If drama Is the combination of unusual situations, that Baron Cracker game at Redwood this afternoon should be a great dra- matic success. Random has been watching for just such a situa- tion as will be brought about when Phil Morrison and King Brady oppose each other on the mound this afternoon.
 Phil Morrison, a veteran Baron who has served several seasons in a Magic City unie, was sold to the Crackers last week. King Brady. who occupied the same position with the Atlantans as Phil did with the Barons, was sold to Birmingham at the same time.
 And now, each Is making his first start against his old team mates, and the dramatic situation comes about when circum stance should place them In opposition to each other. It will be a grudge fight for fair, and fandom will stand on the side lines and watch with interest.
 Ed Wells made his deobut with the Rarons Monday. Ed turned out to he tall, Ianky southpav. with an excellent delivery and a curve ball that sngs down the groove like a marble down the gutter. Wells wxs bit wild Monday, but his wildness didn't figure fin the scoring of the Crackers, which argues well for the effectiveness of the Ianky portsider In the pinches Had the BarOns hit lick behind him yes- terday, he would have won his first start with ease.
 Harris o. Cope, coach of the Howard college Bulldogs, Is in town. The dapper little strate- glst arrived here Sunday, coming from his home at Cartersville. Ga, where he has been passing the summer.
 Cope will be here only short time, coming over to take a mid summers quint at the field of his activities next fall. He will re- turn home early this week and will not come back to Birming- ham until time to start football work at Howard in September.
 we'll 1t has been a hot sum- mer, grinned Coach Cope, when questioned as to the lay of the land this summer. That's about all ] know 10 say.
 "Of course, we expect to mt all we have into football next fall, and that's all we got. It's too early to say anything about the next gridiron Bulldog, but you may tell 'em for me that he will be a crapper-whether he be a 75-pound champion or runt of 20 or 25 ounces"
 Coach Cope will leave Tuesday morning, to return to his home at Cartesvflle, to look after his amateur baseball outfit over in the little Georgia burg. Cope is pliotinS team over there that is going through its rivals like fhnt famous Golden Tornado of 1917, that swept out of Georgia like darkey out of a graveyard at midnight.
 They seem to have established regular kennel over at Copes place, for five Bulldogs are listed among the Cartersville pastimers. All were stars at Howard during their college days. and only recently were performing on Magic City ath- letic fields as Bulldogs of East Lake.
 The five Howard stars are Chicken" McLane, Max (Bud) King, Pat Shores, Otha (Boiler- maker) Afford and Ham Stevens. Ham Is the only one of the quint who will be back with the Bull dogs next fall, the others having graduated or left school some time ago.
 Coach Cope stated that his team has been going like a house afire, winning eight out of it's last eleven games.
