FOUR SERIES
WINNERS

The 1881 Babe Ruth contest Of
ficially opened today. So come on,
you baseball experts, show what
you really know about the grand.
old national pastime.
Show your fellow fans how
closely you hove been following
the sport that keeps more jaws
wagging during the spring, sum-
mer and autumn than any other
subject.
Sharpen up 'steen pencils,
gather up a ream of paper, slip on
the old thinking cap, and jot down
the all-star team that you figure
Babe Ruth will pick.
The requirements are simple
All a contestant has to do is pick
a team, made up of players from
either major league, and then
state in $50 words or less why he
or she has selected those players.
and assign them to their positions
and to such and such a batting
order.
The contest is open to both
men and women, and children.
There is no age limit.
Think of the prize!
Four free trips, all expenses
paid, to the first two games OF
the WNrld series, which this year
will be played in a National
League city.
But read the complete rules
published in the sports section
today. Don't just glance at them
but read them thoroughly. so
that you can faniiliarize your,
self with them, and thus save
the Babe Ruth Committee and
yourself lot of unnecessary
trouble and worry.
The rules are simple and must
be strictly adhered to.
In sending in your selections
try to utilize the coupon at
tached. This is not absolutely
essential, but fans are urged to
use it, because it will simplify
the work of the Babe Ruth Com
mittee when it comes down to
rating, the selections.
Remember, this is not a
guessing contest. 1t is a test
of skill, judgment, and an in
innate knowledge Of the vari-
Gus big league baseball play
ers. 1t is close study of
their fielding and batting aver
ages and general abilities.
An important factor in the con-
test is to establish proof of base
ball knowledge by sending in the
reasons for selecting your team in
$50 words or less.
Don't forget. Approximating
Babe Ruth's team selection alone
will not win one of these trips.
Only the nearness of the fans
team to Ruth's. and the excel
lence of baseball logic in your rea-
sons will be the influencing ele-
ments in the final judgment.
The contest will last through
out the month of August. No Sc
lections will be accepted post
marked after midnight, Monday,
August 81.
The winners will be announced
as soon after the close of the con-
test as the selections can be
judged.
How closely have you watched
this years great pennant race in
both major leagues? How closely
have you watched the players at
their work? Here's your chance
to prove your baseball Smartness.

Wilev-Prairie View Clash
To Be 1915 Best--Adams
By GERALD II. ADAMS

MARSHALL. Texas. Oct. 5.-Tee
Wiley-Prairie View clash two weeks
hence will be one Of the big games
of the season among our group. II
is doubtful II there will be a better
attended game anywhere during the
present wear. Last year ten thou

ed one OF the most hectic struggles
ever staged at the Dallas EXhibi-
ton.
The recovery Of partially block
ed forward pass during the closing
moments of ~'ay. a pas. that fell
into the hands of "Streak" Evans.
ana a dash OF sixty yards down a
clea- reld gave the locals a l7-l3
victory over the Partners. Almost
as many again as saw last years
battle will be on hand this fall.
Panther rooters say that the Wiley
eleven was lucky to win last year.
but Wldca. followers believe they
had the better team, so they are all
going back to prove that they were
right.
Beth teams will be better than
they were last year. Prairie View
has benefited by the addition OF
Jimmy DuPree at half and big
HUGHES at tackle. while the addition
of Patterson and Adams to the To-
calls has proven a god-sent to Coach
Long. Coach Sam r-5lor has
secuted both OF the Wilcats' starts
