ENNIS WINNER
Of FIRST CAME
ED WICKER AND HIS TIGERS cor
FIRST EXHIBITION GAME
FROM THE LOCALS.
TEAM GOOD ENOUGH
Verdict OF the Fans Is That Team l.
Good Enough When They
Have Had Some prac-
tice Work.

Manager Ed Wicker and his bunch
of Tigers from Ennis invaded Yoak
um field Wednesday afternoon, and
with a series OF blood curdling
screams, bounced upon Coles aggre-
cation OF ball players and made
! short work OF them, the score being
| and 3 at the end of the ninth in
ming The battle was fast and furi-
! Gus for the first few innings with
| odds in favor OF the locals, but ere
| tho game had gone a full six innings
| the seasoned condition OF the WISH
tors began to tell and they forged
/ ahead with winning score, and held
the locals down throughout the re-
mainder of the game It was an in
| teresting battle throughout because
the teams we're so evenly matched
and those who attended felt that they
got their moneys worth.
While WaXahachie fans would
have welcomed victory the exhibit
| tion game has served a good and use
ful purpose. II gave the fans a line
ca the players for the league season
which opens Monday OF next week.
Il also gave Manager Cole an OPP
portunity to see his men in action
with spirited opposition Notwith-
standing the fact that the game was
lost the general verdict today is that
1.-THE bunch will do" That does not
necessarily mean that the work of
each and every player was entirely
satisfactory, but 1t means that Cole
already has many good men signed
With this nucleus around when to
build a team there Is little doubt but
that Waxahaehie will make a moot
credible showing. Ii Is true some
OF players did not show UP to any

advantage, but it is seldom that such

advantage, but it is seldom that such
is the case in preseason games.
In commenting upon the individu-
al work OF the players We must say
that Lester was an easy favorite. Ia
fact the utfieId is great Out OF
five times up Lester got Two hits,
made it to first on choice twice and
Was walked once. He was left on
bases four times, being caught at
Bird once when trying to fitch an eX-
ira base. Lester il strong with the
fans and is sure to stick, He accept
cd every chance, fielding the hall
fast As a base runner he is a secona
"Tyrus." Wren in center field was
likewise Il very useful man. He is
fast and played an errorleas game.
OF OF four times up he sacrificed
twice, flew to outfield AID beat out
an infield hit Jordan was up four
times and managed to connect with
the bail every time, netting one hit.
Jordan is fast and is sure TO make a
most valuable man.
The iafieid played good ball with
Green, Warner and Cole scoring the
three runs made during the game.
Green at short had one error to his
credit, which accounted for the
score oy Ennis in the first inning.
This younester is fast and fields we'll.
! The position in which he stands when
| batting is odd, and, although he got
away with hit and a score, his
stick work could be improved Cor
| don is credited with two errors and
| failed to get hit. This third sack
! q played a good game last season
and better work is expected from
him when he has time TO train off
some of his surplus flesh. Gordon
is expected to show UP well in time
Warner at LIST played a fair game
! Out of three times up he connected
with the bali each time and was safe
on fielder's choice, scoring on plays
/ that followed. Warner was relieved
| b. Crockett, who plays a good game
! Crockett held the initial bag all last
season and is popular with the fans
Cole at End base showed plenty OF
