THE BATTALION

BIG LEAGUE BALL EN
JOYED BY STUDENTS
(Continued from Page 1)
the Athletics pushed two over in the
fourth on a pass to Dugan and a
mighty swat to left for the circuit
by Dykes.
Came the last of the seventh and
the score 4-3 in favor of St. Loius.
Galloway and Strunk began with
singles and another single and a wild
pitch, an error by Stock and a sacri
fice, gave them three runs, Haines
then tightened and fanned both Dykes
and Styles. Thereafter, he was in
no trouble. Rickey ordered Clemons
in to pinch-hit for Jess in the eighth
but changed his mind whereupon Jess
hit into a double play and killed a
rally.
The ninth was the real session.
Shotton opened with his second-two-
bagger, this time to right. Heath-
cote advanced him with a sacrifice
but he was out at the plate on Stock’s
tap to Dyke. Hornsby sent Stock
on to third with a single and then
came Fournier’s tremendous poke to
right which made the Athletic’s ninth
inning a mere formality.
As a result of yesterday’s game,
this series which seems now to have
started back about 1912 is again
knotted, the count being seven apiece.
Today the teams are in Bonham for
the fifteenth game.
Locally, the interest was in D. X.
Bible as umpire and the ability with
which the home boys skimmed over
the fences—while Paul Revere made
liis 1920 rounds.
ATTENTION JUNIORS!
It is the desire of the Editorial
Staff of the Junior Battalion to be
able to publish their special edition
of the “Bat” the next issue. To be
able to do this sufficient material
must be gathered.
Up to the present time the material
has been contributed by only a faith
ful few.
This “Bat” belongs to the Junior
Class and it is up to the class as a
whole to back it both financially and
materially.
If you have any bits of current
gossip that you would like to have in
print send them in.
Next Tuesday night marks the last
chance of contributing to your class
paper.
BRANCH RICKEY TALKS TO
BASEBALL MEN
Immediately after the League
game Monday, Branch Rickey
watched the A- and M. team work
out and was especially pleased with
the ability manifested by the home
boys. He enthused over the fielding
and throwing of Hig and Dwyer and
the way they fielded their positions.
After the practice he made a short
talk to the boys and showed the dif
ference between professional and
college baseball and the attitude the
men have towards the end of win
ning. He said that an athlete was
repaid in physical and moral gain for
every bit of effort he put into his
game and that no athlete would last
long or be of much service unless he
lived a clean life.
Rub-My-Tism is a great pain killer.
It relieves pain and soreness caused
by Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sprains,
etc. 20
TRACK TEAM SUFFERS
SOME PHYSICALLY
(Continued from Page 1)
this is his first year on the track
squad he is showing much promise.
W. M. Denny, another old man in
the pole-vault and hurdles, is round
ing into shape nicely.
Of the new men who have been
kept on the squad, Barmore from
Cameron in the pole vault, high jump
and 220 hurdles will probably make
points for A. and M. this year. R.
E. Harris in the 440 and relay is
bound to help out and Hailey in the
half mile and mile is a man who will
not be last when the tape is broken.
Dinwiddie in the discus has beautiful
form and is getting a lot of distance
in his hurl. W. J. Smith in the broad
and high jump has a lot of spring
and shows all the marks of a good
man in these events. J. W. Wilder
and T. C. Davis are two good men in
the sprints and broad jumps. A. and
M.’s best bet in the two mile is W.
W. Lynch. Brummett is another
sprint man who is running next to
Heinie. Two other men in the relay
who will help out are H. C. Mitchell
and T. E. Riggs. Riggs also does the
low hurdles. Eubanks is stepping
nicely in the half and promises to
be a winner.
The squad has been cut to 27 men
and from this 27 will be picked the
team to go to S. M. U. on the 10th.
It will be seen that the bunch as a
whole is a well rounded track and
field combination and the team that
beats them in a dual meet will prob
ably win the Conference meet. The
schedule for the team follows:
April 10, Southern Methodist Uni
versity, Dallas, Texas.
April 24, Texas University, Aus
tin, Texas.
April 30, Rice Institute, College
Station.
May 7, Baylor University, College
Station.
May 15, Conference Meet, Hous
ton, Texas.
NEW BASEBALL GRAND STAND
COMPLETED
The new baseball grandstand
which was begun last spring by the
Freshmen, has been at last.fully com
pleted and stained a dark green and
adds materially to the comfort of
the spectators who come out for the
spring games.
All seats have back rests and the
stand is covered and has a ventilat
ed sunshade. The boxes are well
protected by wire netting and the
batters box is moved in close to the
stand so that every rooter can shout
encouragement to his favorite hit
ter. The players’ benches are com
fortable and well shaded. The dia
mond is in better shape than it has
been in five years. The paths are
sanded and the infield is sodded. The
outfield is a perfect green carpet.
The condition of the outfield is
due a great deal to the goats which
were put on there last summer. They
keep the grass and weeds down and
Kyle Field as a whole is neat as pins.
The goats also furnish a barbecue
each year for the T men in the
spring at the Fish Tank, thereby fill
ing a double purpose.
Mr. Vick White, who is in charge
of the field this year, has made his
work tell and the quality of the play
ing fields in football and baseball
and the track for the track men is
due to Mr. White’s untiring efforts.
666 has proven it will cure Malaria,
Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever Colds
and LaGrippe. 20
