game but having been taken out al
the close of the second frame after
six members Of the opposing team
had crossed the home plate. He was
succeeded by Hicks, who yielded one
run in the fourth, after which his
twirling became so effective that
scoring on the part of the members
of the opposing team ceased.
In justice to Mosley, however, il
must be said that the runs secured
while he was in the box did not re-
suit as much from ineffective pitch
ing on his part as from the poor sup
port in the. field, 1t seems that
Mosley's teammates have never Civ
en- him as efficient support as they
have given other twirlers, and this
not only on Friday but on previous
occasions as well, has enabled mem
bers of opposing teams to score
heavily while he was in the box
Pepper was on the mound for the
"Aggies' and pitched effectively,
having yielded by six bingles.
That the hitting was heavy is
shown by the official score, which

town location from September Fl to rs
state fair week-according to an an
nouncement today by Secretary Leroy
M. Gibbs of the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Chamber is planning
to obtain prices of rooms from the
various hotels and rooming houses OF
the city. These prices will be printed
and distributed to state fair visitors,
who will then be enabled TO obtain
rooms at the prices they wish TO pay
This publication of prices also will
have a tendency TO prevent "prOilteer-
ing" on the part of a few hotel and
rooming house proprietors who in the
past have taken advantage of state fair
crowds to raise their prices.
SO conPestcd is the city during state
fair week that many persons have dit
ficulty in finding room at any price,
and to take care OF this overflow the
Chamber of Commerce is planning TO
list vacant furnished rooms and apaN-
mepts in the residence district. Listing
Of these rooms is expected to begin
about a week previous to the state fair.
The question of the location Of the
information booth will be taken up by
the directors of the Chamber Of Com
merce at their regular weekly meeting
next Thursday. A bungalow was built
on the present site of the War Savings
bank last year to care for the needs
of state fair visitors.
