Legion park the Tigers winning the j
; first 3-1 behind excellent hurling
i by Chapa and the Hatters copped
i the afternoon affray 5-3.
The opener was a hurling duel
between Old Reliable" Chapa for
the Tigers and Mart'nez. the Hat-
ters' submarine flinger. Each allow-!
cd but six btnglos. The fielding
and hitting of C. Garcia stcod out
in thus contest.
In the aftemcn game Martinez1
came back to the mound for an
Iron Man McGmty stunt. He held
the Tigers to six blows again and
won his contest. The submarine
delivery seemed to be working even
more smoothly than it did in the
opening game.
Bullet Joe” Salinas started for
I the Tigers but was relieved by Ro- I
cha late in the game. Combined
they allowed nine hits which the j
| Hatters ran into five runs.
Salinas was the star of the sec-
ond game spanking out a home

center fielder parked the pill safe- !
i ly three times out of four tries. One

The Donna Skeet cl ;b. state
champions came back J&unday on
the local range and defeated the
Brownsville club by eight birds out
of a possible 500. The visitors made
“nigger talcum" out of 84 of the
whirling discs while the local ag-
gregation demolished 455 of them
■ hat was a fair brand of shooting.
Donna averaged 23.2 breaks out of
each round of 25: Brownsville 22.75.
• • •
\;:at Skeet shooting is a game of
practice and that much improve-
ment has been wrought in the past
few months is shown by the Sunday
sccrrs. In the past a perfect round
of 25 was unusual—something to
rrowd about. Sunday there were
four perfect rounds and there was
no undue excitement. Arnold limp-
ed his way around to a 25 as did his
fellow teammate. Beard. Jimmy
George of Brownsville banged away
for two perfect rounds.
• • •
There were ten men competing
and the scores ranged from 96 to 89
—within seven buds of each other.
That’s good shooting and compara-
ble. we believe to the average in
other parts of the state. Anderson
of Donna had the best score of the
day. shooting four successive 24 s.
George of Brownsville was second
getting t-'0 25 s. a 23 and a 22.
In a special shootoff match for
these tied with 92 s. Arnold and
Beard each obtained 24’s while Bob
Wade usually Brownsville’s main-
stay. fell off to a 20. Vincent Ste-
venson and Buck Weaver also shot
in this field and broke 24’s.
• • •
Years ago. before the advent of
Skeet. there were two gunners in
Kansas who ran nip and tuck races
at trap shooting. Their names were
Decker and Arnold. They were
amen? the best marksmen in the
central portion of the United States.
Arnold however managed to best
his opponent most of the time.
• • •
Both of them moved to the Val-
ley and took up Skeet. Decker now
holds the whip hand. He manages
to nose out Arnolds most of the
time these days. And don t believe
he doesn't lay on the raspberries.
He downed Arnolds Sunday 93 to 92
and he poured it on Arnold's sore
back from time to time.
• • •
Two good ball games were on
tap here Sunday when the Tigers
and Hatters tied up. splitting a
twin bill. Martinez. Hatter hurler.
proved himself the local "iron man ’
by serving up his slants throughout
both contests. He allowed but six
hits in each of the games. The
first one was dropped 3-1 but he
earned a victory in the second 5-3.
Martinez uses a submarine delivery
that is hard to connect with solid-
ly. His fast one has a ‘way of
screwing down and in while his
curve drifts around in a tantaliz-
ing manner.
• • •
“Bullet Joe" Salinas did not win
his game but his work was out-
standing in the second contest. He
poled one over the palings that
came near to winning the second
game. In addition he spanked out
a double and a single. Clemente
Garcia veteran infielder also
twinkled afield and at the plate.

40000 Fan* See Sunday Win
Over Brooklyn; Major
9’s Play Doubles

(By Associated Press*
The major leagues dipped down
into the minors yesterday for an
idea to bolster box-offices weakened
by the unseemly decision of both
' pennant races in mid-September.
I Games scheduled for later dates at
Boston. Cincinnati and St. Louis
were advanced to manufacture ar-
tificial double-headers as fan bait
Some 15000 Cardinal clients con-
tributed cash to see the Giants per-
form twice at St. Louis but there
■ is no report of any riots before the
I gates of Redland field or Braves
field. Sunday home of the Red Sox.
The Cubs filled Wrigley Field on
a one-game basis and delighted
' their 40.000 customers with a vic-
! tory over Brooklyn 13 to 4. The
result placed the Bruins within one
I victory of the flag and dropped the
i Robins to sixth place below the idle
i Phillies
The Cubs had three chances to-
i day to nail up their flag their own
; game against Brooklyn and the two
!he%Pirates must play against the
hard-swinging Phillies.
Bill Walker pitched masterful
ball against the Cardinals in the
opener to win 4 to 0 on four runs
presented to him by his support
in the very first inning but Larry
Benton failed in the nightcap 6
to 4.
Any designs the Braves may have
had on seventh place were quieted
yesterday when the Reds won both
I halves of the Cincinnati bargain 6
j to 1 and 4 to 3. This double-tri-
umph gave the men of Hendricks
a margin of ten games in seventh
place and a fiRhting chance to
overhaul either the Robins or the
Phillies.
The Pirates and the Phillies were
idle.

The Indians walloped Waite Hoyt

Detroit increased its margin over
Washington to two and one-half
games by winning the first half of

‘NOT TOO OLD’ SAYS MACK;
A’S SHOW FLAG TO PROVE IT
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. I6.-h^-
Connie Mack. 66-y?ar-old manager
who has just guided the Phila-
delphia Athletics Into their seventh
American league pennant was a
lively refutation today of the old
axiom "They never come back”
• Well I guess they have been
shown” Mack said. ‘They kept
telling me I was too old ” He r»-
ferred to the persons in and out of
baseball who showered criticisms
on him during the many years
after 1914 when the Athletics were
not so good. They were quick to
forget Mack s successes in the past
his six league championships and
three world series victories.
"I'm too old. am I?” he contin-
ued. repeating remarks made about
him during the seven straight years
the Mackmen finished in the cel-
j lar. "I guess they won’t be saying
that about me for a while. I'm a
lot older than when I used to hear
it and read it every place I turned.
They advised me to quit to five up
the reins of the club a dozen years
ago. All along the baseball front
I was told I was too old that I
should get oqt and give a younger
man a chance.
' But I'm not ready to step down
just yet. When I meet the man I
think knows more baseball than I
feel I do. then he can have my Job.”
