BASEBALL PROSPECTS AT
 HOWARD COLLEGE BRIGHT
Backstop And Two nfed Positions Only Vacancies To B. Filled By Coach Cope On Bulldog Nine This Year
 I'd Round Out Crack Nine

with the Partners of Birmingh ham Southern.
 Two ,infielders and a catcher seem to be the vacancies on the Cope nine of 1924, with the crying need coming be- hind the bat. The departure of Boiler" Afford, three-time star at Howard, leaves a gaping hole there that is torn even wider by the departure of Pony Cox, second string catcher of last sea son. Finny Griggs and Jess Lackey will not return to their old posts either first base and shortstop, respectively.
 The outfield will probably be intact with four of the members of last year. gardening outfit returning.
 The Prospects
 The way things now line up 1t seems that the hope of the Bulldogs lies in the following speculative roster: Ham Snake Rains of the 1922 outfit, pitchers Dan Gaylord, three-year backstop at Central High school and a utility man at Howard for three seasons, and Preacher Hyde, varsity second base man of 1922. catchers; Toby Stubbs, al- ternate with Griggs last season, first base; Gene Dawson, 1923 veteran, and Russell Tinkelpaugh. football star and reserve pastimer of 1928, second base Polly Scokel, former Ensley shortstop and Alfred Rains, 1923 reserve, short stops; Bo Brindley, four-year man in football and baseball, third base; Hugh Garfield, Bob Shelton.

Towards off season" in sports this year Is not proving 50 slack as might be expected. Although the year 1924 is only month old, three major sports are occupying the limelight. two active ly and the other along the lines of spec ulation.
 Football and basketball are being ac- lively carried on at Howard these days, with the varsity quintet playing throug it's 1924 schedule with regular games, and the football squad being sent through daily drills as development of the spring training plan now being carried out as regular part of the Cope system.
 Baseball will begin about March |, and already Bulldog packers are specu- lating over the prospects for the com ing season. Both spring football and basbasketball will end the latter week in February and then, after short respite, diamond work will begin.
 The direct tightening down on the freshman rule has caused a scarcity in the ranks of the Bulldogs, and Coach Cope must mould his team together from the material left over from 1923.
 Good Schedule Planned
 Gene Wellington, baseball manager for 1924, states that a very attractive schedule Is being closed up, with the probability of a trip to Florida featur- ing. Some of the best minor college teams In the south will be met by Cope s Bulldogs, including the annual series
