BULLDOGS WILL
MEET FURMAN IN
TILT HERE TODAY
Snake Bains To Twirl For
Howard On Berry
Field.

! The Furman university baseball team
will meet the Howard Bulldogs Friday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at Berry field In
what 10 expected to be real battle.
The Furman team has not played in
this vicinity before this year, and little
team they have; but reports coming
from their own part of the country
say they may be expected to give the
Howard tossers a good battle.
While the Bulldogs realize that they
are facing a worthy foe In the Furman
nine. they are anxious for the battle
and feel that in their present condition
they will at least be able to give the
Carolina boys a good game. Snake
Bains Is slated to do the hurting for
the Crimson team in today's game, and
from the form that he has shown of
late is being counted upon to do some
nice hurting.
Assured of Good support
The prospects are that Bains will
have plenty of support. as every man
on the team has been going good for
work behind theS bat,afand he should
be able to help Bains out quite a bit, as
he has been improving in his receiving
steadily for the past two weeks.
The infielders will be Scokel at first,
Dawson at second, A. Bains at short
and Brindle at third. This combina-
ton is one of the strongest infields
that Howard has ever had, and from
the game they played against Auburn
1t is reasonable to predict that the
Bulldog infield will show just as much
as the Furman aggregation have to
offer. Polly Scokel. who takes care
of first base, has not only been fielding
in good style, but he is also showing
much improvement at the bat. Polly
has a past record as good hitter. and
now that he is getting right the Bull
do gfans are looking for him to regis
ter a number of tallies before the sea-
son gets much older.
30 Brindle is another of the infield
ers that seems to have found his bat
ting eye again. Bo has been knocking
the ball everywhere lately, which means
that he Is going to be hard on pitchers
again this year as he was last season.
white Hopes To Get Back
The only outfielder who is absolutely
sure TO get into today's games is Cap
tain Bob Shelton. Bob will look after
the middle garden. and he seems to be
in the best of form. The other out
fielders will be taken from Fred White,
Hugh Barfield, Darden and Preacher
Hyde. Fred White looks sure to get
the call for left field, as he has par
TALLY shaken his jinx and has been
able to give a good account of himself
OF late. After being out of the Auburn
games. Fred is anxious to get started,
and he is expected to show some of
his old form IL he gets in the game.
Hyde, Barfield and Norris are all GO
ing nicely and either one of the three
will be able to play the right garden
In jam-up fashion. There is no over
confidence in the Howard camp, but
they feel able to give the Furman boys
hard struggle and the game this
afternoon should be worth seeing.
