Athletics reached home Saturday
night late and after rest over
Sunday will take on the Mexia team
at Jungle park this afternoon, start
ing a series of nine games at home.
The team comes back home in pretty
good shape and there is prospects
OF winning majority of the games.
The players are in better shape to
show their real strength than ever
before. The player list exceeds the
limit by one man but one has been
suspended pending the final adjust
nent of the team.
One of the best things about the
home coming Is that the boys them
selves feel like they are due to win
six games out of the nine, which
viii put Waxahachie well up among
the top~notchers. This afternoon
Poindexter will probably start Com
rere or Chambers, either of whom
ought to turn the trick for a victory.
Chambers developed into a home-run
hitter on the road trip and is credit
ed with winning one of the two
sames they COPIED. Chambers Is a
big strong fellow and has variety
Of curves that prove puzzling wnen

under discussion for years. Mavor Lea

i am in favor of the adjustment
Of the grade crossings in II Paso-
Whether this may be done best by
