every Longhorn League all-star
tilt In his six seasons in the circuit,
was the only player given unani-
mous backing by the voters for
the July game at San Angelo.
In addition to Stasey, Big Spring
placed six other men on the team;
Sweetwater four, San Angelo three
and Vernon two.
The "West" team—composed of
players from Midland, Odessa,
Roswell and Artesia—will be an-
nounced later this week.
Stasey, Sliter and Tayoan per-
formed in the 1951 classic, which
was won by the West, 8-4.
Fifth Straight For Sliter
Sweetwater's neat fielding,
clutch-hitting Sliter will see action
in his fifth straight all-star game
—every season he's been in pro-
fessional baseball. He made the all-
star game while with Pittsburgh,
Kan., in his firsr year, 1948, then
landed 'berths on the Longhorn
squad as a member of Midland in
1949, and at Sweetwater in 1950 and
'51.
San Angelo's Tayoan made last
year's Longhorn all-star team as a
third baseman. He switched to
second base this season, but the
change didn't lessen his all-star
ability.
The complete East team:
Catchers — Tony Traspuesto,
Sweetwater ,and Joe Niedson, Ver*
non.
Pitchers—Gil Guerra, Bert Baez
and Aramis Arencibia. all of Big
Spring; Jesse Sosa, Vernon, and
Cotton Russell, San Angelo.
Inficlders—Warren Sliter. Sweet-
water, first base; Johnny Tayoan,
San Angelo. second base; Witty
Quintana, Big Spring, third base;
A1 Costa, Big Spring; shortstop:

Outfielders — Charlie Tuttle,
Sweetwater, left field; Charlie

RAN' ANGELO, .July 1fi —The Sweetwater Braves re-
turn home Thursday for a two-game stand with Midland fol-
lowing their elose-out two-day battle with San Angelo's
Colts here tonight. Alex Carrasquel (8-5) arid Lou Lozano
(9-9) are slated to be the mound opponents.
A streak of wildness by Sweetwater pitcher Gil Grajeda
in the sixth inning paved the way for San Angelo's 8 to 2
victory over the Braves Tuesday night.

Grajeda, who suffered his eighth
loss against six wins, had a neat
two hitter going into the fatal sixth
when he lost his effectiveness.
J. B. May Wins
■J. B. May went the full distance
for San Angelo and held the Braves
to five safeties.
Sweetwater blew a chance to send
May to the showers in the first in-
ning. With one out, Luis Suarez
and Charlie Buck singled and Char-
lie Tuttle walked.
Suarez put the Braves ahead. 1-0.
when Catcher Ronald Dacko threw
wild into left field in an attempt
to pick him off third.
Warren Sl'ter walked to again fill
the bases, but Tony Traspuesto
grounded into a double play, and
May stayed around to check the
Braves on three hits thereafter.
Two other double plays by the Colt
infield helped May over Ihe rough
spots.
Manager Mark Christman tied
the count in the third, 1-1, with a
bases-empty home run.
Shorties Draw Walks
Grajeda walked the two 'little
men" in the Colt lineup — Marty
Dooley and Tony Guerrero—to lead
to his downfall in the sixth.
Johnny Tayoan and Jake Mc-
Clain hit into force-outs, then Glen
Burns kept the rally alive with a
single that scored Guerrero.
Ken Kowalik worked Grajeda for
a walk to load the bases and Christ-
man sent a blooper into left to
score two runs. A walk to Daeko
and May's single plated Christman
with the fifth run.
San Angelo moved ahead 6-1
against reliever Rolando Rodriquez
in the seventh when Guerrero led
Kowalik climaxed the scoring
for San Angelo in the eighth with
a home run off Dean Higgins.
The Braves picked up their sec-
ond tally in the eighth on Ernest

City Golf Tourney
Qualifying is now under way for
Sweetwater's annual month-long
City Golf Tournament.
Local golfers—and those from
neighboring cities who play the
Sweetwater course regularly—can
post qualifying scores through Sat-
urday week, July 26.
Pairings will be made on July
29 and the matches begin thereaf-
ter, with one match per week. Fin-
als are planned for Sunday, Aug.
31 . . .
Most of Coach Pat Gerald's 1952
football prospects are occupied
with strenuous jobs this summer,
getting their muscles tightened up
for this fall's grid grind.
Sweetwater High should have one
of its biggest and toughest squads
in many years . . .
Tommy Hart of Big Spring in-
sists that Snyder will very likely
be in the Longhorn League next
year. Hart says the little oil town
may get Vernon's franchise . . .
One of the finest players in the
Longhorn League is Audie Malone.
late of the Vernon Dusters and
now a member of the Roswell
Rockets. Malone is a capable pitch-
er, fine defense outfielder and a
dangerous hitter . . .
Stubby Greer, the ex-manager
of Abilene and Artesia. had his
slugging togs on when the Rockets
played here early this week. The
little veteran shortstop belted
Sweetwater pitching for eight hits
in 11 at-bats. . .
The Braves' new outfielder,
rookie Don Morgan, can also play
base. Manager Alex Carrasquel be-
lieves the lad has great possibili-
ties.

Risky Business
Professional baseball club own-
ers probably. wonder why they're
in the baseball business, for the
odds are heavily against them of
making a profit in that profession.
Beaumont, although the Texas
League's second best club, aver-
aged only 880 paid admissions dur-
ing a six-day stand last week. San
Angelo of the Longhorn League,
which usually attracts about 1,500
fans, had 695 persons out for last
Sunday's game.
Chickasha. number one club in
the Sooner State League, averag-
es below 500 fans per game . . .
Speaking of Chickasha, the
Chiets signed a 28-year-old Negro
pitcher to a five-day look contract
this week . . .
Odessa handed Pitcher Juan
Guerrero his outright release Sat-
urday, and the ageless Mexican
who won 16 games for the Oilers
in 1951 joined Roswell.
Guerrero had an 8-6 record with
Odessa this season, but was blast-
ed fairly hard in relief appear-
ances and Manager Bob (Pepper i
Martin finally gave up on him . . .
Roswell Manager AI Monchak,
who is experiencing one of his
worst seasons as a hitter, has
dropped himself to eighth in the
batting order.
When the Rockets played here
Sunday and Monday, it was noticed
that Monchak had changed his old
batting stance—feet planted close
together—to a more orthodox posi-
tion at. the plate.
But that didn't help either as he
got only one hit in nine at-bats. . .
In his final plate appearance
against the Braves, Monchak
switched back to his old stance.

Belated Departure
Here's one of those "now it can
be told" stories.
Emil i Rocky Carlini. the
Braves spectacular outfielder who
was ordered to Decatur, III., Mon-
day morning by the Gonzalez or-
ganization. almost didn't get to dis-
play his baseball ability at Sweet-
water.
The day before Longhorn League
play opened on April 21, Gonzalez
and Carrasquel decided to ship
Carlini to Decatur and open the
season with an outfield consisting
of Carlos Perez, Charlie Tuttle and
Charlie Buck.
When Rocky heard about the
deal, the little Italian blew his top.
"I'll quit baseball before I'll go to
Decatur," he screamed.
Carlini came by the Reporter of-
fice and had this scribe check his
"spring training" batting average,
which was well above the .300
mark. He took that information di-
rectly to Carrasquel, and suppos-
edly Gonzalez.
Anyway, his bosses decided to
keep him at Sweetwater—at least
for a few days.
Rocky's only appearance in the
Braves' first league game was in
a pinch-hit role and he flied out for
the pitcher in the bottom of the
ninth inning.
Carrasquel started him in the
second game and Rocky rose to
the challenge, banging a bases-
loaded triple in the first inning to
launch his team to its first league
victory.
Needless to say, Carlos Perez
never replaced Carlini In the
Sweetwater lineup after that as
"The Rock" became one of the
Braves' most feared sluggers.

Vander Meer
Gets No-Hit
Masterpiece
By UNITED PRESS
Johnny Vander Meer went down ;
in baseball history in 1938 as the
only man ever to hurl two consecu-1
tive no-hit, no-run games in the [
major leagues.
After his two successive master-
pieces, the big New Jersey right-
hander settled into mediocrity and
he ended his big league career for
all intent and purposes with the
Cleveland Indians last year at the
age of 37.
But Tuesday night at Beaumont,
in the twilight of a famous career,
he was the Vander Meer of old as
he pitched ihe Tulsa Oilers to a
no-hit 12 to 0 Texas League victory
over the Beaumont Roughnecks.
Even in his best days, he could
not have been more effective. He
mowed the Roughnecks down with
