NORDHEIM. April 28.—The N3rd-
The rather undecided Cuero High
School Gobbler baseball team have
another fling at the national pas-
time at the Park Stadium this af-
ternoon after a putrid exhibition on
Wednesday. Today they tangle
with the San Marcos Baptist Acad-
emy nine, with whom they haven't
played in about ten years. Time
was when the Academy was always
on the Gobbler roster for a couple
of games, but baseball was discon-
tinued here for a six or eight year
period and contact with the San
Marcos school was lost. There is
still some doubt in my mind wheth-
er baseball in the schools has been
resumed yet. after watching the
schoolboys play a few times.
Be that as it may. the Academic
crew is expected to arrive here
shortly after noon and will be giv-
ing the Gobblers plenty of trouble
along about four p. m. The Gob-
blers still have a bit of equipment to
pay for so it is hoped that a fair
crowd will be on hRnd to witness the
game.

For the first time in more than
j two months the two remaining track
j performers on the Cuero High
! School squad will have a holiday
this week-end. For eight succes-
sive weeks, Gobbler tracksters have
taken part in meets of one nature
or another and all have trained dili-
gently. Still eligible for Interschol-
astic League competition are two of
the most dependable performers on
the squad—Lewis Mayne and Wiley
Cheatham. All sports these lads
enter are taken seriously by them
both and that may account for the
fact they are still in the competi-
tion.
This pair will enter the State
Meet at Austin May 6 and 7, with
Mayne taking part in the 100-yard
dash, the 220-yard dash and the
discuss throw and Cheatham doing
a bit of javelin hurling. Mayne and
Cheatham, by virtue of their show-
ing in the Regional Meet in Kings-
ville last week end, are eligible to
t^ke part in the above mentioned
events at the state meeting.
Both are football lettermen and
on Monday will probably join team-
mates in football spring training now
underway at the school.

Many golfers of this city are tak-
ing advantage of the fine course out
at the Municipal Park since it was
officially thrown open a week ago.
Some are complaining about the
greens, but, I feet they are doing as
well as could be expected. Regard-
less of their feelings, many sharp-
shooters visit the site daily and
seem to be content with the set-up
which is improving daily.

Swimmers are also beginning to
realize it is summer time again and
the crowd in the tank is increasing
daily. A flock of school kids visited
the pool the day before it was of-
ficially opened to start off the sea-
son and a goodly crowd has been
out there every day when the weath-
er was warm enough. The water
this year seems to be a bit cooler
than it was last season, a fact
which should have a tendency to in-
crease the number of swimmers this
summer.*
A group of schools boys Thursday
night had a water polo game in the
tank and from our inspection of the
game, we’ll remain in the sports
writing business. That is one of
the roughest game we’ve ever watch-
ed. if this group were playing ac-
cording to the rules.
