Revival of western folk lore by
moving picture studios and appar-
ent re-dtocovery of the romantic
history of Texas by scenario writ-
ers, bring many humorous Incon-
gruities to light In efforts to re-
create early customs
Audiences have seen the hero of
a blood and thunder western fire
no less than a doaen allots from a
single pistol without re loading It
would slacken the pace, no doubt,
to have the hero stop and leload
It all makes for exciting movies,
but fact is fact and could it have
been otherwise the history of Tex-
as would have been altered im-
measurably.
For example, In the early skirm-
ishes around San Antonio in 1835
Just prior to Ben Milam's stirring
heroic capture Of the city, the Tex-
ans’ victories were attributed to the
wise woodsmanship of the pioneers
While the Mexicans faced them in
some semblance of formation, the
Texans hid behind brush and trees
and took turns firing at the enemy
In this manner they kept up a
steady barrage of fire out of single
barrel guns by having half their
number re-loading
It gives goose-bumps U> imagine
what dashing William Travis would
have done with a machine gun.

Tiieir ranks are thinned and thin-
ning. and some always falter along
the line of march But the veterans
still parade these warm spring days
to a hallowed mound out in the
center of the major league ball
parks
They were there yesterday—Dto-
sy Dean. Bob Grove, Carl Hubbell,
Tommy Bridges, Lefty Gomes, Ted
Lyons and Fred Fitsslmmons
They were there the day before
Ctiarley Ruffing. Larry French.
Schoolboy Rowe Anc| they’ll be
there again—Wee FenMIl, Willis
Hmfilnj, Earl Whlte,Ul| 'Charley
Root and a handful of others
Most of them have been tn the
big show from 10 to 15 years and
their names are as familiar in
many households as that of the
family dog or cat. That Is why
every new triumph and every blt-
tear defeat is a personal emotion
shared ,by fans throughout
country
Old Diz. for Instance, started a
National league game Sunday for
the first time this season and man-
ufactured a stirring three-hit, 4-0,
shutout of the Boston Bees for the
Chicago Cubs
Dean is only 28 years old and this
Is just iiis eighth season in the
majors, but lie is a throwback to
that other era when pitcher could
and did win 30 games in a sea-
son TTiere Is no likelihood that
he ever will do that again but he
showed that the Cubs still stand
to get a lot of good from 3186,000
pitching arm.
Grove Bests Bridges
Grove, who came into the Ameri-
can League 15 years ago and still
tak.es a turn once a week for the
Boston Red Sox, bested Bridges
in what was a hot pitching battle
for five innings—until some of the
younger Red Sockets cut loose for
an 8-3 rout which was Detroit's
fifth straight setback Grove got
himself a home run to enhance
the occasion

TTwoiks to the Shrewport Bporto,
the Dallas Rebels are atUl on top
of the Texas League
The Rebels wont down 4-1 and
6-3 to Fort Worth’s Cat* in a dou-
ble-header yesterday and had their
lead cut to half a game A Hous-
ton win would have put Dallas in
second place and given the Buffs a
victory string of five straight, but
Shreveport took can of Dallas' In-
terests. The Sport* beat Houston
5-1
Bobby Coombs of the Sports had
his knuckle ball behaving, his
mates found the offering* of Buff
Hurler Murry Dickson to their’ lik-
ing, and they piled up the winning
scoie in the first two Innings before
toward Pallet supplanted Dickson
and stopped the counting.
McClaren caught an inside pitch
and dropped a Texas Leaguer into
left field to score a tenth Inning
run which eked an 11-10 win for
Beaumont over Ban Antonio, while
Tulsa walloped Oklahoma City 10-2
In a tdilight game, then lost the
second of a double bill 6-3.
The Rebels were unable to solve
consistently the offerings of Eld
Greer, who outpltched Beryl Rich-
mond In the first game, or the vet-
eran Fred Marberry, who shaded
Sal Gllatto In the second.
Cazen Gela Horner
Walter Cazen of Dallas clouted a
homer for the Rebel's only score
in one gafe, and hit another in
the second, each time with none
aboard. Jim Levey of Dallas homer-
ed in the second game
San Antonio went into the ninth
inning trailing Beaumont by two
run*, but after two were out tied it
up at ten-all.

Unfortunately, Samuel Colt nev-
er got around to inventing his re-
volver until 1835 and was not pat-
ented or manufactured until 1837 It
was a crude weapon with six cham-
bers in a revolving cylinder and had
to be cocked by hand By 1870 re-
volvers were of the breech-loading
type Smith and Wesson later de-
veloped one tiiat was self-ejecting

Pitching one of the best games
this season, Dude Pearson bore
down under a hot sun to handcuff
the visitors He had perfect con-
trol and hto curves were breaking
in nice fashion. Had not two error*
let two men get on he might have
shut out the Parrots very easily
Neither team could score In the
first two innings, but In the third
irame Poly took advantage of some
loose fielding by the Cubs to push
across three runs. Fltxgerald sin-
gled to left to start the Inning He
was sacrificed to second and went
to third when Atkins let Fletcher’s
hot bounder go through him. and
scored when Meredith dropped
Belrman's long fly Manager Lin-
ville then smashed a terrific drive
down the third base line for a triple
to count two more Denton got two
of these back in the fourth when
Atkin* singled past third and Mere-
dith doubled to right, and both
scored as Nix and Harper grounded.
In the fifth the Cubs tied up the
ball game as Hogan doubled to left-
center and tallied when Sterley
threw tiie ball away trying to
throw out Moses at first. The sixth
inning saw the locals forge ahead
when Meredith singled through the
middle, stole second, galloped to
third on a wild pitch, and cross the
plate when Harper bounced a hit
off the pitcher’s glove
Atkin* and Meredith led the Den-
ton offenae, while Brown turned in
a beautiful, running backhanded
catch of a terrific smash in the i
eighth Fitzgerald hit safely twice '
for Poly.
Dude Pearson sent 12 batters!

Chicago Cuba are going to be hard
to live with from now on and Dtoxy
Dean to responsible for the added
Mat and aggressiveness In their drive
to retain the National League pen-

It al) happened yesterday after-
noon Dean, starting hto tint game
of the season, turned in a pitching
maallarptece He set the Boaton
Bees down With three hit*, toaued
no walks and struck out two men
to give the Cuba their first shut-
out of the year. 4 to 0.
The lanky. 28-year-old hurler us-
ed only 74 pitches sligthly less than
an average of 2 and a half balls to
each batter
"I felt fine all the way," said Dto-
xy. often mentioned as an 8185.000

“When I get a start on a hot
day I can't figure how anybody
will get on base It was 50 degree*
when I went five Inning* last Tues-
day and It was plenty chilly Sun-
day. Bo far. I raven't really got
warmed up.
"From now on I won't have to
back in to get my pay check the
ftr*t and ISth of the month "
There was much enthusiasm man-
Lfseted by the Cubs as they let it
be known that Dean apparently
was ready to take a riguiar turn
on the mound with BUI Lee. Larry
French and Clay Bryant—the letter

TTiey pointed to hto brilliant show-
ing against the Bees following an
almost equally creditable perform-
