Athens, Texas, high school won
the national title Saturday night in
Chicago, at the university there,

Truett Roberts, Junior college
student, likes to play baseball, and
does a good job of it, and is im
proving. Sunday Truett performed
with the Aztecs of San Benito (his
home town) against the Palmez

This boy Saenz of St. Joseph's

make a great player. He loves
the game. Plays infield. Well
i built, stocky with short arms.
He performed for the Hatters
Sunday at second base. Gave a
I good account of himself at that
position. In fact that seems to
be his post. Coach Menn of the
academy has been using him at
shortstop.

After playing baseball in the
Summer months for 15 years, it is
the belief of the writer, for what

rather slim, with long arms are the
boys doing the job at the shortstop
post these days.

They’ll razz the quarter at the half,
He’s pulled a bonehead play,
But later how they’ll praise him,
On a thrilling get-away.
. They’ll boo a fellow when he’s flat,
And ’bout to take the count.
But listen how they'll holler
When he'll from the canvas mount.
Tliey’ll pan the t^am that’s losing,
[ For the winners how they'll shout.
But swiftly how their voices

Athens Advances New Style of Play
PASSING GAME
IS SUPERIOR
Jimmy Kittss Hornets De
clared Greatest Quint
Ever Assembled
CHICAGO, April 8.—(IP)—A team
of young Giants from Athens, Tex
as. with a distinctly futuristic style
of play, today held the most cher
ished prize of high school basket
ball,, the National Interscholastic
championship.
The title fell to the Texans Sat
urday night as they capped a spec
tacular week’s campaign in the Uni
versity of Chicago’s eleventh annual
tournament by a 25 to 2! decision
over Classen, a fast, scrappy team
from Oklahoma City.
Coaches and critics of basketball,
who watched the Athens’ march to
the crown, were interested in its
style of play, which they termed fu
turistic in pattern. Averaging ap
proximately six feet two inches
each, the Texans played a peculiar
overhead game, which none of their
opponents could solve.
This game with its high passes
aimed at leaping mates is difficult,
and the percentage of errors is high.
For that reason, the champions were
superior throughout offensively. Too,
they covered rebounds off their op
ponents’ basket with hawklike ten
acity, tipping many of them back
for field goals. On defense, too, they
excelled. Their weight gave them
several more chances at being fouled
and consequently more free throws,
while they employed three or four
men for defensive purposes around
their own goal.
Third place in the tournament,
which attracted 40 teams from 33
states, went to the most picturesque
team in the competition, Joes, Colo
rado. This team from a mountain
village of 90 persons was shoved out
of the championship running by
Classen high in the semi-finals, but
came back to win third place by de
feating Jackson. Michigan. 21 to 7,
after making a brilliant rally in the
last period.
Coach Jimmy Kitts of the Athens
high school, is a graduate of S. M. U.
S. M. U. at Dallas. He played pro
fessional baseball in 1922 and 1923.
He is regarded as one of the best
students of the high school athletics
in the state. Reports from Chicago,
where the games were played, de
clared the Texas quint one of the
greatest high school teams ever as
sembled.

RIVALS GIANTS
Ruth Mobbed With Kind
ness In Oklahoma City;
Robins Unfortunate
NEW YORK. April 8.—(TP)—John
McGraw is convinced his New
York Giants are improved and will
be in the thick of the National
league pennant struggle. McGraw,
who celebrated his 58th birthday at
Memphis yesterday, believes the
Giants have their best chance in
some years to make away with the
league gonfalon. He thinks th**
Cubs are the most improved of
the Giants rivals.
Brooklyn's gift for hitting into
double plays still is with them
much to Wilbert Robinson’s dis
gust. The Robins outhit Cleveland
and got most of the breaks as well
at New Orleans yesterday, but they
hit into four double plays and
bowed to the Indians. 5 to 1.
Baseball fans will kill Babe Ruth
with kindness yet. Sixteen thou
sand persons at Oklahoma City
yesterday saw the Yankees down
Oklahoma City 13 to 5 in a game
called at the end of the eighth
inning. In this frame the crowd,
eager to get as close to Ruth as
possible, swarmed out on the field
and nearly mobbed the big fellow.
The game was called, but it took
Ruth some minutes to get out of
the field. As Ruth sought to force
his way through the mob. some
body started a cushion-throwing
barrage. Finally with the aid of
police and a taxi cab driver, the
Babe got back to his hotel with no
more damage than a torn baseball
suit.
Artie Nehf has joined the Cubs’
physically fit. He proved to Man
ager Joe McCarthy he is ready for
the championship campaign yes
terday by holding Houston to two
singles in four innings of hurling.
Aided by homers by Rogers Horns
by and Hack Wilson, the Cubs
walked away with the game, 12
to 3.

Michigan Is Favorite To
Cop Flag, With Veteran
Team In Fold
CHICAGO. April €.—(/P)—With
Michigan a heavy favorite to retain
the championship, the Big Ten
baseball campaign breaks forth with
a four-game card this week.
Indiana and Ohio state officially
opened the hostilities Thursday, the
Hcosiers upsetting the Buckeyes,
4 to 2. at Columbus.
Returning with its 1928 cham
pionship team intact, except for
Bennie Oosterbaan, Michigan seems
to be the standout of the race. The
Wolverines are on their training
trip now.
Jack Hayes, playing second base
for Washington in the game against
Brooklyn on March 21. was as busy

9 to 5.
SECOND 6SJESSIN6 SPORTS
THREE AND TWO BALL BRINGS
NERVE STRAIN
Wilbert RobinEon was chatting
of the horror of sitting on a bench
at a major league baseball game
and wondering what would happen
next. The conversation had turned
to President-Manager Emil Fuchs,
who will direct the destinies of
the Boston Braves from the bench.
It was suggested that Mr. Fuchs’
tailor will have a busy summer if
the new leader’s experiences paral
lel those of a former Boston bench
manager, George T. Stallings, who !
wore out many pairs of trousers!
during a season, sliding up and,
down the bench.
“Yes, he will need some extra
pairs of pants,” said Robbie. “The
old three and two ball will wear
’em out.” The uncle of all the
Robins spoke from experiences.
With the count three balls and
two strikes a manager is called on
to exercise all his powers of emo
tional control, especially if the bases
should happen to be filled with
ambitious base runners, all going
full speed ahead with two out.
President - Manager Robinson
dresses the part of a president on
the bench. He has not worn a
uniform for several seasons, al
though when he was younger and
lighter, he was one of the game’s
great catchers.
“I am not built to w'ear a uni
form. ’ he said when asked why
he no longer put on the conven
tional garb of the player. Presi
dent Fuchs will not wear a uni
form either, although he may now
and then slip into a golf suit for
his afternoon’s activities on the
baseball field.

TALK OF FOOTBALL LIN
GERS ON
With baseball teams getting
ready to charge at each other in a
score of leagues, golfers all set to
launch another full campaign and
the sports of spring very much in
the saddle, talk of football, past
and future, bobs up at intervals.
One of the games of last season
being played all over again from
time to time is the Army-Stanford
contest at New York, with partic
ular emphasis on two plays by
Keener Cagle. The Louisiana rice
planter twice was chased far back
toward his own goal as he started
what appeared to be end runs and
each time he cut loose long for
ward passes to ends waiting far
down the field.
The debate continues as to
whether these plays started as they
ended. The experts were divided
at the time, some taking the posi
tion that the fleet Cagle was
thwarted in his efforts to get out
perate effort to avoid heavy loss.
The ‘,nocs.” however, persisted and
Coach “Bill" Jones has had nu
merous inquiries directed to him
as to the plays.
“They were not planned," said
Captain Jones. “On all Cagle’s
runs, the ends went down and if
he could not get away, he passed.
That was the case in the Stanford
game. I do not deserve any credit
for strategy in connection with
these passes."

GOOD AT PSYCHOLOGY OR
WHAT HAVE YOU?
Gene McCann, scout for the
New York Yankees and former
minor league manager, had a repu
tation as a psychologist when he
was directing minor league teams.
A college player on one of his teams
said to him once after some astute
baseball figuring by Gene, “You
are a real master of psychology.”
The manager then had his joke.
Without the semblance of a smile
he asked the player, “What is psy
chology?"
A few days later with a three
run lead in the ninth, two of the
opposition players got on the bases
and Gene sent the collegian who
had dubbed him a psychologist to
the bull pen to warm up. He had
thrown a few balls when the bats
men sent a line drive whistling at
the pitcher, the ball breaking a
finger and filling the bases. The
college boy came in, fairly well
warmed up instead of cold as he
would have been had not McCann
sent him out before the damage
was done, and disposed of the side
without any scoring.
When he reached the bench he
answered his manager’s question
of previous date. “That is psy
chology,” he said.
There was a rounder day flavor
to the Athletics’ clash with Mon
treal on March 22. When the tabu
lations were completed, and the
various columns pointed off, the A’s
had 27 runs and the International
League opponents 18. Yet, this
game was a tie at 18-all when the
ninth inning was completed. Eddie
Collins, who was in charge of the
A’s had to get into the game him
self to see that dignity was pre
served for the big leagues. In the
tenth inning the Philadelphians put
over nine runs.

nearly every game and excellent
pitching was turned in by George
Payne, Milt Steengrafe and Cy
Smith.
The Houston Buffs were sup
posed to be “riled” yesterday be
cause Dutch Hoffman, catcher, was
badly cut by Grimm’s spikes Sat

had no trouble in winning, 12 to 3.
Rose, Wachtel and Webb, the three
Buffalo hurlers, issued 13 passes.

who’s v'ho and why. It is expected
most of the young Cats will go to
Evansville in the Three-Eye league,

YANKEES
Handsome Gordon Rhodes, with
his youth and inexperience, looked
a bit out of place with the Yankees
when he first reported. He is only
20 years old and some of the ex
perts with the world champions
announced that Young Gordon
would have to wait a year or two
before breaking into a steady job
in the majors.
Rhodes turned on the steam be
fore most of the pitchers had
scarcely warmed up and has had
the Yankee troupe talking about
him ever since. Now he is assured
of a job as second string pitcher.
Gordon, a right hander, won 17

He is a six-footer and weighs 194
pounds. And he is the best look
ing player on the Yankee squad.
His home is in Salt Lake Citv,

Big League Scout
The practice of a batter de
manding an inspection of a ball
frequently becomes a nuisance be
cause of the delay The fans be
come tired of watching some dinky
hitter carefully inspect the horse
hide and then proceed to strike out.
But there are times when usual
situations arise from the curiosity
of a batter in this respect.
I remember one time last sum
mer when a club won a game be
cause of the batter asking for a
free pepp at the ball.
It was during one of those pitch
ing battles when every effort was
being made to upset the rival hurl
er. One of the teams finally got a
base runner on second with two out
when a single would likely win the
game.
The baserunner was taking a big
lead off the bag. watching for any
opening to sneak clown to third.
The batter missed two swing and,
angered, asked the umpire to ex
amine the ball.
The catcher was just throwing to
the pitcher when the umpire called
for the ball. He foolishly tried to
check this throw and instead the
ball slipped out of his fingers to
sail over the shortstop's head.
The runner scored standing up.
Naturally there was a tremen
dous yelp when the umpire allowed
the run. He said it was not his
fault that the catcher should throw
the ball to the outfield just because
he asked for a look. The game was
protested but the league upheld the
umpire.

In a game featured by heavy

baseball team of San Benito won
over the Palmez Hatters of this city,

De Los Santos, the San Benito

the first six innings, and had the
Hatters at his mercy, but the locals
came back in the latter stages and
made a desperate attempt to over
come the lead. They fell short by
three scores, and two men were
left stranded on the bases as the
last batter hit a weak roller to the
first baseman in the ninth inning.
Errors played a big part in giving
