BATTLE LINES SHIFTED AROUND IN TEXAS LEAGUE TODAY
- «
Northern Clubs To
Invade Southerners
For S trength Test
Wml By the Asociated Press.
BattlBmes shifted in the Texas League today as the teams lined
up for thf first intersectional battles of the year. Northern clubs in
vaded southern camps for the first test of strength between the two
divisions. Waco was host to Shreveport, and Dallas, after taking three
lickings from Wichita Falls, looked forward to an encounter with
Eagle track representatives will
leave with Coach Douglas Fessen
den either Wednesday or Thurs
day for Austin to enter in the
State Interscholastic track and
field meet.
* * •
Coach Fessenden has not decided
just yet who will be taken on the
trip though he does know that there
will be three and two of them will
be "Boy” Newman and Dan Barn
hart. That leaves only one vacancy
to fill.
* * *
The above mentioned trio with
Cabler making it a quartet re
turned Sunday night from the fi
esta meet at San Antonio. New
man brought home a first place
having won the broad jump as ex
pected. He leaped 21 feet 10
inches under the mark set by him
at the district meet. “Boy” has a
good chance to cop the event at
the state meet if he doesn’t get
excited and is in good shape.
* • *
Dan Barnhart placed third in the
high jump, topping the cane at 5 ft.
11 inches. Cabler entered the dis
cus and the javelin throws but failed
to grab a place.
When the various high schools
assemble their representatives at
Austin for the state meet this week
end there will be some old state
records -that will be tampered with.
It is s^ftpst a cinch that some will

director Roy B. Henderson this
week-end and then the boys will
know definitely who they will
meet first, second and etc., next
fall.

Of especial interest will it be to
the Eagles for they will known then
who will their first foe as they en

they will meet the first two or three
times will mean a great deal to
them. It will have a lot in deciding
tow far Brownsville is going in the
state race.

If the Eagles can win a bi-dis
trict game next fall they will have
made a splendid showing. If they
go to the semi-finals they will
have done something extraordi

title they will have accomplished
something that many a person to

tSan Antonio. The rampaging
Spuds locked horns with the Buffs
at Houston, while Jakey Atz led
his Cat aggregation into Beaumont.
Del Pratt’s Cubs ran their win
ning to 13 in 15 games by beat
ing Beaumont 4 to 2 in an abbre
viated contest yesterday. Rain
took a hand, stopping the game
after the Cubs had chased over the
winning two runs in the sixth. It
was Pitcher Earl Caldwell's fourth
victory of the season.
The Buffs took a final kick at
the departing Indians, knocking
them off by 9 to 5 for a cellar per
centage of .200. The veteran Paul
Wachtel was nicked for 15 hits,
but the Indian defense wiggled and
woggled and the Buffs ran their
dozen hits into nine tallies.
The Cats took a parting shot at
the Shreveport Sports, who suc
cumbed to a barrage of 16 hits, 12
to 7. Atz was evicted from the
park in the sixth for too volubly
portesting a strike called on First
Baseman Riley.
The Spuds put on an exhibition
of hard slugging to bowl the Steers
over for the third straight time, 6
to 4. Milt Stock called on his re
serves for pinch itters in the sev
enth and ninth, but the effort was
fruitless. Chick Galeria, four-eyed
rookie left-hander went the route
for the Spuds. He blanked the
Steers without a hit in four in
nings.

HOOPER HOLDS I
SHAW TO DRAW
Brooks, Sada and Monterrey
Winners of Bouts In
Mercedes Ring
MERCEDES, April 30.—Giving
Batting Shaw, 133 pounds, of Mer
cedes, just exactly what he did not
like for the first five rounds, j
Brooks Hooper, 134 pounds, of San
Antonio, got a draw decision with
the home town boy in the main
event on Promoter A1 Robinson’s
fight card Monday night.
Shaw’ popularity evidently is on
the wane for the crowd repeatedly
cheered Hooper’s work in the early
rounds in wrhich he outsmarted his
opponent. Shaw made several claims
of a foul which the referee did not
allow and which the fans jeered.
With the wiley Jack Taylor, veteran
trainer and second, in his corner,
Hooper carried the opening rounds
easily. One of Shaw's main stocks
in trade is his ducking, weaving
style. He appears his best when
his opponent forces the fight to
him. However, this is exactly what
Hooper did not do. As Shaw be
gan to Weave, Brooks feinted him
out of it and nailed him when he
stopped weaving. Hooper made
Shaw take the aggressive.
Shaw tSeps Out
Prom the fifth round on, however,
Shaw began to force the fight and
to obtain an edge. They staged a
rough and tumble in the seventh
that had the crowd on its feet.
Hooper’s eye had been injured and
Shaw was opening up his assault.
Shaw carried the ninth round by a
wide margin as Brokos rested up for
the canto that he expected to give
him the fight. Shaw landed a one
two several times in this stanza.
The last round was fast with both
trying hard to take it. Little dam
age was done, however, and the
referee raised both fighters’ hands
shortly after the bell rang. The de
cision was not entirely popular, as
the house was strongly partisan for
either Shaw or Hooper.
Hot Incident
Adding zest to the evening's gore
letting. "Cow boy” Brooks, 166
pounds, of South Dakota, was
awarded his bout with Frankie
Kline, 168 pounds of Weslaco, on a
foul. The foul came in the fourth
round when Kline speared Brooks
and sent him to the floor near the
ropes. As Brooks staggered up.
Kline was on him again. He deliv
ered several blows while the "Cow
boy” was on his knees holding on to
ithe ropes. An indignant roar
swelled from _part of the crowd.
The fight was halted and the judges
consulted. One held that the blows
had been a "flagrant foul,” the other
that there had been no foul, and
the referte stated it was a “techni
cal” foul.
Kline, evidently angered, hurled
out a challenge to Brooks for a
return bout. The challenge was
hissed and booed.
Sada Wins Easily
Jesse Sada, 130 pounds, of Laredo,
outpointed Babe Gaylor, 132 pounds,
of San Antonio, in an eight-round
shindig. Sada was easily the bet
ter boxer of the two but could not
put the K. O. on his opponent, al
though he had him haggard and
tired. The sad-eyed Laredo youth
administered his customary boxing
yeccon. His face seemed to bemoan
the fact that he had to beat up his
opponent, but his fists had no
qualms about it.
In the opening bout. Kid Mon
terrey. 125 pounds, of Mercedes, eas
ily put away Danny Hall, 125
pounds, of Fort Sam Houston, in
the fourth round of their scheduled
eight-round battle. This bout was
marred by many clinches, largely
on the part of hall, who was ex- (
tremely cautious. Monterrey chased
his covered-up opponent for three
rounds, endeavoring to land a solid
punch. The dumpy little Mercedes
lad stepped out strong in the fourth.
Hall, who appeared out on his feet,
nailed Monterrey with a wild over
hand right that sent him halfway
across the ring. Hall failed to fol
low it up. Monterrey came back in
furious retaliation and soon had him
on the canvas for the count.

Athletics Romp On
Champion Yanks tor
Sweet Revenge, 10-1
By HERBERT W. BARKZR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
The flying start that was carried consecutive American league pen
nants seems to be absent this year. In past years the Yankees h we
broken their rivals’ hearts by getting away to a fast start and piling
up such " huge lead that a late slump was not fatal. But this year the
champions have not started impressively at all. Two weeks of campaign
ing i mas tnem m tnira place with
five wins and four defeats. They did
not suffer their fourth reverse last
season until May 2 when they had
won 11 games.
The Philadelphia Athletics, chief
sufferers from the Yankee scourge
last season, are gaining revenge.
Yesterday they fell on Henry John
son and Gordon Rhodes for eight
big hits to down the champions, 10
to 1. Mule Haas and A1 Simmons
each hit for the circuit with one on
in the fourth and Mickey Cochrane,
after clearing the bases with a tri
ple in the eighth, added insult to in
jury by stealing home while Rhodes
was winding up.
Behind good pitching by Sam
Gray, the St. Louis Browns clung
to first place, a step ahead of the
Athletics, by defeating Detroit, 3 to
2, in 10 innings. Sorrell gave Gray
a great argument but weakened in
the first extra inning when the
Browns pushed over the winning
run.
The Chicago White Sox hopped
all over four Cleveland pitchers to
turn in a 13-4 triumph. Lyons was
hit freely but the Indians wasted
most of their i3 hits.
Over in the National league, the
Chicago Cubs could not do much
with Donohue except in the sixth
inning when they bunched five hits
for four runs, enough to beat Cin
cinnati, 4 to 3. Root kept the Reds’
nine hits fairly well scattered and
fanned eight.
Pittsburgh lost more than a ball
game at St. Louis where the Card
inals eked out a 7 to 3 victory with
the aid of considerable generosity'
by Pirate pitchers. The defeat didn’t i
hurt Donie Bush half so much as
did an injury to Burleigh Grimes, j
his star righthander. Grimes was
hit by a batted ball in the third
inning and had to retire.
West Texas Getting
Set To Open League
(By The Associated Press)
The feverish sale of tickets in
six West Texas cities today heralded
the near approach of its league’s
baseball season. Wednesday, Ball
inger. Coleman and Big Spring will
meet §an Angelo, Abilene and Mid
land, respectively, in the first games
of the long pull.
The porspect of a finer class of
baseball—less clouting and fewer er
rors—seemed to exert a benign in
fluence on the purchase of tickets.
Each city will try to win the at
tendance cup.
