Ideals are like the stars, you can
not touch them with your hands, but
like the sea faring men on the desert
of waters, you choose them as your
guides, and following them you reach
your destiny.
Somebody scoffed “Oh you’ll never
■ do that—
At least no one ever has done it”
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat
And the first thing you knew he’d
begun it
With a lift of his chin and bit of a
grin
If any doubt rose he forbid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing.
That couldn’t be done and he did it.
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with a trace
of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn’t be done and he did
it.

Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done and you’ll do it.

There are thousands to tell you it can-

There are thousands to prophesy

There are thousands to point out

The 1928 Baytown Oilers will start,
spring training about February fif-
teenth, and prospects for a great ball
club were never brighter than they
are at present. Jack Shires, slugging
first baseman, is the new playing
manager. Jack succeeds John Henry,
whose physical condition will not per-
mit his playing ball this season. It
is probable that John will return to
The “Old Timer’s” Dance held Feb-
ruary 1st was a big success from
every standpoint. All the old timers
were there and a great many who
were not so old, and eyery body had
a big time. “Pop’s Gang” furnished
the tunes, and made a big hit with
the dancers.
The Baytown Humble Club announc-
ed a Valentine Dance on Thursday,
February 16th. This dance is to be a
fancy dress affair, and it is expect-
ed to prove the gala social event of
the winter season. Already many of
those who attended the Old Timer’s
dance have expressed their intention
of making the big Valentine affair.
“Pop’s Gang” is going right ahead
making preparation for the coming
dance, and it is going to have some
special stunts for the occasion. Th’,
dance will be held on Thursday even-
ing instead of the usual Wednesday,
because of the fact that “The Shep-
herd of the Hills” is being shown
on Tuesday and Wednesday, February
14th and 15th.

hoped that all the preliminary de-

ceeds W. G. Lopas as business mana-
ger, owing to Lopas resignation from
that post last week.
Several new faces will greet local
fans when the Oilers get started in the
coming campaign. Masterson, short-
stop, played a few games with Bay-
town about two seasons ago, and his
fine work is recalled by many. He
is a fast young ball player with all
kinds of experience in organized ball.
The same is true of Claud Bryan,
newly acquired out fielder. Other new
players include Hickman and Buch-
anik, both of whom are sure to add
power to an already powerful club.

The long looked for lunch wagon
started on its daily rounds through
the plant last week, carrying all sorts
of nourishment calculated to pull a
fellow through the long hours be-
tween an early breakfast and lunch
time. It is also calculated to help
out a cold lunch with a cup of hot
coffee, which—according to some of
the wagon patrons—is some help. The
lunch wagon is operated by E. J.
(Shorty) Powdrill, of Dormitory din-
ing room fame. Mr. Powdrill states
that he intends doing everything pos-
sible to extend the service in his new-
est venture.
