Sports Aplenty
They Call
It Baseball
By GARY SHERER
, in the year 1839, a man
up with an idea that has
Back in Cooperstown, N. Y
named Abner Doubleday came
evolved into our national pastime.
Yes, I can see you all jumping' up and down saying,
“I know, I know.” You’re right! Baseball is to what
we’re referring.
But what if I had said “rounders” or “pitch and bat”
“one old cat” or“ two old cat” or even “three old cat?”
Would you still be ready to answer?
Baseball, perhaps more than any other sporting event,
has acquired many nicknames as well as slang terms when
talking about the action or players of the game.
Being a lover of contests, I have decided to create a
baseball game in a typical major-league town with a list
of baseball immortals playing and give the action of the
game.
I will give you a hint. The game will be a mock All-
Star bame between the National League and the American
League. You must guess what the terms used, really mean.
I will describe the scene of action, the action, the play
ers involved and use slang or nicknames when referring to
the facts or players.
Here is the scene: The city of brotherly love is the
site of the game. The field at which the game is being
played is named for the “grand old man of baseball.” The
senior circuit is at bat and the junior league is in the field.
It is the third inning and two junior league “miscuses”
have led to two “tallies” for the senior circuit.
At bat for the senior circuit is “Little Poison.” But
first lets set the defense for the junior league.
On the mound is the “Big Train.” Catching is a man
named “Yogi.” At first base is “Larrupin Lou.” At the
“keystone sack” is “Ripper.” Shortstop is manned by a
little fellow named “Scooter” while at the “hot corner” is
a “triple crown” winner named “Flip.”
In the “sun pasture” is “The Georgia Peach.” In
center is “Jolting Joe” and in right is the “Sultan of Swat.”
For the senior circuit, “Little Poison” leaders off and
play the “sun pasture.” Batting second is “Big Poison”
in right. The “Say Hey Kid” is in center batting third.
In the “cleanup” spot is the shortstop, “The Flying Dutch
man,” while the next “sticker” is “The Man” at first base.
“The Wild Horse of The Osage” is the sixth “swinger”
at the “hot corner.” “The Brat” is at the “keystone sack”
batting seventh and catching is a player from the senior cir
cuit’s windy city team named “Gabby.” The “chucker”
for the senior circuit is “Ole Diz.”
Now, back to the action. “Little Poison” belts a
“looping liner” up the “alley,” all the way to the 375-
foot sign. “Jolting Joe” races over and picks up the “pill”
and “tosses the horsehide” into the “Scooter” who is the
“relay man.”
“Big Poison” then “whiffs” and “The Say Hey Kid”
then “smacks” a “dipsy-doodle” pitch over the “sun pas
ture” wall for a “round-tripper” and two ribbies.”
At this point, after the “gopher ball” pitch, the “Big
Train” is sent to the “showers” and the “fireman” is a
“hurler” named “Rapid Robert.”
“Rapid Robert” gets “The Flying Dutchman” to “sky”
to center and “The Man” “pops” to the first-sacker. This
ends the senior circuit’s half of the third and the players
“trot” off the field in preparation for the top of the fourth.
The junior league fourth sees the team “retired” in
“one-two-three order.” The “stanza” started off with a
“grass-cutter” off the “lumber” of the “Sultan of Swat.”
“The Brat,” “booted” the “apple” but was able to “peg
out the runner.”
“Flip” lifted a “pan of corn” to center and the “Say
Hey Kid” made a “basket catch.” The “side was retired”
when “Yogi,” “lined” to the “keystone sacker.”
That completes the contest entries.
If you can name the players and the action, please
send in your answers to me in care of the paper. Hurry.
Be the first kid on your block to get them all right.
First prize will be a season’s ticket to watch the
Corps march to evening chow. Second prize is a pair of
flesh-colored socks and third prize is an end zone seat for
all Aggie home football games.
A special booby prize will be the original “Year of the
Horns” bumper sticker.
The answers will be printed in an upcoming issue of
The Battalion.

HOUSTON bP)—The Univer
sity of Houston and University
of Texas square off here Tuesday
for the first game of a best-of-
three NCAA Dist. 6 baseball
playoff series, it was announced
Thursday.
Texas, with a 16-9 record,
moved into the playoff spot after
tying Texas Christian for the
Southwest Conference title.
Houston, coached by Lovette
Hill, finished the season with a
16-8 record, including a victory
over Oklahoma State, 1966
NCAA runner-up.
Texas Coach Bibb Falk, who
will retire July 1, will be leading
the Longhorns in their 15th ap
pearance in the NCAA playoffs.
Two pitchers named Moore
will oppose each other in the se
ries opener. Houston’s Carroll
Moore, who posed a 3-1 record
and 1.25 earned run average, will
face Tommy Moore, who had an
8-9 season record and a 1.84
ERA.
Tommy Moore was selected the
Associated Press’ pitcher of the
year in the Southwest Confer
ence and was all-conference.

opener will be played Wednes
day. The teams will play Thurs
day and Friday in Austin.
This year’s playoffs mark the
fourth time the Longhorns and
the Cougars have opposed each
other in post-season action. Tex
as beat Houston in 1958, but
Houston won in 1960.

a double header from the Cou
gars to qualify for the NCAA

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest
factor on earth for the building
of character and good citizen
ship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democ
racy nor civilization can sur
vive. There are four sound
reasons why every person
should attend services regu
larly and support the Church.
They are: (1) For his own
sake. (2) For his children’s
sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and
material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read
your Bible daily.

Customs may differ among the races
and may change with the times, but certain
institutions in human life have remained
constant through the centuries. One of
these is Motherhood.
Progress has given Mother new methods
and new equipment for her age-old re
sponsibilities. But the love and understand
ing which are the heart of Motherhood
have never depended on science for their
expression.
One unchanging sphere of material re
sponsibility has been the religious develop-
^ ment of children. From primitive tribal
religions up to Christianity, mothers have
guided and encouraged the growth of each
successive generation in spiritual faith.
The Christian Church salutes all faith
ful mothers. They have led their families
to an ever deepening realization of the
sacred bond which unites the Church and
the Home in a common devotion to Jesus
Christ.
