Breckenridge followers are pinning
their hopes TO Glenn Tillinghast, a
youngster equipped with pair OF
steel-spring legs, who was high point
man last Saturday in meet that
breckenridge lost at San Marcos
through his ability in the jumps.
The unusual speed of Leroy Gum
is expected to give Main High the
dash events, and Hubert Davis is
touted TO take the hurdles for the
North Siders.
From the dope. Main High seems
strong in the track events and Brack-
enridge figures on piling up a win
ming margin in the field tests. Main
is better equipped from the stand
point of numbers.
Following are the teams:

Lawrence Urban and Jack Tolar. for

And Lybrand did more than that; he
connected with two clean hits, one of
them for two bases.
Hack" Miller, the strongest man in
baseball, son of Sebastian the strong
man. who used TO tour with Barnum
and Bailey. led the Cubs with the
ash. He singled. doubled and tripled
in three times at bat, and every hit
was solid, distance-covering smash.
"Jigger" Statz and "Shorty" Adams
each landed on the ball three times
safely and Grantham, the rather light
hitting recruit secondsacker, collected
brace of blows.
Galloway and Booze each laced out
brace of Bruin bingles, figuring in
the scoring each time.
There were several startling fielding
plays. Miller robbed Fuller in the
first inning with n one-handed catch.
In the second, Meme slowed up a
scorcher through the box off Grimes
bat and Gross rushed over. making a
wonderful play TO nail his m1r at
first by a step. Meyers made several
good catches in center for the Bears.
A brisk. tricky wind made fancy field
Ing doubly remarkable.
Boone Runs or Weight.
The fans, lots Of them in straw
hats. had their fun. They saw Alex
ander (somebody called him Grover
Bergdoll Alexander), Killefer, and all
the rest of the famous Cubs, and the
domestics proved they can play ball
if they get the pitching. The stands
became quite enthusiastic when San
Antonio enjoyed four-run lead in
the first inning.
Ike Boone, the Alabama apple-rap-
per, took off untold weight in running
around the bases and in running down
Cub drives to left field. Ike didn't
get over TO lot of line drives, but
he made two creditable catches. He
ought to be a sensation in the Texas
League when he takes off about ten
more pounds.

the lack Of roads il has been almost i'm
possible for officers ~ the law TO cap

unsettled sections below Ell Jardin. The
