The st. Mary's Academy baseball
team has now beaten every other team
ia the Academic League once as the
result Of Ito ) defeat handed the
West Texas Military Academy Cadets
on the Alamo Heights diamond Non
day afternoon. The gate completed
the first half of the league race.
Several times it seemed as il st.
Mary's was in for its first test OF
Academic League defeat as the Cadets
pounded cut one safe blow after an
other, but West Texas failed to take
proper advantage of the dozen nits
gathered off the delivery Of DittInar
and, besides, mace a raft OF errors
when errors meant enemy runs. Dit
mar allowed plenty of safe HRS, which
were Wi! punched ~ the Cadets IN
two inpi 1gs, but scattered in others.
st. Marys fielding was stron. fac
tor in holding down the Ca,lers once
they GOT Oh the cushions.
Only five bits garnered off the
delivery of Morgan, Cadet pitcher,
and he struck out eleven in the six
innings worked, he had a tendency
towards wildness, which. with poor
backing, spelled his doom.
West Texas scored a run in the
first inning and st. Mary's tied the
count in the second with a tally. The
score remained tied until the fourth
when West Texas took a one-run lead.
st. Mary's tied it at two-all in the
fifth with another run. In the fol-
lowing stanza the winners collected
three hits off Morgan and ran in four
scores. The Cadets staged a rally
in the seventh which netted three runs.

st. Mary's. Another score by the st.
Mary's lads in the eighth gave them
the two-run margin by which they
won.
Veltman and O'Shaughnessy to-
gether got four of st. Mary's seven
hits. Veltman garnered a double and
single and O'Shaughnessy two sim
giles. Three hits for the Cadets were
made by Smith in three times up.

Question-Can pitcher make a
balk with no one on the bases!
Answer-He can but there is no

rubber and no one is on the bases it
is balk but the umpire in instructed
10 call it a ball and it is not a dead
ball.
Question-If no one tries to catch
an infield fly what happens?
Answes-It becomes fly ball that
strikes the ground without being
caught.
Question-Batter was hit by the
pitcher and another runner was sub
stituted for him. This was not done
until after the batter had got TO first
base. In the meantime. the first base
man had hidden the ball and when the
substitute walked off the base he
touched him and the umpire said he
was out. Was he?
Answer-He was not. The ball had
not been put in play by the umpire
who must announce play after a bat
ter is hit and a substitution made.
The pitcher must also have the ball in
his possession that it may be put in

MISS SANDERSON,
UNCLE FRANK,
AND OTHERS

Julia Sanderson's smile is con-
tagious and Frank Crumit's melo-
dies are infectious. Betwixt and
between that pair of vaudeville
and legitimate stage stars the
Keith program this week is one
of those well-known lightning
bolts. They strike only about
once in every so often, which is
precariously definite.
Miss Sanderson is as whimsical
as Peter Pan. She was many
years ago, and she will be many
years hence. Her charms are
rather of an institutional nature,
they seem to have such stability.
Songs that were hits. in the sew
eral successes of Miss Sanderson's
career were her utensils last
night and from the warmth of
the greeting she won there were
many in that, audience who have
been humming those songs ever,
since Miss Sanderson baptised
them. .,.
Frank Crumit is one Of those
easy-going fellows who simply
walks out on the stage and
charms the girls. And his fair
companion charmed the, members
of the opposition, which last is
connubially speaking. They've
personality galore. -.
Just to. make matters easier,
Crumit espied one Walter John
son, who seems to be fairly well
known in this neighborllood, and
the aforementioned Mr.. johnson
was introduced. Julia chucked
him handsome bouquet, which
promptly was awarded to a Mrs.
Johnson.
The eleventh series of seventh
wonders of the world faded into
lnsignificance when team of
tumble artists really proved
worth while. William and Joe
Mandell were the culprits who
inverted the axiom Of the stage
which is that tunblers are sup.
posed to open a show, and let
their stuff stop there. They
were among the best laugh insti-
gators of the season.

pair Of neat hooters, John Ty-

lively steppers. Lots of their
stuff was new. Horace Wright

were not. without their merits.
