Giving St. Louis End
of the Score//
The entire student body and hund
reds of Bryan and other out of town
people witnessed the defeat of the
Philadelpl. a Athletics by the Saint
Louis Cardinals on Kyle Field yester
day afternoon.
Jess Haines pitching for the Car
dinals won a tight game in this ap
parently endless series with the Ath
letics, 9-6. The score was a neat
6-6 tie when the Rickeymen went in
for their first half of the ninth. Stock
and Hornsby were on and two were
down. It seemed about time to stop
the pastime—at least Jacques Four
nier thought so for he walloped the
ball on the first bound over the right-
field fence, 392 feet away, which was
said by many here to be the longest
hit ever made on Kyle Field. At any
rate it was eminently satisfactory to
Manager Rickey, to the gentlement
from California and to the Cardinals.
Pitching his last game before he
is called upon to work against the
Browns in the coming city series,
Jess Haines certainly justified the
choice of Manager Rickey. Jess
faltered in the seventh and allowed
three runs which put the Mackmen
one tally ahead but the Cards came
back in the eighth with two, tying
it up and Jess came back with the
rest of the team shutting out the
enemy in the last two frames.
Young Eckert started against the
St. Louisihns but did not have much
luck. The Cards scored one in the
first on some pretty base-running by
Shotton after leading off with a two-
base hit. They got another in the
second and two in the third, after
which they stopped offense operations
until the eighth.
Helpless for the first three innings,

RICE LOSES
BOTH GAMES
TO A. & M.
First Game Little Slow With Pickup
in the Second Shutting Out
Visitors.
A. and M. opened the second in
ning of the first game with a salvo
and when the smoke had cleared
away five runners or enough to win
had crossed the plate. A hit bats
man, the first up, one walk and four
hits in this inning told the story af
ter Rice had sent two runners across
the plate on two errors and a hit in
the first half of this inning. The
Aggies put three men on bases the
first inning but were unable to ne
gotiate a timely hit.
The fifth inning contributed two
more runs to the total and the eighth
added another brace. Rice pushed
one more over before the final ending.
The real big noise of the day was
Brother Henderson. He had more
harmony than Vandy’s siver-throated
songsters and plucked Owl feathers
at will. Fourteen batsmen lost their
tail feathers thru his offering and
secured free passes to the dog house
at third base. In addition he hit
safely twice once for two bases.
Captain Lewis came through with
some real base running, scoring from
second on a bunt and the play to first.
Boys, he dusted in. Crawford also
secured an extra base hit and played
a jam up game behind the bat.
The fielding of the entire home
crew was good except for three jing
les, while the base running showed
up Fatty Matthewson as much as the
basket ball boys did when he essayed
that game. From his name you
would judge he is a pitcher. His
playing shows he is not a catcher.
For Rice, Dyer was the big man
with the stick, securing three hits in
four times up. Waters and Powell
and Nash fielded their positions well.

THE TRACK TEAM
SUFFERS SOME
PHYSICALLY
Only Short Time Now Until Men
Must Be In Form and
Going.
With only a few weeks until the
first meet, the track squad is round
ing into fine shape except for a few
injuries. Captain Hugon, a good bet
in the 220, 440 and relay, is still
limping from the effects of the
strained ankle on account of the
Soph-Junior rivalry prior to the ban
quet. Heinie Weir is suffering from
a boil and cannot put as much pep
into his work as he commonly does,
but it is a pretty sure bet that Heinie
will break the tape in most of his
races this year. His appetite for
peaches has declined quite a bit and
there is no reason why he shouldn’t
■ show his heels to the pick of the con
ference.
In addition to the above named T
men the following have won T’s on
the cinder path or field events and
are the pick of the lot so far this
year: Captain-elect Jack Mahan of
the football team in the shot and
javelin and pole-vault; J. T. L. Me-
New a T man from the ’17 season in
the javelin and discus; O. H. Fraz
ier in the high and low hurdles; D.
V. Shuhardt in the discus and pole-
vault who was a point winner on the
’16 team.
Men of last year’s squad who
failed to make letters, but who have
shown considerable improvement
since then are: “Big Boy” Keen in
the shot and discus; J. M. Reynolds
in the mile; D. D. Steele in the high
and broad jump; E. C. Ward in the
440 and relay; P. M. Mims in the 440
and relay; M. M. Works in the 440
and relay; Sammie H. Sanders, who
was ineligible last year, is dusting it
off in nice style in the 440 and relay;
Johnnie Pierce a T man in football
and basketball, is one of the best
bests in the half mile and though

“Ug” Russell worked out with the
baseball boys a short time ago and
hopes to get down for some of the
games while he is in Hearne with the
Pink Boll Worw crew. “Ug” was
catcher and Captain of the 1916
team.
