Begin Invasion of
South With Success
, By GAYLE TALBOT. JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
Northern clubs began their latest invasion of the southland in an
tuspicious manner yesterday, only Beaumont turning back the invaders.
Dallas and Shreveport maintained their relative positions at the top of
Ihe ladder with victories over the Indians and Cubs, respectively, while
the rejuvenated Spudders were climbing into third place by thumping
‘-he Buffs. --—-!
The rise of Jim Galloway's slug
gers into the first division within
rive days, after they narrowly had
escaped routing the Exporters out
of the basement, easily was the
mo6t significant occurrence of the
past week's warfare. After drub
bing the Panthers four straight,
the Oilers continued their rampage
by bumping the Bisons. 8 to 4. in
their series opener by the bayou.
The setback dumped the Dixie
champions very definitely into the
cell, leaving them a full game be
hind the rampaging Exporters, who
greeted Jakey Atz's crew with a 6
to 3 licking. Eddie Moore, Cat ball
hawk, was the whole show’ for his
team, rapping a triple, double and
two singles and scoring all of the
Port Worth runs.
One big inning, the second. In
Which they clouted Nick Dumovitch
from the hill and scored eight runs
was sufficient to give the Sports
g 13 to 8 verdict over the Cubs in
the series inaugural at Waco. Nick
was jerked after he had filled the
sacks with walks and thrown Die'*:
Cox a homerun ball.
Charlie Barnabe, the league’s
leading moundsman. marked up his
ninth victory aginst two defeats as
the Steers opened their stand at
San Antonio with a 6 to 4 decision
The Dallas southpaw wras in rare
form, allowing only two scattered
hits the first six innings, both by
Leo Casey. Indian homerun hero.
CLUBS DICKER
FOR LAVENDER
Dallas Groups Would Wel
come Back State Champ
BWith Open Arms
ALLAS. June 10.—(Pi—That
leading golf clubs of the state are
kwake to the advantages or sup
porting a winner is reflected in the
announcement from authoritative
sources that Dennis l avender of
Abilene, new state ama'eur cham
pion. will be representing a Dallas
club when next year s tournament
rolls around.
Lavender, originally a Dallas boy.
Was said to have expressed a de
sire to return here, and members of
a local club lost no tin.e in telling
him It could be arranged. Whether
the 19-year-old phenom. whose
star seems to be in the ascendency,
will accept the offer Is a thing lor
the future to determine.
No matter what club he repre
sents Lavender will be a threat in
sny tournament he enters after.
He displayed his mettle in last
week's state meet. when, after elim
inating four formidable rivals, he
fought his way to a 1 up "Mary over
Lanham Connor. Dailis youth. In
a gruelling 36-hole final sMugglc.
In addition to his prowess with
the sticks, the Abilene youth ap
pears to have a perfect golfing tem
perament. He was the most delib
erate player in the tournament. He
kept his opponents’ neive k*ycd to
a high pitch after reaching the
green, refusing to putt until he had
surveyed the path of *iis ball min
utely and then taken four or live
practice putts, very slowly .to be sure
he hadn't forgotten how. Time and
again in the final bout, after one of
Lavender’s long seances on the
green. Connor would sten up liur
riedly and rap his ball without more
than a perfunctory glance nt the
cup.

game marked by heavy hitting and
errors from 4he La Feria nine on

three errors by smacking out five
blows in as many trips to the plat

are a double, a triple and a home
run.
The Palmez nine got out In front
in the first inning, socking out a
barrage of hits that sent five run

of the team's five errors.

Brownsville Sunday, speaking from \

For Local In Farce
Contest
The play of three Matamoros
soldiers proved a big help to the
Brownsville Tigers Sunday when j
they whipped the San Benito Box
and Crate company nine from pillsr
to post to the merry tune of 21-2
on the Palm Courts diamond
The Tigers played well-nigh er
rorless ball while Salinas and
Sanchez held the San Benito ag
gregation to nine well scattered
hits. Eleven misplays by the box
and crate men contributed almost
as much to Brownsville's victory
as did the 14 blows obtained by
the Tigers.
The Tiger's only error was one
of judgement. Perez, second base,
and Cortlnas, right fielder, let a
pop fly drop between them as they

The individual star of the game
was Mejilla. orange jerseyed out
fielder from the Matamoros gar
rison. Out of six trips to the plat

which was a single in the first in
ning bringing in two runners.
Rocha, another Matamoros player,
obtained only two hits but scored
four times. Sanchez, the third
player from across the Rio Grande,
failed to connect but scored three
runs. He got on the bags four
times due to San Benito errors.
Castillo and Martinez were best
hitters the crates and box men had
to offer. They obtained a pair of
