the game. He even might admit as
much himself. He hit three out of
four times, struck out seventeen men,
and was badly handled only in the
first inning. Texas played wonder
ful ball on the defense and was pow
erful, to say the least, on offense. A.
and M. fought hard and well, but the
pace Texas set was too fast.

Umpire: Rankin.
The second Texas game, as a ball
game, was much better than the first.
A. and M. came back fighting and be
hind good pitching by Henderson, put
up a class of play above that of the
previous day. Gillet was touched for
six hits, but he kept them scattered
and, with almost perfect, and at times
brilliant fielding behind him, no scores
resulted. In the sixth Guynes singl
ed, but a fast double play, Cannon to
McCollough to Falk, cut him off at
CHIPS FROM THE DIAMOND.
Or Notes on the First Baylor Game.
Anybody who says the team and
the crowd did not show the old pep
and enthusiasm at the Baylor games
is far from right. The first game
was played in the record time of 1
hour and 28 minutes, which shows
that the teams were pretty well on the
jump all during the game. This is
the kind of games the public likes
and is what makes the national game
such a popular sport.
* * He
Anyone who remembers the Baylor
teams of years gone by will have to
admit they have certainly improved
by at least a 100 per cent but they
don’t make them to good for A. and
M., as the box score will easily show.
He H: *
Boy you will have to admit that
that kid Henderson has certainly got
secon^an^GTezen at first. In the
eighth Matthews and Glezen singled
and a score seemed certain; but Moore
took in Dywers fly and the chance
was lost. Lackey went in for Wilson
in the seventh. The Farmer defense
was good except at a few critical
times and then errors were costly.
Guynes and Lewis connected with two
singles a piece. Henderson pitched a
game that was a shade better than
Gillet’s. He was unfortunate enough
to have his hits come at opportune
times, although but two runs against
him were earned. Nine Longhorns
took the short cut to the bench with
his compliments.
The Texas fielding was exception
ally good. Robertson made brilliant
catches of Hig’s hot one in the fifth
and Crawford’s blow in the ninth.
McCullough fielded with wonderful
steadiness. Speaking of fielding, one
Guynes did brilliant work. In the
third Faulk lifted a long one nearly
to the right field fence. Guynes, rac
ing back, jumped into the air and
came down with the ball. Again in
the seventh, he gathered in at a dead
run what looked like a sure hit from
Moore’s bat. All in all, it was a fair
representation of the relative
strength of the two teams. It is
true, however, that the breaks and
errors went to Texas. But they play
ed a bang-up game and we can only
say that we lost to a team that play
ed better ball than we did. But the
Farmers haven’t reached their limit
or even their real stride. Texas will
find it hard to repeat at Austin.
Score of second game; Texas 4, A.
and M. 0.

We have had the pleasure of see
ing some of the biggest catchers in
the line of beef that any one bunch
of fans ordinarily gets to see in a life
time, in the personages of the Rico
and Baylor backstops. Both have
been the butt of many a good joke,
and much to our dismay have taken
it rather good naturedly but, that is
about the only way they could have
taken it.

Home run Wilson as he has been
dubbed by the Baylorlites had a
rather hard time of it the first game
he let a couple bounce over him in
the outfield and to beat it all he came
up in a pinch in the 8th with three
on and one out and hit into a made-
to-order double, they ought to call
him Run Home Wilson.
Hi H« H«
To those who might have noticed
Pat drove out his first real honest to
goodness hit in the first Baylor game,
and boy it was done with a new bat,
now don’t you know that such a bat
must have rose in value at least 50
per cent in Pat’s estimation. There s
many another old knock in to Pat
you can wager your life on that.
Hi H* H«
In passing it might not be amiss
to mention the fact that Tanner pitch
ed a nice game of ball and ordinarily
he would have deserved a win, but
he was up against no ordinary team
when he hit A. and M.
Hi * *
Crawford seems to look like the
real goods behind the bat, he is con
tinually talking and trying to en
courage the pitcher and that is what
it takes, for a good catcher now a-
days. In the good old days it was

known of where a catcher was a con
tinual source of worry to the batter,
always trying to worry and distract
his attention; some have been known
to go so far as to always have a
mitt full of dust which he could un-
consiously throw out in front of the
batter and temporarily blind him.
However, we do not encourage such
action, but it shows to some extent
to what ends a catcher can go in
worrying a batter.

It is indeed a pleasure for one to
see Lackey pound the old horse hide
so persistently this year; it looks as
though he might'be going out for
sweet revenge in order to make up
for lost time of previous years.
