Notes From the Press Box.
The Aggies were all dolled up in
their new unies and believe me they
sure gave them a good baptism—let’s
let the good work go on. Did you rec
ognize all of them, it was a hard job
to tell some of them after seeing them
dressed in their old uniforms for such
a long time. The Athletic Department
is to be congratulated on the pattern
and design they chose, for it is one of
the neatest appearing suits that has
graced Kyle Field in many a day. *
* * ❖
Coach Bible played the role of Umps
and he did it up brownskin. Silk-O
Loughlin in his prime did not have a
thing on him and it is doubtful if he
could droll out his trike “tuh” any
better than Bible did.
* * *
Peter Wilson, better known as Wax-
ahachie, was a milion dollar kid
around the keystone sack in the in
itial fracus. He fielded and hit a
thousand, and that is not a record that
is made every day. The only thing
he did not do was make an error. The
box score shows him as being up
twice and making two hits but that
was not all he did. He got a base on
balls, was hit by the pitcher and made
a perfect sacrifice hit. He was kinda
in the coke once though, and got
caught off first on a fly ball, other
wise he had a perfect day. Look out
for this youngster if he keeps up such
a terriffic pace is all we can say.
* * *
Henderson pitched a fine game and
from Simmons’ viewpoint, was unhit-
able as he gave up only one hit and
that was to Collins, and he struck out
11 men in all. His one great weak
ness in the first game was that he put
too many in the groove and did not
work the comers enough.
Whether it was out of brotherly
love or just a mere coincidence, it is
a fact that the two Randel brothers
struck out in the sixth one right after
the other.
The old pill was mauled all over the
lot but it was up to Henderson, Craw
ford and Dwyer to drive it the fur-
therest and each one of them regis
tered a three base hit.
Morris played his first game at
short and did it up nicely. He made
one fumble on a hard hit ball, but that
was his only bobble and he had many
hard chances during the game. He
hit hard and safely to the extent of
three base hits.
AGGIES WIN
SECOND VICTORY
FROM SIMMONS
Team as a Whole Plays Midseason
Ball and Sprague is Unhitable
In the Pinches.
The second game of the 1921 sea
son was placed on the won side of the
ledger when Sprague held the Sim
mons team down to a few scattered
hits, and no runs. It looked at first
as though Simmons might do some
thing, as the first man up hit for three
bases, right after that hit Sprague
closed up like a clam and hits were
very scarce, in fact • Tabor died on
third, none of his team-mates being
able to bring him home.
The weather was very coolish and
anything but baseball weather. It
would have seemed more fitting to
have had a football game in progress.
However, even with the cold weather
the Aggies put up a creditable show
ing and if they improve much more
they are going to be the best in the
world.
The hitting was not as much in evi
dence as it was in the first game, but
it looked as though we were facing a
better pitcher in the box this time than
we were in the game the day before.
Although he did not have much more
than a glove and a prayer in the box.
In all he was only nicked for but six
hits and they were able to gather five,
only one less than we got. However,
ours were of timely nature and every
one was made to count.
Our next games are with Rice and
they come the 30th and 31st of this
month, so we should have some very
interesting struggles to witness before
long, at least here’s hoping that they
give us a little more opposition than
our last opponent did.

Notes From the Press Box.
The band made up for a bad show
ing the second day out and anyone
who failed to hear Frame deliver the
goods the second day missed a rare
treat, as he brought out his drum as
well as his sticks this time apd did not
fool the boys with his $5.00 lick.
* * *
Tabor looked like the best player
on the Simmons team and while he
was nothing exceptional he looked bet
ter than the rest. He hit good; in
fact better than the average Simmons
player; he had a blow to his credit
in both games. He fielded his posi
tion nicely and did not have an error
marked up against him during either
of the games.
* * *
Sprague sure has a wicked move to
first. Dodge can certainly vouch for
that, for he had him sliding back to
first when he delivered the ball to the
batter on his half balk motion. Lefty
certainly was air tight in the pinches
and hit was an unknown word to him.
He also seemed to work the corners
nicely and was not guilty of the com
mon offense of grooving them.
* * *
The press box was graced with gdod
chairs the second game, the war relick
of a bench being removed. Thanks to
the heavy weight of three or four per
sonages who graced the box the first
game.
* * *
As soon as the season progresses a
little bit, it is the intention of the
sport editor to run the batting and
fielding averages in each issue of The
Battalion. This will give all some idea
as to how the hitting and fielding is
being carried on by the members of
the team.
* * *
There has not been a base stolen off
Crawford in either game which either
goes to show that they know what
kind of a peg he has or were just not
adventurous as are most college ball
players when they get on base and
want to steal the first pop out of the
box.
* * *
Pete Wilson went up to the fifth
inning of the second game with a bat
ting average of an even 1000, which is
something not everyone can boast of.
❖ * *
Reports'from the Longhorn camp is
that they are going to have a strong-
team this year, in fact stronger than
ever. They beat Simmons by the
score of 14-0 but as in other sports
comparative scores do not amount to
as much as the paper they are written
on and especially true is this of base
ball, for in no other sport are upsets
so likely to arise as in this one. Texas
meets us this year and they are going
to find a different kind of baseball
team than they ever faced before. And
again we have the consolation of
knowing that they have no Beb Falk
to put on the mound every other day.
* * *
Something should be done to the
track where it cuts right field as sev
eral men have fallen in going after
fly balls in that territory and it does
not pay to have crippled men on the
team, and then again it tends to make
them shy on going after balls hit into
deep right.
H« * H*
Well, we^ stand at the end of the
week at the top of the bunch with a
1000 percent team average -in the
standings, and it is only for us to keep
up the good work to remain at the
top of the heap.
TENNIS PLAYERS TO
MEET S. M. U. MONDAY
Wilson and Varnell left Sunday for
Dallas where they will represent the
Farmers in a dual tennis tournament
with the Southern Methodist Univer
sity. Wilson and Varnell are both
good handlers of the racquet and if
the trip does not throw them off form
they will come back to us the victors.
They have been training consistently
under the tutorage of Coach Thomas
and are the best that the Farmers
have to offer to followers of tennis.
Why are books your best friends ?
Because when they bore you, you can
shut them up without giving offense.
