LONGHORNS GET A
SECOND VICTORY
FROM THE AGGIES
The Aggies Fielding and Hitting Was
Too Weak to Make Anything off
the Texas Team.
Gillette pitching beautiful ball
for the Longhorns and receiving al-
most perfect support from his team-
mates shut out the Aggies yesterday
the
second defeat received at the hands
of the Longhorns by the Aggies.
Better hitting and faster fielding
tells the story of the defeat of the
Aggies. The Longhorns hit
pinches and took advantage of each
by a score of 5 to 0, making
in
of the three errors made by A. and
M. while the Aggies were not able
to bunch their hits with men on bas-
es. Henderson pitched a beautiful
game for the Aggies but his support
wabbled in pinches and three of the
hits credited to the
should have been turned into easy
Longhorns
These two
wins over the Aggies give the Long-
horns the edge on the state title.
Texas started the scoring of the
game in their part of the second
when a hit and a couple of bad er-
rors by the Aggies let them work
one man across the home plate.
~ The Aggies worked three men onto
bases in the second but it netted them
nothing.

center field retiring them again with-
out scoring.
Hart opened up the fifth for Texas
by a three base hit and came home on
Gillette’s single. Gillette soon fol-
lowed him across the home plate giv-
ing them two more scores.
Falk’s three base hit in the eighth
brought in another. One three base
hit and a single netted them their
last score in the ninth making the
total of 5.
The Aggies felt first and second

Drainage is a Most Important Factor
Of Crop Production in Some Counties
Drainage Enables Farmers of the Lowlands to Follow a Plan of Crop Di-
versification Impossible Under the Natural Con-
ditions of Such Districts.
New Drainage
Good drainage is an important
factor in crop production in the Gulf
Costal Plain. The land is fertile and
only good drainage is necessary for
the production of large crop yields.
This drainage is provided by the
opening up of large ditches into
which the surplus water flows and is
carried into the regular water
| courses. By this means it is possi-
ble to rid land of excessive
water and thus provide ideal condi-
tions for plant growth.
With the proper drainage facil-
ities a large and very productive
territory is being developed into a
model farming section in the
Eastern Gulf Costal Plain.
No factor is so important to the
farming interests of this section as
good drainage and the matter of pro-
viding good drainage systems is al-
ready in progress in Jefferson,
Brazoria and other counties. There-
