Edna Lost Opening
Play-off Game 2-1
From nil accounts, they had quite
- a hull game out at the Matilda Com-
presor Station diamond Sunday af-
ternooii when the Edna Pipellners,
winners of the first half, met the
Victoria Rosebuds, second half win-
ners, in the first game of the play-off
series. Victoria won this important
game by the score of - to 1, and in
so doing established themselves as
deeidid favorites to win the cham-
jpiiontdiip. However, | the Pipellners
slill have a chance and they are not
yet ready to concede that Victoria
has the better team. However, they
do not offer any excuse for losing
Sunday’s game.
.less Ling, right hander, was Mana-
ger Homer Brown’s choice to pitch
this game for the lfipeliners. Jess
pitched a good game insofar as hold-
ing the Rosebud hatters in check, but
a streak of wildness proved very
costly and the three wild pitches
lessened ids chances of winning.
True, the Pipellners did not give
him hut one run. Taken ail, in all
Jess pitched a good game, but it

A large number of ex-service men
had a great time out at the Edna
Roping Club grounds on the Dewey

happened that Rode, Rosebud hurler the veterans of World War 1 threw

hits and «8 errors. Edna outhit Vic-
toria 5 to 4, while in fielding Victoria
had the edge, making ii errors to 5
for the Pipellners.
For some reason, probably an over-
sight, the local team failed to turn
in a box score of the game. How-
ever, Chester Evans, sports writer for
the Victoria Advocate, covered the
game for his puper, and we are using
his splendid write-up below.
By CHES EVANS.
EDNA, Sept. 8th.—Nook Rode, a
Victorian the Army taught to- pitch
as well as light, bested the veteran
Jess Ding in u sterling mound duel
here Sunday afternoon to give the
Rosebuds a 2 to 1 decision over the
Edna Pipellners in the opening game
of tlie Guadalupe Valley League play-
off series. Ednas’ largesl crowd of
tlie year witnessed the thriller play-
ed under overcast skies.
The victory gave Manager James
Lloyd's Rattling Buds a strangle
hold on the championship cup. Next
woe kthe two teams square away at
Victoria’s College Park. If Edpa
wins tlie second game,, then the two
teams will collide again at Victoria
Half of the huge throng which saw
Sunday’s gatne was from Victoria, it
was estimated. And they hacked the
Rosebuds with “folding cabbage” as
well as giving them their vocal sup-
port.
Both pitcliers went the distance
and turned in well pitched games,
with Ling’s three wild pitches in the
second frame proving tlie difference.
Momentarily wild, Ling wild-pitched
Jimmy Spoon, who laid made first
with the game’s first hit, to second,
then to third and the across home

were there present a number of very
lusty appetites.
The occasion was thoroughly enjoy-
ed by everyone ns there were oodles of
tasty veal and the trimmings that go
to make a meal fit for the most,
fastidious.
This meeting was principally for
engendering good fellowship among
the ex-service men of the Edna area,
and it succeeded far beyond tlie ex-
Iieetion of tlie most enthusiastic.
About the busiest place in Edna this week
was down at the Southside Schools where a
great horde cf youngsters gathered Monday
to begin or continue to learn about “reading,
and writing, etc.’’ For many it was the FIRST
DAY and with it came that great thrill seldom
ever experienced in human life.

A'ar being taken care of. The Northside school is
being rebuilt and will not be ready for use for
many months. However, Supt. B. B. Hayes
reports that evrything is running smoothly and
they anticipate no great inconvenience.
Attendance is probably about normal. In
high school it is about 230, divided as follows:
Seniors_____________________________31
Juniors__________-____________50
Sophomores .........l_______„ 37 l
Freshmen,______________:.51 f
Sub-Freshmen __________________61
For some unacountable reason the senior
class is considerably below normal, but it will
probably pick up numbers as the weeks pass.
The Northside attendance has about a 10%
increase. -
On the faculty this year there are 8 men,
compared to 2 the last term. The war, of course
took its toll of,men the past few years.
This ye hr there are 25 boys taking typing
and 25 boys are taking commercial law, both
being Somewhat of a record for the school.
With the opening preliminaries over, every
one is now ready to settle down and make the
most of the school term ahead.

A soul that lives a life of useless

to please
Itself alone, burns up God’s

your pathway grew;
An holy fragrance to your friends

As angels with your soul to heaven
ascend.

At the next meeting the Rotary
Club #111 have the pleasure of having

talk on “Free Enterprise.” His con-
clusion is that, due to the number of

businesses there is very little, tree
i enterprise left In this country.
Mrs. Iola Jamerson, wife of Mr.
Edwin Jamerson of Donna, a former
j Iwell known Edna resident, passed

her sister-in-law, Mrs. Grace Willis,
at El Canipo after a lingering illness.
The funerul service was held at
tlie Wheeler Funeral Home in El
Campo Saturday, interment in the
Hollywood Cemetery, Houston.
The many friends of the Jamerson
family in Jackson County sympathize
with them in their time of sorrow.
It seems that truly trouble never
comes slug1" Edwin, who had been
in El Campo with his wife for the
past few months, returned to his
home at Donna to look after busi-
ness matters some time the latter
part of August, and while there a
car backed into his parked auto,
breaking his leg, crushed one wrist
and badly bruised him about the
head. However, we are happy to an-
nounce that his condition continues to
improve.
