Manager Alvin Dark
Beginning To Wonder
About Exhibition Tills
By United Press International
They say spring exhibition games don’t meap a
thing but manager Alvin Dark of the San Francisco
Giants is beginning to wonder.
The Giants are the defending National Ldague
champions but they’ve looked the part of stumbling,
bumbling eighth-placers. They’ve lost three games in a
row, 10 of their last 11, 12 of their last 14, and Thurs-
day dropped a 4-1 decision to the Chicago Cubs at Phoe-
nix, Aria. *
With the opening of the Nat-

10 days away, Dark is beginn-
ing to become impatient.
Lou Brock hit a key double
and triple to pace the Cubs' 10-
hit attack Thursday. Ernie
Bowman had two singles and a
double for the Giants and Tom
Haller hit a homer.
If the Gianrs are looking for
company during their spring
frustration, they can easily find
it' in the persons of the New
York Yankees.
Reds Edge Yanks
The world champs had to re-
main on the field—away from
♦heir Madison Avenue activiti-
es—for a full 11 innings Thurs-
day before dropping a 3-2 de-

ed their spring record to 14-5
with a 4-3 Victory over the Cle-
veland Indians — their third

single with the bases filled in
the ninth drove in the decisive

6 To 4 Win
Over Rams
A frantic; 2-run rally in their
half of the seventh and final
frame failed to do the trick for
the high flying Daule high
Rams Thursday night, and the
hosts of the' dky. to* Ball high
Seguin Dragons^ nosed out the
Cuero crew 6-4 in a District 12-
AAA encounter.
The loss leaves the Rams
with a one won, one lost record
for the season in loop play. For
the year, the Rams sport a 3-
1 record.
Five Dragon runs crossed the
payoff station in' the fifth when
they combined- a pair of hits
and three Ram bobbles to take
a three-run lead. An infield er-
ror in the bottom of the sixth
added an insurance run to the
Dragon score.
In the do or die seventh the
| Rams came to bat and Don-
ald ’’Scrap” Taylor led off
with a single to center. J. C.
Mathis then followed with a hot
blast to the Dragon shortstop
which he was unable to handle.
Rani leadoff man Leslie "Bow-
tie” Thomas then poked a one-
bagger through short and rac-
ed to second, Taylor and Mat-
his scoring on the play.
With Henry "Tootninnic" Ma-
this representing the tying run
at the plate, tension began to
mount, but “Moose" McMillan
who had walked was thrown
out at second to halt the rally
and the game.
The Rams will appear at
home April 2 at Municipal
Park when the Hafletlsville Tig-
ers will furnish the opposition
in a non - district affair.

Harold (Catfish) Kneece was in
a good poslR&fi Jtoday to win
his first PGA tournament and
he doesn’t have to worry about
“Amies Army” throwing off
his game.

stocky Aiken, S. Cr, pro, blis-
tered the Cape Fear Country
Club course here Thursday
with a 6-under-par 66 to take
a one stroke lead in the $22,500
Azalea Open golf tournament,
Former USGA Open champ-
ions, Jack Fleck, 42, and Gene
I.ittler, 32. trailed Kneece with
67s and Billy Farrell, 27, came
in with a 68.
Three weeks ago, Kneece was
in even better shape in the
Pensacola Open and managed
to tie for second by the skin of
his teeth. He and Gary Player
finished two strokes behind the
master himself, Arnold Palm-
er.
Kneece carried a 3-stroke
lead when he was paired with
Palmer in the final round. He
shot a 73 while Palmer came
in with a 67.
"I was a little nervous be-
cause 'Amie's Army' was with
him,” Kneece said. Referring
to the large gallery and host
of newsmen and photographers.
‘ He’s the greatest putter I ev-
er saw. He rolled ’em in from
all over the place and when he
missed one he was so close to
dropping it that it scared me
to death.”
But Painter passed up the
15th annual, 72-hole Azalea to
prep for next week's Masters
in Augusta.
Two-time Azalea winner Jer-
rv Barber was tied at 69 with
Rod Funsech. Carding 70s were

,ia in Port Lava-
lb contest the Calhoun
high Sandcrab* of that city In
the seoond meeting of the two
clubs this season.
In a tilt; here March 20th. the
Crabs noted, out the Gobblers
‘6-5 in •-whole of a .ball game,
decided-' in Ihe final inning.
At this writing, the Gobblers,
have a 1-4 record (not Includ-
ing the Seguin • Cuero game
Thursday); but close observers
Of- the current schoolboy squad
are unanimous in their respec-
tive opinions that the Gobbler*
have the material with which to
come up with a powerful ball
club.
A news release from the Texas
Game and Fish Commission stat-
es that the squirrel season opens
in Wharton County on April 1
and continues through Decem-
ber 31. There is no daily bag lim-
it or possession limit for squir-
rels in Wharton County.
Why, you undoubtedly wond-
er, this would be Of interest to
folks residing in DeWitt County.
None, I suppose, unless you are
a body who goes squirrel hunt-
ing In Wharton county.
To bring it closer to home,
said communique also stated
that “there is no closed season
or bag limit on squirrels in Bas-
trop. Caldwell. DeWitt. Gonzales,
Guadalupe and Victoria count-
ies.
Now listen you squirrel hunt-
ers, there’s at least one deep
freeze on Mortgage Hill that
isn’t cooling down a thing but
some 1960 chili and some frog
legs a year younger, or per-
haps older. In other words, the-
re is room enough in the box
aforementioned to accommodate
numerous squirrels. COP, that
is. Clean on presentation.
Notice where a quartet of pro-
etrf, I can’t
tiriory that ■’
begin to
such a mi
reerg far
er.
Undoubtedly there are fatkg
trim believe that boxing match-
es are 'rigged’ jurt about
much wrestling matches are
supposed to be. But, when any
fighter comes -through with a
punch, or several of them, po-
tent enough to ‘ldll’ his oppon-
buy the
match was
‘set up’.
The individuals from all walks
of life jvhe are. trying to pro-
mote legislation to abolish this
sport are working on a fruit-
less cause, in the opinion of the
writer.
If those several boxers who
have withdrawn from professi-
onal competition in this field
wanted to do so, and they ap-
parently did. then that is their
privilege. Since they have with-
drawn, I wonder what some of
them will do for a livlihood?
The Daule high school Rams
were seeking their fourth conse-
cutive victory of the season
Thursday, when they Invaded
Seguin to tackle the Dragons of
that city.
All three of their previous
contest were close ones, but
the Rams were able to emer-
ge on top. For a run-down on
their 1963 accomplishments, the
following record Is submitted:
