Aggie Baseballers Spend
Summer Winning League
The Texas Aggies finished far
down in the Southwest conference
baseball chase last spring but their
two coaches and four players are
about to nail down the state semi-
pro championship this summer.
The Refugio Vets, coached by
Aggie Diamond Mentor Beau Bell,
are currently engaged in a best of
seven series with the Jim Hill Pro
ducers of Fort Worth. Winner will
journey to Wichita, Kans., next
week for a crack at the National
Baseball Congress meet.
Stars of the Vets include Aggie
Sophomore Pitchers Joe Hardgrove
and Jerry Nelson, Catcher Jimmy
Williams, Outfielder Dave Verble
and Shortstop Guy Wallace. Wal
lace, a member of the 1951 South
west conference champs at A&M,
coached the Fish last spring. He
was the leading hitter in the south
ern Texas tournament which the
Refugio team won recently.
The Vets hold a 3-2 edge over
Ft. Worth in the 7-game series
which will be resumed in Sinton
last week, then took one of three
in Ft. Worth this week.
Hardgrove went the route for the
Vets in Tuesday night’s 13-2 victory
over Ft. Worth. The win sent the
Vets out front, three games to two.
Nelson was an all-Southwest
conference hurler as an Aggie
sophomore star last spi'ing.

Sermon On ‘SouF
Presented Sunday
The Lesson - Sermon entitled
“Soul” to be read next Sunday in
Christian Science churches brings
out the special significance of the
word “soul” as used in Christian
Science. Mary Baker Eddy, in ex
planation of this usage, wrote in
“Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures” (p. 482): “Human
thought has adulterated the mean
ing of the word soul through the
hypothesis that soul is both an
evil and a good intelligence, resi
dent in matter. The proper use
of the word soul can always be
gained by substituting the word
God, where the deific meaning is
required. In other cases, use the
word sense, and you will have the
scientific signification.”
First Division
Bid Booted by
Bryan. Majors
The Bryan Majors booted a beau
tiful chance to move into the first
division in the Big State League
when they dropped both ends of a
doubleheader to the Longview Pi
rates yesterday by 6-2 and 3-1
scores.
With a record of 58 wins and 59
losses, the Majors are now firm
ly entrenched in sixth place, nine
games off the pace. Leading the
league is Wichita Falls, with Tyler
in second place, one half game be
hind.
Texarkana is third, two games
away from the top, and Longview
holds down fourth spot, six and one
half games out, then comes Temple
in fifth, one half game ahead of
the Majors. Austin is seventh with
a 13 game deficit and Paris is in
the cellar, 29 games behind.
The Majors wind up a three
game series tonigdit with Longview
then move back to Travis Park Fri
day night for two games with Tem
ple, followed by a three-game ser
ies with Longview. Friday night’s
game will be highlighted by ap
preciation ceremonies honoring
Dick Burnett, owner of the Majors
and the Dallas Eagles, who moved
the club to Bryan.
FAMILY FRIEND — Freckled
David Bailey, 10, of Arlington,
holds a terrapin which his fath
er, James Bailey, when only 17
(in 1938) had found and released
after carving his initials on its
shell. He had found and marked
the terrapin again in 1939 and
in 1941. Young David, spending
the summer with his grandpar
ents on their farm east of Deni
son, found the terrapin while
helping Grandpa Don bring in
the cows.

League Issues Booklet
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Texas Interscholastic
League issued a record book of
sports the other day. It brought
tn avalanche of memories.
The league athletic program is
big now—it takes in six sports.
Back when it started there was on
ly one—track and field. That was
42 years ago.
Tennis was inaugurated in 1914,
football in 1920, basketball in 1921,
baseball in 1948 and golf in 1949.
Two names stand out in the
memories of Texas schoolboy ath
letic feats—Boody Johnson and
Leo Baldwin.
Johnson was the greatest school
boy football player ever to trod a
gridiron. He was the finest drop-
kicker in Texas history, he was a
great runner and g*eat blocker,
great everything.
His most memorial feat was win
ning the 1922 state football cham
pionship for Waco—he kicked two
field goals in the last three minutes
to beat Abilene 13-10.
Best All-Around
Baldwin was the greatest all-
around athlete of all. But his
mightiest performance was in track
—he won the state championship
foi’ Wichita Falls by himself with
23 points. He won four first plac
es and one second.
Under present scoring he would
have made 48 points. In those days
first counted five and second three.
Now first counts 10 and second
eight.
Baldwin was a great football
player, baseball player and basket
ball player. He was good enough
at baseball that a big league club
offered him $2,000 to sign a con
tract. That was big money then
but Baldwin declined.
But, while Baldwin’s feat of 23
—or 48 points in winning the state
championship single-handed was
the finest performance any track
man ever turned in, he was not the
biggest winner in a state track
meet.
Totaled 31 Points
In 1912, when only 110 boys
competed, a youngster named Max-
son of Beaumont won five firsts
and two seconds for 31 points. It
would have been 66 points today.
In Baldwin’s year—1924 — there
were 807 contestants, the largest
number ever to compete in the
state meet.
Basketball, back in the twenties,
was greatly different from today.
For instance, in 1925, Beaumont
won the State championship over
San Antonio by a 14-12 score. Most
any forward or center would make
more than 14 points by himself in
basketball today.
Athens set a record for winning
state championships in basketball
with five titles—in 1927-29-31-33-
34.
They had different eligibility
rules back in the twenties. Fox-
instance, the ti-ack summaries show
that in 1920 Doss Richerson of
Cleburne set a state record in the
discus throw with 125 feet 5
inches then the next year Doss
Richerson of Sherman broke the
record with 139 feet 3 inches.
The tennis results show some
names familiar to the nation’s fans
—Berkeley Bell and Bruce Barnes.
Bell, who became one of the great
est netters of all time, was second
however, in the Texas Interschol
astic League meet in 1924. Barnes
was on the championship doubles
team of 1926.
1920 Missing
The 1920 football playoff is miss
ing—the league couldn’t trace it
down and doesn’t even carry the
final result.
That was the first year of school
boy football and there were no dis
tricts or regions—the teams with
outstanding records were paired for
a state playoff.
For some reason, no reports were
made on these games. But that
was the year Cleburne and Houston
Heights played for the title in the
rain at Austin. It was 0-0 and they
were co-champions.
Illustrating again the difference
in eligibility rules, we played on
the 1921 Hillsboro High School
team with the center of the 1920
Houston Heights team—Earl Short.
This couldn’t happen today.
The 1920 Cleburne team pro
duced some great stories. One of
them showed a keen sense of
sportsmanship. Cleburne was
playing Abilene when the I’eferee
ruled Abilene had fumbled and the
ball was given to Cleburne.
But the Cleburne boys didn’t
think the ruling was correct. * So,
on the next play, Blue Smith and
Curtic Poindexter carried the ball
to the very spot where the fumble
had been ruled and plgced it down.
They strode away and let Abilene
recover the ball.
Stars down the years of hectic
Texas schoolboy football include
W. C. Lynch, Father Lumpkin,
Chris Cortemeglia, Pest Welch,
Seaman Squres, Bobby Wilson, We-
witt Coulter, Charles Leyendecker,
Madison Pruitt, Dan Salkeld, Char
ley Haas, Burl Bufkin, George Wat
ers, Dick Todd, Sam Baugh, Davey
O’Brien, Bobby Layne, Doak Walk
er, John Kimbrough.
Recognize any of these fellows ?
Lumpkin, Welch, Wilson, Coulter
Leyendecker, Baugh, O’B r i e n,
Layne, Walker and Kimbrough
were all-American in college.
Those are just a few that push
through the memories of 33 years
of writing about Texas schoolboy
athletics.
Soviets Vacate
(Continued from Page 1)
it only a few old piston-engined
aircraft to keep.
“Educated guesses” on the rea
sons behind the Soviet evacuation
were ruled out by Allied officers
until more information might be
gathered.
Some of the transferred Soviet
units possibly went to other bases
inside East Germany. Some may
have gone back to Russia on rota
tion, with replacements due here
in the near future.
But the dismantling of Werneu-
chen indicated the Russians are re
ducing the tota(l of their East Ger
man bases, regardless of whether
overall plane strength is affected.
The jet-powered Soviet Air Force
backing up a 300,000-man army on
the Elbe line has been a continual
nightmare to Allied strategists re
sponsible for Europe’s defense.
The Soviet planes are capable of
delivering A-bomb strikes on Lon
don or Paris if the Kremlin has
nuclear explosives it claims.
