It is practically a foregone

keep thia from materializing.
The Yankees have been distinct-

that the Reds are the class ef

To Play Short Contest
Fort Worth Cat baseball stars
of the "good old days" will op-
pose Dallas old-timers in a special
four-inning game to be played
Saturday night at Dallas, starting
at 8:15. The regular Dallas-Fort
Worth game will be played imme-
diately after the get-together of
the veterans,
Christian University last year, to
bolster the mid-section of the all-
star lineup.
Two Already Signed
Previously Stewart had con-
tracted Dick Todd, elusive Texas
A. & M. halfback, and Billy Dew-
ell, rangy wingman, for S. M. U.
All three were all-Southwest Con-
ference performers last season.
That gives Stewart vital men in
the backfield, center of the line,
and end of the line.
For Ki, it will be just an early
shot at the Green Bayers. For as
a member of the Chicago Cardi-
nals, with whom he has contract-
ed to play professional football
this fall, he will see plenty of the
Green Bay boys in the cash-and-
carry circuit.
Ki is also signed up for the Chi-
cago all-star game Aug. 30, when
a collection of footballers from
all sections of the country will
match tackles and blocks with
the New York Giants, professional
champs last year. After the Chi-
cago affair, Ki will jump by plane
to Dallas for a few practice ses-
sions with the Southwest all-
stars.
