If baseball has hhown Its gains It has also been hindered
In dozenR of other plntes. Ono of the spots whero baseball isn't
to be bad Is at Southwest Texas tate In San Marcos.

something of a cue man battle to cncourngo tho College's
trustees to comilder expanding Ithe Southwest Texas athletic
program to Include baseball.
Mr. Griffin mys that It would cost something llko $8000 to

Tho Optimist Sports will start tho contribution by giving
