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.

TIGERS BEAT B0XMEN21-2 Matamoros Players Star 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 Alphonso-Gastoned. The individual star of the game was Mejilla. orange jerseyed out fielder from the Matamoros gar rison. Out of six trips to the plat ter. he obtained five hits, one of 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 singles each.
