three tallies. Johnson also drove
in a trio of runners with his homer
and a single.
Day fanned two batters but
Young turned in seven strikeouts
and took over the league leader-
ship in that department with one
more than the number recorded
by Clyde Mantooth. One of the five
hits permitted by Young came
when a base runner was hit by
a batted ball. Biff Warren got
two hits for Roberts.
The victory gave Reid-Faubion
its third triumph without a set-
back and helped build up tension
for a coming meeting between the
Chevrolets and T-P.

ter it was Cook with two hits and
Vaugtuin with his second home
run of the seasdh who paced the
attack.
Montooth fanned five batters
to give him 25 strikeout victims
in his three games pitched, but he
hit four batters and walked four
more in a siege of wildness. Per-
rin fanned only three men and
walked two, T>ui for the second
time in succession h^received good
support from his teammates a-
field.

T-P S & O 300 342 *—12 9 3
Heavy hitting in the late stages
of the game plus some sloppy
fielding by Slaughter Gas Plant
gave T-P Coal and Oil the first
real upset of the season Thursday
night, a 12%7 triumph over the
Gassers and undisputed posses-
sion of first place in the league.
T-P, generally rated third be-
hind Reid-Faubion and Slaughter
due to the effectiveness of hurl-
ers Bobby Young and Clyde Man-
tooth, showed no respect for the
league’s top strikeout artist, Man-
tooth. After getting themselves
behind 1-9 in the first inning they
took a 3-1 lead on J. D. Robinson's
fourth home run blast of the sea-
son. Thfc Slaughter batters clipped
Bob Perrin for five safeties in the
second inning and took a 5-3 lead.
This was the signal for Perrin to
settle dowy for five innings of
effective pitching.
After having collected eight hits
in the first two frames, Slaughter
was able to get only one more hit
the rest of the way, a home run
blast by Vaughan in the seventh
tinning. Perrin faced 21 batters in
\ne stretch, walking one, seeing
tVo get on base on errors and
tly*ee mofe on fielder’s choices but
not allowing a single hit.
In contrast, Mantooth allowed
T-P but two hits In <V.e first three
innings but in the last half of the
fourth frame he .got his come-up-
pances. Three singles, a walk and
an error provided T-P with three
runs and a 6-5 lead. Slaughter
managed to score in the fifth with-
out the aid of a hit and tied the
game for a few brief moments.
But T-P continued to shell Man-
tooth’s pitching in the fifth, col-
lecting two hits and taking ad-
vantage of three errors as four
straight men bunted and got on
base. Four runs gave them a com-
fortable 10-6 lead and they added
two more insurance tallies in the
sixth on another pair of hits and
an error.
The victory was No. 4 for Per-
rin as well as for T-P. It boosted
their lead over Reid-Faubion to
a full game until the Chevrolets
won the second contest and again
trimmed the margin to a half
game. But, most Important of all,
it removed one challenger for at
least the time being.
J. D. Robinson was again the
big man in the attacks, collecting
two hits and driving in four runs.
Mclnturff walked twice, tripled
and singled in four times at bat.
Perrin scored four of the runs and
was on base every time up with a

In a game that started as a real
pitchers duel and perhaps should
have remained that way, Young
and B. E. Day found themselves in
a 1-0 struggle through three and
one-half innings. Bill Pearcy’s
first inning homer had provided
that run and was the only hit
allowed by Day in the first three
frames. Young alloVed single hits
in the second, third and fourth
frames, all extra base blows but
he continually bore down to get
out of trouble. Bates doubled with
one away in the second but Young
fanned the next batter and got
Railey to bounce out. Warren
doubled to open the third and sec-
onds later stole third base, but
Day tripled to open the fourth
and remained there as Chancy
was safe on a fielder's choice but
Young also weathered this storm.
Bates fanned, Day was thrown
out by the shortstop attempting to
score on a ground ball and Railey
again grounded out.

Worley slammed a home run over
the right center-field fence for the
second hit off Day. Redman then
walked and Elwm Johnson clear-

Day settled down to put out the
fire but he was unsettled as he
walked to the mound in the fifth.
He got two batters out before a

bases and two wild pitches tallied
two more runs. Here Goolsby came
in to relief pitch. He got Fruge on
a bounder, May was caught at
home plate and Mantooth bounced
out. Two scattered hits were the
only solid bingles off Goolsby in
the three innings he worked.
Slaughter Gas Plant, behind the
effective twirling of Clyde Man-
tooth, purled temporarily even
with Reid-Faubion Chevrolet in
second place in the City Softball
League as they smashed McNabb
Gins, 14-5.
But the wildness of McNabb’s
starting pitcher the contest might
have gone to McNabb. A. C. Phil-
lips started on‘the mound in place
of Goolsby who had hurled the
twognevious McNabb games Phil-
lips walked six men and was
smashed for eight solid hits be-
fore he was relieved in the sec-
ond inning with none out. Goolsby
relieved him, retired the first
three batters to face him and
pitched two more innings of shut-
out ball allowing only two hits.
But the Ginners already trailed
14-0 and the four runs they man-
. aged to tally in the third and fifth
Vnnings weren’t enough to keep the
lame going over the regulation
iVute. It was stopped because of
tie 10-run rule as Moreland
struck out with a man on base.
A few seconds earlier the all-
important run might have scored
as Dickey Martin streaked for
third base and the throw went
over Vaughan's head. But Vaugh-
an and Martin collided at third
base and before Martin could get
away Vaughan had located the
ball and caught Martin at home
plate.
Mantooth, in gaining his sec-
ond victory in his personal pitch-
ing feud with Bobby Young,
notched 10 strikeouts to give him
20 in two shortened games. Young
is second in the league with 18.
McNabb picked up five hits in-
cluding doubles by Dickey Mar-
tin and Joe Joplin sandwiched in
between two errors in the third
inning that produced three runs.
The Slaughter slugfest started
in the first inning when second
baseman Moreland booted May’s
grounder. Fruge doubled off the
base of the wall and Archie Cook
slammed a home run. Mantooth
was safe on an error, Vaughan
singled and Stephens walked.
Morrow lined to right for the
first out, but a run scored. Cox’s
single tallied another run and
Brockman’s triple made It 7-0.
He scored on a passed batl but
after the bases were loaded up
agpin, May was nipped at sec-
ond base and Mantooth fanned to
end the eight-run onslaught. '
The first two batters in the
second inning walked, Morrow
ingled, Cox walked and Brock-
man singled scoring runs No. 10
and It. May walked to load the
Levelland Girls Blast
Mission Orange, 29-4
E. M. Barnes’ Levelland girls
softball team, added the second
Lubbock scalp of the season to
their warbelts Tuesday night as
they pounded out a 29-4 triumph
over Mission Orange in an abbre-
viated game.
It was the second time in a row
the local girls unleashed a sav-
age attack to end the game in five
innings because of their tremend-
ous lead. They had previously won
31-1.
Once again, Tuesday, it was
Marie Sisk on the mound for the
triumph and she ran into only one
bad inning, the fifth, when, the
losers bunched three doubles for
a trio of runs. _
