The following political announce-
ments have been authorized in
this newspaper, subject to the ac-
tion of the Democratic primary,
July 27:
After a couple of day’s freedom,
we are back, but with very little
news. The younger brother gave
you a bit of the slant down Texas
University this year, and it would
appear that Texas fans are begin-
ning to feel better about their foot-
ball team’s chances. They have
never had to worry about their
baseball team and their track and
basketball teams usually win or end
the season around the top of the
ladder, so evidently the sports sit-
uation at the university must be
very much on the up and up.
Dallas Visitors.

Ennis may have two good boys’
teams in softball this year and
then again, she may not have so
much as one team that can be
considered good. I. G. Moore’s In-
dustries will sponsor a boys’ soft-
ball team, according to reports,
and they have been busy these
fast few days, lining up all the
local talent that they can find.
The old standby, the Ennis Mer-
chants, will have, their team as
usual, and they are also trying
to get all of the softball players
they can find.' Whether Ennis can
furnish enough players for two
teams, and whether the material
furnished will be good enough to
stand the shock of meeting the
different fast clubs of Dallas and
other places, remains to be seen.
We have our doubts- and if you
will remember, Ennis was hard
put to place a winning team on the
field last year in softball.
When talking politics, the Hon.
(title attached since being booked
to throw out the first ball for the
Ennis Negro' Wonders) Sewell al-,
ways tells his story about when he
was campaigning for re-election as
representative. It seems he was
out in the rural area-, making a
tour of the farm- homes, and he
had just finished having a long,
friendly and apparently very suc-
cessful chat with, a venerable old
white haired man.
Then just before leaving, Sewell
said, “Now I want you to be sure
and remember me at election time
and cast your vote for me.”
The old man replied, “All right,
son, cause we sure gotta get that
fellow ot we got down there at
Austin now.”

It is still spring training period
for lots of the football teams over
the state and Abilene Christian
College has been having a whole
lot of the same. Buster Dixon,
backfield ace for Ennis in 1933
and one of the most promising
young players of the team that
year, has been doing a good job.
Buster lettered at ACC in 1939, his
freshman year and has been run-
ning in the first string backfield
during the spring training period.
Dixon seems to be a bit taller and
hits the scales around 175 pounds.
He is hard as nails and appears' to
be in fine shape. Buster is run-
ning in the blocking back position
and handles the ball on lots of the
reverses and gets his share of pass
receiving. Dixon was one of the
bst hustlers that Ennis had while
he was here and evidently he is
still hustling at ACC. He was
slated to fill the blocking back
position in the 1938 Ennis team,
but loss of several key players
through scholastic difficulties, forc-
ed him into the- running endi of
the business and hef turned out
to be a nautral at packing the ball.
He was a hard running back, hefty

THE MANAGEMENT.
(Editor’s Note: E. C. t"Jeep") (
Oates, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
A':
It may be that things, can be
worked out to the satisfaction of
every one, and we hope that they,
can. Ennis could stand some more'
winning softball teams like the
Ennis Merchants have had in past
years. Last year , remains a sore
spot to the fans, and much of the
dissatisfaction was caused by the
lack of interest on the part of
the older players on the Merchants'
team. When we say older players,
we don’t mean all of the veterans,
for some cf, them were very faith-
ful, but the majority let social
life and other things- interfere with
their softball playing and conse-
.quently the Merchants were hard
put at times to find enough men to
play.'The visiting teams would have

Ennis will have a team entered
in the Ellis County Amateur Base-
ball League, it was definitely an-
nounced this morning.
Some representatives from En-
nis will be present at the meeting
to be held! next Monday night in
Waxahachie, the last date for en-
tering teams, as the schedule is to
be made up that night, and enter
a team from Ennis.
These teams will be strictly ama-
teur teams and will not be of the
semi-pro type. The first game is to
be played a week from- Sunday,
and they will be played every- Sun-
day from then on.
Bert Miller, who has attempted
to organize a semi-pro team in
Ennis, is now planning to enter
two teams in the amateur league,
and these would constitute Ennis’
entry into the league. Mr. Miller’s
plans are being made so that En-
ins could have a game every Sun-
day. He explains while one is at
home, the other wouuld be away.
But should Mr. Miller fail to
get a team, other resources in En-
nis, thinking that what he was
after was a semi-pro team, have
begun organization of an amateur
team and will continue them, un-
less Mr. Miller can give Ennis
baseball.
MARY GODDARD—Strange as it seems, although the Declaration of Independence was published at
least eight times in broadside form, and extensively in newspapers, the broadsides turned out by Mary
Katherine Goddard in 1777 were the first official issue to list the names of the signers. The names of
all fifty-six signers appear in the document, except that of Thomas McKean of Deleware—left out either
by error or because possibly he had not signed the Declaration when the broadside was published
The Goddard broadsides were printed by order of th e Continental Congress as that each of the United
States would have an official copy.- TOMORROW:—How Were James I of England and James VI of

Texas in Baseball Too.
Tht grand old man of Southwest
baseball, Uncle Billy Disch, has
another great diamond team at
Texas. In pre-season games his
Longhorns- have trimmed everything
in. sight, including Texas League
entries.
In pitcher Melvin Deutch, and
third baseman Bobby Moers, the
all-American basketball player,
Uncle Billy has two major league
prospects. Texas has the pitching,
the hitting, the fielding, the color
and the will to win.
The Aggies have a five-man
pitching staff that will take their
place with any bunch of twirlers.
They have the hitting power of
the league, but* their fielding is
like that of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Their coach plays every pitch
like John McGraw and the players
don’t get a chance to take advan-
tage! of sudden breaks that may
pre sen t themselves, breaks that
win ball games. The loss of Lefty
Moon, heavy young hitter, was a
blow to the Cadets. Moon broke
bones in his leg when he slid in
already had their warm up period
and would! be ready to go. The
Merchants, meanwhile, were look-
ing for somebody to take the place
of one or two vacant positions
and usually somebody was recruit-
ed from the grandstand to fill in.
This kind of interest was very dis-
couraging and hurt the team’s
chances of winning very much.
But there may be good in every-
thing, for this lack of interest cn
the part of some of the older
players gave the youngsters a
chance and many times they prov-
ed to be better than the older
boys. If the Merchants get the
right kind of boys this year and
the right co-operation, things may
move very smcothly for them.

By E. C. (“Jeep”) Oates.
The major sports left in college
circles in the Southwest Confer-
ence are now boiled down to base-
ball and track and consensus points
to the University of Texas as the
probable winner of both. Although
Rice Institute should give the
yellow shirted boys a race for
track honors and the Texas Aggies
and Baylor may have something
to say about the baseball pennant.
Rice captured the conference
track meet in 1939 with their ar-
ray of dash and hurdle men fea-
turing the “Flying Dutchman" Fred
iWolcott who is the leading hurdler
in the country. He also sets a new
conference record in the century
dash with a 9.5. Red Cecil of the
Aggies tied the record in the same
heat with a 9.6 and pushed Wolcott
in ahead of him.
Lonnie Hill should give Wolcott i
a -rim for the honors in the dash- ‘
es this season. Boyce Gatewood and
Edi Dreiss of Texas and A. and M.
respectively have been running be-
hind Wolcott in the hurdles in that
order for the past two years and
there has never been over a stride
difference in the- first and third
place man. Elmer aGtewood or
Dreiss may nose out the Rice
champ in any meet.
During the last few years the
champion has either been Rice or
Texas and the Aggies resting com-
fortably in third place., Texas and
Rice are usually held apart by one
first place point and with Lonnie
Hill added to- the Steer’s’ -dashes
and- their field department well up
in the top rung it jlcoks like the
Steers this season.
A. and M. i is usually the' team,
that decides the winner. They come
up eachi year with several second
and third place. winners to . give
them third place money, and there
is. always- one or two men that
take a first place that either Rice
or Texas was counting oh. ht

Oates of Ennis, a senior student
at Texas A. and M. College, is the
official statistician for Southwest
Conference athletics, and so is in
a position to know about South-
wiestern sports from the inside. So,
while in Ennis for the Easter holi-
days, he was asked to give The
News the inside information on
spring sports, which it was felt
would be of interest to some read-
ers.)
