 SHAPE. AS MERCER WINNER AT SHOOT SHUTS OUT TIGERS OF THE GUN CLUl

AUBURN, Ala, March 24.-(Spe- cial.)-The Mercer Baptists reversed the outcome of yesterdays decision by defeating the Auburn Tigers by "Tige" Stone.s the veteran Mercer pitching ace. enjoyed the thrill that comes once in a lifetime" in t6day's encounter. The popular Baptist twirler is pitching his fourth and last season fer his alma mater, and, years gone by, he has not emerged the victor in TigerMercer game until today's game had been finished.
 At the beginning of the second in- ming Pitcher Knight sent Shephard back without'a a hit. Stone then came up and got on first by a scratch hit via third. Ellison then hit the only homer tf the day and brought in the onlys two scores of the game. Elli- sons long hit was a pretty fly into deep center field.
 The Tigers only chance to score came in their part of the eighth, when Captain Gibson hit to left for one base. Allen singled over second. The centerfielder fumbled and Gibson went tt' third and Allen to second. Gibson was put out at the plate on Griffin's infield hit to short. Shir- ling then hit to Short, who put Grif- fin out at second.
 At tHc peeiiiHiHs U! tlis iHHiis came the thrilling catch of the con- test. Webb. Tiger relief hurler, was the first batter to the plate. and on Stones first offering he hit a long one that lo oked dangerous. but Har- per. Mercer's fast center fielder. made a brilliant catch that stopped short Webbs efforts.
 At the beginning of the fifth, Coach Donohue sent Ralph Webb to the box. Webb, though rendering his first services in varsity uniform, cared for the mound work in splendid shape. For the remainder of the game, the Mercerites failed to count hit from Webbs offerings. Cap tain Gibson perhaps played the lead ing role for the Plainsmen. In addi- ton to his two hits. his catching was errorless. Knowles played good game at first and counted one of the quartet of hits totaled by the Tigers. Allen got the other hit for the Au- burnites.
 To Tige Stone goes the premier honors of the afternoons entertain ment. It was Stones superb deliv- cry that kept the Tiger batsmen at bay for five long chapters of the game. He displayed speed. control and quick delivery that kept the Tiger runners froZe to the bases. In addition to his fine work in the box. he got the hit that started the Bap- lated by the visitors were equally divided between Hammock, Smith. Stone, Ellison and Harper.

BANTAMS WILL STAGE THIRD MEETING IN B. A. C. BATTLE MONDAY
Tommy Tompkins Will Distribute Score Cards to Fans for Bouts in Lo- cal Arena.

Claude Wilson vs. Tim O'Dowd- that's the headline bout for Monday nights fight card at the Brming- ham Athletic club. It will be Will sons first bout in the south since his return from the east, ard his matching with the popular little At lanta Dixie title-holder is proving | popular one with Birmingham ring fans, if curbestone quotations. count for anything.
 The third time is always the charm, they say, and Monday night will see the third meeting of Will son and O"Dowd. In their two pre- vious bouts, O'Dowd won the first from Wilson, while Claude secured q draw with his Atlanta rival in the second. As Claude himself smil- ingly put it recently: Bout by bout l am getting better and better. l ought to win pretty soon." Wilson was speaking of his private little series with O'Dowd when he made that statement.
 Wilsop returned from the east a Htle over a week ago, in prime condition. He is weighing around 122 now and won't have to spot
 
 E. A. C. Monday night. Tommy Tompkins has had his boy working out daily. and Claude has kept at top notch condition for his bout with the Atlanta Dixie bantamweight champ.
 Jimmy PrOto Predicts.
 Jimmy Proto, popular little ban tam. who has fought two splendid bouts at the E. A. C.. has this to say about the affair Monday night, in the inimitable. soft, drawling voice of the Latins:
 Although l have never fought Will son. l have worked out with him, and, believe me, he is some good boy. l have fought O'Dowd, and | will say this for him, he can hit like pile driver.
 Claude is better boxer than O'Dowd, and his punches carry sur prising amount of steam. If Wilson is what you fellows call right. he But my advice to him is to watch that right hand of Tim ODowd, cause it's dynamite.
 "Who will win? That I cannot say, cause either might win. But, let me say this much, the one who does win will have to fight in very near championship form to do so,
 
 has two good boys in Wilson and ODowd."
 All of which means only this: Jim my Proto has great respect for both Wilson and O'Dowd. and predicts a great fight. Random needs no such prediction, because it has seen both boys fight and knows what they have in store.
 The question fandem seems to be quizzing over is this: Has Wilson improved enough to whip O'Dowd? In their last fight. Claude had inn proved enough to get a draw with his one time conqueror. Maybe the thirl time will be the charm for Wilson, and Claude may carry off top honors Monday night.
 Tommy Tompkins announces that score cards will be distributed for the main wrestling bouts at the 5. \. C. Monday night, which is q de- cided innovation in Magic City ring circles Tommy claims the fans may keep up with the fight as ac- curately as an official scoreer with a baseball game, by means of the cards he will give out.

HAMILTON PLANS TO PILOT OUTFIT FROM THE BENCH

NASHVILLE. Tenn. March A.-For the first time in a score of years the Nashville Southern league baseball team will be managed from the bench this year. This became known when Manager Jimmy Hamilton an- nounced today at the training camp in Jackson, Miss, that he would stay on the bench in order that he may carry on the roster Polly" Perritt as utility man. Hamilton's worries are now centered in the outfield, as Spoke Emery is sick and Lanch Richburg has delayed reporting be- cause he is coaching a college team in Florida. The Nashville manager believes. however. that his, team will be much stronger this year than last year.
