MANY A TRUTH IS SPOKEN IN JEST EMORY AND HENRY DOWNS UNIVERSITY OF MEXICO IN CLOSE CONTEST Emory, Va., April 32, 1925. The University of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico, went down in glorious defeat at the hands of Emory and Henry College here today, by the close score of 47 to 0. The largest crowd of the season witnessed the fray, which was tense throughout. Coach Fullerton gave an inspiring talk to the Emory lads before entering the game, tell- ing of a dream that .he had had the night before. He said: “I dreamed an unusual dream last night; that Combs laid down a bunt and beat it out; that Bailey knocked a home run; that Byrd caught a fly (perhaps he meant a horse fly) and that ‘Short’ Horne showed signs of having one time possessed brains. I don’t believe in dreams. Play ball.” The Waspcttcs attended the game cn- masse, not because they were particularly interested in baseball, but they deemed it only fair that they should support the boys’ athletic contests, as they (the boys) had suf- fered through several of their basketball games. They deemed it an obligation to the brave lads, who had so suffered. Herndon, the lead-off man, knocked a home run. Cecil knocked a home run. Bailey knocked a home run. Wygal knock- ed a home run. Byrd, Horne, Combs, Shufflcbarger and Weaver followed with home runs. But Umbiquinio, the Mexican twirier, nipped the rally, only five more home runs being scored in this inning. (Time out Mexico). No runs, no hits, no errors. Weaver gave free tickets to the first three Mexican batters. The next man hit into a triple play, Combs to Weaver to Shufflcbarger to Horne to Bailey to Byrd to Wygal to Herndon to Cecil to runs to hits to errors. In the second inning Horne knocked a home run over the left field fence, but was retired on a fast double play, Tweedle-dum to Tweedle-dce. He was overheard to re- mark, “There is no place like home, even in a baseball game.” Eight runs, no hits, some errors. Weaver was never in danger until the sixth, when Bozo breezed, Antonio whiffed, and Toreador fanned. No runs, no hits, three errors. In the seventh inning Weaver was taken out, substituted by Likens. “Bob” began with, “In Bostic, pitchers---.” This is incidental, however, because in Georgia— peaches and in Florida—(Barnum was right). The first three men flied out to the catcher. Eight runs, one hit, several errors. In the eighth, Umpire William Evans, Jr., Ph.D. announced that Rich was now batting for exercise. He was mistaken, how- ever, for Umbiquinio shot three over so fast that Mandcrville did not have time to get his bat from his shoulder. On returning to the bench, Coach was inquisitive enough to question Rich on the utilization of a base- ball bat. No runs, ditto hits, ditto errors. Some features were the hitting of Rich, the base running of Combs, and the pitch- ing of Umbiquinio. The game was called at the end of the sixteenth inning to allow the Mexican toss- ers to catch 30.
