VOLUME XV COLLEGE, STATION, TEXAS, APRIL 1, 1908 NUMBER 23 A. AND Iff. VS. S. W. U. FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON- CLEAN AND SNAPPY The Visitors Defeated by a Score of 2 to 0 In First Game. Monday the cadets were given both a treat and a surprise in the way of baseball games between the A. and M. and S. W. U. and which result ed in a score of 2 to 0 in favor of A. and M. The surprise lay in the fact that most of the boys did not think the J-eaju capable. of v . puf,Un.a up-^Jngh class article of baseball as they suc ceeded in doing and some “before 'the game” were not a bit bashful about stating it. Perhaps they had reasons to believe that we would not have a team that would be up to the stand ard for all the boys that compose the team are very young and to a certain extent inexperienced besides having been handicapped by lack of practice and the absence of old men on the team. But these “adversibilities” seemed to have been more encourag ing than discouraging, judging from tbe way they played Monday. The treat came in the form of a first class game of baseball but pri marily in the victory for A. and M. At no stage of the game was there a certainty as to who would win the game Valthough A and M. outfielded and out hit her opponents. The score was 0 0 until first part of ninth inning and then Cornell hooked up the game with a timely three-bagger. Now for a fair rehearsal of how it happened, i. e., S. W. U.’s downfall. A. and M. outshut and outhit her opponents during the entire game but were prevented from scoring by the right arm of McFain and on ac count of the fact that their hits were scattered. We shall omit occurences of first eight innings, for neither side scored, and relate incidents of the fatal 9th spasm. Carlin, first man up struck out. Mc Daniel next man up was soaked in the ribs and in consequence went to first. He stole second and went to third on a hot to Stone by English who succeded in reaching first by error, then come to bat amid cheers, for the English then stole second, Cornell populace were aroused by this time, and waited until he got one that looked good to him. He then proceed ed to make such successful connec tion that he was enabled to reach third and McDaniel and English to score, before .the pellet could be re trieved. S. W. U. now came to bat and came very near making things inter esting. Stone got first on balls, was advanced to third by sacrifice and a wild throw by DeWfme , . Eversberg succeded in partly stop ping the ball and Stone thought he saw a good chance for home, but, oh, no! Eversberg succeeded in recovering and throwing the ball to Cornell who did the rest. Thus ended one of the best and cleanest games of ball that has ever been played at the athletic field. There was not one word of dissension. We regard the S. W. XL bunch as gentlemen in every sense of the word. Below is an account of game by in- nings. Line up. A. and M. S. W. U.
