THE DAILY BULLETIN Vol 3. College Station, Texas, Friday, April 9, 1920. Number 163 NINE LOSES GAME TO BAYLOR BEARD Farmers Saw First Defeat of Season After Thirty Five Succes- sive Triumphs. The first athletic defeat of school year was suffered by the gie baseball nine at the hands of the Baylor Bears on Kyle field yes- terday. The score was 6 to 3. It was unfortunate for the nine that fought for the defense of A. & M.’s record on the diamond yester- day, but the gait that has been kept up by the Aggies throughout this year had to be broken, and it is only for yesterday’s warriors to take con- solation by becoming that irrevocable destiny that is ahead of any progressing person or thing. that he or it will sooner or later fal- ter and be forced to recognize the right of anather person or thing to taste that which has been his delight so long. The Bears, no doubt played a game that was unequalled by the showing any other team has made on the local diamond this season. They played a good hard game and against them the Farmers put up a weak resistance allowing them to reap the full benefits of their good work. the Sprague, Olsen, Ferrell and final- ly Henderson were sent into the box but the Baylor batsmen continued to hit throughout the game. The outfield received what came to them in good style, but the infield was weak. Eleven errors were made, while the Bears made only four. Alexander put the conventional look of expectation into the faces in the grandstand in the second inning when he placed a long one through center fielder for a home run. This feat however, was the only good one in that half. Three errors in quick succession by the Aggie infield allowed the Bears to, run in two scores in the fourth. In the fifth Wilson for the Bears lived on another error and came home on a two bagger making the score 3 to 1. The sixth passed out ‘quickly and the seventh proved to be the worst of the game for the Aggies. Five errors made at a time that was most welcome for the Bears allowed them to make three more scores. The Farmers gathered themselves for a fight with the stick in their half of the seventh. Higginbotham was walked, Alexander followed with a hit. Higginbotham stole second and came home on Dwyer’s hit and Alex- ander followed him in on a passed ball to third. stopped there and further aggressive- ness proved of no value scores.

Never before in the history of the world has there been a greater demand for cotton, and this demand will keep up for several years, ac- cording to present indications. The South should meet this demand. Larger crops should be planted, and every effort should be expended to swell the production. The world wants the cotton and will pay for it. if we produce it.” PROGRAM FOR THE BANKER-FARMER CONFERENCE HERE Program Committee has Reported a Compleze Program for Both Days of the Conference The program committee appointed by President Bizzell last week to pre- pare for the Banker- Farmer Conference to be held at Col- a program lege April 20 and 21, inclusive, has reported a complete program for the two day’s meeting.
