AGGIES WIN THE FIRST
CONFERENCE SERIES

ing Adams and Fisher. Walker at
tempted to sacrifice but Forgason
threw Adams out at third. (Nice
baseball). Locke singled, Hale
doubled, Bloxom singled and four
runs had trickled over the platter. The
Aggies tallied again in the third when
Puckett drove out a homer with Wil
liams on the bags ahead of him. In
the fourth the big boys cut loose and
the Aggies carried off the bacon. Six
hits, including Johnson’s second home
run, brought in seven runs. The Far
mers continued the savage attack and
in the sixth Swartz took over the
throwing for the Owls. He managed
to get by but the Aggies tallied 23
hits and 25 runs before the slaughter
was over.

Boy howdy, as Pop Boone says.
Those are the kind of all games that
I like to watch ut hate to score. That
second was a peach to my way of
thinking. The only thing I hated
was seeing Rice get those nine runs.
The more we eat ’em the easier
they’ll be next time. Up and at ’em
gang.

That second home run of Pud
Johnson’s was one of the longest ever
hit on Kyle field. One time, so tradi
tion says, Bib Falk bounced one over
the right field wall and Dame Rumor
whispers that Tink Reviere and Four
nier, playing exhibition games hit
real sure enough fly balls over it.
Last year Country Williamson socked
one a far piece, but that one of Pud’s
is the futherest I’ve ever seen.

Spring training starts Monday so
Mr. Bible says. About fifty men will
be called out and these will be select
ed from the men who will return
from the Varsity squad, the fresh
men stars, and the inter-Battalion
hopefuls.

See we have lots of grandstand
umpires with us this year. Let’s start
right this year gang. We have an
umpire out there in the middle of the
diamond that has been looking ’em
over for a number of years, he is ab
solutely impartial, and he is in a
much better position to see the play
than we are. Don’t you suppose that
if the plays could be seen better in
the grandstand than on the playing
field, that umpires would sit up there
where it is cool instead of running
around out there in the heat and
dirt? Sure they would. Griping at
an umps decision will hurt us more
than it will do good, so let’s let the
poor fellow earn his money in peace.
You did pretty nicely in the Rice
series and let’s keep it up.

One of my fellow helpers said he
had something that I could ride the
Texas guys about this week but he
forgot to tell me, so I’ll have to let
them off this time. Maybe I can got
