AMATEUR BODY
To FOLLOW
S.A. PLAN
Lines Will Be Tightly
Drawn Against
Semi-pros.

San Antonio's ideas of what a
state amateur athletic organization
should be were followed reasonably
close in the formation of the Texas
Amateur Athletic Federation at Waco
Saturday night, according to Roger
Stokes of San Antonio: elected presi-
dent.
Mr.. Stokes and r. c. Oliver, mu-
nicipal Fairgrounds director mere, rep
resented San Antonio. Mr.. Oliver
was made a vice president in charge
Of horseshoe pitching.
The new association will embrace
nine sports at the start and probably
will add more later. Principal among
these will be baseball.
Besides San Antonio, the following
cities were represented: Dallas,
Houston, Fort Worth, Waco and
Wichita Falls. Galveston will enter
although baseball operations will be
limited to cities having leagues Of at
least four teams.
ALL PUT TO WORK.
There are nine vice presidents, each
of whom is given supervision over
some branch of athletics, as follows !:
Baseball, w. A. Kirkland, Houston |;
tennis. s. Adler, Fort Worth; basket
ball, w. F. Jacoby, Dallas: swimming,
r. II. Schultz, Dallas: track and field,
r. d. Evans, Fort Worth; croquet,
Fl. ID. Grady, Fort Worth; volleyball,
A. s. Hillo, Houston indoor baseball,
Bob Stowe, Fort Worth; horseshoe
pitching, H. G. Oliver, San Antonio.
executive committee of the fedora
ton.
Constitution and bylaws for the
federation were adopted and Waco
was selected as the 1926 meeting
place. The gathering next year to be
held between the first and third Mon
day in November.
President Stokes announced that it
had been definitely decided to stage
an amateur baseball tournament in
Texas next year. For this purpose the
state will be divided into the northern
and southern districts, point just
south of Waco to be the dividing line.
In the northern district will be Waco,
Dallas, Fort Worth and Wichita
Falls, while the south district will be
composed Of San Antonio and Hous-
ton. Elimination games will begin the
last week in August, with the series
Of final games to be played the second
week in September.
BASKETBALL, TOO.
A basketball tournament in the
spring also was decided upon.
IL was made plain at the meeting
that the outstanding object of the
federation was to promote amateur
baseball.
There will be determined eight
on mixing semi-professionalism and
amateur baseball. Teams with semi
pros in their ranks must &c: them out
before May 10.
There will be state tennis tour
nament for juniors, Mr.. Oliver said.

BADGERS N AK E
DIZZY START, BUT
WIN GAME, 10 TO Z
Durango Gets 5-Run Lead
Before Local Team
Gets In Game.

The first man to face Pitcher An
derson in the game with Durango
Tigers last Sunday went all the way
round the sacks. The next walked.
Then, while the Badgers were looking
the other way, the Tigers started a
procession of runners around the bas-
es which didn't stop until three more
men had tagged the home plate. Look
ed like the beginning of a bad after
noon for the Badgers.
Taking their turn with the bats, the
Badgers stepped out and grabbed off
few runs for themselves. Three, to
be exact.
The Tigers finished the first half of
the second stanza with their percent
age of gain considerably reduced. Just
one Tiger made the circuit.
Then, the preliminary workout over,
the game started.
The Badgers BANKED the Tigers all
the way to the LIST half of the 8th in
ming when they annexed another run
and that was all.
The last half of the third was when
the Badgers win the game. They start
ed batting rally in this period which
netted some odd runs. Another run
in the last half of the eighth inning
established the final score-10-7, with
the Badgers on the long end.
The fact that the Badgers are eccen-
trio at times hardly justifies criticism.
They get away with it-and win. The
beginning of the game last Sunday was
an instance Following that part of
the game, with the exception of few
rough spots, they gave Anderson
splendid support. Anderson was in
good trim and pitched a good game.
Durango had the Badgers in bad
hole in the first half of the second in
ming But for the headwork of Smoke
Anderson in this session the ball
game was gone. Bases full, two men
down, three balls, two strikes on the
umpire's indicator and the fans on
their feet, Anderson shot the pill to
third catching the runner off. The
catcher tagged him out midway be-
tween home and third.
A noticeable increase in attendance
at this game was gratifying to the
club. It's a big help when the fans
turn out and root for the boys. The
quality of baseball they play deserves
good patronage.
The score:
Durango Tigers --------510 600 O10- s
Badgers .-................306 900 010-10

Touring Party Returns
From Trip to Northwest

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Snider, daugh-
tiers, Merle Snider, Katherine, and
son, Clinton, accompanied by Mrs.
Charles Thompson and daughter, Hill
bred, all of this city, returned Sunday
from a motor trip through Iowa and
Minnesota.
They started from this city July 10
and went directly to Mason City, Iowa,
where they visited relatives. Thence
on to Minneapolis, and from there to
Excelsior, where they visited the Alb.
Blackburn family, former residents of
this county.
They relate of the the visitation of a
devastating hail storm which occurred
in the section surrounding Excelsior
on Sunday, July 26. The area of dam
age was two to three miles wide.
Kodak pictures, which the Sniders
took show the ground literally covered
with hail stones, many as large as hen
eggs.
The effect of this unusual precipi-
tation was a literal Kidding of corn
fields and other crops, beating them
into the ground.
The Sniders describe the storm as
the most severe they have ever seen.
The fall of hail, they say, remained on
the ground several hours, reducing
temperature far below the point of
comfort.
They report a pleasant trip which
covered long mileage.

DAY FAMILY. 200
STRONG, PICNIC
AT CITY PARK
Descendants and Relatives
Gather at Municipal Play
ground Last Sunday.

Schreiner park, this city, was the
scene of pleasant and genuine fami-
ly reunion last Sunday which included
descendants of James and Sarah Day
forebears of a progeny known to the
present generation to number at least
1000, and which are now scattered to
the four points of the compass.
On this occasion the greater part of
the day was devoted to getting ac-
quainted and perfecting an organiza-
ton which has for its purpose the
making of the Day Family Reunion an
institution of Grant county the cele-
bration of which shall occur each year.
The conception of the idea of a
occurred to four ladies, direct des-
cendants of the early pioneers of the
Day family, and who promoted the
plans for this, the first of these gath
erings. They are, Florence Day, Luel-
la Day Emler, Louretta Day Brande-
muehl and Ethel Day Sandilands. They
began their work last year, and, while
it was an arduous task, entailing vol
umes of detail, the success of the
gathering last Sunday was due to their
untiring energy.
About $50 members of the family
responded to the invitation broadcast
by these ladies, some coming from
Minnesota, others from Indiana, but
most coming from the surrounding
country nearby.
A splendid dinner was served en-
fannie at 1890 to which all had con-
tributed from weighty baskets.
Following the dinner hour the meet
ing was called to order by Mrs. w. S.
Sandilands The election of officers
for the permanent organization was
the first business.
They are: President, Mrs. Alice
Walker; vice president, Mrs. julius
secretary and treasurer,
Miss Florence Day.
Schreiner park was selected as the
place of the next meeting of the Day
Family Reunion, and Sunday, August
/, of next year as the date.
Mr. Lewis BETTER, of this city, was
the oldest one present on this oc-
casion.

Two Big Cars Mix on Route
10 Sunday; Nobody Hurt

1t is not an easy case to trace, but
there was serious collision on No.
10, about three miles east of Montfort,
Sunday forenoon. A Hupmobile 8,
driven by its owner, said to be w. ].
Graft, Boscobel, and another car, the
name and ownership of which cannot
now be given, collided The Graft
car lost its left front wheel, had a
badly twisted fender and the left light
put out of commission. This is a new
car, and Sunday evening it was
brought in to the Monitor garage for
an inventory of its damages and to be
repaired.
1t is said that the other car lost
its rear works, indicating that it cut
into the road in front of the big Hupp.
The left lamp on the Hupp was
twisted around, but the glass in it
was not broken. When the relief
truck brought it in, it was a sorry
looking wreck.
