One of the most successful baseball seasons in the history of the college was closed Thursday when the Farmers' walked away, with the Central University of Kentucky In a very fast and interest ing game, the score being 5 to 1. When the squad first appeared on the field for practice this spring it was thought that A. and M. could not put out a team thatcould compete for championship honors this season, as several of her stars of the previous seasons had dropped by the wayside, but this -did not discourage Frank Thompson, who has done the coach ing this year. He succeeded in whip ping Into- condition an aggregation that ranks right up In the front for State championship this season. The record made by the Farmer lads for the season is as follows: Twenty-two games were played, sixteen of these were won. four lost, one tied and one forfeited with the ecore' standing 3 to 0 In their favor. The first game of the series be tween the class baseball teams was j-layed Friday afternoon on the new athletic ball park between the sopho mores and juniors, the contest being won by the former hy the score of 10 to 8. The game created more ex citement than any game played at the college this season, both sides being- represented ty an immense crowd of enthusiastic rooters, who kept their lungs going from the moment the Urn ball waa tossed across the plats till the last man was down. Although the final result was in faTor of the sopho mores, the playing honors wars about equally divided. The winners of this contest will play the team from the freshman cla next week far tha trophy cup AMERICAN MOISTENING COMPANY X S. COTHBAN, offered by the faculty. President and Mrs. D. H.
