BEATEN At THEIR
OWN CAME
A. & NJ. Professors too
Much for Seniors Even
Out of Class Room.

The professors beat the boys at their
own game.
In the wind up of the year the fac
ulty of the A. & M. college still prove
to be too much for the seniors. They
proved that yesterday afternoon by
defeating the '04's in a most exciting
game of baseball on the Athletic held
by only a narrow margin of one run
Score II to 10.
The game started off in professional
style-three up and three down, and
it was not until the third time up that
the seniors scored the first runs of the
game.
A large crowd of spectators We're
out All three female schools were
we'll represented, the Peace girls be-
ing in the majority.
Time after time grand stand plays
were made that were never equalled
on the diamond, and they were not
accidents.
For the faculty team the playing OF
Roberts, Mcclellan, Burketts home
run that scored two men, and Glenn's
slide for third base and two base hit,
coupled with Gathers homer to
deep centre and two Dagger to left
field, Morson's work at centre ana
Richardson's two Dagger for the SEN
iors. were the features Of the day.
1t was not until the third inning
that ANYBODY could score. This the
seniors did first Gather started up
the chase with a pretty two base mt
to left field Harding was safe on hrst
on error, and while Gather was hang
ing off third the pitcher threw bad
bail to the baSeman, who failed 10
stop it and Gather scored. Gully sac

nailed a two base hit to left field and
scored Patton. Richardson added
another run on high throw to third.

Bragg got to first on bad throw by
shortstOp and stole second and thlrd,
then scored on passed pail. In the
fifth they scored another run. Haskell
reached first bag and stole second ana
third, scoring on error of first base
man. The sixth Melted two more for
the steady team for the faculty after
two men were down and two strikes on
Batter Burkett, when he swayed at
the sphere and placed it into deep cen
ire, allowing him plenty OF time TO
chase his shadow around the bags.
Wilson was lucky and got to first and
scored after stealing second and third
The seventh inning was lucky for
the seniors. Gather, not satisfied
with his previous two Dagger, but
crowned it with a four Dagger TO
centre and scored Bagwell, who was
hit previously by pitched ball. Not
only was lucky seven good for the
naughty fours but it was too good, Tor
the high officials who marked up six
"circles" Mcclellan, first up, singled

a single to left; sherman was safe on
first. while Mcclellan scored; Burkett
singled to centre and Roberts scored;
Wilson also hit the senior slab artist
for a single and Sherman and Burkett
crossed home plate. While Glenn was
taking claim on first base Wilson spir-
tied into home, and after Glenn had
stolen two bases, he too scored net
ting six runs. The seniors tried to
climb over the facultys head, but
were not able to win out. In the
eighth two more runs were scored on
error and two singles. In this inning
Il pretty catch was made by Wilson,
who took it red hot off McKimmon's
bat without moving his body. Roberts
singled to left field and scored on Bur-
ketts single.
