Scores fell below the usual aver-

Mrs. Jesse Pearl Homeyer contin-

A friend asked us the other day
why “Hack” Miller was playing
with both the Houston and Dallas
clubs this season. The reason is
because there are now two men by
that name in the league, the Buffs
having secured theirs about three
weeks ago from the Pacific coast.
Both of the men played in the
game Friday. Lawrence "Hack”
Miller, of Houston, the strong man
of baseball, hit once off Mike Col-
lins in the game while Dallas Hack,
leader of the league in home runs.
Went hitless.
Jess Petty, the old Brooklyn Rob-
in hurler, has been suspended in-
definitely for breaking training
rules, and has retired to Brooklyn
from St. Louis where the Robins
are playing a series with the Car-
dinals. The other day Jess pitch,
ed against the Cards and was
knocked out of the box for the
first time in his career. His man-
ager charged him with staying out
over midnight, pasted him $100 and
told him to go home.

the Terrors than they were against

ERRELL, July 17.—Interdoocin’ to you Terrell
folks Mr. R. H. “Bob” Minty, the newest hurler
on the skaff of the Austin Senators, who hails
from the sunny climes of California and who is
just itching to get started against some team in
the Texas Association. Unless Skipper Charlie
Miller of the Senators, changes his mind, that
Terrell crew is one on whom he will get to do
that on. Jimmy Maloney, guardian angel of the
Terrors—only he isn’t an angel—didn’t know just who he would
send to the mound he was so perturbed after the way Carl

Mission, Texas, is now in the
Gulf Coast league following the
transfer of the franchise by Arbi-
trator John Farrell of the national
professional baseball association,
from Kingsville to Mission. The
Kingsville populace failed to sup-
port the club while Mission wanted
to get in the game and therefore
the change. The first game played
by the new club on theil home
diamond resulted in a 8-0 shutout
over Laredo.
Seems like Friday must just be
a lucky day for the boys in the
Littlejohn family. Carlisle Little-
john, Houston Buffalo hurler and
an uncle of Carl Littlejohn who
hurled the victory over Terrell yes-
terday, won a 14-inning battle
from the Dallas Steers at the same
time by a score of 4 to 3. Only
five hits were gathered off of Lit-
tlejohn by the terrible elugging
Steers.

Quite a number of high school
coaches over the"state have already
signified their intention of attend-
ing the St. Edward's coaching school
which Coach John F. Meagher will
open on Aug. 1. Coach Meagher

whom attended last year when
Knute Rockne conducted it. in the
Notre Dame system of playing
football. Meagher was himself a
football player under Rockne back
several years ago and was chosen
as an All-American end by Walter
Camp during his college career,
Meagher plans to present his
coaching somewhat like Rockne did.
laying emphasis on the actual
demonstration of the technique of
the system, giving as much prac-
tical work as possible. Among the
coaches who have already sigmified
their intention of attending the
school there are “Mule Frasier,
coach of Alamo Heights, Ban An-
tonio; A. J. Robinson, Rusk Col-
lege, Rusk; Charles D. Reese of
San Saba! J. B. Head of Sulphur

arkana schools; B. Z. Hughes, Waco
schools; and Henry Frnka, Garwood
high. Many others are expected to
put in their applications within the
next two weeks for the school.
The East Texas league is having
a hard fight this year just as the
association is, Greenville and Tex-
arkana have been having some
fight for first place the last few
daye and now Texarkana hag just
about crawled Into the lead, with
only a half game separating them
from the top. Greenville lost and
Texarkana won Friday. That league
i% playing just a little bit better
ball this year than they usually
have and many declare that it has
an edge over the association. The
winner of the playoff in the Texas
association and in the East Texas
league, will stage a playoff at the
close wf the season. That is one
of the reasons the standing* of that
league le being carried every day
by this paper.
The New York Yankees, who pa-
raded 10 games ahead of the Amer-
ican league pack a €ew weeks ago,
today felt the hot breath of a des-
perate sprint by Connie Mack's Ath-
letics to close the diminishing gap
between the two clubs.
The margin was shortened to five
and one-half games yesterday with
a double barreled victory by Phil-
adelphia over St. Louis while the
Hugmen were barely escaping an-
other defeat at the hands of the
Tigers. Third inning batting ral-
lies accounte for both Mackian
triumphs th© first by 3 to 2 and
the second by 5 to 4.
The Athletics now have won 12 of
their last 14 games as against five
out of 13 for the Yanks. Ehmke,
obtained recently from Boston in a
trade, finally has come through to
support the mound efforts of Lefty
Grove and Eddie Rommel, the for-
mer Hub piteher’yesterday turning
in one of his best performances.
He allowed the Browns only six
scattered hits.
Babe Ruth led the Yankees’ suc-
cessful ninth-inning stand against
the Cobbmen, which started a three-
run rally to turn the tide in favor
of New York, 4 to 1 A double by
Combs, Lazorri’s triple and Dugan's
single did the rest.
It the only other American league
game, Levsen outpitched Walter
Johnson to blank th© Senators, 8
to 0. Fifteen binglee caromed from
the Indian’s clubs, Jamieson lead-
ing the bombardment with four cafe
blows.

Jess Petty yesterday. Jess was sus-
pended indefinitely for alleged neg-
lect of training rules.
Seven runs in a second inning
batting assault clinched the Pirate
victory over th© Braves. A home
run by Rhyne with two on and a
triple by Waner which cleared the
sacks featured the rally.
Littlejohn whipped his star man,
Newman all over the lot.
Jimmy has grown quite grouchy
within the pact week or two, for
reasons known all over the league.
His club is now pushing up daisies
in the cellar floor, whereas in the
first half it was eitner Austin or

fighting it out to the very last

putting th© bleacher stands in posi-
tion on th© sldelines, according to
an announcement made by Supt,
A. N. McCallum. The football field
this year 1s being laid off directly
north and south, making it some-
what different than in former
years. Five sections of stands
formerly used by the University of
Texas on Clark Field have been
purchased by the high school of-
ficials and are being put in place
for the fall season.
What if Grandpa is down at
Brenham gathering eggs on a
chicken farm, mending a coop or
two and then going out and play-
ing ball. Or what if several mem-
bers of the Longhorn squad are
working and playing ball at the
same time? Doubtless some of the
Baylor ball players are doing the
same thing. The rule does need
mending, it is true, so that college
boys will be able to get out and
play ball to their heart's content
just so long as they don't get too
mercenary with their talent. Look
at the situation. Wood is a great
pitcher, and will be next year in
the southwest conference; the
Longhorns are always recognized
as the best in the circuit. Uh
huh, wouldn’t it do Baylor and
some of the other schools a lot
of good to have Wood on the
ineligible list as well as make it
necessary for Coach Disch to build
up practically a new team. Fight
it out, boys, only remember that
you were once supposed to be
friends.
An all-Texas professicnaf foot-
ball team will play in the eastern
states this fall and winter is the
present plans of Jim Kendrick, at
one time a famous athlete in Texas,
work out as they are figured now.
Kendrick will manage a pro grid
team in Buffalo, New York, this fall
and he says that he will have only
players on it who have been stars
on Texas athletic teams. He is
spending the summer umpiring in
the Rio Grande valley baseball
league.
Already signed up to go with
Kendrick for the venture are such
stars as Heine Pfannkuche, star
center on the 1926 Longhorns; Wes-
ley Bradshaw, George Kirk, Cop
Weathers and Blaylock, all of the
Baylor university, 1923, gridiron
squadron that won the Southwest
conference title; Fay Wilson,
“Bones” Irvin, and Neely Allison of
the Texas Aggies, three of the best
athletes the Farmers have had in
recent years; Schwartz of Centen-
ary; Joe Bailey Chaney of Howard
Payne, one of the fastest men in
the southwest: Roy White of Dan-
iel Baker; Edmunton of Trinity
university; Nairn of th© Rice insti-
tute freshmen, and George Watters,
famous SMU tackle.
Kendrick has already had plenty
of experience in the ranks of pro-
fessional football, having played last
season with the Buffalo club, meet-
ing such players as "Red" Grange
and the Chicago Bear© boasted, be-
sides tackling several all-American
men before the season was over.
Coming from Texas, he is a firm
believer in the material that his
state produces and he will attempt
to prove it with his all-Texas team
this fall.
BY FD HUGHES.
There are tricks to every trade,
j and that of the squared circle has,
in the past, been well stocked with
them. However, according to an
cld member of the Fiv© Knuckles
fraternity, the game boasts of less
colorful trickery, and, therefore,
fewer picturesque tricksters, than
at any time since Jim Figg began
to talk fight in the Fives Court.
“The scrappers of today,” la-
mented the old-timer, “are fighters
pure and simple—not always pure,
but for the better part indisputably
simple. They are willing to box
or bang away until something drops,
but the old strategems of the ring
seem to have fallen into disuse.
"Some of the tricks that used to
flavor the fighting in the old days
could never get by the strict dis-
cipline of boxing commissions that
new run the game. And it is just
as well they can’t. For instance, I
am reminded of a bit of scrapping
that I witnessed on the coast some
years ago. Two lusty lads who
fought at about th© welter limit
were battling it out in a semi-final
bout. They had gon© a round with-
out inflicting any damage to speak
of... The second came along, and
one, whom we shall dub Battling
Cyanide, scored with a sizzling
righthander to the shoulder ‘o his
opponent. The latter was knocked
reeling to the ropes. The crowd
gasped at the spectacle of Battling
Cyanide jarring anyone, even a
round-heel like this vis-a-vis. On
past performances he could not
even have made his presence felt.
“It was said, with some founda-
tion for the accusation, that he
could not slug his way out of a
paper bag. The ’push-over’ raged
back at Cyanide, only to receive a
haymaker flush on the chin. He
went out like a light, nd stayed so
for many minutes.
The Silver Dollar Trick.
“The club official* demanded that
Cyanide strip off his gloves, which
he reluctantly did, urged by a
couple of John L. Laws. And be-
hold! Carefully wrapped in the
Japing of his right paw. nestled
against the palm of his hand where
it could not cut him, was a nice,
new silver dollar. And if you do
not believe a silver dollar carefully
secreted in th© palm of the hand
can increase the voltage of the sock
try pounding your hand, first empty
and then with a half dollar in it.
Similar unfair advantages were oft-
en practised in the old days. Small
piece* of lead were sometimes used
in preference to the half dollar.
Horseshoes and even brass knuckles
now and then found their way into
gloves.
"However, there was plenty of
legitimate trickery then in fashion
fandom likes It* heroes crowned-,
with a spectacular rally in the last
five rounds of the 15-round struggle
after Paul Berlenbach appeared to
be closing in to duplicate the pow-
erful finish he made last December
against Delaney.
Delaney's impressive exhibition of
ring craft, punishing power and
stamina was a triumph over a tre-
mendous weight sdvantage, sur-
mounted. despite the fracturing of
a small bone In his left thumb dur-
ing the second round.
While officially the weight of
Berlenbach was recorded as 174 1-4
and that of Delaney as 166%, post-
ponement of the fight one day he-
cause of rain actually gave the.de-
fending titleholder a margin of 12
pounds over his opponent. When

LITTLEJOHN LUCKY
OR JUST GOOD?
Carl Littlejohn, the chuckling
hurler on the payroll of the Austin
Senators is a problem to many fol-
lowers of the sport. He won his
game 9-6 from the Terrors in the
opening game of th© series Friday
afternoon, and in many instances
he has won games where all other
pitchers on the staff of the Austin
club have failed. “Just luck,” say
some; others give him a share of
both ability and luck, while many
more say he is good. His fast
straight ball seemingly coming
straight across the plate, must have
semething on it or the sluggers in
" the league could certainly connect
with it Well, 9-6 against Harold
Newman isn’t bad at all.
Besides hurling a nice game with
the exception of the ninth inning,
when the Terrors put five men
across the plate, Carl aided his own
cause considerably by coming up in
the second frame with the bases
choked and connecting for a home
run, his second of the season. This
gave the Senators a four-run lead
over th© Terrors and started the
scoring off in the game. Bunched
hits accounted for four mor© in
the next frame, while on© more was
added in the sixth to complete the
Senator tallying.
Th© Rub© and th© Mallet.
“Champions who used to hit the
road meeting all corners and agree-
ing to knock them out within four
rounds, were often obliged to util-
ize some rough methods to com-
pass the downfall of a stubborn
'hick.’ Most of these fights were
held on a stage with the usual
scenery forming the background.
Not infrequently the champ, in or-
der to make a sure thing of the
proposition, secreted a handler with
a mallet in hand behind th© stage.
The idea, then, was to so maneuvre
the battle that the stranger's head
would come in contact with th© cur-
tain. A sharp rap on the dome
from behind—and th© champion had
scored another quick knockout.
"Rubbing grease on the body, in
order that blows might glance off
without inflicting heavy hurts, was
mother favorite trick of the old
days. I remember one colored fel-
low on the coast who tried that
stunt with Sam Langford. He had
heard a great deal of Sam's ter-
rible punching power and, wishing
to nullify it, took pains to saturate
his body above the belt with goose
grease. That was a mistake. He
should have purchased a bullet-
proof vest. Sam scented the trick.
In the first mix he unleashed a
mighty blow which ploughed
through his opponent's body almost
to the spine for a k. o. It took
more than goose grease to thwart
Langford’s punch.
In our way of thinking they ar©
both wrong, radically wrong. So
there, we have more room for ar-
gument. It is noble of DuBose to
take the side of the players such
as Grandpa Wood and others; it
is not so good for Jinx to go
against them, although he may be
pointing out some things which it
would do good to correct. But at
the same time it would be much
better if they would hush up on
the issue and say nothing. It can
only make matters worse than they
are now and it will certainly not
benefit the situation any—all this
talking about it.

Inquiries regarding Jack Meag-
her’s school for football coaches in-
dicate that some two dozen Texas
colleges and high school* will em-
ploy the Knut© Rockne style of play
during the coming fall, according
to the St. Edward’s coach.
Meagher has just returned from
a trip to Chicago and Notre Dame,
and he has made himself acquaint-
ed with the latest developments in
th© Rockne system.
Coach Rockne has expressed his
pleasure that Meagher will continue
this summer the work which he
himself started a year ago, when
he and Doc A. A. Meanwell gave a
combined football and basket ball
coaching school at St. Edward's.
According to Meagher a number of
the men who attended Rockne’s
course last summer have notified
the Saint coach that they are com-
ing back again this year.
“One man who has already at-
tended three Rockne courses is
coming back this summer to get a
more intimate acquaintance with
the details of the system,” Meag-
her said.
In a letter to Meagher, Coach
Rockne had the following to say:
“You may say for me that I re-
gret very much my inability to be
at St. Edward's again this summer,
but I am delighted that you ar©
going to continue th© work we com-
menced a year ago.
“Your knowledge of th© Notre
Dame system, gained as a player
on the Notre Dame and by renew-
ed contact at several summer
courses, amply qualifies you to pass
on th© details of th© play to th©
coaches of th© southwest."
Meagher’s course yill open on
Aug. 1 and will continue to the
12th. The work will embrace both
lectures and demonstrations on the
gridiron, with the emphasis on the
latter phase, Meagher said.

The dethroned king held his title
only a little more than a year but
his brief career was an eventful one
and he achieved the reputation of
being the most active champion in
pugilism.
Delaney, 26 years old and a
French-Canadian by birth, haa been
boxlug sine© 1818, to compile a
record studded with notable knock-
out triumpha and two stunning de-
feats. In 1122, he was twice
stopped—one© by Aug;© Ratner by
Young Fisher. But a year later De-
lanev redeemed himself by •out-
pointing Ratner. While Fisher fad-
ed into obscurity as Delaney rap-
idly climbed the ladder.
Delaney's share of last night's
fight is estimated at 870,000. Ber-
lenbach received something more
than $150,000. During his career in
the ring Berlenbach collected a
qnarteremillion dollars. He sima to
enter the heavyweight ranks, hav-
ing found it alm og. impessible to
train down to 175 pounds.
Our idea of good sport during
these hot summer months i* to
sleep out on the roof of B hall, the
vniversity dormitory which has
been causing so much disturbance
around here lately. The boys all
declare it’s very cool there, the
only objection being that it takes
too much mosquito lotion to sleep
peacefully. And above all. they
can dream about the great victory
achieved- over the authorities.

club will hold its first real get-

the Camp Mabry range Sunday
morning, according to an an-
nouncement made by President B.
J.«Rupert. Club members will meet
on the 200-yard out 1 cor range for
the regular bi-monthly shoot and a
general review of the club taken to
date.
Besides the regular shpot, all guns
belonging to the club will be gone
over and cleaned up and a general
inventory of all materials on hand
will be taken. A dual match with
an out-of-town team is being con-
templated by the officers of the

in th© organization have reached
enough proficiency to compete. The
club, which is a comparatively new
one, has been making very good

NEW YORK, July 17. — The
world’s light heavyweight ring
erown, jolted from championship
heads five times in the last six
years, found a new resting place
today atop the handsome counte-
nance of Jack Delaney of Bridge-
port. Conn., whose real name is
Chapdelaine Ovila.
A sensational victory under the
unanimous decision of the judges
brought th© roving diadem to De-
laney before a capacity throng of
45,000, which paid 3420.000 to see
the rivals of two years’ standing
battle at Ebbets field for the third
time.
Th© verdict for Delaney, who
only seven months before had failed
to lift the championship from his
rugged rival, was as popular as only
such a victory could be for a ring
warrior who had gathered around
TAMPA, FIna-- Pedro Campo,
Philippine Islands, beat Hilario
Martines, lightweight champion of
Spain, (16).

TOO MANY
HITS AND RUNS.
It wasn't so much of a game, with
both sides earning 12 hits, and
with the Senators committing two
errors and the Pale one, but the
nice rally by the home team in
the last frame did much to pep up
the proceedings and keep the crowd
interested. Everyone on the
Senator line-up was marked down
with a hit with the exception of
Charlie Miller, who went hitless out
of four trips to the plate. Bill
Speer was the outstanding hitter
of the day getting three bingles and
two runs out of four times up. One
