The Sacred Heart girls baseball
team defeated the st. Anne's girls by
a rather one-sided score Thursday af-
ternoon, the second practice game for
the recognized Sacred Heart team
and the second victory.
Like Connie Mack. the Sacred

the team from the youngsters of the
parish. The girls have the task of
keeping up the standard of play es-
tablished by their predecessors who
lost only one game in three seasons.
In Thursdays game. they showed
signs of all-around ability, hitting the
ball hard and often. running the bases
well and fielding excellently in spots
and steadily throughout, holding their
rivals to three runs.
They are seeking games with all
girls teams in an effort to prepare
themselves for their annual series
with their chief rivals, the st.
Gerard's nine, team practically in
tact from last season. Games can
be arranged with the Sacred Heart

dent of the Mills Engraving company
of San Antonio, died at = clock Fri
day morning ut his residence, 800
Aberdeen. street, after following his
chosen vocation i'll this city for 81
years.
While Mr.. Mills had not been in
good health, he was at his office for a
while Thursday, and his death came
as surprise.

he was about "A years of age. He was
harbor master at Buffalo at the age
of II and continued at this position
for three or four years and then moved
TO Denver, Col. Here he first took up
the art of engraving.
Mr.. Mills was a brother of John
Harrison Mills, internationally known
sculptor and artist, and this was one
of the things which influenced him
in choosing engraving as a protes-
sion.
He conducted an engraving BUSH
ness in Denver successfully for sew
eral years and IN 1871 moved 10 san
Antonio where he established the busi-
ness of which he was the head until
his death at the age of ~ years.
When Mr.. Mills first came to San
Antonio engravings were carved on
wooden blocks. The art progressed TO
the chalk plate stage. which method
Mr. Mills adopted. Photo engraving
then became practicable and Mr.. Mills
installed the necessary machinery for
doing this sort of work. Mr.. Mills
was always among the leaders in the
Texas field of engraving.
Mr.. Mills is survived by his widow,
Ella V. Mills and two sons, Il. g.
Mills of New York City, and Harry
