AUBURN TO MEET SOLDIER OUTFIT AT HOME FRIDAY
Camp Bennings Nine to h. wade PlainSmen Campus
 For Two Games
Ny EMMETT sIzEMoRE

p Auburn, March 15.-(special)-- With only two more days before the opening game and with muddy field to greet his horsehiders, Coach Mike Donahue is making ready for the in itiaI tilt booked on the 1922 baseball schedule.
 The Plainsmen will open a two same series on the campus Friday afternoon with the United States in- fantry school of Camp Benning. While this game is looked on as a preparatory affair for the Donahue men, stiff opposition from the sol- diers Is to be expected. since the Benning team is made up largely of former college stars.
 So many new faces have shown up to fill vacant jobs left by last year S graduation that lot of shifting around Is expected before assigning definitely some of the posts. With Gibson behind the plate, Ed Shirling in right field. Captain Charley Scott In center and Rich" Richardson at the keystone bag, four permanent fixtures may be noted.
 Frank Knowles. who has recently undergone an operation for appendi- citis, has returned to the campus and is expected to be in harness within the next few days. Knowles performed in the outer gardens last season. but will make strong bid for first base position this spring and with his previous experience in the diamond game, should show up well this season. In addition to Knowles and Doc" Hale on the first sack, Fatty Lawrence, star line- man of last seasons football team, has again donned fighting togs. and promises to make it rough sailing for the first base contenders.
 Lineville Boy Advances
 On the shortstop job, Red" Grif- fin, of Lineville, who played on last years scrub team, is likely to start Friday, while on the, hot corner will be found Arnold or Melvin, also of last seasons second string outfit.
 In right field two freshmen, Ed Allen of Selma. and a former third haseman on the Marion institute team. and Hixon of Troy, will both get a chance to display their wares iE Fridays and Saturdays contests.
 From the mound Slick" Mouiton and George Grant are expected to handle the bulk of the tossing. while Rat" Sheridan of Bessemer, Rat" Thompson of Montgomery and for merly of Sidney Lanier High, and Rat Newton may be called on to deliver few twisters to the Ben hing batters. Grant and Moulton who worked in n number of games last spring with the Plainsmen and later joined the pitching staff of the fast Andalusia team, will probably be expected to look after major DOT ton of the delivering this season.

big league training camps In the south. just few days after it had been announced that he had re- signed from the federal bench to devote all his time to baseball. All of which goes to show that the judge wanted to put his whole heart In the baseball work, and visit camps and everything. but couldn't afford to do it while hampered with law matters and the like.
 He Is being given great re- ception Rt every camp he visits and is being entertained royalty in every town. And. remember this, baseball made tenstriNe when the judge was lanosd. He is respected and admired by play CTS, managers and magnates alike. and there never mas been a man in baseball who has been rec ognized as such 8 leader. such an authority, and so capable of threshing out questions arising between players and their em- ployers, Sometimes the club gets the worst end of the deal finan- eially and sometimes the judge sticks 1t 10 the player. But in all instances he puts common sense to work and rules with an iron hand, once he has convinced himself of what is the fair and square way to dispose of a mat ter.
 The veteran Ed Manning. who was booked to join the other Me thuseiahs on the Atlanta club this year announces that Pa Time has claimed him, and that he has re- tired from the game for good. Ed pastimed in the Mississippi state league last season, and despite his advanced years, had good sea son.
 Reports from Bay St. Louis, Miss, the spring camp of the Crackers, are to the effect that Charlie Frank is recovering from the illness which has gripped him all winter, and Is so much i'm proved that he will be able to watch the Cracker practices in a week or so.

 John Peters, former Baron catch CT, has made such an impression on Manager Wilhelm of the Phil lies, that reports from the camp are to the effect that Henline and Pete will alternate in doing all the catching for the Phlllies thls year.
 The average rookie dreams some day of making his batting average as high as his booting average.
 Sat" Summa, former Baron, who was the property of the Pittsburg club. and who refused to sign Pirate contract this spring, because he wanted more money. suddenly finds himself shunted on to the Texas league.

Gibbons March is Halted

Gibbons March is Halted
 For over year now they have been hsiling Tommy Gibbons as the wonder man, and have been touting him as just the man to meet and defeat Jack Dempsey. True, Gibbons had a wonderful string of consecutive knoekouts to his credit and was going top ward in very much the same manner that Jack the Demp rose to fame. However, insiders have been keeping tab on TommY's many fights and it has been noticed and remarked upon that in majority of instances his foes were set-ups. Then, along came Greb and won out over Tommy in 15-round setto, all of which convinees fight-followers that he has been a muchly over rated man, or that he was fight ing badly off form the other night. Anyway his march was brought to a sudden halt, and a possible foe. or possible con- queror for Dempsey seems further away now than ever Experts, however, seem agreed that when some man does get Dempsey. and smashes the crown from his head, 1t will not be a bulky pug of the type of Willard. but a man even smaller than the champion.
 Bootleggers around Birming- ham are wearing broad smiles these days along with the dairy men. Excessive rainfalls of the past few weeks have made it easier for them to water up their products.
 Strfb to Get Herring
 It has been announced that Young Stribling's next appear ance in Birmingham will be against Red Herring. Memphis fighter. And. unless Herring has deteriorated the past year or so, he should give the Macon Mauler tough competition. Herring is the lad who went against Champion Benny Leonard in Memphis about a couple of years ago. Following his fight with Herring, Leonard went on over to Atlanta and met and defeated Jake Abel, the welter. After the Abel fight Leonard admitted that Herring nau gwen hlm more lrouble than Jake. The Herring boy has a pretty good punch" said Cham pion Benny.
 Herring's fame at that time was spreading over the south, and Joe Woodman. former man ager of Sam Langford, had heard of his prowess. Joe sought to get in touch with Herring at that time. They tell me the boy has a wicked punch" said Joe on one of his numerous visits south. "and l would like to get him for my stable. But, believe me, if Herring ever fights for me, he'll have to change that name. Red Herring! Ye gods. Think what an opportunity it would give the fans to razz him and shout you poor fish, once some good boy started to facing him"
 Herring hasn't been heard from a great deal in Dixie in the past Y2 months. but if he's as good as he was two years ago, he should furnish the toughest opposition that Young Stribling has yet met in Birmingham.
