The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-02

The Bulldogs had shown an un- usual amount of adeptness at the willow when opposed to the Barons 8 week or so ago, and yesterday they did outhit their Owenton foes. Bus in the pinch the Bulldog might as well have had no teeth, so weakly did the Howard batters hit the ball.
 Charlie Browns Partners started to work from the start, and piled up three run lead in the first three innings. It was by this margin that they walloped Howard. ss
 George Oates, a freshman, started on the mound, and despite the fact that Bulldog batters claimed he had nothing on the ball but a little speed and a muddy horsehide cover, he made that pellet do all sorts of queer things, and the Bulldogs couldn't hit him with any degree oe effectiveness. In five full innings the Howardites garnered only four hits and one run off the delivery of the Panther youngster.
 After the withdrawal of Oates, which came about for no particular reason other than the earliness of the season and the chill of the breeze, Babe Ruth" Graham was sent to the hill. Babe" showed an awesome countenance and a fast ball that seemed to scorch the atmosphere and leave smoky trail as 1t burned it's way plateward into the mitt of Catcher Greek Griffin. Although five hits were somehow or other col- lected off the delivery of Graham, only one run, and that unearned, was made off him.
 Gaylord Settles Down
 Day Gaylord started on the mound for the Bulldogs, and for four in.s ninss showed little more effective. ness than the ordinary outfielder gould have done. However, he tight ened up in the fifth, and during the remainder of the game was not scored upon, and allowed only three hits. All five of the Panthers' runs were made in the first four innings.
 In the first frame the Partners began making their hay, and the sun was shining brightly, as two ta1lies were the sum total of the early har- vest. Mike Norton nonchalantly looked over about seven of Gaylord's offerings, and four of them were wide, so Norton was donated a bag. Miller forced Norton at second but Anderson slapped down a double to left, and Miller scored Griffin grounded out to Walker but Rowe kissed one way over Shelton's head m centerfield for two bags, and Ander- | final run of that frame.
 Tn the second frame, Rogers hit to right, was sacrificed to second, and scored on Miller's hit to center. after Oates had flied out and Norton walked Anderson popped up for the

Walker singled viciously to center and took second and third on successive wild pitches by Oates. Garrett struck out, but Brindley sent one to right and Walker scored.

Norton went down on the first ball, and both run ners scored when Jess Lackev chunked wild to first after making pretty stop of Milier's grounder Anderson hit to Gaylord and was 1 thrown out, ending the frame and the last of the Panther scoring.
 Bulldoes' Final Run
 It was Tn the ninth inning that the Bulldogs put across their final rim. Srindiey singled, Hyde struck out and shelton singled to right Rogers let the ball get through him and in the melee that followed, Brindlev scored and Shelton went to third Gaylord struck out and Iackey popped up to Englebert, ending the 1 game.
 The Panthers outplayed their oppo- nents and deserved to win, but the game was not as one sided s 1t might appear, for, after Gaylord settled | CTS battle.
