School Baseball Comes Into
Its Own Here Within a Week

Among these there are three likely
hurlers in Lindsey Crawford, Mac"
Ledbetter and C. o. Walker. Among
the others out are Bill Philips, who
probably will be ineligible 10 play

green. Others are expected to come
out as the season progresses.
Collegians Well Advanced.
st. Mary's College probably has been
organized and practicing baseball
longer than any of the other schools
in the city. The team was organized
at the college early in the month but
the northers stopped the practice after
some preliminary work.
The boys at the college are looking
for few practice games before begin
ming their seasons schedule. These
practice games also will be the basis
on which it will be decided whether or
not the team will be entered in the
Academic League this season.
The college boys who are working
out under the leadership of Captain
James Clifford are Alvin Droitcourt,
Tom Brooks and John Trabucco,
pitchers; Joseph Casados, catcher; +.
Bomba, second base; Oswald Keller,
shortstop: Joe Lamon and Alph
Lamm, third base, andJulius Wurz-
bach, Gregory Gomez, Fermin Cruz
and Robert Moore, fielders. Captain
Clifford is first baseman.
Practice will begin next week at
Wesleyan Institute under the tutelage
of Coach Ely but there is very little
likelihood that the school will enter
a team in the Academic League. Coach
Ely also wants to look over his stuff
before rendering an opinion.
Grounds Need Conditioning.
The grounds at Wesleyan are not
in the best of shape for practice yet
but some of the institute boys ready
TO go are Albert Aguilar. pitcher /;
Carlos Garcia, catcher: John Villa

second baseman, and Ralph Tobin,
Prudentio Valdes. Frank Cruzadeo
and Castano, outfielders. Others are
expected to make known their baseball
aspirations soon.

probably will turn out n nine of cham
pionship caliber. He sent ont a call
for pitchers during the week and he
found fifteen of them lobbing the ball
over improvised slabs in light timber
ing-up Exercises.
st. Mary's Academy is another Of
the doubtful entries in the Ac 'emic
League and Brother Matthias says
that he is not prepared to make any
sort of estimate of prospects for the
season. Ee is almost wholly unac-
ouainted with his material but admits
that if spirit counts for anything the
academy lads will get in the league
fight.
Little information is Forthcoming
from the st. Anthony's College camp
with thu exception of a statement by
Father Chaput that the boys are ready
to turn their attention to baseball now
that the basket ball season is ended.
Father Chaput was not prepared Sat
urday to give out any information re-
garding the prospects of the team or
the men turning out. He did say,
however. that st. Anthony's College is
not likely to enter the Academic
League this year but probably would
play independently.
Few Experienced Players.
The experienced players who prob
ably will come out at st. Anthony's
are Sutton, CHA, Seidel and Duffy.
There are a large number of new stu
dents in the college but as yet Father
Chaput has not unearthed any new
material.
West Texas Military Academy starts
practice Monday with only two letter
men back. These are Floyd and
Burks. Floyd is captain and will
play first or third base.
Alpha Morgan, recently OF the
Panama Canal Zone, White, Kainer
and Zozelski will compose the hurting
staff, which looks very promising.
