Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boost."
Hecox an author.

Clarence Hecox. football coach at
Tech High, baseball coach. oarsman,
and teacher, Is now m a new branch,
having written a book on machine shop
practice. which has just been accepted
by the schools here as an authority on
the subject.
In the book. Mr.. Hecox has combined
the experience of a teacher with that
of skilled workman, and. judging by
the manner in which the volume has al
ready taken hold thus far, It should
prove a most valuable investment.
The book is in such concise form that
1t is especially pleasing to the students
and will probably continue to be used
here for a long time.

The exhibition game played between

overwhelming victory for the former.
In fact. the runs. hits. and errors came
so fast that the fans gave it up, count

The lineup of the scrub team included

ToDAY-No game; open date.
The inability of the Baltimore and
Ohio team to place more than seven
men on the field yesterday gave the
game to the Car Department. This Is
the first forfeit game that has occurred
since the formation OF the new league.
The patrons of this league have al
ready begun to look forward to the
next meeting of the two leaders on
Wednesday. This game should draw a
large crowd, as there is a great rivalry
among the two teams, and the games
that they have played before have
proven to be the best seen in the
league.
1t is the opinion of many of the spec
tators at the games that If Manager
Nolan, of the Union Station team, would
not shift his players about so often.
To watch this team in practice, one
would be led to believe that It was one
Of the winners. but they do not seem to
be able to play together, and probably
for this reason more than eny other
they are in last place.
The second attempt of Wall at pitch
ing for the Baltimore and Ohio was not
as successful as his first The surprise
that he gave to the Southcrners last
week led many to think that a better
game could be expected from the team
team was not good. and he himself al
lowed three runs to be scored by his
neglect in delivering the oall to the
catcher.

this by TRIPPING and singing his next
