
 Moley used his same lineup Tues day, with the exception of Krehmyer at second base. It has been known for some time that she Baron boss was figuring strongly on using Johnny Kane as utility man this year and he shot Sugar" into the line-ur to look him over Tuesday. Kane played jam-up game at second making some nifty tags of runners as they came into the base, but failed to deliver with the old paddle. He has been on the sick list for more than a week, however, and hasn't had real chance to get his eye on the ball.
 The Saints and Barons will play another game at the Wood" today and Thursday the Detroit Tigers come here for a single game.

HERRING TO MEET M'MAHON AT THE B. A. (. ON MONDAY
Nothing Has Been Heard From Stribling Yet, State
 B. A. c. Officials
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Patsy McMahon of Indianapolis, Ind. will be Red Herrins's opponent In a 10-round bout at the local Ath- ietic club next Monday night. ae- cording to an announcement by B. A. c. officials yesterday. McMahon was selected over Larry Avera of Atlanta, when it was learned that both boys were available for the bout.
 Young Strlbbling. whose father manager wired in Monday night that he was stale and would be un- able to fill his engagement with Her ring next Monday night, has not beon heard from, despite the fact that Roy Cohen, chairman of the boxing com mittee at the B. A. C.. wired in re- turn that if he didn't appear as scheduled. he would never be billed at the B. A. c. asain as long as Cohen Is head of boxing at the local club.
 It was stated yesterday that the Stribbling fight Is definitely off. but announcement of the Herring Me Mahon bout was made.
 Knocked Out Abel
 Patsy McMahon is an Indianapolis boy, who has made a good record in American rings. His greatest feat of late was his knock tout of Jake Abel, southern welterweight champion. about seven weeks ago. Tommy Tompkins, B. A. c. matchmaker, states that. McMahon really stopped Abel. .A
 Herring and McMahon have fought twice, both bouts ending In draws. E. A. c. officials believe they have secured the right man to send against the speedy Louisville mittman here next Monday night.
 In the fight at the club last Mon day night, Herring won a great num- Der of fight fans by his apparent easerness to keep the fight going from bell to bell. While his op- ponent. Young Leonard, seemed prone at times to slack up to slight degre, Herring never gave him a chance.
 Herring has a rushing. short jab style of fighting that is hard to beat but McMahon is said to be something of the same sort of scrapper With two boys like these in the ring, both willing to punch at short range, speedy battle is sure to develop.
 McMahon has quite a punch, win ming most of his battles via the knockout route, while the sorrel topped Louisville battler Is looked upon with no little respect for his own ability to land body shaking blows,

HerrIng,s Hand Q. K.


 Red Herring injured his hand in his bout with Young Leonard at the B. A. c. last Monday night, and at first 1t was thought that the Louis vile scrapper had broken his duke. However, 1t was ascertained .yester- day that only slight injury had been done the member. and that Red will be ready to fight next Monday night. Accordingly. arrangements for his bout with McMahon went merrily onward.
 Herring hurt bis hand in the sixth round, and finished the bout on about one cylinder and half. He was using his left in fine style, but used his right only occasionally. Red states that he had to rely on his abil- ity to dodge Leonard's left, as he couldn't bloc kwith his right after the paw was injured.
