To Make Strong Bid For Attendance Trophy
Requested Wins
Wood Memorial
NEW YORK, April 25—<AV—
Ben Whitaker's Reouested won
the Wc od Memorial stakes today
to make next week’s Kentucky ,
Derbv picture more confusing
than ever.
For not only did the little Tex- |
as-owned son of Questionnaire |
hold his lead all the way around j
to climb right up front and een- ^
ter again for Col. Mat Winn’s
big party, but the highly-regard-
ed Apache, who was touted as j
a “good thing" to give Owner !
William Woodward and Trainer j
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons their j
fourth Derby winner, faded like |
last week's daffodills on the way
home and staggered in third,
three lengths off the pace.

Members Of Baseball Club To
Start Ticket Sales Tomorrow
In an attempt t<> make t strong bid lor the trophy
annually awarded the West -1 extts-Nevv Mexico league
baseball team that ha.- the largest attendance at its open-
ing game, appr< ximat 'ly ’Jo members of the 1 larger Has ■-
ball club, the Gassers’ dads, will begin an advance ticket
sales campaign tomorrow over all of Hutchinson county
for the Gassers’ initial home appearance next Thursday
night. The officials are going to have 3,600 ti ’kets print -
ed and will make every ef-
fort possible to sell all of
these before game time
Thursday night at 8 o'clock.
The Gassers collide with the
Amarillo Gold Sox.
Last year, approximately 1,100
turned out for the season s open-
er here and officials want to
make that mark look very small
when compared to the crowd they
hope will attend this year. The
•trophy last year went to Ama-
rillo’s Gold Sox and the Gold
Sox will be making a huge at-
tempt to retain the trophy again
this year.
Pampa To Sell 3,000
Reports from Pampa indicate
they are going to sell 3.000 ducats
for their Tuesday night opener
with Lamesa as their offer for
the trophy. If Borger is going to
beat Pampa and Amarillo in the
attendance contest, they are go-
ing to have to buy every ticket
available and fill the Huber park
to overflowing. Pampa. abound-
ing wi‘h new interest over their
new set-up, will probably have
a sell-out crowd with Amarillo
possibly jamming about the same
number in their park, so Borger
will really have to come to bat
for the Gassers in order that they
nose out the other clubs. Of
course, there is Clovis, Albuquer-
que, Lubbock. Lamesa and Wich-
ita Falls to contend with as well.
With the turnout of fans be-
ing exceptionally poor at the ex-
hibition games, Gasser officials
are expecting a better response
‘ to the regular circuit games. Fans
I will have only two chances to see
the Gassers in action here since
, they leave on a five-game road
trip after their second tilt with
the Gold Sox on Friday night.
Team Needs Fans’ Support
The support of fans is one of
the major factors of u winning
" ball club. It they have the fans
behind them they can and will
play better ball. It they do not j
have the tans’ support they lose
much interest and their playing .
will lag increasingly. Borger has
always had a reputation for real- |
]y "backing" their baseball team
and they should strive more ’han
ever to live up to that reputation
this year and prove it by annex-
ing the opening day attendance
trophy.
Among the Baseball club-mem-
bers who will start 'be ticket ■
drive tomorrow are: R L. Grimes.
Hudson Davis, Bob Bradshaw, D. j
M. Spector, J. M, Cox. H. S. Ben-
jamin, Fritz Thompson. Frank
Elmore, Cliff Haggard, Joe Briggs.
Fritz Ostrom, Goble Anthony,
George Finger, Bob Takewell,
Walter Cory, Barney Andress,
Eusie Turnei, Bob Lindsey, Wel-
don Jolly, Dick Mauldin. Jack
Katsh. Ray Brock, Young McCol-
lum, Sig Anisman and G. H. Whit-
lock.

WT-NM Opens On
Tuesday Night
DALLAS, April 25—MV-1That
youngster’s baseball paradise —
the West Texas-New Mexico
league — opens its sixth annual
season Tuesday night undaunted
by war’s toll of players because
there always are plenty where
those came from.
President Milton Price of Dal-
las, predicting a prosperous sea-
son, said the armed services had
taken many from the league’s ros-
ters but this only meant younger
players and that was one of the
major purposes of the Class D
loop — development of boys who
would find it difficult to break
into professional baseball were it
not for circuits like this.
Here is the opening schedule
and umpire assignments:
Wichita Falls at Lubbock.
Booster Warren and ClydeDeFate.
Berger at Amarillo, Otis Gun-
ter and Buster Bailey.
Lamesa at Pampa, Kinch Mc-
Clain. Ned Pettigrew and Ben
Levin.
Albuquerque at Clovis, Pat Orr
and Bob Ethridge.

Despite Weather, Bulldogs Go
Through Rousing Scrimmage
About twenty-seven Borger Bulldogs went through
a rousing scrimmage session Friday afternoon despite the
rather wet field and the cold wind and intermittent show-
ers that fell. Coaches Windy Nieklaus and Tex Hanna
were well-pleased with the scrimmage and the way the
lads worked in it since they have had only one practice
previous to Friday and, also, since so many of the boys are
young and inexperienced.
Only about half of the squad was present for the

Gassers Meet ’Old Folks Today

not only important but essential j end, and Joe Dale Greer, who a
ir. arranging flights. j a reserve letter ns a back last
- season and has now been shifted
All members and players are to center.
It’s the battle they’ve all
been wailing for.
The time is 3 o’clock and
the place is Huber stadium.
The topic in mind here is
annual struggle be-
tween the Borger Gassers
and Cowboy France’s “Old Folks
which promises to be a real bat-
tle at that. Also, it will be the
Gassers' last exhibition ball game
urged to turn in all used balls at
the pro shop. A liberal allowance
will be given on these balls. The
future of golf may depend on re-
processed balls. It is every pro’s
duty to see that members are lur-
nished with highest quality re-
processed golf balls when present
stocks of new balls are exhaust-
ed. Every old ball that is discard-
ed or iunked is a vote to kill the
game of golf. The only balls that
cannot be salvaged are those that
are cut entirely through the cover
into the core winding or those
with cores entirely out of shape.
Turn in these balls immediately
at the pro shop and preserve the
game <if golf.
The bovs had only been given and their lust home appearance
the plays in the practice held until the league opener here next
plays that they had never seen
before and ran them well too.
With better weather, which
may bo coming, the team should
begin to show much improvement
first of a two-game series. They
will inaugurate the 1942 Wes*.
Texas New Mexico campaign in
remain there for another game
i on Wednesday night.
Urbansky Starts Today
Hugh Willingham, Gasser pilot,
said Inst night that Andy Urban-
sky, side-arm tosser, would prob-
ably star*, on the mound for the
Gassers. 'Lefty” Sharp, 17-year
old newcomer, will be sent to the
hilt following Urbansky. Sharp
just came in yesterday and Will-
ingham is going to give him a
chance to display his chunking
wares in a hurry.
The infield will probably find
Kelley Wingo al third. Larry Gil-
christ at short. J. K. McClain at
second, and Lefty Riordan at
first Buzz Ross and Whitey
Warren will work behind the
the same with Chuck Chepeeta
in left. Odie Wheatley in center,
and Harold Haddigan in right.
Former 'Greats'
Among Frances’ squad of for-
mer "greats" will be found: in-
fielders, Al Summers. Hack Wil-
son, Choppy Spencer, Sammy
Hale, sr„ Huffman. Johnnie John-
son, Vern Farquhar; pitchers John
Shaw, Lefty Cari’.hers, Hawkings;
outfielders, Littrell, Lofty Blair,
Gib Jackson; and the catching
duty will be assumed by Frances
himself.
Just because Frances’ team has
the name "Old Folk" tacked on
them is no reason to sell them
short. They will give the Gassers
a bang-up afternoon. In 1940
the Gassers came back to hand I
them a 14-4 thrashing in 1941. j
Goble Anthony will be one of j
the umpires.
The Gassers' heavy card for the i
last part of the last week failed
to materialize as bad weather con- ;
ditions prevailed. The final game
with the Clovis Pioneers was j
called off Friday due to threaten- I
ing skies and a muddy playing i
field. Such was the case for the
proposed Navy Relief contest
with the Pampa Oilers.
The Gassers held a spirited
workQUt yesterday and will drill
again tomorrow before hitting the
highways for the Amarillo series.

Throughout the country the
question is asked — What is the
caddy outlook? Can we get cad-
dies from the schools? Certain
clubs and their officials are plan-
ning and preparing its members
for the idea that they may have
to do a little "lugging" of those
clubs themselves. Some courses
have raised caddy lees in an ef-
fort to secure more caddies. On
most courses this plan has worked
very well. In an effort to get
more caddies at the Huber course,
club officials have raised “caddy
fees" to seventy-five cents for
eighteen holes These new rates
are now in effect and should en-
courage many boys Horn 12 years
of age and up to earn extra mon-
| ey for entertainment and the
