The staff of the Sophomore Bat talion desires to state in regard to the letter which was published in the Sophomore Battalion: That the letter was turned in to them as a “fake” letter written by one of the cadets; That if they had known that the letter was a real letter, they would not have published it; And that they beg the pardon of those whose names have been unin tentionally used, and regret very much that the letter was published. SOPHOMORE STAFF. c TEAM LEAVES FOR FT. WORTH. The baseball team left Tuesday night for Fort Worth, where they play T. C. U. Wednesday and Thurs day, and then go to Sherman for -two games with Austin College on Friday and Saturday. The team left College in a badly crippled condition. Hohn, the regular catcher, being laid up with the mumps, will not be able to make the trip. The entire regular outfield will be out of the game. Fuller is out on account of a badly sprained ankle, Simmons is on furlough and Under wood can not leave on account of faculty regulations. This is a very bad time for such | a calamity to happen to the team, as 1 these games mean a whole lot toward winning the State championship. Be- ! sides, they are going up against some i of the strongest ptichers in the asso- 1 ciation, in Morton and Lowry. On ac count of the badly crippled team we only expect an even break, and the team is confident of that at least. i The first game at Fort Worth will be called at 2 o’clock, so as not to interfere with the opening of the Texas League. The following men made the trip: Neyland, Felt, catch ers; Puckett, Wathen, Henderson, Roach, infielders; Darst, Vesmirovsky, Goodman, outfielders; Moore, captain; Whipkey and Anderson, pitchers, and Coach Moran and Manager Poole.

His weird tales of love, theaters, yachts and travels remain fixed in our minds as sweet memories of a fluent and an interesting conversationalist. TENNIS. The first tryout for the tennis squad was held last Sunday, and what material came out showed up well. Practice will continue this week, after which the squad will be selected. There is a good deal of work to be done on the courts, but the coach has promised to put them in good condi tion, and they will probably be ready by the time the squad is picked. Nets and balls have been ordered, and ev erything is being done to make the coming tournament a success. Five or six colleges will be represented, and we can expect some fast and snappy games. The following men have reported for practice: Elliot, J. W.; Moore, A.; Giesecke, B. E.; Williford, G. W.; Ashford, G. W.; Rodriguez, R. B.; Crum, J. B.; Whitfield, C. A.; Mc Cullough, R. E.; Luhn, G. D.; Hud gins, L. A.; Francis, A. J.; Kincaid, E. B.; Marks, S. H., and Shropshire, L. O. We will have for 20th inst. red or white carnations and red or white roses at $1.5 Oper dozen each. Bou quets with ferns and ribbons for $2.50 to $5.00 each. Write or ’phone us your orders early.
