QPORT NOTESBy PAUL MOORE, LIGHT SPORTS EDITOR -Football season will be started In earnest Friday. Corsicana meets Ennis here; State Home journeys to Cleburne, and I. O. O. F. Home goes to Malakoff,L. V. Knott, on© of the best backs developed in this section recently, about whom the baekfield of the State Home is built, will be out for several weeks with a broken arm. Knott will be sorely missed in the Cleburne contest.A big crowd is anticipated at the game here Friday afternoon between the Ennis Lions and the Tigers. Several Bengals are on the injured list, but a good team will be available and plenty of scrap will likely be seen.Horn© run hitters Wednesday Included Wilson, Chicago Cubs, 2; Heathcote, Chicago Cubs; Berger, Boston Braves, 8; Suhr, Pittsburgh; Frlberg, Philadelphia Phillies; Boone, Brooklyn; Hafey, St, Louis Cardinals; AveriU, Cleveland, 4; Akers, Detroit.The Fort Worth Cats took advantage of errors and walks in the eighth inning of the opening game of the Dixie series with the Memphis Chicks in Memphis Wednesday afternoon and won, 4-3, after the Southern association champions had apparently won the game. Three runs were made by the Cats in the eighth inning without a base hit.Notice where Flint Rhem, St. Louis Cardinal pitcher, claims he was taken for a ride by armed men who forced him to drink — — - —- ■+quantity of whiskey. He is out of condition, and his falling from the water wagon does not help the Cardinal cause any. Wonder why Grover Cleveland Alexander did not think of that excuse on one of the occasions he got In trouble in Dallas, or when there were several thousand on hand at Toledo to welcome him after being released by Dallas.Eleven barnstorming games will be played in Cuba after the conclusion of the National league by the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates.As soon as the Ennis game Is behind them, the Corsicana Tigers will begin training hard tor theirinvasion of Greenville next weekwhen the strong class A Lions are to be met in their own den. Greenville is looming as one of the main contenders for the district 5 title this year, and a real tussleIs anticipated when these two teams clash. Greenville has weight, experience and fight this year, according to reliable informationfrom that camp, and the Tigers will have plenty of competition on this occasion.Texas Christian university Horned Frogs, last year's Southwestern conference champions, believe in securing plenty of early season competition as they have two games scheduled for this weekend. The Frogs meet the North will entertain the East Texas Texas State Teachers college Friday at Denton, and on Saturday, State Teachers college in Fort Worth.
