 Afternoon
By HORACE RENEGAR

The Birmingham Southern Pan- thers and the Howard Bulldogs mix matters in their time -honored GUS tom tomorrow afternoon in their third baseball game of the present collegiate season. The game will be played in Munger bowl. beginning promptly at o'clock.
 Both teams have spent an inactive week, caused from the continual rain that has kept their fields in soaked condition, but with weather condi- tons something like fair today and tomorrow, the bowl of the Pan thers should be in good condition for play to start on time.
 Walker May Pitch
 The line-ups of the two teams are expected to be practically the same as that which took the field last Wednesday on the Howard diamond The starting pitchers for the game are not absolutely definite, the coaches say, but no surprise will be felt if the Howard outfit starts tho game with Walker on the mound, although Webb or Rattenberry may get the call.
 The Panthers' twirling choice, as usual, will not be known until just before the game gets under way, for COaGh BrOWn WILL make no btdto- . ments or hurling prospects. Frog Miller, veteran of the staff, or "Feedem" Oates. diminutive young ster, will probably one of the other to get the call.
 Miller worked well in both of the games he has pitcherd so far this season, winning both. Oates has not faired so well, having hard luck on the days he mounted the hill.
 Rival BaclxstOps
 Greek" Griffin will complete the Panther battery as the receiver, and Greek has been clouting at terrific pace all the season. "Rowdy" Crew will do the backstopping for the Bulldogs.
 The Bulldog infield will nie up about as follows; Shores. first base; Hyde. second base; Lackey, short stop; Brindley. third base. The out field will probably be Runyan, left field; Shelton, center field; Garrett or Afford, right field.
 The Panther infield line-upe will probably be: Stuart, first base; Miller or Caldwell, second base; An derson, shortstop; Englebert third base. The outer defense will be Rowe, left field; Norton, center field, and Roger or Oates, right field.

One Game Is Scheduled For Today With Double Header For Saturday
Lefty WhitehiII Still Ready to , Be Sent Against Vols in { Opener at Redwood Park
By HENRY VANCE

Raindy days breed double-headers. That's the only good thing about Wednesdays serial rain storm. The Barons got in from Memphis Wednesday morning. The Vols came down from Nashville. Everything was all set for baseball game but the weather man. He was recit- ing that well-known little poem: Sprinkle, Sprinkle, Little Sky"
 .we'n play If it doesn't rain any more.~
 Bnfy West chirped them there en- courag1ng words at a. m.
 No sooner had Billy hung up the receiver. however, than the pitter-pat of rain was noticed. Then 15 min utes after the shower old Sol put on a Sunshinola record. Whereupon the scribe called again at 10 o'clock.
 Tt was just a light shower. We'll play if 1t doesn't rain anymore" an swered Billy.
 Had To Give Up
 But it rained some more. Between 10 and Il o'clock another light show CT came up, the skies upburdened themselves and the heavens cleared. Old Sol peeped forth once again.,
 '"Well play if it doesn't rain any more" replied Billy. He was game to the last gasp. A couple of other short showers appeared on the scene betewen Il and l. and shortly after the 1 o'clock hour the clouds congre- gated in real fashion and the flood gates opened
 'No game today-two Saturday," growled Billy West over the phone.
 Rain had fallen throughout Tues day night and Wednesday morning, and it's probably a good thing We'd nesday afternoons encounter between the Vols and Barons was called off. They'd never been able to stage the affair, unless each athlete had equipped himself with Weed chains. Even today's scheduled game Is doubtful, but it will be played. pro- viding there Is cessation of pre- cipitation. Otherwise the factions will be forced Into two double-bills handrunning Friday and Saturday.

 If the skies behave themselves to- day Manager Molesworth will send his little 1eft-hander. Earl Whitehall against the Vols. Larry Doyle's pitch ing selection has not been named.
 The Vols spent Wednesday loaf ing around the hotel and the Barons. after ebing forced into idleness for two days, seemed thoroughly peeved. They seemed to think the rest would hinder rather than help their return to form.

Ban Johnson Absolues Robertson of
 Suspicion

Chicago. May 2-President Ban Johnson of the American league to- day absolved Charles Robertson, Chi cago White Sox pitcher. from any sus- picion of having used a foreign sub stance on the ball in pitching his mo- hit, no-run game against Detroit at Detroit last Sunday.
 There had been intimations that Robertson had tempered with the ball, it being intimated that oil was used to make the ball hop freakishly. Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit club, wrote a letter to President Johnson regarding the matter
 Today Umpire Nallin brought to Chicago two of tho balls used in the contest, and submitted them to Pres- ident Johnson. After an examination 1t was announced that if there was any oil on the balls 1t without doubt came from batting the pellets against a screen at the rear of the home plate which had been oiledn to prevent rust.
 T consider Robertson one of the cleanest pitchers in organized base ball today" President Johnson said.
 Robertson's record of having pitched a no-run, no-hit game and having allowed no opponent to reach first base. has been equalled but five times in the history of organized baseball, and only twice previously under modern major league condi- tions.
