San Angelo people are enthnsiastic over the Boosters, and
try to bribe, buy or steal Bobby. Mose Arrington
lost the first game, but his ardour for
the Boosters does not wane.
Gaily bedecked with blue badg-
es, bearing" the words Asper-
mont Boosters thereon, and their
traveling bags and suit cases
also labeled in like manner. Our
famous ball team accompanied
by a large delegation of rooters
left for San Angelo on the even-
ing train July 2nd.
They were scheduled to ar-
rive in San Angelo at 10:25 a. m.
the morning of the 3rd and play
their first game that afternoon.
They forgot, however, to inves-
tigate the record of the Orient
for the Boosters, so out of harm-¡
ony with all ^previous records j
that they were dazed, and made j
a solemn vow to have revenge in
the afternoon, and they got it.
Those who saw Bobby's speed :
in the last two inning of the j
morning game were enthuastic,
and before the afternoon game
was called, the betting was odds:
in favor of the Boosters. San ¡
Angelo's money was called as j
promptly as offered. Many San
Angelo fans became staunch
rooters for the Boosters backing

railroad for running on schedule them not only with their cheers
time, and were detained in Sag-
erton until passed the hour when
they should have reached San
Angelo. During the stay in
Sagerton many artists, hereto-
fore unknown developed, and
amused the restless party with
songs, stories, buck and wing
dances and one of the party is
responsible for the following:
Sagerton Sagerton
, That's the town
Stranded Stranded
Milling around
Waiting for the Orient
It won't come
And it put the Boosters
On the bum.
When at last on their south-
bound journey the Boosters re-
ceived ovations all along the line.
A "Hurrah for Aspermont'' was
heard at every station. Many
joined the Boosters party at each
stop, and at once became unal-
terable rooters for the Asper-
mont team.
Before arriving in San Angelo
the Boosters donned their glad
rags and were ready to be escort-
ed at once to the diamond for
the first game. San Angelo,
however, had become impatient,
and fearing the lateness of the
train would effect the gate re-
ceipts, decided on a double head-
er for the next day, July 4th.
The first game was called at
10 o'clock a. m. and it began to
look like the Boosters were going
to be severely gored, by the
Long Horns. Arrington was on
the mound for the Boosters un-
der protest. His invalid arm
was paining him and he pleaded
for release from the game to no
avail. Twenty-three hits off
him in seven innings and thir-
teen scores tells the story. Bob-
by Burleson succeeded Mose in
the eighth inning and struck out
five of the six Long Horns
that faced him in the last two in-
nings. The Boosters pulled in
three scores and the morning
exercise closed.
It was such a stinging defeat
but their coin.
The afternoon game was call-
ed at 4:30. Roy Robinson first j
up for the Boosters, Lilly follow-1
ed, and then Gober. All three'
l
scored. The Long Horns were
handed a goose egg. Three
more in another inning, and then
three more in another. Whitten-
burg pitching for the Longhornsi
was knocked clean out of the!
box and was replaced in the fifth
inning by Robertson. (Left
handed Luke). Robertson
knocked a clean three bagger in
the 4th and made it a home run
on a trival error. Roy Robinson
was the star hitter for the Boost-
ers in this game. He went up
to the plate to "kill it"—and he
did three of the scores made in
this game were credited to him.
