Dodgers To Play
Codgers Tonight
At Pilot Point ’
PILOT POINT (Special) — The
second baseball game of the sea-
son will be unreeled at the local
baseball diamond tonight between
the North Side Dodgers and the
South Side Codgers. The two teams
made up of business men, played
their first game last spring, the
Dodgers having nosed out the
Codgers 6 to 8 in five innings of
play.
The South Side manager, Don
Underwood, recently challenged
North Side Manager Claude Sitzes
to ‘another game and states that
he and his team feel that some
close plays caused them to lose
the game and that they are cap-
able of pinning back the ears of
their opponents.

The hopeful college football play-

in the National Football League
or, say, $10,000 a season, may
wind up by beating his brains out
in exhibitions for 310 or 815 a week
— or for nothing more than a
chance to make the team.
He may collect quite a bit more,
in-some cases, but he'll soon learn
that he's being paid for 18 or 19
games a season instead of just the
12 shown on the regular schedule.

If Milwaukee is starting to show
the strain of pressure, as some
folks say, someone forgot to tell
the Braves about it. Particularly
Bobby Thomson, Hank Aaron and
Johnny Logan.
They looked as though they
didn’t have a care in the world
last night, protecting their two-
game National League with a
comeback 11-5 waltz over the
pesky Philadelphia Phillies. Thom-
son's seventh major league grand-
slammer tied it in the fourth and
Aaron and Logan then homered
as the Braves ran away with the
decision by scoring seven in the
fifth.
Sooners will fail for the twelfth
time.
Wild running Wahoo McDaniel
of Midland and talented quarter-
back Charley Milstead of Tyler
head up a blistering Texas of-
fense that's >a resounding favorite.
Oklahoma was worried about its
ace quarterback. David Cross of
Oklahoma City Northeast, who
spent the night in a hospital try-
ing to get rid of a cold. He's
slated to start the game but may
not be up to usual strength.
The Sooners are pinning their
hopes on a hard-running backfield
featuring Buster Hobby of Midwest
City, considered by many as the
top schoolboy player of all time
in Oklahoma.
' In the history of the series,
Oklahoma has never been able to
win a game but played a 6-6 tie
in 1954 and the year before out-
played the Texans although losing
20-19. Last year Texas won 7-0,
cashing in on a fumble.
Sam Caudle of Abilene heads up
the Texas line. He also will cap-
tain the team with McDaniel and
Milstead as co-captains. Hobby
and Billy Jack Moore of' Ada, a
guard, are co-captains for Okla-
homa.

Both are expected to weigh
around 182 pounds.

and limited Coca Cola to 3 hits as
Taliaferro beat Coke Thursday
night in the nightcap game of the

Although Ray registeredonly one
strikeout, two double plays by his

him.
Roy Richter of Taliaferro had a
big night at the plate as he slam-
med- three hits in four times at
bat, including a double, and a pair
of singles.

The Texas League baseball writ-

Davis has been a manager for
eight years, serving Greenville,
Corpus Christi and Paris. Tex.,

to enhance his standing as the
135-pound division ruler. While
Brown is ranked only eighth

as a prime test.

This situation came to light the
other day when players of the Los
Angeles demanded pay for exhi-
bition games and threatened to sit
out Friday's game against the
Cleveland Browns unless they got
it. They asked $75 a week for vet-
'erans and $50 for rookies during
the exhibition season.
0 course, the clubs provide liv-
ing quarters and meals — not a
minor consideration in the case of
a 265-pound tackle — and usually
hand out what the Giants' Emlen
Tunnell calls "walkin' around
money." And players badly in need
of cash usually can obtain loans
or advances on their salaries from
the dubs.
An Associated Press survey to-
day revealed that only two of the
12 NFL dubs pay more than token
amounts as spending money dur-
ing the training season But only
one, besides Los Angeles, would
admit having had any trouble
with players over these payments.

In the Junior Teen-Age League's

IOOF downed Optimists 5-2 behind
Don Cockrell’s four-hit pitching.
Cockrell allowed Optimist runs
to cross the plate in the second
and fourth innings, after his team-
males had piled up a four-run lead
in their half of the first.

$25 a week "The system just
didn’t work out,” a Steeler spokes-
man said. “One year, the night
before the first scrimmage. about
a dozen quit and demanded their
pay."
Now the Steelers reward their
players with postseason bonuses
instead of paying them for exhi-
bitions — which are unprofitable,
anyway, for a last-place club.
The Detroit Lions still pay $25
weekly to players. whether rookies
or veterans, as expense money
during the exhibition and training
season. General Manager Nick
Kerbawy pointed out it coats well
over $156 a week to keep a ball-
player in camp
The New York Giants provide
$16 a week spending money, the
Chicago Cardinals $2 a day, the
Baltimore Colts $15 a week — plus
sizeable bonuses at the end of the
season — and the Green Bay
Packers pay an "insignificant
amount,” which in the case of
those who make the team is later
subtracted from their salaries.
