The arrival of Jess (T-Bono) Win-
ters has brightened tho base ball out-
look at least twenty-five per cent. T-
Bone Is known by every one to bo tho
best base ball player Simmons evor
produced. With his help Coach EaB-
terday will be able to round up a
strong club next Spring.
Winters started his good work early
when he pitched for John Tarloton
College in 1915 losing only one Kame.
The next year owing to sore arm he
played outfield with a batting average
of over 300.
The following season he signed with
Ennls of the Central Texas League
and finished the season winning sev-venty-fivo
por cent of his games.
Ennls won tho pennant with Winters
winning the deciding game. After the
Central League season was over ho
played semi-pro ball In South Toxas
with n good record.
Tho next year this pitcher camo to
Simmons with a reputation to main-
tain which ho did by winning the four
games he pitched. His first game was
played against Meridian which ho won
by a score of 4 to 1 allowing four
hits. The second was against Howard-
Payne the score being 7 to 0 .which
was a no hit affair. His third con-
test he won from Stamford and again
pitched a no-hit game. The next
game he again won from Howard-
Payne allowing them one hit with no
runs. After school was out ho spent
the rest of the season with Donison
o.f tho Western Association. Winters
record there were five games won and
one lost. One of the victories was a
no-hit affair.
The next year after teaching school
a few months T-Bone received a con-
tract from McGraw of the New York
Giants. On reporting to McGraw ho
was formed to tho Kansas City Blues
of tho American Association. Of tho
nine games pitched there ho won sov-
tn and was almost ready to return to
the Giants when ho enlisted In tho
aimy. An army league was formed at
Fort Sam Houston where Winters was
stationed. His regiment entered the
league and won the championship
tnrough Winters' pitching.
Upon being discharged from tho
rmy T-Bono received a call to join
the Giants at their spring training
camp in Gainesville Florida. Luck
was with him In camp as'he developed
"some stuff 'that was hard to beat.
McGraw used him In exhibition cames
against Boston and Washington. Ow
ing to IiIb good work In these cames
ho remained the whole of last season
with tho Giants. His record was four
won and three lost out of nineteen en
gagements.
T-Bone says he hopes ho will bo
given more chances to work next sea
son and believes ho has the "Btuff
to make good.

STEPHENVILLE LAST WEEK
Cowboys Again Lose Game by Small
Margin Ball In Simmons'
Hands When Time Is
Called.
Tho Simmons Cowboys lost tho
game with John Tarleton Agricultural
and Mechanical College Saturday at
Stephcnsvlllo by the score of 19 to 13.
Tarloton started with a rush and
scored a touchdown in tho.iiIrst few
minutes of play through successive
line-bucks. Coach Easterday's men
were taken a little by surprise and
before they knew It Tarleton had plac-
ed the plgnkin over their goal for a
score. The first quarter was the
scene of defeat. Thirteen of Tarle-
ton's 19 points were scored during this
period.
Simmons as ' usual camo back
strong the second half and held the
locals to a scoreless count. The ball
remained in tho middle of tho field
the rest of this quarter each team be-
ing unable to gain ground for any
distance. Simmons started the fourth
quarter with some real fighting and
after some five minutes of play scor-
ed the result of continuous line bucks
the most of which were made by
Cranflll. Simmons kicked to Tarle-
ton and soon had possession of tho
ball on tho 30 yard line. By accurate
passing and line bucks by the Sim-
mons back field the ball was carried
within thirty yards of Simmons goal.
With the use of a pretty forward pass
Thomas to Tabor Simmons scored an-
other touchdown Payno kicking goal.
When time was called for tho game to
bo over Simmons was marching stead-
ily down tho field working end runs
ward passes to great advantage and
were playing the Tarleton players off
their feet. If time had been only a
few minutes longer tho tide would
have been turned.
Tho Cowboys by no means played
their regular good ball against Tarlo-
ton. Had they played Uko they did
against Howard Payne or Trinity
Tarleton would have been defeated 50
to 0 but every team has an off day
and the Simmonltes are patiently
waiting for Tarleton to como hero on
November 23 when tho tide will be
turned and Tarleton will cease to ex-
ist. The football results thus far only
go to show that a football machine can
not be built in one season. Football
the same as everything else requires
time. Simmons has good material and
the best coach in tho Southwest ana
It haB been straight hard luck that wo
have lost three of tho four games
played. A number of the best men
have been out on account of injuries
and as they again come back tho team
is greatly strengthened and are ex-
pecting to win tho remainder of the
games.' Tho locals go to Meridian
November 8th to play their last game
off tho home gridiron for tho present
Beason. It is useless to think of any-
thing but defeatihg Meridian Tarlo-
ton Daniel Baker and Dallas Univer-
sity. If Simmons can hold Denton Nor-
mal to a close game It will mean
much as they aro undefeated and
Denton has defeated teams in Texas
that have defeated othor teams of
much importance. Koep your eyes on
tho CowboyB and lend them your sup-
port. The line-up at the start of last Sat-
urday's game wob as follows:
Bradley right end: Thomas loft
end; Cowden right guard; Clayton
centor; Ilhodes right tackle; Cranflll
left guard; Qalnes left tackle: Sando-
fer fullback; Potter loft half; Tabor
right half; McAllister quarter.
TO OLDESTGITY IN 0. S.
After twolvo days of touring New
Mexico with Doctor Brooks In the In-
terest of the $75000000 Campaign
during which time he delivered ad-
dresses In Albuquerque Santa Fe Tu-
cumcarl Roswell and many othor
smaller towns President Sandefor re-
turned to Simmons College Tuesday.
He roports a very interesting and in-
structive trip; Interesting from tho
standpoint of the tourist and Instruct-
ive both to the people through him
and to him through the peculiarities
of tho country.
That the Inst mentioned fact was
true was attested by a clipping from
tho Uaptist Now Mexican the official
organ of the Baptist State Convention.
Incidentally they (Dr. Brooks and
President Sandefor) have been learn-
ing the pecularltles of travel In
Now Mexico. It is stated on good
authority that on one automobile trip
tho President of Simmons rodo the
radiator to warn his chaffeur of any
holes In the road."
During President Sandefer's speak-
ng tour he was privileged to visit the
University of New Mexico tho ancient
town of Santa Fe with its thousands
of relics and the State penitentiary of
New Mexico. He also attended tho
Baptist State Convention of New Mex-
ico which was held in Albuquerque.
At this convention in Albuquerque
according to President Sandefer oc-
curred one of tho most remarkable- in-
cidents of Its kind that has over oc-
curred In church history. Tho Gover-
nor of New Mexico a Catholic and the
Mayor of Albuquerque also a Catholic
delivered the welcoming addresses to
tho Baptist delegates who attended
the convention. To add to the extent
of departure from tho ordinary the
welcoming addresses wero delivered in
the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Such
breadth of vision is difficult to under-
stand. Fifteen years ago such a thing
could never have taken place. Tho
attitude of the Governor and Mayor
In this case Is highly commendable.
When President Sandefer camo to
chapel Wednesday morning a warm
wlecomo by the student body awaited
him. The cheering and applause last-
ed several minutes. He made a short
talk on his trip touching the most Im-
portant and some of the most humor-
ous Incidents.
IN GIRLSJASKET BALL
Interest In girls' basket ball Is great-
er than has ever been shown in Sim-
mons before. More than thirty girls
are reporting for basket ball doubling
the number of last year.
Tho girls aro divided into four
toamB. Two teams practice on
Wednesday and two on Friday after-
noon. Match games aro being planned
between the Societies and classes and
there will probably bo games with
soma of the best High Schools near
here. Mr. Saunders tho director has
been directing girls basket ball for
seven years and says that ho has tho
best outlook- that ho haB ever had.
"Wo have some exceptional players'
declared Mr. Saunders among them
aro: Mabel Walker Allle Suggs Lois
Lollar Mablo Mitchell and Cleo Motes.
The teams will organize and elect
their captains In a few days.
POPE SOCIETY.
Tho Popo Society met Friday after
noon for the purpose of making plans
for tho Confederation which will meet
hero In November. The entertainment
commltteo was appointed to servo dur-
ing the Confederation after which a
'short program was given.
MANY STUDENTS GIVE LIFE
Or. Jenkins Makes Strong Appeal to
Students for Volunteer for Va.
rious Branches of Missionary
Work.
Following Dr. Jenkens' most appeal-
ing plea for volunteer missionaries
made In chapel Tuesday morning
thirty-eight Btudents volunteered for
missionary work. Ten of this num-
ber stated their willingness to do any
kind of service.
Dr. Jenkens began his talk by re-
minding tho students of the fact that
most of his chapel talks heretofore
had been of a light nature. He recalled
the "good times that we have had hero
together." And then assuming a seri-
ousness of manner that In Itself com-
manded and held the attention of overy
one of his hearers he requested the
audience to forgot the fun and go with
him Into the serious matter that ho
was about to present. Ho' then re-
vealed tho object of his speech by
referring to the fact that this was en-
listment week for tho Southern Bap-
tist Convention. Efforts were being
made all over tho South to get young
men and women to volunteer for somo
kind of missionary work abroad or
some deeply Christian work at home.
In a few words ho pointed out the
needs of the world for missionaries
and showed that even though the
Southern Baptist Convention had on
hand $20000000 with which to send
missionaries to foreign lands there
wns no one to be sent.
In terms of tho deepest and most
appealing tenderness ho portrayed the
sublime beauty of a .young Christian
life volunteered for service In the for-
eign fields. Ho begged the Christian
men and women not to disappoint their
'Buddy" their pal their Christ who
lies In "no man's land" with tho one
thought that he. will not be forsaken
by them.
Naturally tho students responded to
his able appeal. Seventeen young
ladles and twenty-ono men volun-
teered for missionary work. Ten of
them classified themselves as being
willing to perform "any service.'1 Six
volunteered as missionaries six more
for general work In foreign fields.
P. G. McPhorson and H. N. Davis ex-
pressed their willingness to become
medical missionaries.
Miss Clara Trout stated that sho
wanted to bo a teacher In Switzerland
while Mr. J. T. Fielder desired "school
work in China."
