Thacker Strong

Thus far, however, the Grand av-
enue boys have not encountered a COL
lege pitcher who is the equal of
Thacker, the Highland park twirler
and just what they will be able to do
with the latter's assortment cannot be
foretold.
Both teams use the hit and run
game though the Saints have been
longer at the trick and go about it in
more effective manner. 1t was no.
ticeable that when the Highlanders hit
and ran in the university game the
base runners did not secure sufficient
lead before the bunt was effected.
With Shaeffer at third for the Saints
the Highlanders will doubtless expert
ence difficulty in bringing a man from
third unless the play is brought off in
clever style. On the other hand, Hag-
gerty's men are old hands at the bunt-
ing end, and as a rule have sent op-
posing teams into the air.
In Thacker the Saints will probably
meet the hardest boxman they have
been up against during the past two
years. During the university game he
succeeded in striking out fourteen of
the opposing nine. though the latter
evinced disposition to rap at every
thing that came across the plate.

.COLLEG|ANS WILL
MEET ON DIAMOND
OCCIDENTAL AND ST. VIM
CENTS TO PLAY
Fast Contest Is Anticipated Between
Rival College Mines When High
Ianders and Saints Clash
Tomorrow

In the history of Southern California
baseball during the past few years no
greater interest has been centered
about college game than that which
attends the contest scheduled to occur
on the st. Vincent diamond tomorrow
afternoon between the nine of that
institution and the Occidental college
team. Until last season the Vincen-
tians had not lost a game in four
years, and when they last met with
defeat it was to the Highlanders, who
figured as victors in one contest of
the series of three.
So far during the present season the
Occidentals and the Saints have won
both of their games. Each team met
and defeated the diamond aggregations
Of U. S. c. and Pomona. BY one run
only did the Saints nose out the uni
versity men. With a score of 10 to 2
they vanquished the Claremont team.
Occidental managed to win from the
Pomonans by the close score of 81,
while they bested the varsity nine
1916. So far as can be judged, the
Saints appear to have the heavier bat
ting aggregation, and in this they
possess an advantage over Coach Mer-
rillS men.

but said that he'd give him three
months in Jail the first time a COM

MISSOURI

We have heard from old Missouri and
our heart is light and gay;
She is once more democratic clean
from Pike to Nodaway,
And we hear the rOosters growing in
a loud and lusty tone
While the echoes are resounding all
the way from Polk to Stone.
We have heard from old Missouri and
she's back again in line,
And our heart is filled with rapture
and we're feeling mighty fine.
We have heard from old Missouri
and we're feeling good today.
She has turned about in gladncss
from the error of her way.
She has shouted out the tidinys that
she'll never err again,
And we hear the echoes rolling all
the way from Cass to Wayne.
We have heard from old Missouri;
she's again within the ranks
And our cup OF JOY brims over and
our heart is full of thanks.
We have heard from old Missouri ana
the news was full OF joy
Still the old states democratic
that's the truth without alloy.
Clear from AtchisOn to Butler and
then back again to Rails
Comes the word that she is ready
when the voice of duty calls.
We have heard from old Missouri;
she is standing staunch and true
And the sun of hope is shining in a
sky that's fair and blue
