By The Associated Press
The Tulsa Oilers' winning streak
terminated at eight games Tuesday
when the Galveston Buccaneers
stopped them 6 to l. Charlie Wood
southpaw was the victim of an
unusual defeat. He did not have in
earned run scored against him and
allowed only six hits. The Oilers
under the atrfin of the conaecuti/e
winning march that lifted them to
the league pinnacle within a week
cracked and made three glaring
errors that aided in Wood's mound
downfall.
Gibbs limited the league leaders
to five hits. Newsome and Berger
getting two each. Governor. Fausett
ano Moses drove across Galveston's
six runs There was only one extra
base hit. Newsome's double
The Oklahoma City Indians went
or; the warpath for three runs in
the eighth to whip the San Antonio
Missions. 7 to 5. It was a siugfest
with the Indians getting to Htllin
for twelve timely blngles. The Mis-
sions cracked eleven hits off Foci-
ask. King ani Kennedy.
The Beaumont Exporters muster-
<d enough punch in the fifth frame
for a five run rally and a 7 to 2
decision over Fort Worth. Hie vic-
tory was the only one registered
by Besumont ln the four game se-
nes. It stopped Fort Worth's win-
ning streak at three straight.
Gutteridge's double against the
;vr’erfield wall in the ninth with
thi bases loaded gave Houston a
4 to 3 verdict over Dallas The

U. S. Walker Cup
Lineup Decided
ST. ANDREWS. Scotland May 9
—UP)—Capt Francis Ouimet has
decided upon the lineup of his
American squad m the Scotchj
foursomes which open the two-day
Walker Cup golfing series with
Great Britain here Friday.
Satisfied with their performan-
ces in practice. Ouimet has decided
to enter the series with the same
combinations he has used the last
two days. This means Johnny
Goodman will team up with Law-1
son Little. Ouimet with George
Dunlap. Max Marston with Chand-
ler Egan and Gus Moreland' with
Jack Westland.
This lineup leaves Johnny Fischer i
of Cincinnati who drives the long-
est ball on the team and has dis-
played the most consistent scoring
in practice in the role of a spec- i
tator on Friday although he is a
certain starter in the singles Sat-1
urday. Marston probably will not
be used in singles.
It is understood that Ouimet be-
lieves experience of principal im-
portance in foursomes play and
for that reason only Fischer will be
a non-combatant on the opening
day.
The British lineup in foursomes
has not been decided upon but Cy-
ril Tolley and Roger Wethered are
virtually certain to make up one
team. As a pair they have a per-
fect record in Walker Cup four-
somes play teaming up to wallop
Ouimet and Jess Sweetser. 6 and 5.

Are to Battle
In ‘Showdown’
(Special to The Hi-ald-
HARLINGEN. May 0. — Valley
fight fans should see a complete
[showdown between Bill Cabler the
hometown boy with a punch and
Joe Dundee the clever swivel-
backed boxer of Beaumont when
they get together in the ten round
main event of a fight card to be
1 held at the Legion Arena here Fri- j
day night.
Dundee is the more experienced
and is in better condition than the I
Cameron county traffic officer but
Cabier's backers believe that he
will be able to put over a lethal
wallop in the early rounds. They
practically concede the fight to
Dundee if the battle goes over six
rounds
Cabler really packs dynamite in
both dukes and is particularly gcod
with a left hook the blow with I
which Jimmy Finley decisioned
Dundee His right cross flashes
over with lots of smoke.
Word has drifted into the Valley
from Beaumont that Dundee is a
great front runner but that he
curls up under punishment. Cab- I
ler's backers believe that he can
give Dundee lots of punishment in
the early rounds.
Their Records
Dundee has fought ten times in ;
the Valley winning twice by kayos
seven times by decisions and losing i
cne decision His kayo victims I
were "oh-so-tough" Roy Fuentes
and "Ace" King hia decision vic-
tims were Jack Burns. Manuel Zer-
njeno. Tommy Munroe (2> "Ace”
King (3>; and he was narrowly de-
cisicned by Jimmy Finley the vet-
eran
Cabler has donned the mitts
eight times since the fight game
was legalized winning six by kayos i
and two by decisions. His kayo
victims were Jack Does. Bobbv
Cruz. Kid West. Puss Hardin. -Ace%
King and Roy Fuentes. He also
took decisions from Ike Aycock and
Ace” King
The management is expecting a
capacity house because of the ri-
valry which has grown up between
these boys. Dundee looks upon
Cabler as a "home town champ."
and Cabler believes that a few stiff
punches will slow th Beaumont
payaso down to a walk.
