The Sweetwater Swatters play
the Roswell Rockets tonight at
8:15 as Sportsman Park to com-
plete the two-day series with
the New Mexico team.
After meeting all of the sec-
ond division clubs in the past
two weeks (beating most of
them), the Swatters invade the
first division group Wednesday
by playing the Midland Indians
there. Vernon and Big Spring
are next on the list.
* * *
T he Swatters took both ends
of a double- header from Ros-
well in the Independence Day
twin-bill before the largest
crowd of the season at Sports-
man Park. There were 1,411 pre-
sent.
Marv Christensen pitched the
Swatters to victory in the first
game, 7 to 2. Lou Lockhart was
the winning hurler in the sec-
ond conflict, slapping the Rock-
ets 17 to 1. '
Koswell's pitching staff was
off in both tilts. In the opener,
two Rocket twirlers walked
nine Swatters. In the nightcap,
one Roswell pitcher, one infield-
er and one outfielder walked
eight Swatters.
One-for-two hitters in the first
contest for Sweetwater were
Hubbers, Dukes Are
In Neck-And-Neck
Rate For Top Spot
By United Press
The Albuquerque Dukes and
Lubbock Hubbers remained
locked in a neck-and-neck race
today for undisputed leadership
of the West Texas-New Mexico
League.
Both clubs "split" twin-bills
yesterday in a series of clashes
which might have cleared the
track for all-out supremacy.
Albuquerque dropped its open-
er with Abilene, 2 to 7, but came
back to win the afterpiece, 6 to
1.
Lubbock also lost its first
game as the Borger Gassers
chalked up a 4-to-2 decision. But
the Hubs knitted a 12-to-6 vic-
tory in the second game to re-
main only a whisker behind
Albuquerque.
The other Independence Day
bargain attractions also ended
in divided decisions.
Lamesa defeated Amarillo, 6
lo 1, in their opener, but lost 9
to 3 in the nightcap.
And Clovis, blanked Pampa,
to 0. only to fall 12 to 6 in the
No, 2 contest.
Albufierque invades Lub-
bock tonight for the opener of
a crucial series. Clovis is at La-
mesa; Borger at Abilene, and
Amarillo at Pampa.

star classic and three of them,
second baseman Cass Michaels
of Chicago, first basemarj Eddie
Robinson of Washington and

I Cleveland will manage, also will
be a rookie so (far as the all-

the seven hurlers Boudreau

Boston's Chances Of
Copping Pennant Look
Bleak; 12 Games Out
NEW YORK, July 5 (UP) —
As the red, white and blue bunt-
ing came down today after the
holiday hoopla, it was time to
hang black crepe—black, black
crepe—on the pennant chances
of the Boston Red Sox.
The double drubbing absorbed
by the hapless Sox at the hands
of the New York Yankees yester-
day seemed the clincher in the
demise of this once proud and
defiant contender.
The losses, by scores of 3 to 2
and 6 to 4, were the seventh and
eighth in a row, and burrowed
Boston 12 games out of first
place. The worst the team plac-
ed last season was 11V4 games
back, and then on June 1 when
there was much more time to re-
cuperate.
