FARMERS LOST TO 7. c. j.
IN FIRST GAME, 4 To |
Heavy Hitting Of Christians on A.
and M. Campus Knocked Recruit
Pitcher Out Of Box.

Texas Christian University defeated
the Farmers yesterday afternoon in
fast game of baseball at Kyle Field by
score OF 4 to /. Lowe, the Chris
tians great twirler, had the Farmers
at his mercy the entire game and only
in the fifth round did he give up any
hits, the Farmers getting two clean
singles in that inning, putting their
only run across the pan. The Chris
tians took advantage of the Farmers
misplays in the first inning and scored
three runs.
Moran sent Ayers, a recruit, against
the heavy hitting Christians, and he
only lasted one round. II is true that
they only got one single during that
round, but he was wild and could not
locate the plate. On walk, a wild
heave, two errors by Bruton and
Brailsford, hit and perfectly ex-
ecuted squeeze play, the Christians
succeeded in getting three men across
the pan and winning the game. Again
in the fourth Wright let one get by
him in left field which went for two
bases. and the next man up connected
for clean single, giving the Chris
tians another run and the last OF the
game. Only twelve men faced Lowe
in the first four innings, but in the

fifth two hits, coupled with passed
ball. allowed the Farmers their only
run.
Again in the sixth the Farmers
threatened to score. Wright lived on
Parks error, was sacrificed to second,
stole third and was out on very
doubtful decision on an attempt to
steal home.
Both Lowe and Miller pitched splen-
did ball, and aside from the first in
ming both received excellent support.
T. c. U. showed splendid team work,
and are a fast bunch OF ball players.
OF the Farmers, Russell's catching
and Beringer's playing at first were
the features, especially Beringer, who
showed splendid form.

HOW TO TEST BRICK CLAY.

Editor Bryan Eagle:
In selecting clay for brickmaking'
that which contains the least amount
of lime is preferable. For testing pour
some aqua forts on 1t and 1t will foam

Hunt up your clay land and make a

rapidly becoming the largest produc-

According to the complaint of the
plaintiffs, Mrs. Nelson bought a ticket
over the Great Northern line from
Everett to Tolt, via Monroe, where n
change of ears was to be made. Ar.
irving at Monroe, Mrs. Nelson was in
formed that the train to Tolt would
leave at p. m. that day. She went to
a store and talked to persons at Tolt bv
long distance telephone, and, returning
to the Monroe depot, found it locked.
Then, according to the allegations of
Mrs. Nelson, Thorne, an engineer on the
train running from Monroe to Tolt in.
vited her to enter one of the coaches
Of the train, as the depot was locked,
and rest there until time of train de.
parture. This she did.
Mrs. Nelson claims that while seated
in the car Thorne entered and sat be-
side her, and then she alleges he as
saulted her by hugging and kissing her
against her will, and that finally she
fled from him and from the ear, in the
struggle to escape tearing some furs
about her shoulders and the collar Of
her coat.

The Markets

The demand for old hops is stronger
and prices show slight advance. Re-
ports from all hop-growing sections in
dicate that prices will be somewhat
higher, though there is still time for
conditions to change. Wheat is dull
and prices unchanged. Fruit receipts
have been light, but the market is well
supplied, the cool and changeable
weather reducing the demand. Country
produce is in demand and prices strong.
Eggs are in demand, the market being
somewhat shy. Prices along all lines,
however, show but little, if any change

Little BObbie's Pa

oN' 'u VIII JHlS DOOh Oh
verse, sed Ma to Pa last mite, want
you to read it too. l paid only dollar
" a half for it on Pacific avenue, Ma
sed, & considering the fack that it is
the first work of new poet, 1 think I
got it very cheep.
] doant think the first work of anv
new poet is worth a dollar & a half,
Ia sed. Thare was a time, Pa sed, wen
| would have paid almost any price
for a good book, but owing to the pres
ent high cost of living things is differ
ent' The way l look at it now, Pa sed,
dollar & a half may not be much, but
it is fifteen cool glasses of lager or
five pounds of good sub-stanshul steak.
Who is the young nut that they are
calling a new poet2 sed Pa.
His naim is Orland La Tosca, sed
Ma, His hoam is in Californy G. he
newer went to college oreeven a
high school. Him & his parents lived
out among the redwood trees, Ma sed,
X they was too poor to give him much
educashun. But the boy cuddent be
stopped. His Wunderful geenyus as
serted itself wen he was only sixteen.
Jest lissen to this, one of his vary
first poems, 1t is called Sunrise, & I
think it is simply divine. Lissen:
First comes a flush of pink so nearly
white
That color seems a hint alone. Then
comes
\ bol'r lint, as though the god of
dawn
Were flushing with some ungOvernable
rage.
A dew-damp bird sings in a gnarled
tree
And then the morning dawns all glori-
fled.
Was that one of the first things he
wrote2 sed Pa.
1t was one of the vary first things,
sed Ma.
Oh, I doant know, sed Pa. I am a
whole lot prOuder of littel Bobbie than
I wud be of any almOst-poet 1 doant
think much of the piece you jest red,
sed Pa. "Dew-damp bird" sed Pa.
Ha, Ha, that must have ben sum bird,
1 have heard of cold birds g. hot birds,
Pa sed, & have herd of wise birds &
gay birds, but 1 doant think I wud
now what to say to a dew.damp bird
if / was introduced to one.
Oh, doant try to be cunning, sed Ma.
You know rite down in yure heart
that the poem 1 jest red to you is sure
to be immortal.
Immortal rats, sed Pa. 1t is moth
ing but bunch of junk. I guess thare
must have been at leest ten thousand
poems ritten about sunrise, sed Pa,
moast of them by peepul that didn't
know enuff to get up in time to see a
regular sunrise, & all of them poems
sed the same thing, sed Pa, about the
first tint of dawn steeling into the
sky & about bird singing. Why cant
a bird sing onst in a while without a
poet beeing its press agent, Pa sed.
Reed me sum moar of those dethless
poems, sed Pa, / want to git he'd AXE.
Then lissen to this dainty littel love
ballad, sed Ma.
Arabella, Arabella,
lightly through the meadow
Where the sunset throws its shadow
How l love to watch the meeting
When your lips the sun is greeting.
Sweetest nymph that ever walked here,
LOveliest sprite that ever talked here,
How I long to be yure fellow,
Arabella!
Whoa, sed Pa, that will do. I have
my he'd axe now, Pa sed, & you wont
have to reed any moar to me tonite
I see McGraw's men are getting into
thare reglar form, BObbie.
