Three Aggies Sign Contracts
A&M’s sparkling 1 Southwest Con
ference championship battery has
signed professional contracts with
three rival National League teams.
Jerry Nelson, 21-year-old right
hander from Beaumont, signed with
the Milwaukee Braves for $4,000,
and has been assigned to Toledo
of the Triple A American Associa
tion. The $4,000 is the limit he
could receive without making him
a bonus player. Nelson joined the
team last Friday.
Also reeciving a $4,000 induce
ment was lefthander Joe Hard-
grove, the ace moundsman of the
Aggies this year. Hardgi*ove sign
ed his contract with the New York
Giants, and was assigned to
Wilkes-Barre in the Class A East
ern league. He joined the team
this week.

Aggies, Jimmy Williams, 20-year-

bonus. Williams, who never missed
an inning in two and a half years
of college ball, is assigned to Allen
town in the same league as Hard-
grove.
Nelson had 10 major league
scouts bidding for his services, and
chose Milwaukee as the team he
“personally thought would help him
most.”

Williams has been described by
many observers as a “major league
catcher, defensively.” Although a
light hitter, he has a very good
arm, and never had a base runner
steal on him during his varsity
career at A&M.

Stonewall Jackson
Has Admirer
RICHMOND, Va.—(A 3 )—A phone
call caught Mayor Thomas Bryan
munching a late bedtime snack.
“Claggett, Ontario, calling Mayor
Bryan,” said the long distance oper
ator.
“This the governor of Virginia?”
the caller asked. “No? Oh, the
mayor of Richmond. You’ll do just
fine . . . I’ve just been reading
about a man you have down there—
Stonewall Jackson. I certainly ad
mire the way he marched his men
and fought . . . You’re doing a good
job down there.”
Bryan never did find the identity
of his Canadian caller. He agreed,
though, that Stonewall Jackson was
a fine Confederate general 90 years
ago.

Several summer bowling leagues

The College Station-Bryan Asso

thering the interest of bowling.
The Association started with 40

sibly two mixed doubles leagues
sanctioned for the 1955-56 year.
Officers of the Association serve
from August 1 to July 31 each
bowling season. Marvin H. But
ler of the A&M Economics Depart
ment was the fii’st president of the
local group. Officers for the 1955-
56 year are Walter G. Mead, presi
dent; Walter M. Heritage, vice-
president; and John Redden, secre
tary-treasurer.
The Association had two teams
in 1954 and three in 1955 parti
cipating in the ABC state tourna
ment. The Park Cleaners team of
College Station finished 14th in the
Class B team event, and the Ottea

dents also finished high in class C
team event in the 1955 state tour
nament at Houston.

bership of 60.
Officers for the women this year
are Mary Ann Karnes, president;
Margie Thompson, vice-president;

and Alberta Gruber, sergeant-at-
arms. Mrs. Dorothy Moore, who

ficers Wives League, which was
sanctioned for 1954-55, sent one
team to the state WIBC tourna
ment in Dallas this spring.

tions are interested in encouraging
