HENDERSON STARS
BEATEN BY BEARS
Marshall, Texas.—The Bishop Bears
won a listless and erratic ball game
from the Henderson All-Stars of Hen-
derson, on Bishop field, last Friday.
The Bears failed to display the brand
of baseball and aggressiveness that
swept them through, three conference
victories in their recent road trip
through South Texas; yet they pound-
ed the ball hard and often, although
the infield was sadly lacking in speed
and precision. This tendency on their
part can be attributed to the fact that
they outclassed the Henderson boys
and this was only a practice game to
prevent them from becoming stale
while awaiting the time for the cru-
cial series with Texas College to de-
cide the conference championship and
end the college baseball season. “Big
Shorty” Rettig, captain-backstop of
Bears and former member of the
Henderson team, treated his home
boys with a homer with one of his
teammates on the third station. Hen-
derson managed to connect for a
round trip wallop. Norris pitched
for the Bears the majority of the
game and except for an occasional
period of wildness fared nicely, and
showed promise of becoming a reli-
able hurler, when he gets more con-
fidence in himself.
Bishop meets Texas College May
16 and 17 in a series that promises to
be chock full of action and disappoint-
ment for one of the two. Bishop has
dropped two conference encounters
and if she can win the remaining two
from Texas College, all will be ok,
but Texas College has only lost one,
and if she can prevent the determined
Bears from getting away she will do
what seems to be common place with
her: win the conference baseball pen-
nant again. She has won several
times in succession for the last few
years.
