HOWARD TO PUN
SEVERAL TEAMS
By SPORTS EDITOR
With the swing to Spring, the
athletes at Howard have begun to
use the available time and the
warm weather to brush up on their
tennis, baseball, golf and the like.
The Howard Bulldogs of the Dia¬
mond have been on the field about
one month and the team shows def¬
inite prospects of being as fine a
team as Howard has had in many
years. The individual players on
the squad comprise some of best
talent in the city for “Pro- Ball," but
their work as a team so far this
year has been far below expecta¬
tions. The record of the “Dogs"
is not favorable enough to print
at this time since their only decent
showing was against the Birming¬
ham Barons, but it is the opinion
of this writer that as soon as the
team begins to meet competition
of its own caliber that it will stop
'fiddling" and begin to play boll.
The practice of playing teams that
do not come up to the caliber of
your team Is on eof the surest ways
known to get a team to loafing.
The ••baaebaUers” that have look¬
ed best in practice to date are:
Wayne Dowdy at the bat, Bruce
Little on the mound, Harlow “Kid"
Cather afield. Dowdy, Waveriy
Watkins, and Howard Burks are
the only men, besides the ever re¬
liable Leonard Burton, who have
been hitting the ball consistently.
Eddie Welch as yet has been seeing
every pitcher as a left-hander and
has not been able to get on his bat¬
ting clothes, Dave Triford, the little
fmst-sacker, has been obseawd with
the same mania and be too is far
below expectations in the batting
department.
