Important Outpost in Line

San Antonio, Texas.-Nestling In
the foothills Of Starr county, lying
snugiy against the banks of the somber
and treacherous Rio Grande. rubbing
shoulders with the quaint and typical
ly Mexican town, Rio Grande City, just
midway between Brownsville and La
redo, Is located one of the most digni-
fed and stately Of army posts-Fort
Ringgold, Texas. Chaplain r. w. Rog-

post for the United States Army Re

enjoyed varied but quiet career, II
nevertheless Is considered very
strategic border post. Fort Ringgold
was established when the Rio Grande
was navigable, boats bringing the first
detachment Of men to Davis Landing
which later was called Ringgold Bar
racks. In those early days the near
est railroad was at Laredo something
more than 100 miles away, while now
she boasts q railroad at Sam Fordyce,
only 20 miles away.
Camargo, Mex, six miles south of
Fort Ringgold, was founded March 8,
1749, by Jose de Escandon. The first
survey and map was made for the king
of Spain In 1765. 1t shows line run

gold reservation. With the withdrawal
Of Texas from Mexico and its admis-
sion to the United States, the original
title changed over to the state. In the
early 40s, II. Clay Davis, a restless
young wanderer, drifted to that sec
tion of the country and purchased a
large tract of land. He soon established
a prosperous ranch and settled down
to make his fortune.
Capt. ]. III. La Motto, First United
States infantry, took small detach-
ment Of soldiers up the Rio Grande to
Davis Landing, arriving on October 26,
1S4S. Not until 1853 was the first lease
made. A tract 400 yards square, sur
rounded by a brush fence, containing
80 acres was surveyed. The lease was
signed by HI. Clay Davis, owner Of the
land, and w. w. Chairman, represent

During this period log huts were erect
ed for the use Of the troops. Early In
1850 the soldiers were ordered further
down the river owing to the Cortina
trouble. The old lease having e1-
pired during the absence Of the troops,
another lease was made upon their
return. This one was to operate for
ten years, granting the owner 5000 per
year. 1t further provided, the govern
ment had the privilege of buying the
land for $4,000. Two years later the
Civil war started and the federal
troops were taken from the Ringgold
barracks. Immediately after the war
troops were again sent to that post,
arriving in 1857. The property was
held by lease until 1878, when It was
purchased outright.
In 1905. a brigade post was estab-
lished at San Antonio. Fort Ringgold
with other border posts was disman-
tied and abandoned. The property
was turned over to the Department Of
the Interior. 1t was laid of In q

border disturbances again took SOL

the present soldiers and National
Guardsmen have constantly been on
watch there. However, no improve
ment was made until 1917, when the
property was again turned back to the
War department. In 1918, congress
appropriated $250,0O0 for the improve

years other appropriations have been
sufficient to repair and improve the
post until today It Is one of the most

Everett Scott, frail shortstop of
the New York Americans, has play
ed 1891 consecutive games. He start
ed his "iron man" stunt June 20,
1916, and is still at it.
NO position on the ball field is
more dangerous to play than that of
shortstop. This, coupled with the
fact that Scott is far from husky,
makes his endurance record all the
more remarkable.
Here are 10 reasons why Everett
Scott has been able to hang up a
record for endurance, that will prob
ably stand, even after Babe Ruth's
50 homers in one season has passed
out of the picture:
l. Takes great care Of his physi-
cal condition. Follows training rules
more like a college player than a
professional athlete.
2. Never hurries himself in the
spring. Conditions himself slowly
regardless of how we'll his rivals for
the position are showing.
3. Makes careful study of hi;
batters, figures no two alike, en-
abling him to make plays easily that
otherwise might call for foolhardy
effort.
A. Never forces his arm except in
the pinch. Times his runners so that
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-01-03

he throws the fast and slow ones
out by the same margin.
5. Has made a careful study of
touching runners. This is the most
dangerous of all plays on the ball
field and no player is called upon to
make it more often than the short
stop. Watches the runner closely
and, being familiar with his man
nerisms, positions himself accord
ingly in making the touch, also TAX
ing into consideration the direction
of the throw.
s. Gets the signal for every pitch
and then tries to figure what he will
do in advance. Says this is most
important and saves many "bone-
head play"
7. Doesn't believe in fussing with
the umpires unless he has real
grievance. Then expresses his OBJ
jectons in a way that results, in the
umpire giving him much consider
ation rather than pointing to the
exit sign.
8. Guards constantly against be-
ing temperamental. Says a player
must accept the good and tough
breaks as part of the game.
8. Insists on being on optimist,
believing that everything is going
to be all right and says it usually
turns out that way.
10. Fights hard but always tries
to play the game fair.
