Ben Taylor to Brownies
FORT WORTH, July 24 (A3) —
Ben Taylor, hard hitting Fort
Worth first baseman, has been
sold to the St. Louis Browns for
immediate delivery.
President John Reeves of the
Fort Worth club, announced the
deal last night that will send Tay-
lor to the Browns in exchange
for two players and an undis-
closed amount of cash. Joe Lutz,
San Antonio first baseman, and
John Bero, Browns’ infielder are
two players to be sent to the

• PEE WEE NOTE
We, for one, have been sore-
ly disappointed in the way the
Pee Wee league has operated
this season. After a first rate
beginning in 1950, the league
suffered growing pains this
year and sprouted into an eight
team organization instead of
four. As you all know four
teams were placed in the junior
league and the other quartet
represented in the older or
senior loop.
. The junior league is operat-
ing fairly smoothly, but play
in the senior division leaves
much to be desired. For one
thing the boys in that organi-
zation have -completely ignored
the rule, which stated that all
players must wear their uni-
forms to play in a regulation
game.
We watched a couple of the

ATTENDANCE MARKS
A recent issue of Sporting
News displayed the official at-
tendance marks as compiled in
the Big State league through
July 16. Don’t know who com-
piled the marks, but they showed
that Gainesville, although on top
in the playing standings, was on
the bottom in the money making
department.
Austin with 63,659 fans topped
the league, while Temple was
next with 51,203, Wichita Falls
followed with 36,454, and then
came Waco with 34,966. Texark-
ana’s 31,289, Sherman-Denison’s
31,151, Tyler’s 26,013 and Gaines-
ville’s 25,213 rounded out the at-
tendance marks in the Class B
loop.
If Gainesville’s mark Was that
compiled by Dallas officials we
betcha it was somewhat lower
than it might have been if actu-
ally figured by the Gainesville
board of directors.

FANS ALREADY RECEIVE REFUNDS ON WEEK END GAMES
Understand that several Gainesville baseball fans have already
received refunds on tickets that were purchased for the last week
end Owl ball games, which were played in Longview.
Box holders and ticket holders were awarded a refund for the
cardboards since Dallas officials decided to move the two regularly
scheduled home games to Longview. Several people received en-
velopes this morning containing the refunds, showing that at least
the Dallas business office is really on the ball.
Should Dallas be allowed to move the Owl franchise to Long-
view, Eagle officials are going to have a big time sending money
back to deserving box seat, ticket and sign holders.
It seems to us that it would cost Dallas more in the long run
to pay back those people and then probably pay damages to Cucus
town' parties that it would to leave the club in the city for the
remainder of the season.
We can’t see Longview supporting the club to such a degree
that will justify the expense of moving the organization from
Gainesville. Time will tell. ’

• EDITORIAL ABOUT OWLS
Gainesville’s baseball situa-
tion has become a state-wide
topic of conversation. The July
22 edition of the Wichita Daily
Times produced an editorial
thought on the controversial
question concerning one of the
smallest cities ever to support
a Class B baseball team.
Writer of the editorial came
to the conclusion that the trou-
ble in Gainesville stems from
the fact that the team does not
actually belong to the city.
“It is a subsidiary of Dallas’
Texas league -team, and the
management of the latter has
taken away several of Gaines-
ville’s best players in an effort
to strengthen itself. Gaines-
ville’s fans have come to won-
der who is supporting whom,
in the arrangement.
“Maybe the solution is for
Gainesville to rub out and start
over, with a team it can call its
own. Having a big brother can
be nice, but not when the guy
picks on you and helps himself
to all your marbles.”

©THIS AND THAT
It’s little wonder that the
American league is tied up in
knots. The front running teams
have been having a big time
knocking each other over. For
instance, the New York Yan-
kees have whipped the Cleve-
land Indians nine out of 14
times, while Cleveland has been
in front of nine of 15 games
with the Boston Red Sox. The
Sox, on the other hand, hold a
9-4 margin over the league-
leading Yankees. . . . Phil Cav-
arretta is taking his job as new
Chicago Cub manager seriously.
He has plenty of optimism and
says that he should be able to
guide his team into the first
division of the National league
this season. . . . Cavarretta it

See that Bob Moyer, former
Greenville Major first baseman,
has hit 33 home runs for Corpus
Christi of the Gulf Coast lea-
gue. Moyer hit his 33rd round
tripper last night to aid the
Aces to win over Brownsville.
. . . . Organized baseball is pre-
pared for a congressional inves-
tigation starting next Monday '
in Washington. The game is
confident, however, as Ford
Frick declared, “A better game
will come out of it.” He said
that he was confident that out

Key Men Urge
Slow Down in
College Sports
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.,
July 24 (A) — Ten key men in
the collegiate sports world yes-
terday urged a slow-down in col-
lege sports.
They said “undesirable trends”
have developed “a regimented
program of such intensity in the
training of athletic techniques as
to overshadow the student-status
of the player.”
The call for a slow-down came
in a policy statement adopted at
the annual meeting of the Na-
tional Association of Collegiate
Commissioners (NACC), repre-
senting the nation’s ten major
collegiate athletic conferences.
They said college sports lead-
ers ought to slam on the brakes
because the “undesirable trends”
are impairing “the ideal of col-
lege athletics as a healthy activity
outlet for the. students.”
The public, alumni and others
were asked by the NACC to
understand “that the continued
existence of college athletics de-
pends upon the maintenance of
a sane and sound balance in the
life of the student athlete under
which he must be a student pri-
marily and an athlete incidental-
ly.”

Judge Louis T. Holland, dis-
trict judge of Montague, Clay
and Archer counties, has been
named to preside over the base-
ball hearing, which will be held
in the Gainesville court house
Friday morning.
Judge Holland, who resides
in Montague, was appointed by
Judge George L. Davenport of
Eastland county. Davenport is
the presiding judge of the
eighth administrative district.
The hearing stems from an
injunction, which was filed by
local citizens in an effort to
prevent R. W. (Dick) Burnett
from moving Owl ball games to
Longview. Although the injunc-
tion was filed last week, Bur-
nett was allowed to play Satur-
day and Sunday games in Long-
view.
The Friday hearing is expect-
ed to begin at 10 a. m.

State Does All Right
MILFORD, Mass. (U.R)—The
State of Massachusetts did betters
than the players caught in a dice
game raid. A judge permitted the
six players to keep the $646 they
had in their hands when police
walked in. However, the judge
said the state should receive
$2,035 in cash that was on a ta-
ble.
Allco, Robran
Win Monday Pee
Wee League Tiffs
Alice’s Gassers could do no
wrong Monday afternoon on the
Boys club diamond and they
romped to an easv 18-0 four-in-
ning triumph over the Optimist
club in a junior battle of the Pee
Wee league.
In a junior conflict, the league
leading Robran laundry nine had
an easy time in defeating Hil-
burn Motor company’s hapless
outfit by an 18 -3 margin. The
TOO MUCH MONEY
The editorial writer presents a
good idea in saying we should
start over, but we are afraid that
such a feat would cost just a bit
more money than could be raked
up by Gainesville baseball di-
rectors.
There are many ways you
might look at the local situation,
with either or both Gainesville
and Dallas officials taking part
or all of the blame for the civil
strife.
It’s our guess, however, that
should the court so rule that Dick
Burnett will not be allowed to
move the franchise to Longview,
the outfit will drop out of the
Big State league for the re-
mainder of the season.
In a timely announcement,
which you might have noticed in
yesterday’s edition of the Regis-
ter, Claude Lee, owner of the
Texarkana entry in the loop, said
he might sell or pull his team out
out1 the league.
Lee declared that the team was
up for sale, and he also stated
that should any other aggrega-
tion (wonder just which outfit
he had in mind?) wanted to drop
out of the league he would be
willing to pull the Bears out of
the race, leaving an even six team
Big State league.
It’ll be interesting to see just
how things progress after Fri-
day’s hearing between the Owl
and Dallas officials.

teams perform yesterday morn-
ing and only one boy wore his
uniform on one team, while
three on the opposing side were
decked out in playing gear.
No umpires were present and
the manager of one of the out-
fits had to act as both plate and
base arbiter. The manager of
the other team was not present
for the proceedings.
Of course, the problem is one
for league president, W. H.
Locke, who has had coopera-
tion from only a few of the
managers in the league.
It’s up to the managers of
the teams to see that rules are
enforced. It should be compul-
sory to wear uniforms and, if
nothing else, the managers
should see to it that umpires
are secured for each ball game.
It’s a big job okay, but one
that is well worth the time and
trouble for anyone who loves
kids.

Three of the four first division
