statement breathed the very air of
optimism, For Betts wasn’t able to
help Fort Worth. In fact, it-was sel-
dom that he finished a ball game that
he started for the Cats, -the Texas
league hitters taking a fancy to his
offerings. Even Wacc knocked him
out of the box, and that fact probably
hastened his departure. Whenever a
team has a new pitcher, he is usually
tried out against Waco. Three Dal-
las hurlers have made their debut
against the Cubs this year, and it was
against the Cubs that Dicky Kerr
made his debut. Incidentally the first
game Kerr pitched for the Cats was

Jack Stansbury, former manager of
