greenbacks with the enthusiasm

Adding such as Layne and Lu-

Wrigley Field fans every reason
to expect at least the western di-
vision title to be raised over the

Vanderbilt’s action that he was a

His next buy was four yearlings
from the Country Life farm of
Adolph Pons. Then he bought two
fillies at the Saratoga yearling
sales in August.
While waiting for these young-
sters to reach racing age, Mac-
Phail hoped to see his colors on

Missions Blast
5 Rebel Hurlers
For 20-3 Win
By WILBUR MARTIN
Associated Press Staff
The San Antonio Missions
found Dallas easy pickings last
night and ran up a 20-3 decision
to tighten their grin on fourth
place in the Texas league.
Five Dallas pitchers provided
the Missions with good batting
practice. The Padres collected a
total of 22 base hits while Royce
Lint was scattering nine Rebel
safeties.
In other games, Tulsa walloped
Shreveport, 15-0, in the first
game of a double-header, but lost
the second, 5-3. Houston edged Ft.
Worth, 5-4, and Oklahoma City
downed Beaumont, 2-1.
A six-run splurge in the third
inning gave San Antonio a big
lead, but the Missions poured it
on and finished up with five runs
in the ninth inning. Acting Dallas
Manager Les Burge doubled Buck
Frierson home in the eighth for
the Rebel’s first run.
The victory gave San Antonio
a one and one-half game lead
over fifth place Shreveport.
Two run homers by Billy Har-
din and Don Bollweg and a timely
single by Relief Pitcher Mulligan
beat Fort Worth. Mulligan’s hit
put the Buffs ahead and Boll-
weg’s homer clinched the game
in the sixth frame.
Oklahoma City took full ad-
vantage of three hits off Carl Ray
to nip Shreveport. The Indians
got two runs in the fourth on an
error and Grant Dunlap’s second
double. Beaumont’s run came in
the second off a single by Jerry
Crosby and a triple by Bud Pet-
erson.
Two walks, two errors, a single
by Jim Kirby and a triple by
George Brown gave Shreveport
four runs in the third inning of
the nightcap.
Tulsa used four pitchers in the
final frame.
A three-run outburst in the
seventh inning broke a 6-6 dead-
lock and prevented Waco from
setting a new league record for
consecutive games won.
While the Twins were polishing
off Waco, Austin downed Green-
ville twice, 3-2, 13-5, and Wichita
Falls routed Paris, 9-3.
Ollie Ortiz, the Twin’s relief
hurler, hit a home run in the
sixth inning to bring the Twins
even with Waco. Then in the sev-
enth, Glen Snyder doubled and
Dean Stafford singled. Joe Smaza
went to first when hit by a
pitched ball and Snyder scored
on an error. Mario Diaz singled
Stafford home and Smaza tallied
on a fly by Jake Suytar. Waco
got one run back in the ninth.
Wichita Falls jumped into a
five-run lead in the first inning,
mostly because of the wildness of
Paris’ Pitcher Bob Mistele. The
Spudders were never threatened
after this.
Nelson Davis’ home run beat
Greenville in the first game, then
in the second the Pioneers ran
wild.
The box score:
12-5.
Kilgore jumped all ovr Tyler,
13-3, and Marshall blasted Luf-
kin, 16-5.
Gladewater rallied for two
runs in the eighth inning, but
couldn’t match the other Oiler
rally.
Marshall won its fifth straight
by bunching 16 hits for 16 runs.
Longview broke loose for four
runs in the second to sew up the
first game, then chalked up six
runs in the fourth in the night-
cap.
Bob Hampton hit two home runs
for Bryan in the first game and
Jess Landrum did the same in the
second tilt. Hosa Pfeifer got a
homer for the Texans in the
nightcap.
Joe Kracher hit a two-run hom-
er to pace Kilgore at the plate.

signing engaged in by the senior
circuit.
For the first two seasons of the
new circuit’s existance, National
owners seemed content to let the
All-America sign most of the top
college talent, figuring the own-
ers would break themselves in the
process. This season they decided
to take the initiative and a huge
percentage of the publicized col-
legians wound up on National
rosters.
Washington, a perennial power
in the east, which fell with the
Giants last s e a.s o n to a lowly
state, inked Harry Gilmer of Ala-
bama to groom as aging Sammy
Baugh’s successor. Gilmer’s team-
mate, Center Vaughn Mancha,
and Georgia Tech Tackle Bob
(Earthquake) Davis went to the
Boston Yanks. The Cardinals
added Venton Yablonski of Co-
lumbia and Virgil Eikenberg of
Rice.
The Bears will face their
strongest challenges from the Los
Angeles Rams, where Bob Wat-
erfield pitches from the T, and
the defending Cards, with Paul
Christman holding down the same
spot.
In the east the aging Eagles do
not figure to have it. The Giants
do.
The much-touted eel-skins also
proved to be duds. Mounted on an
eel-skin rig, which the manufac-
turers . conveniently supply at a
dollar a throw, the skin does
resemble a real eel. But, person-
ally, I don’t think stripers like
eels, either. Not with a northeast
wind blowing, anyway.
Those super-deluxe sure-to-get-
fish plugs got a work-out, too.
Only it is difficult to decide
whether the red should have been
used on the outgoing tide and the
blue on the incoming tide. Or vice
versa. But it seems that ne’er the
tide shall meet—the right plug.
I have watched striper fisher-
men at The Capt Cod Canal (the
stripers paradise), and from
Montauk to Shinnecock Inlet (a
fisherman’s Shangri-la) and I
er for eight runs in the second
inning, including Tommy Reed’s
two homers and one by Lon Gold-
stein, to ice away the game here
last night against the Texarkana
Bears, 14 to 10, and give Manny
Vargas his 18th win.
Three hits and three walks
added, three more runs in the
third and Gordon Donaldson’s
walk, followed by Babe Tuckey’s

Top Four Teams Tangle

A preview of the West Texas-
New Mexico league playoff was
unreeled last night.
Lubbock jumped on Amarillo,
11-2, and Pampa nosed out Albu-

West Texas-New Mexico league
double-play records. The Hubbers
pulled five double killings and
second baseman Jackie Sullivan
and first baseman Virgil Richard-
son took part in each one. This
shaded the old record of their
positions by one. Shortstop Jack-
ie Wilcox figured in four double
plays, bettering the old mark for
this spot by one.
Sullivan hit a grand slam home

The man who. sees that the
grass grows in the Cleveland In-
dians’ mammoth stadium says he
got into the business purely by
accident.
“I was a young plumber by
trade back in the spring of 1912,”
Emil explains, “when I was called
to do a bit of work in the stands
at the St. Paul ball park in the
American Association.
“They offered me $25 more a
week than I was gettin’ as a
plumber, and I grabbed the offer
and I was a groundkeeper. Just
like that.
“It’s been a fine, healthy life,
too, ever since. Fact is, I’m now
able to recommend it to my
grandsons, same as I recom-
mended it to their dads.”

National League
By RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
“Bench strength,” that’s one of
the reasons Burt Shotton’s fero-
cious gentlemen lead the National
league today.
Shotton’s front-running Brook-
lyn Dodgers are deep in reserves
and the canny Brook pilot is em-
ploying his substitutes to the ut-
most advantage in his bid to
bring- the pennant to Brooklyn
for the second consecutive year.
I Second stringers enjoyed a
field day at the expense of the St.
Louis Cardinals yesterday as the
Brooks took a double-header, 6-5
1 and 6-1, to increase their lead to
a game and a half over the run-
ner-up Boston Braves.
Trailing, 5-2, going 'into the
ninth inning of the first game be-
