DUNN'S HURLERS COMING THROUGH INV NICE FASHION
Yannigans to Play Howard College Bulldogs. at Rick
 wood Saturday

Joe Dunn continues to rush work at Redwood. whipping his squad oi Baronial candidates into condition for diamond battles ahead, both during the regular and the exhibition sea son. Only two days more Of pre- liminary work remain before the first exhibition of, the year is scheduled. 5ts Friday morning Joe Dunn and about t5 Barons accompanied by Sec retary Billy West. leave Birming- ham for Montgomery, to open six game road trip. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be spent in Mont gomery, while Monday the Barons play at Troy, and wind up their trip with two-day stop at Selma.

Saturday afternoon at Rick wood the Baronial Yannigans will meet the Howard college Bull Dogs. It will be the first real fracas for the East Lakers, and the first out side game for the Yannigans.
 
 Pitchers Rounding to Form. With the continued warm weather. Joe Dunn's pitchers are rounding into something akin to real playing con- dition. All of the boys are getting lots of work, without overdoing mat ters, and the old fast balls are be- ginning to Show signs of their mid season hop"
 Joe Dunn has an abundance of good right handlers in camp. Phil Morrison and Red Bates, both of them veterans of the 1922 season, are speed ball artists of the first order, and have been showing the stuff this week. Phil is paying special atten- tion to his control, and, if he can master the art of direction, undoubt- edly will be a great asset to the Barons during the coming season. Red Bates, in his early season work out. has shown signs of much im- provement over last years form, and he was reckoned as ono of the best right handlers in the league then.
 Among the newcomers is Plateau Cox, "a regular on any. mans team" as a Baron official said. Cox comes here from Rochester, and no one is wondering whether he will make the
 
 many ball games he win win for the Barons this year. Tom Daniels ard Bill Gray of the young pitchers are showing the stuff that causes Joe Dunn to watch their work closely these days.
 o O O
 Southpaws Numerous.
 The southpaws are as numerous as the right handlers. There is Earl Whitehill, veteran of two years ser vice with the Barons. ~Whitey has picked up in his weight, and his fast ball has improved considerably. His curves are as good as ever, and Earl must be watched in the Southern during the coming season. A corking good left handler is Walter Stewart. if early season indications count for anything Stewart, came to the Bar ons from Detroit, and has had con siderable experience in fast company. He served his time in the Texas

BULLDOGS POLISH OFF FOR GO WITH BARON YANNIGANS
Few Places Are Cinched as Practice Continues at
 Berry Field

Coach Harris Cope is rushing work on Berry field this week, as his How ard college Bull Dogs face their first real game of the season Saturday, meeting the Baron Yannigans. The game will be played at Redwood, starting at 2:S0 o'clock.
 It is still bit early in the sea- son to be selecting team, but prac- tices on Berry field have shown sev- eral candidates to be of outstanding caliber.
 At first base, Jimmy Griggs is playing on the varsity. but Toby stubbs is coming rapidly to the fore, and must be watched. Gene Dawson, Tuscaloosa Hign star last year, has been playing good ball at second, until the flu" temporarily put him out of i,. Fred White is being tried at second during the sickness of Daw- son.
 Jess Laekeys experience and hit ting ability is giving him varsity choice at shortstop over Little" Bains, but the latter is showing un- usual promise, especially in fielding, and is sure to develop into a splen. did ball player in a year or so. "Bo" Brindley rounds out the varsity in- field from third base, and his hit ting makes him one of the most val uable men on the team. Johnson of Bessemer plays third base on the sec ond team, and seems to be nifty, ble ball player, despite his great weight.
 Garfield Showing Up
 In the varsity outfield, Shelton. Runyon and Darden have been used, but Hugh Garfield is causing con siderable comment With his terrific hitting. In q practice game Monday, Hugh slammed out four safe hits, that went completely over the right field dump. Hugh may be seen on the varsity in another day or so, if he continues to hit.
 Dsnind the bat, Boiler Afford IS holding down first string duties, with Pony" Cox helping him out. Cox is small for catcher, but hits the bali hard, and is all that could be desired as a college catcher, in the technical departments of the game.
 Ham stephens, Dan Gaylord, Frog Rains and Jim Bains have been used as right handed pitchers All work the fast ball well, while Stephens and Frog Rains have shown q good curve ball during the past few days Gaylord is captain of the Bull Dog nine this year, and will probably do considerable hurling for the East l.akers. Eb Cox is the southpaw on the squad, and this far has shown all the earmarks of being typical southpaw, with curves, speed and er- raticness.
 The Bull Dogs play the Barons Saturday and next Wednesday, while they will open their college season early in April against the University Crimsons.

This announcement was made by Connie Mack tonight following meeting or tine trustees of the bowl with MT. Mack and Thomas Shibe, at which the. invitation was extended. by the trustees and accepted by Mir. Mack and MT. Shibe.
 T consider Crampton Bowl the greatest training quarters in the south, and any major league team should feel proud to train in Mont gomery, Mir.

 Above are the pitchers Joe Dunn will take on the trip with him. All will get their chances to show their stuff" in the six games scheduled, as the early season requires the use of many twirlers.
 Joe Dunn is sending his men through two workouts day at Redwood, consisting of hitting and fielding practice for both infielders and outfielders, with some practice batting. The hurlers are getting grnera- thorough work outs each day and in another week will probably begin putting all they have on the ball,
