TEXAS COUNTING ON
SAN ANTONIO BOY TO
PLAY END REGULARLY
Pfannkuche One Of Feu
Promising Shorthorns;
Schuhordf Develops.

Henry Pfannkuche of San Antonio,
former Tulane University emu and
this season second-year man mt
Texas University, is one of the ex-
perienced players Coach doc Stew
art is counting on for his 1873 Long
horns, according TO word from Aus
tin. Stewart has called in advisors
who have sized up the situation and
has found that there is no over
abundance of star material from the
ineligible squad of last fall, but he
hopes to develop at least three men
into regulars.
These players are Pfannkuche, Fur
man and "Blue" Smith.
Pfannkuche is a fine end. big
fellow and fast on his feet. De-
fensively, he is ms good as they come.
and can acceptably fill in at center
or at other positions in the line:
Pfannkuche played both center and
end on the Shorthorns, as the in
eligibles are called. last year.
Furman was placed on the Long
horn squad toward the end OF last
season and showed promise of develop
ing into a first-string man.
"Blue" Smith was the outstanding
star Of the freshman team in 1J2l
and a member of last years Short
horns. and will be eligible this year
for varsity. He is a halfback and
a fine broken field runner.
Texas will have a wealth OF back
field material with Smith, Captain
Tynes. Bobbie Robertson, Vernon
Schuhardt and others 10 draw from.
Schuhardt, San Antonian, showed
signs last season of coming fast and
stands better than an even chance Of
becoming member Of the regular

JAKE ATZ TELLS OF
TRICK HE WAS ABOUT
TO TRY IN BEAUMONT
Fort Worth Skipper Tempt
ed to Prove 1t Was Too
Dark to Play.

Fort Worth recently had an argu-
ment in Beaumont over calling a game
because of darkness. Jake Atz, the
Cats manager says he was tempted
to try an old trick to prove to all
concerned that it was too dark to play.
What old trick" Jake was asked.
Let me tell you the story" said
Jake.
1T was getting dark, very dark,
but the umpire had resolved that a
decision must be reached in the game,
the manager whose team trailed was
willing 20 go as long as anybody
would stay in the stands and the fans
were resdy to stay in the stands as
long as anybody remained on the field.
"A visiting batsman swung blindly
and connected for a two-base hit. Two
were out. But mighty swatter was
next IN. He missed the first pitch
badly The same for the second. Then
he got cagey. He waited and the UNI
pire called the next three balls.
"The catcher and the pitcher stalled
around. They held an agitated con-
ference near the pitchers box.
His position resumed, the pitcher
wound IN and made sweeping fol-
low-through. The batter stood stock
still. There was n thud in the
catcher's glove.
Yer out! yelled the umpire.
The batter wheeled.
$50 you call that a strike, do yuh
he Missed.
Right down the alley" barked the
arbiter.
" You're liar, yelled the batter.
1t was a mile high and outside
"And the pitcher and the catcher
grinned at each other in the gloom,
for the catcher had the ball all the
time and it had never crossed the
plate at ALL"

UNUSUAL NUMBER OF
CLOSE RACES THIS
SUMMER IN MINORS
St. Paul-Kansas City Fight
in Association Is a
Feature.
Nv John Ii. FOSTER,

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. S.-The minor
leagues this season are putting on
some Of the closest races in baseball
history. The st. Paul and Kansas
City teams OF the American Associa-
ton seemed TO have established the
precedent. They have been going necl;
and neck all year, with st. Paul hold
ing the lead in the last few weeks.
The Nebraska State League had n
recent afternoon in which there were
only > points between the first club
and the tail-ender. If the big leaguers
could stage a race like that, they prob
ably would be beside themselves with
self -admira ton. And they would be
entitled to be chesty, because that
kind of race would be an omen of the
baseball millennium.
The Kitty League, down in Ken
lucky. had three clubs treading on
each others toes to get peep Ut the
top of the ladder.
For a while. the Southern Asso-
citation had three or four clubs NIB
leans now has an advantage that VIII
carry that team through.
The Pacific Coast League has been
runaway for San Francisco, how
ever. the team in that city never hav-
ing been in real danger.
Orlando has won the championship
of Florida. being the first champion
of the season to come safely through.
Dubuque has the Mississippi Valley
championship on ice. In the Vir-
ginia League, Richmond, Wilson and
Norfolk were tied one day recently
with winning percentage of $50.
Rochester had chance TO win from
Baltimore in the International. but u
looks now as though Baltimore will
take home the bacon.
News comes up from Cuba that
Havana fans are preparing to bestow
upon Luque. the Cincinnati Reds
pitcher. all the stray orders that are
running loose on the island. \ cele-
bration which probably will last near
" two weeks and will be full of fes-
tivities is awaiting him. "Luque is
the greatest of Cuban ball players. -"
wires an enthusiastic sports writer.
"Please cable all his records to date
since he has been in the National
League. They are TO be engrossed." "
Out in the Three-I League. play
ing with Danville. there is n third
baseman named Rice of whom the boss
of the Three-Eyes writes that he has
not seen n more prepossessing ball
player in twenty years. Scouts need
rot prick II? their ears, however, for
this rare bird belongs TO the st.
T.Ouis Americans. Rice leads the
league in just about everything from
batting to base-running and fielding.
On paper it looks as If the Browns
hot corner was pretty well taken care

Every season is a good season for
old Jimmy Brought. and he seems to
90 on forever rs a star pitcher. "The
general" as the Alamo-Peck Indian
fans got to call him this summer, has
been winning ball games with his
head and his left arm for too many
years to count. He won them before
the war. he won them in the army on
this side and in France and he's been
winning them ever since the war He
has twirled the 18th Field ARTILLERY
TO n string of championships and has
them tied for the Fort Sam Houston

was a close one.

Schalk. Hal Chase was playing first
base for Chicago at the time. Chase
was perhaps the greatest throwing
first-baseman in the history of the
game. No play seemed too difficult for
him. Unless | am mistaken. Johnny
Tobin was on first. The batter laid
down a bunt which our third-baseman

Reared together in their home fer
back in the mountains, working
shoulder to shoulder in the fields and
sharing together the joys of home
beneath the parental roof, no
thought had ever come to them of
the parting which cuines to all SOON

OF the departing brother, they kissed
HIM affectionately while great tears
rolled down their bronzed cheeks
and with tear-dimmed eyes these
two stalwart young men watched the
train disappear far out across the
desert. Eagerly they watched the
receding train till it became a speck
in the distance, then fondly embrace
ing each other they turned their sad
dened hearts toward their mountain
