James did so well for Omaha in the old Western league in 1927 and 1928 that he was purchased by the Boston Braves where he performed as regular second baseman in 1929. In 1930, the Braves sent him to Newark, where he was a star under Tris Spaker. He returned to the Braves in 1931.

Monday night by score of 58 to 46, and that is no surprise to anyone, becau.se TCU now 15 in a and before playing lors loses 14 in a row. Anv team that I onc II in a row has no noxs thump-thumping its way to victory over young Baylor team at Perhaps, however, it is an upset when Bears defeat Aggies at Aggieland, although it passing strange to call a victory over gies basketball an upset, because for many, manv years. gies have big struggle on their hands to keep out of basketball cellar, giving up struggle in a few of years, and staying down I in cellar.

However, Bears go to Houston and lose to Rice, and a few nights later. Aggies knock Owls colder than an Alaskan well digger. So if it is no when Aggies defeat Baylor, then it has to be a big upset when Rice wins from Bears. Confounds Up in Minneapolis they quote odds on all basketball games being played from coast to coast, being very good at it, so we are very anxious to learn of odd' they quote on Baylor of Friday night with Farmers, because' dope on left hand reads that should win, and dope on light hand says Baylor going to win, Baylor Wvin Aggies at College Station, and generally shaking that not to rio, but generally speaking, it is for Baylors to win from Aggies in Waco than at College Station. On other hand.

Rice team which does not have too much trouble in defeating Baylors at Houston, loses to Aggies by 13 unlucky points at College Station, so from that comparison. Aggies are favorites over Bears, but for my dope I am going to take Baylor's performance against Aggie- at College Station, and not performance against Owls and showing against Aggies. Therefore I am picking to win by at least four or five bounces. I also will risk my great reputation by going out on a fragile limb and predicting that on no than five occasions during hot ball game. Baylor fans are going to boo the officials.

Also will predict that never during game will Baylor fans chant: "Hold That Line." Too Often lami Fall Every time Baylors get trouble in football last fall, Baylor students chant: That and since Baylors are in trouble most of time in football last fall, lots of neutral fans begin to wonder if that is only yell that Baylor has. Attorney General Price Daniel, who is once a Bavlor student, thinks Baylor should eliminate that chant, thus scribe agrees with him. Students are really to help team their yells, out Tha: yell is only a reminder to that it in trouole, anil it never needs to be reminded of fart. It nearly always knows wften it us to hold that line Best thmg about game of round aaJu. as we see it.
