DEFEAT DICE
After Being Defeated the Day Before
by the Owls, the Farmers Come
Back Strong.
SCORE 11=4
A. &, M. came back in the second
game with Rice Saturday afternoon
and defeated them by a score of 11
to 4, thus breaking even with the
Owls. The feat was accomplished by
spectacular fielding and heavy hitting.
The Rice boys were astonished at the
way our men covered the ground and
landed on their twirlers. One home
run, a three-bagger, four two-base
hits and nine singles is the evidence
of the hitting done by A. & M.
There were more errors by both
teams and the pitching was not so
good as the game of the day before.
But all told, the game was a fine ex
hibition of good baseball.
Skeeler’s pitching was not a thing
to be gotten into by Rice to a very
great advantage. They landed on him
but failed to put the ball far. Chand
ler made a three-base hit and scored
two runs. Journeay made another
with one score as the result, while
McFarland made the third and last
score. Cabiness and Garnett also
made hits. Good fielding was done
by Chandler and Betts for Rice.
Wooten pitched the first two and
two-thirds innings, during which time
A. & M. made eight hits and the Owls
made three expensive errors. Long-
ley then took the box and A. & M.’s
hits slowed down some. Three runs
and six hits were made off him. His
team also furnished better backing
than they did for Wooten.
A. & M. fought hard and showed
excellent training; in fact, it was the
hardest game Rice has seen. Hits
were made when they were most
needed. The best hitting was done
by Powers, Cherry, Coleman and
Hooker. Powers scored four hits, in
cluding a two-bagger, Cherry made a
home run and a single, while Coleman
made a two-bagger and put one be
hind the infield and in front of the
outfield. Rigney was the man of the
hour. As shortsop he made ten stops
without an error and covered the
ground well all around him. When
a hit came his way the Rice rooters
counted another tagged man and
didn’t yell.
Johnny Garrity was in the game by
coaching the Rice men to root for
their team. He told them how to yell
and how we yelled at college in our
company games even. But something
seemed to be wrong with his students,
for they didn’t learn as fast as Johnny
wanted them to. He thinks perhaps
the weather had something to do with
their spirits.

A MAID.
A maid there was in our town
Whose modesty was rare;
Of autumn trees she’d never speak
Because their limbs were bare.
When night its sable shadow threw,
She’d tumble in a swoon
If curtains did not hide from view
The man up in the moon.
A plumber caused her death one day.
So the story goes,
By asking in a careless way
To let him see her hose.
—P. J. McENROE.
Magician—Has this shirt pocket of
yours a hole in it?
G. A. Saper—Yes, at the top.—Joke!
Haw! Haw!
THE BOY, THE COW AND THE
BUMBLE BEE.
A humble boy with a shining pail
Went gaily singing down the gale.
To where a cow with brindle tail
On the clover pasture did regale.
A bumble bee did gaily sail
Over the soft and shady vale,
To where the boy with shining pail
Was milking the cow with the brindle
tail.
The bee lit right on the cow’s left
ear ;
She kicked her heels into the at
mosphere,
And through the leaves of a chestnut
tree,
The poor boy sailed to eternity.
—M. A. ROSE.
GAME FISH.
I like that “Fish” who takes his medi
cine and grins,
The “Fish” who holds not the old
boys for their sins,
The “Fish” who stoops and squares
his breeches to the flame;
He may be right, he may be innocent,
but he’s GAME.
I like the old boy, who, caught in his
downward dance.
Is strong enough to match the faculty
for one more chance;
The old boy who can come back, tho
broken-hearted, sore and lame;
He may be strong, he may be guilty,
but he’s GAME.

Collins—I consulted the doctor to
day, and he advised me to quit running.
He said I had an enlargement of the
heart.
Fish Rogers—I told you it was a bad
policy to get girls on the brain,
