Both players will be farmed out to Rochester of the International Loop, a Card farm club. The loss of Beesley further weakened the already shorthand- ed Aggie mound staff. He was expected to be the mainstay ofi. the Cadet pitching corps this season. The right hander was the top Aggie hurier last year until he hurt his arm. However, Bees ley stated {hat the wing felt much better this year and the Card scouts believe he can hold his own in faster company. The absence of Hollmig .will leave a big hole for Coach Marty Karow to till in left field. The Hondo slugger led conference hitters in the home run department last sea- , son and throw* with deadly ac curacy. Hollmig can also handle mound duties. : When asked: why he was leav ing Stan answered, “A&M coul$l not match the St. Louis offer.” Under a new conterence ruling, collegiate players must have the approval: of their school before the professional teams will hire them. A&M’s approval was given yester- I clay at the meeting of the Athletic Council. j • f I - 1 Silver Taps will be observed’to night for Coach Marty Karbw.
