ATHLETES CROWD MUNGER BOWL ASI
 SPORTS GET GOING
Spring Football Practice Is Next Sport on Panther
 Calendar
By HORACE RENEGAR

Munger bowl is a regular beehive Of sporting activities these days, with three major sport practices getting under way With the Birmingham Southern Panthers on the diamond in the center of the bowl at work. with the Simpson High Junior Panthers at work at baseball. with the Panther and Simpson track aspirants settling down for a hard spring grind, and With spring football starting, there is room for practically nothing else.
 Panther baseball stock has been at a standstill now for the past week, and is not due for a change until just before the opening game on April l, when the East Lake Bulldogs are tackled.
 Holes Seem Plugged
 Coach Charlie Brown is not weep ing over his prospects for the sea son, although they are not the best yet for a Hilltop machine. In fact, the Sunshine Slopers are just a little bit optimistic over the 1922 prospects.
 A week ago it seemed that the Panther mentor would have three glaring holes to remain open in the inffeld, but now it appears that the sextet of freshmen out for team will be able to supply the necessary ma terial.
 Ben Englebert is showing gobs of ability around the torrid corner, and Ben is beginning to take some of the worry off Coach Browns shoulders as to who could fill in on third base.
 The keystone is a place that is still far from practically settled yet. Julian Anderson. freshman from OK ford, is showing promise in the short field. while Ed Howell. Mitt Greene and Cotton Caldwell are all well in the race for the keystone bag itself.
 Rat Crew of Goodwater has also been fielding in fair style on third base
 Greek Griffin is whipping the ball around the bases with all of his old time pep. Grif Is being counted on a lot to work the recruit pitchers Coach Brown is trying out.
 Jack Stuart is stamping around first base again. and Jack will give any youngster who thinks that he can take his position a merry chase. Jack will he the only regular on the bases this season.

DIR. DAVID SPEAKS
 FOR RELIEF DRIVE

Because they would not forswear their religion and join the Turks who had allied themselves with Germany in the great World war the Christians in the near east were murdered by the thousands. Dr. Jacob David told { two audiences yesterday. He spoke yesterday morning to several hundred pupils at the Central high school and last night he was greeted by an audience of about 300 persons at the Vine Street Presbyterian church West End.
 The regular weekly prayer services were dispensed with by Dr. Moffett, pastor of the church. in order that Dr. David might have the time in which to tell of conditions in the near east and the needs of the Chris tians in the Bible lands.
 Dr. David spent 20 years as a mis- sionary of the Presbyterian church. working among Mohammedan boys in northwest Persia and while engaged in that service witnessed number of massacres of Christian men and wom- en. which had been instigated by Mo- hammedan priests He and his wife and three children narrowly escaped death at the hands of a Mohammedan mol on one occasion during the war. and they owe their escape to a friend ly governor, who warned the priest, who had ordered their death that America would kill the Mohammedans if they harmed Dr. David and his family.
 General Azgapetian and Dr. Claud' E. Hill of Chattanooga made short talks at the Rotary club luncheon yesterday at which they presented the case of the near east sufferers
 Dr. David and General Azgapetian will speak at joint meeting of min- isters and Sunday school superintend- ents at the Hillman hotel tonight
 The retail grocers will meet Friday night to perfect plans for carrying out the canned goods program.

JRTS-- BARONS DEFEAT BULLDOGS AT RICKWOOD SPORTS
Mitchell Strengthens
 His Boston Ball Club

, regulars it is not likely that either Smith or Putnam will get his job Smith is a left handler drafted from the South Atlantic league and Put nam, a southpaw collegian who was recommended to Mitchell by Billy
 Hamilton. Norman Boeckel has no competitor for third base nor has Horace Ford at second. In the field Ford will stand comparison with any
 one and If the fast little collegian could hammer the ball about 25 points
 more he would be one of the great players of the day.
 Mitchell Is very well satisfied with
 his outfield which comprises South worth, Powell and Cruise, regulars and all left hand hitters, and Nixon and Nicholson. pinch hitters and uti1- ity outfielders and both heavy right handed sluggers.
 O'Neil. Gibson and Gowdy are the backstops and they come near being
 the class of the league behind the plate. The two first named can do anything well that catcher should do and they are deserving of a large
 ordinary string of pitchers whom they handled last season. Hank Gowdy is getting well along in years but is still capable of considerable good work and his long experience
 makes him valuable as assistant to the manager
 While a definite position will not be assigned the Braves until the
 final article of this series, 1t can be
 accepted now that this team Is going
 to give all pennant contenders, in- cluding the champion Giants, a world
 of trouble.
 Pitchers: Oeschger. Fi1lingim, Mil Ter, McQuillen. Watson, Rudolph, l. Townsend. Pierotti. Morgan, all right handlers; Marquard, Tyler. Bcaxton

Toronto Wins Close Game From Auburn
 By Score of , to 4

Auburn. March Special 1.-The
 Toronto lnternationals showed super form. perfect ease and confidence in
 the sport they have made a profes- sion, in their victory of , 10 4 over
 the Auburn Tigers here today. The
 Tigers hit in spells, but their rallies could not cope with the steadiness and experienced calmuess of the Cana
 dians. Tn matter of form, the yisi-
 tors played the game to win and won, while Auburn played for the love of the sport and is happy that they gave
 the Maple Leaves a close game. Shirling. Griffin and Scott along with Freshman HiXon did some good hitting. Moulton on the mound was
 little wild, but finally settled down and controlled the corners with a 1 style all his own. Gibson caught a
 beautiful game and his work behind i the bat is attracting comment from
 all those who have seen him in action

lrIoLE FoUR-BosroN BRAVES

ARTICLE FoUR-BOsToN BRAVES
 Two additions to the regular line mp of the Boston Braves may produce enough extra strength to enable Man ager Mitchell to equal, or possibly, excel his feat of 1921 when he took a rather weak looking aggregation and finished fourth in the National league campaign.
 During the winter Rube Marquard was secured from Cincinnati and the ancient veteran, Frank Miller, who began pitching about 16 years ago. has been induced to sign a Brave contract and is busily engaged here in getting ready for what he believes will be a most successful season. Mil Ter has not hurled professional ball for two years but has kept his salary arm in shape by working regularly in games near his Michigan home.
 Counting on Veterans
 Manager Mitchell really is not stretching a point in saving that he expects valuable assistance from these two old timers. Marquard who seems to have bathed In the spring of perpetual youth. worked in 30 full games for the weak Cincinnati team last year and was credited with 17 victories and IA defeats. In earned runs he had better record than any of the regular Boston boxmen with an average of 3.3S. this mark topping that secured by Haines. Alexander. Nehf and Q number of other bright lights.
 There has never been anything the matter with Miller's arm and he de- clares that he will be ready when the bell rings to do as well as he did at any time for several years before he retired at the close of the f9 season. Some Experienced HurIers Besides Miller. Mitchell has Oeseh- ger, Watson. Fillingim and McQuil- len, all experienced right handlers and Pierotti and Morgan rockies who made very good records last year. George Tyler, who was one of the famous trio who won lasting fame in 1914 when they carried the Braves to a world championship In a sensational finish is trying q come back as is Coach Dick Rudolph, but nothing is expected of either. If one or both succeed even moderately in their am lbitions the management will consider their work just so much extra >help
 The only other change from the 1921 Braves that is contemplated at this time is the possible substitution of Larry Kopf for Walter Barbare at short. The chance for Larry to push Babare to the bench is not bright. Kopf is q trifle smoother workman in the field than Barbare but the latter ! is good honest to goodness fielder and with the willow he has 1t all over Kopf. On going over the play by play records l found that Barbare was in nearly all the Dig innings" that the Braves had last season. Boston has no batting strength 10 spare so Kopf will probably have to be content with the utility iufield role this summer. 1 In that capacity he is very valuable, l Two younsters are trying for Wal ter Holkes job at first base and while

Last year Hub Perdue worked bill to death in the early spring, and this excessive work made kink in his arm. which he was never able to get out during the 1921 season. This sIring his arm is O. k, however. and he looks like he should prove winner with the Barons.
 Medals Are Permanent
 Save Larney says that some bowlers have gained the idea that they could stay out of the tour nament for the city champion ship. then challenge the winner of the play, and get the medals. That's all wrong Tine bowlers who cop off the gold bronze and silver medals which are now on display in Jaffe's window, will come into permanent possession Of them, and no challenges to the winner will gain match, ac- cording to Sake, who also states that the tourney has caused high interest among the Magic City's tribe of pin-smashers.
 A Burning Issue
 Now, ain't Bob Tyson. former secretary of the Barons. a regular devil? Bob calls Grenada, Miss, his home town now, and he's a film impressario down that way. Only the other day he mailed me a clipping from the front page of the Grenada Sentinel. the news paper of that burg. It seems that f,Tanld, Ia I.n nf and here is the clipping:
 At the regular monthly meet ing of the Algamated Marble Players of Genada county. the following resolutions were unani- mously passed:
 Whereas, we view with alarm that none of the candidates out for sheriff has announced in his platform that he would be glad to have the association use part of the court house yard for the purpose of playing marbles and to transact any other business that might come before it.
 Therefore, 1t is hereby resolved that we as a body enmasse as- sembled 10 protect our rights, do hereby ask that each and every candidate shall let our assoeia- tion know how he stands on this question So dear to the hearts of our entire county.
 Resolved further, that this Amalgamated Association of Mar blue players has done more to put Grenada on the map than any organization ever started in this county. From Grenada to New York city, to points in the west. and 10 the bloody fields ofjFlan- ders it is spoken of with the tenderest feeling. Signed: R. A. Mckee, middle buster; B. C.

a fielder's choice, when he forced Lackey at second. Crews went down to second on Walkers single and over to third on Brandon's bad peg. Gar rett brought him home with first blood with safety to center. Brind- ley retired the side by grounding out.
 Barons Get Run Back
 The Barons got this run back in their half. Burkett looked over four wide ones and walked, Kane hit a hot line drive to Gaylord which he snagged for 8 put out and Burkett was doubled off first. Stump Clark cranked up his dogs and beat out an infield hit and went down to sec ond via the balk route. Tommy Fay Tor then applied the mace vigorously for three bagger and Clark's tally evened the count.
 Howard failed to score in their half of the second, but the Barons pushe i across two. Laekey's peg to first was bad on Krehmyers grounder and Dutch went safe, pulling a steal of second a moment later. Brenners hit to left scored Krehmyer and Herbert went to second on the throw-if. Toot- CT sacrificed him over to third and he rode home when Walker threw badly to first, after fielding Varda- amns roller.
 From that time on the old affair assumed the shape of real ball game, with the score remaining 3-l until the eighth. During this time Gaylord pitched four innings and Rit- tenberry worked two, in which the latter gave up only one hit and no scores. In the seventh Webb. who had pitched against the Barons Sat urday, went in. He was greeted with salute of two three baggers ana a single. Burkett's three-ply blow went to deep left and Sugar Kane came through with a triple in the opposite direction. scoring Burkett. Stump Clarke then poked out his sec ond hit of the day and scored Kane.
 In the first of the seventh the How ardites had scored one on the deliv- cry of Drake. With two gone Wal | lser- -baggered and Garrett slam med a vicious single to left. which scored his man.
 The Barons topped off the after noon's work by putting across an other counter in the eighth. A base on balls to Krehmyer, his second steal of second, and Brandon's second double of the afternoon pulled the trick.
 Shutter Matthews, who is in charge of the team during Moley's absence. will put his charges through some grillinE work Thursday afternoon. Friday they go to Tuscalosa to do battle against the university boys and Saturday they double back to Redwood for a second setto with the Alabama Crimsons.
