THE RIVERS THAT run into
Lake Texoma are not the only
ones that are muddy. Carl Kaden
went to Missouri last week and
he had every intention of catch-
ing some nice fish from the Lake
of the Ozarks in that state. This
is a man-made lake somewhat
similar to Texoma, it was even
alike in the fact that all of the
water running into it were bank
full and very muddy. So muddy,
in fact, that Mr. Kaden’s trip was
ruined, no one was catching any-
thing, not even a nibble. The lake
has been in that condition longer
than Texoma and was really in
a terrible state. Maybe he should
have stayed at home to do his
fishing.

Two Softball Loops
May Consolidate
AUSTIN, Tex., June 13 (AP) —
Officials of the Texas Softball
league and the Inter-City Soft-
ball league have recommended
consolidation for the remainder
of the 1949 season.
The officials also recommended
the enlargement and incorpora-
tion of the organization under a
new title for the 1950 season.
The leagues are the two largest
organizations of their kind in
Texas.
Ratification of the consolida-
tion must come from the league
directors, but approval appears
to be certain.
The two leagues, plus a third to
be organized in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area will be called the
Texas Fastball league in the 1950
season. A championship playoff
between the two old leagues has
also been planned. It will be held
probably on the weekend of Aug-
ust 14. Both leagues decide their
titlists by a Shaughnessy playoff.

GEORGE SPIRES LOOKED
like he was going fishing for a
month. When he left home he had
a trailer full of equipment and
it could be that he did intend to
stay for some time. Maybe he
will have some good fish stories
to tell when he returns.
• It‘s Automatic: No fire-
tending, no shoveling of
ashes.
THE SMALL FRY do it again!
Gene Allen Porter and one of his
buddies, Johnny Ralston, went
out to Sarles lake two .days in a
row and both days they caught
fish. The first day they caught 29
nice blue gill and the next day
they caught another nice string
of the fighting fish. Evidently
they knew where the school was
feeding because they really were
pulling the game little fish in.

The league-leading Marshall
Browns have gained ground on
all three other first division clubs
in the East Texas league baseball
race.
Marshall downed the Bryan
Bombers yesterday, 6-4. Second-
place Longview and fourth-place
Kilgore were rained out at Kil-
gore.
Henderson edged third-place
Gladewater, 10-9, permitting
Marshall to edge up a full game
on the Bears.
Seventh-place Tyler squeezed
by the Paris Panthers, 5-4.
Marshall tallied three runs in
the seventh frame to defeat Bry-
an.
Four Gladewater errors in a
row in the ninth allowed Hender-
son to push across Les Taylor
with the winning run.
Tyler counted three times in
the eighth frame to beat Paris.

THE RAINS CAME! If it
poured out on the river banks
like it did in the city, there are
probably some fishermen still
there stuck in the mud.
The rivers were muddy enough
without more rain to add to the
angler’s misery. Now they have
to wait that much longer for the
waters to go down and to clear
up, but when they do the fishing
should be excellent.
Two years later Richards beat
Wood and Patterson in straight
sets in singles as U. S. blanked
the raquet wielders from Down
Under. In 1925 he and Norris
Williams helped the U. S. sweep
France by taking Rene Lacoste
and Jean Borotra in straight sets.
In 1926, Vinny and Williams re-
peated, beating Henri Cochet and
Jacques Brugnon of France, 6-4,
6-4, 6-2.

NEW YORK—Vinny Richards,
the former tennis champion, has
fond hopes that one of his two
sons will follow his footsteps.
Whenever America’s second
ranking player of 25 years ago
gets a chance he works out with
his two sons in the rear of their
Scarsdale, N. Y., apartment.
Vincent, Jr., 18, is an all-around
athlete. He hopes to make the
Fordham university tennis team
next year. He played varsity
tennis two years ago at Staunton
Military academy in Virginia.
One spring he captained the
team. At Cardinal Hayes High
in New York he played freshman
and junior varsity basketball.
The other son, Dean, 15, will
attend Stephanie High in Scars-
dale in the fall. He, too, hopes to
make the tennis team.
Papa Richards thinks Dean
might prove a better tennis play-
er than his older brother. Of
course, Vincent, Sr. may be think-
ing back to world war I days
when, at the age of 14, he was the
national boys champion.
“Dean has more will to win
than his older brother,” says the
first commissioner of the World’s
Professional Tennis league. “Vin-
ny is a good player but it’s up to
himself. He has the game to go
places. He also has the build.
“Vinny is an all-around ath-
lete, plays a good game of golf
and basketball. If he sticks to
tennis and makes up his mind to
it, he will be all right.”
Vinny Sr. won 30 important
tennis titles, most of them in the
middle 20’s when he was ranked
among America’s top four net-
men.
In 1919 he repeated as boy
titlist and also took the junior
doubles. He held the junior in-
door crown from 1918 through
1920. In 1919-20 he was junior
indoor doubles champion, and
won the mixed doubles in 1919
and repeated in 1924 with Helen
Wills. From ’19 through ’21 he
was national junior titlist.
Then “he grew up,” winning
the western crown in ’21 and the
New England singles and doubles
titles in ’22. His doubles partner
was Bill Tilden, 10 years his
senior. For a period of six years,
he was half of five indoors dou-
bles championship teams. He
beat Tilden in 1919 for the Na-
tional Indoor singles but the fol-
lowing year Tilden reversed the
decision.
Five times he won the U. S.
doubles title, three times with
Tilden and twice with Norris Wil-
liams.
Vinny has a near perfect record
in Davis Cup competition. His
lone defeat in the international
matches came in 1922 as U. S.
beat Australia, 4-1. Teamed with
Tilden, he lost to the Aussie team
of Gerald Patterson and Pat
O’Hara Wood in straight sets.

Brooklyn’s new found home
run power played havoc with
Cincinnati over the weekend. The
league-leaders socked two hom-
ers in a 10-5 win Friday night,
belted three more in a 11-3 vic-
tory .Saturday and yesterday ex-
ploded four in a pulverizing 20-7
rout that stretched their unbeat-
en streak to seven games. The 20
runs were the most scored in one
game by a major league team
this season.
Both the second place St. Louis
Cardinals and the third-place
Boston Braves fell two games
back of the Dodgers as they split
double-headers.
The Cards divided with the
Philadelphia Phillies, winning
the opener, 7-3 and dropping the
nightcap, 8-3. The Braves split
with the Chicago Cubs, copping
