A. & m. WINS EXTRA
INNING CONTEST WITH
SOUTHWESTERN BOYS
Fast Game Cinched in the Tenth
When Cherry Scored on
Coleman’s Hard Rap.
The Farmers defeated Southwest
ern Monday afternoon on Kyle Field
by a score of 2 to 1 in the first extra
inning game of the season.
The Aggies won the game in the
last half of the tenth inning. With
the score 1 to 1 in the last half of
the tenth, Tom Cherry knocked a
liner right down the third-base line
for two bases. Rigney sacrificed, ad
vancing Cherry to third. Then Cole
man came up and knocked a two-
bagger, scoring Cherry and ending
the game.
The game was a pitchers’ battle
from start to finish, Olson getting
eleven strikeouts and allowing five
hits, while MacLarty got six strike
outs and only allowed the Farmers
three hits, but all three of them were
two-baggers and every one counted
in the scoring. The Southwestern
hits were scattered, and whenever a
man got to first Pat tightened up and
pitched himself out of the hole.
Beringer got the first two-bagger
in the fifth, scoring Rigney, making
the score 1 to 0. Cherry got his in
the tenth, and then Coleman got the
third one in the tenth, bringing in
Cherry and winning the game.
Powers made a sensational catch in
deep center on the dead run in the
ninth. It looked like a sure hit, but
Powers got it just before it reached
the ground.
Rigney kept everybody interested
with his sensational stops. He got
three lined rives that looked like sure
hits.
Maxwell of Southwestern was on
the job all the time. His red hair
first attracted the attention of the
rooters, and he held it when he got
three hits out of five times at the
bat. MacLarty of Southwestern
pitched a good game and his speed in
getting the ball to first base was re
markable.
A. & M. made the first score in the
last half of the fifth. Tom Cherry
got to first on an error, but was put
out trying to steal second. Rigney
got to second on an error, the right
fielder dropping a hard drive. Cole
man knocked a fly to the center
fielder. Then Beringer knocked the
cleanest two-bagger of the game,
scoring Cherry.
Southwestern came back strong in
the sixth. The first man went out
on a long fly. The next man got to
first on an error, and advanced to
second, and then to third on two
passed balls and scored on Harris’
bunt. The next man up went out on
a popup. Harris stole second. Max
well got a hit and advanced Harris
to third, but the next man up knock
ed an easy fly and the inning was
over.
There was no more scoring then
until the last half of the tenth, when
Cherry got a two-bagger and scored
on Coleman’s two-bagger.

j NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
j By CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.

New York, May 12.—“Not more
than 10 per cent of women stand cor
rectly, in an attitude expressing up
rightness, womanly dignity and self
poise.”
That is Miss Susanna Crocroft’s in
dictment of the grace and poise of
the American woman, and can any
one say that it isn’t a true bill?
Scarcely a year ago hundreds of
thousands of women were deliberate
ly practicing the debutante slouch
and the kangaroo walk, in which the
entire body assumed a one-sided tired,
dispirited droop, the antipodes of
graces, symmetry and balance.
And awkward poses and move
ments are remediable. There can be
no question about that. One may not
be able to change the color of one’s
eyes or the shape of one’s nose, but
one can learn to stand, walk and sit
properly. Today Miss Crocroft dis
cussed some of the guiding principles
of grace.
“I cannot too fully emphasize the
importance of correct poise and car
riage as affecting the vital organs,
the nerve centers, the freedom of the
lungs and the action of the heart,”
she began. “In order that no one
set of muscles or vital organs may
bear the weight of another, the bones
must be properly adjusted in their
sockets. Not one woman in seventy-
five stands correctly, with the weight
lifted from the abdomenal organs.
“If you would know when the body
is properly poised, stand opposite the
edge of an open door or any perpen
dicular line; place the balls of the
feet, the front of the hip bone and
the front of the shoulder against the
door, poise the head so that the front
of the ear is on a line with the same.
Most women feel unnatural in this
position, because certain muscles
lengthen and others shorten, to ac
commodate the habit of standing. The
attitude gives buoyancy and strength
of body and mind. It is the ‘athletic
poise.’ ”
