TIE NEW YEAR

THE NEW YEAR
The curfew slowly tolls the knsll,
OF another parting year;
Another baseball season,
With its thrills will soon be here.
What will another season bring?
viii IL show new Rnths and Cobbs7
Will IL offer q batch IL minor stars,
Who'll grab off the veterans jobs7
Will IL offer another torrid race,
Fought Til the pennant's won?
Will u give TO the fans who pay the
way,
A summer Of joy and fun!
Yes, ell Of these things Will come
about.
For that's tn. way Of the game.
Where one drops out, another comes
in,
And our sport carries on tn, same.
And rest assured Of another point.
To muddle the scorekeeper's wits
Well still have the fellow who turns
up each year,
The player who a for his hits.

a nan Of his own mind. He resign
ed that post last week to accept the
coaching job at Nebraska University,
because, he believes, IL means ad-
vsncement in his profession. And
feeling that way, no one blames DIX.
Personally We don't believe the Big

someone's going to have 70 beat

Pat Newman, our good friend Of
san Antonio, and we'll known in the
valley. IS going back 70 his first
love, baseball. Newman has signed
to coach the Alamo City entry in the
Texas league next season. Undoubt-
eddy the situation has gotten pretty
bad In San Antonio in baseball
way. Fans love a winning team. and
the Bears haven't been in that hind
OF company in many, many years.
Tom Conner, business manager, an
nounced sometime ego that Bill Al.
exander would manage the club next
season. Alexander is OF the old vim
taFs. and he and Newman should add
: Iot Of color to the Texas league.
Newman, we believe, will have
complete charge or the team before
the seasons over. Dcn't you believe
that way, too7
