ANE thing you can't help but admire about Big Ed Greer. Makes
I O no difference to him if he’s 10 tallies ahead, he keeps on pumpin’
I that agate through there with something on it. Some pitchers make
a the mistake of relaxing when they get a big breastworks—or else
1 they are inclined to experiment a bit on some knuckle ball or side-
. arm curve. .
. DIG ED has a very sensible theory on the matter. He says even if
D a guy is lazy, the smart thing to do is bear down all the time.
1 Thia results in fewer pitched balls and consequently much less physi-
• cal effort Also, It keeps the enemy from making a breach in your
breastworks and maybe wearin’ yuh to a frazzle.
r Here’s a tip to any angler who may be as dumb as what I am.
Far be it from me to kid myself, but I’m pretty dumb. I use a
4 Shakespeare super reel, which Is a fair fishing tool. The other day,
, out at I&GN lake, I hooked it up and it wouldn’t retrieve. I cussed
, the drag, which is a part of the machinery, took it off and put on
E my spare. •
NEXT day when I parked at
I Parrents as usual, J went
through the back door of T.
Daniel’s store and took up the
matter of the reel with Trav him-
self. Trav examined the reel very
minutely, with a fine display of
professional effort at diagnosis.
But he gave it up. "Buddy is out
to lunch now,” said Trav, "but
he’ll be back directly."
QO I left the reel and went on
D to lunch. When I came back,
Buddy was laughing up his sleeve
fit to kill. It seems the cork base
for my line was loose on the
spindle and so of course the
spindle couldn't wind in any line.
I'd kid Trav about it if it wasn't
that I was fully as dumb as he is.
I have an old line now where the
cork usta be.

Initial Tilt
Preacher Dorsett to
Move Up to Starter;
More Sunday Rehash
Well, in view of what happened
in the last two ball games and in
further view of the fact that the
Shreveport Sports are the Cats'
opponents, it’s fairly safe to lay
a small bet that ladies’ night will
attract considerable of a crowd
to- La Grave Field tonight.
Homer Peel and his boys came
over from Dallas, where they sal-
vaged what looked like a hopeless
ball game yesterday in the late
Innings—in the twelfth to be ex-
act. Merve Connors and George
Washington are back in the Sport
lineup and Homer Peel himself is
about ready again.
Dorsett to Go
Preacher Dorsett has been nam-
ed to oppose . the hard-hitting
Louisiana club tonight. Skipper
Bob decided to show the enemy

JUST about the best way to tell
J the story of a ball game like
the one we saw Sunday is to start
in at the beginning and tell it as
it happened. This is not the ap-
proved way of telling a baseball
or other story, but that there ball
game, was a very unusual one—
a ball game which we'll all re-

pitched great ball, but Stan had
about eight tallies kicked in on
him and Brecheen had almost per-
fect support for eleven innings.
Our left-handed division, Jack
Suydam and Johnny Stoneham,
nicked Brecheen for two doubles
after two were down in the first
member and refer back tc
many a long year and a lotta
folks will keep this write-up of it
to refresh their memories in the
years to come:
It was a ball game in which the
Cats had to come from behind
four times; a ball game in which
the Cats won in the 13th when

a rock for eleven innings finally
blew high as the Waggener build-

Mom had a thrilling experi-
ence with fishing apparatus Satee
urday. She was cleaning out
the hall closet, putting winter
clothes away and digging out ;
some few summer things. She

ers I used up to last summer 1
but which developed leaks where 1
they rub together as I walk.

A cess. Mom decided to put a
flock of drape poles and rods in
the garage. So she put the rods
in the waders and carried them
onto the back porch. Later on,
she was doing something or other
on the back porch and suddenly
became obsessed with the feeling
somebody was standing close be-
hind her.
ATOM knew there could be no-
1V1 body behind- her, but she took
a precautionary peek—and al-
most jumped right out of her
slacks. As she started her cau-
tious look behind her, Her eyes
encountered those waders stand-
ing there straight up, with the
- curtain rods in ’em and—well, now
the boy who gathers trash in
Bluebonnet has him some fair
vaders. 1
Iffen I wasn’t so dawg-gon-
d lazy, I'd go back over the
I "les and find out how long it
had been since our Cats had
won a Saturday night ‘ ball
game. So we'll just say it was
I a long time—and it took the
5,000 Shriners to pull 'em over
the log. Maybe now we’ll win
'em Saturday night same’s any
other night.

on Saturday night. I member one
L year we fought our way up to
500 per cent and the first divi-

a seasoned shortstop, and it look-

Gray Ghost and lit out for Yel-

T/E were gone in Yellowstone
W for almost two weeks, during
which time I didn't see a paper.
On. our way home, I picked up a
Denver paper and saw us sitting
I on or close to the bottom. We
! had started the Saturday I left by
| losing a double header and then
! had dropped ten more games in a
I row—twelve straight. Saturday
games have evaded us since then.

stand yesterday afternoon. He
said he was still weak and his
head was mighty sore, but he

Guys kid me from time to
time for standing on that cer-
tain plank when we need some
runs. They’re right as a right
fox. I'm a very foolish, a very
reprehensible: and very super-
stitutious old geezer. But we
tallied nine runs while I stood
on that said plank yesterday.
And who wouldn’t be an old
reprobate for nine runs?
NOT only that, but the game
- wasn’t doin’......me no good
a-tall. I had a headache all day.
Imagine piling a headache like
that game on top of an already
full-grown, flowered and fruited
headache, I don’t know all the
righties.
Peel, who was seriously injured '
when hit in the forehead by a
foul as he stood too close to the
batting cage, hasn't appeared reg-
ularly in the lineup as yet, but
has been doing a good job as a
pinch hitter. It wouldn’t be sur- .
prising to see him in the lineup
in this series.
Linton Loses Bug
Skipper Bob no longer is an ap-
prentice in the matter of being
thrown out of ball games. Up to
yesterday he had a record of not
being thrown out during about 16
years of active service in college
and pro baseball. .But the strenu-; ■
osity of Sunday's game was too
much for him. Umps Passerella
ages.

A NYHOW, the Cats were away
A to a one-run lead. This stood
up until the third, when Brecheen
singled and Lake doubled with,
nobody away. Phillips fouled out
and Scoffic fanned. With two
down, Old Nick was walked pur-
posely. And trouble started with
Passerella when Epps also walked,
two of the balls looking to Cat
Batterymen like pretty nice
strikes indeed. Anyhow, the walk
forced in the tying run and it was
1 to 1.
Houston went ahead in the sixth
When Davis singled and stole sec-
ond. Watwood popped out but
Turner walked and Brecheen
singled in the tally. But the Cats
tied it up in their half. Chatham
singled and took second on Jim
Gravin’s swinging-bunt out.
Gravin was in the game on ac-
count of Umps Passerella having
put Suydam out for beefing too
much on a called strike. Stone hit
to Johnny Watwood, who fielded
the ball and tossed it high over
Brecheen’s head at first. Buster
scored to make it 2-2.
sprightly sock back at Brecheen
which got through him far enough
for Bill to be safe. One was out,
Corbett had two strikes an’” :m-

pened. He swung his bat non-
chalantly and hump-backed a
looper into short left.

QO two were on and one out.
Q Rabbit hit to Phillips and
Lake dropped the toss at second.
So three were on. Chatham walk-
ed to force in a tally. Gravin then
doubled to left to score a couple
more and Stoneham doubled to
left center to get Gravin home
with tying run. It was 7-to-7 and
the customers were nuts. Kelleher
relieved Brecheen and walked
Metha. Dickson relieved Kelleher,
who got us out.
Nothing much happened in the
twelfth but the thirteenth was a
real championship kicking match
and we won it because the Buffs
had the last kick and were the
better kickerg. Thia thirteenth
was, as I said, a real champlorf.

wood and Turner and Dickson
forced Epps. Three runs and it
was 10-7—I think.

racing when an apprentice wins

It followed a decision at the
plate. Catcher Schang tagged a
runner out as he slid home. The
play was over and the catcher
had taken the ball out of his
glove to throw it back. In un-
tangling from the runner, the lat-
ter kicked the ball out of Schang’s
hand.
Weird Stuff
Umps Pate looked around just
in time to see the ball on the
ground. When Passerella, urged-
by Buff players, asked Pate for a
decision, the latter said the ball
was dropped. The reversal of the
decision was too much for Lin-
ton. When a Buff hitter hit a
ball twice with his bat and should
have been out, Passerella asked
Pate again and the latter said he
didn't see or hear the ball hit the
bat twice. That’s the way it
tonight. “Good thing it was a
glancing blow,” he agreed. Sun goes. The two umps were pos-
shining on the scoreboard hid sibly the only humans in the park
who didn't hear AND see the ball
the ball until it was right on
him. The Cats start hitting at
6 o’clock—didju know that?
Dallas Man Wins
National Place
R. C. Pope of Dallas scored
1587 points of a possible 1600 at
Shady Grove Range at Lake
Worth Saturday and Sunday to
win a berth on the American Rifle
Association team that will sail
June 21 for England to compete
hit twice.
Anyhow, it all came out okay
and tonight is another night. The
Cats once again are off the bot-
tom and have turned into the out-
scrappin’est ball club we’ve had
in this man's town in 16 years.
JACK SUYDAM took a trip
• to the shower Sunday under
orders from Umps Passerella,
which caused the fans much in-
dignation and the umps much
trouble. However, Jim Gravin,
who went into the outfield, gave
a good account of himself and
everything turned out well,
finally.
HPPS led oft the eighth with a
A triple through second and
tallied on Red Davis’ long fly to
left. So the Cats were behind
again. Metha opened our ninth
with a single, was bunted up by
Gravin and came on in when
Kearse singled to center. Kearse
was hurt a few minutes later in
sliding into second with his hands
up and was hit on the hand by
Lake's relay throw to first. So
Bobby Schang came into the
game.
Nothing much happened in the
tenth but history-making fire-
works broke out in the eleventh
—and I mean. Davis hit a soft
bounder to Chatham. Buster came
****
RABBIT opened it with his first
Iu bingle, a hot one out of Phil-
lips’ reach. Chatham walked.
Gravin fanned. Stoneham hit a
one-hop to the pitcher, the perfect
double-play ball. Lake was hand-
cuffed and dropped it. Metha hit a
hot one to Red Davis, another
doubleplay ball, but Red kicked it.
Rabbit scored and Metha was on
first with the winning tally.
Well, Kott topped a roller to
Dickson’s left. He fielded the ball
quickly. His play probably was to
the plate. But he elected to try
for a double play through second.
His throw was not less than 16%
feet to the right of second base.

METHA was legging it to sec-
ond, didn't look around and
slid safely in, with the ball split-
ting Epps and Cullop in right-
center. Frank finally got going
again and slid safely into third
and sat on the bag in a dazed
manner. Firpo was yelling at

North Side will call on Jack Wal-
ton to face the Riverside Eagles
in their game on the North Side
diamond. North Side, with a bet- -
ter chance than any other team to -
halt the title bound Parrots, suf-
fered a telling blow last week
when J. D. Albin, no-hit southpaw
hurler, broke the thumb on his •
throwing hand while tagging a
runner in an intra-squad game.
Tomorrow the Arlington
Heights Yellow Jackets and Pas-
chal Panthers will meet at
Wortham Field. The city teams
will rest Wednesday and then
Thursday will go back into action
Thursday with Arlington Heights
at Poly and Technical at River-
side. The North Side Paschal
contest Friday will bring the high
school schedule to a close. - The
shake-up in this week's games
was necessitated by a big sched-
ule of senior activities in the var-
ious schools. . 1
