Indoor Baseball N order that those girls who did not participate in either the basket ball or the volley ball games might still have a chance to make their numeral and to receive the physical training credit offered this semester for that type of work, Miss Mathison called for candidates for indoor baseball teams. A diamond was lined off in the rear of the annex, and the girls began practice. By the time this book goes to press, the girls will not have played any games, but Miss Mathison hopes to develop a team strong enough to exchange games with Holding Institute. Miss Mathison feels that if the girls develop sportsmanship in their games, that indoor baseball competition will have served its purpose. TOP ROW:-R. Ramos, M. Serna, A. Trevino, D. Martin, V.

K im LN 'fha ,Q.:g,,-, Holding Institute HE score in the Tigers opening game, against Holding Institute, was 6-5. By agreement, this first game was a five inning one. The Tigers were in poor hitting form and made seven errors. Mejia, Salazar, and Leyendecker's batting saved the day for the high school team. E. Crabb, in the pitchers box, struck out the first three batters, and the Holding boys gained only two runs from him in four stanzas. The Tigers made four runs in the first inning, one in the third, and one in the fifth. In the next game with Holding, the score was 22-0, in the Tigers' favor. Dickerson and E. Crabb shared honors at mound, allowing only two hits between them. The Tigers made two errors, and pounded out 22 hits for a complete walk- away over the Holding team. COTULLA In the third game of the season the 'Tigers defeated the Cotulla Cowboys 9-5 on the Cotulla diamond. The Cowboys made their runs on some lucky hits and errors. Laredo made 9 runs, 12 hits, and 5 errors, and the Cowboys made 5 runs, 6 hits, and 7 errors. ' FALFURRIAS Thirteen to ten, with the balance on the Tigers' side, was the score in the Laredo-Falfurrias clash, at Falfurrias. Garcia opened the season for homers on foreign soil, and Tony Leyendecker followed with a second. Falfurrias has wins over Hebbronville, Alice, and Kingsville chalked up to her credit, so the Tiger victory is a favorable indication that Laredo may be expected to place in district. 1 TOP ROW:-H.
