 The sewanee Tigers have already been played by the Partners in two-g game series in the Tennessee camp of the Purple Tigers. The series was divided, and the game Saturday will determine the winner of the series.
 The sewanee tilt will no doubt draw out the largest crowd of any college game of the present season. providing the weather conditions are good. for the Tennesseans have al- ways enjoyed wide popularity in the Magic City, while the college baseball local fans are also anxious 10 see Hfltoppers make a good showing.
 Babe Ruth Graham was the twirler who turned the Tigers back in de- feat in the first game of the Sewanee series. and 1t is probable that he will be assigned the task Of dupli- eating the feat Saturday. The Pan thers will enter the game anxious to cop the coveted series.
 This will be the first trip ever made by a Sewanee baseball team to the Magic City, and the Tigers are said to have one of the best col iege teams in the south this spring. They have good hitting team backed up by classy fielding.
 The Partners have been coping with the major college baseball teams in good style also. and will en- ter the Sewanee game on even foot ing with the invaders.
 The game with Howard Wednes- day Is the second game Of the five game series between the two teams, and will undoubtedly be hot one. The Panthers took the first game of the series. but are prepared for hard fight in the Wednesday battle.
