(By the Associated Press)
Guns were spiked generally along
the baseball front yesterday as the
major league armies moved into
position for another series of inter
sectional battles, but the Cardinals
found time to lose their tenth
straight while waiting for the oth
er teams to swing into action. The
champions were accommodated by
nobody but the Phillies, who oblig
ingly dropped twenty out of twen
ty-two to St. Louis last year.
Jess Haines made as if to slip
a fast one past Charlie Klein, first
Philadelphia batsman in the ninth
inning, after Master Klein had re
fused to bite at two wide hooks.
The fast one was just to Klein’s
liking, and he drove it high over
the right field wall of Baker bowl
to give the Phils a 10 to 9 decision.
It was his twentieth home run,
and enabled him to keep pace with
Chick Hafey of St. Louis, who pick
ed up his own twentieth earlier in
the game. Bottomley and Whitney
were other home run hitters.
The defeat left the Cardinals
sagging at the bottom of the first
division, only three games ahead of
an improved Brooklyn team. The
reverse marked the sixteenth for
St. Louis in the last eighteen
games.
Reds vs. Giants
The Cardinals will remain in
Philadelphia for a full series, and
the Cubs will invade the citadel of
the Braves today, but the rest of
the intersectional openings will be
delayed until tomorrow. The Reds,
who hold the Giants in no awe, will
come to the Polo Grounds for two
games on the Sabbath after a
farewell brush with Pittsburgh to
day, and the fast-moving Pirates
will settle themselves at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn will entertain at
the Polo Grounds today.
As the Pirates and the Cubs give
each other heart failure in# the
dash toward the National league
stretch, Cornelius McGillicuddy
moves serenely toward his seventh
flag with his two nearest rivals,
the Yankees and the Browns, nine
and one-half games to the rear.
The Mackmen open a series at Chi
cago today as the Yankees and the
Browns begin a fight to see which
shall hold second place for the mo
ment.
The Indians turned back the
White Sox by 11 to 10 in a groggy
game at Cleveland yesterday prior
to the arrival of Boston in Cleve
land and of Washington in Detroit
for two stirring series. The victory
gave the Indians an edge of four
games to two in the extended holi
day engagement.

FORD LISTS
SAFETY RULES
Motorists Told Not to Take
Right-of-Way Too
Seriously
As a contribution towards greater
safety and more pleasant driving
conditions on the highways of the
country this summer, the Ford Mo
tor Company has listed twelve rules
as suggestions to motorists and has
distributed them to dealers over the
country.
Announcement of the suggestions
was made today by Drew Patteson.
Ford dealer in this city, who will
display the list prominently in his
place of business.
“These rules,” said Mr. Patteson,
“are merely common sense as ap
plied to automobile driving. Every
experienced motorist knows all of
them. It is our hope, however, that
by stating them concisely and post
ing them where they will come to
the attention of a great many mo
torists. we can so emphasize them
as to make a real contribution to
wards greater highway safety.”
The twelve rules are:
Courtesy comes first. Consider the
rights and privileges of others.
Keep your mind on your driving,
and anticipate sudden emergencies.
Learn the “feel” of having your
car under control.
Obey all traffic and parking
regulations.
Keep to the right, and comply with
road markings and signs.
Signal for stops and turns—
Watch the car ahead.
Siow down at crossings, schools,
dangerous places. "
Never pass cars on hills, curves,
crossings.
Adapt your driving to road condi
tions—rain, ice, soft spots and ruts.
It doesn’t pay to take the “right
of way” to seriously.
When you drive, remember the
times when you’re a pedestrian.
Know the law. It was passed for
your protection.
“It is estimated that 20,000,000
persons will tour on American high
ways this summer,” Mr. Patteson
continued. “Recognition of the
rights of others will be essential.
Many unpleasantries and accidents
will be avoided if motorists, at times
of close situations, will recall these
rules and act accordingly. They are
the recommendations of the Ford
Motor .company offered to give
greater peace of mind to those who
tra««l by automobile.”

INDIANS LEAD
TEXAS LEAGUE
_ .
Idle Into First Place As Rain
t *
Halts Contest; Cubs
Beat Beaumont
(By the Associated Press)
The Texas league standing today
was so much changed the Athletics
had a hard time recognizing it.
The San Antonio Indians, a few
days ago proposes, were the pow
erful Redman at the top of the
ladder.
The Indians were in their com
manding position in exactly the
same way Shreveport was there
yesterday—it rained and they
couldn’t lose.
Waco, leader a few days ago,
came back yesterday. The Cube de
feated the Beaumonters, 4 to 3.
Beaumont seemed to have the
game sewed up in the ninth inning
with the score 3 to one. With
two men on bases, Felix Vigare up
set everything by shooting a homer
over the left field fence.
The first half champion Dallas
Steers didn’t look so good as the
Fort Worth Panthers played good
baseball to win, 7 to 3. The champs
today held seventh place with a
percentage of 333.
Wichita Falls took a 10 to 8
game from Shreveport at Spud
ville. Despite the big score and a
total of six errors, the game was
played m an hour and fifty min
utes. the fastest game of the day
in the league.
Mighty Buck Herzog
Still Holds Forth
In Athletic Field
NEW YORK, July 6.—(V)—Once a
ball player never the same again.
Particularly in the'case of so im
petuous a star as Charles Lincoln
Herzog, three times a Giant and at
intervals a Brave, Cub, a Red and
an Oriole.
This accomplished member of
John McGraw’s “Speed Boy Cham
pions’’ of 1911-12-13 quit the big
league doamond in 1920 and retired
a year later from Baltimore.
He blossomed out as a baseball
writer but was often on the field
shagging flies when his duty lay
in the press box. Even then he was
not cured and now the mighty Buck
holds down the post of athletic di
rector for the B. and O. railroad, a
position ere?tea for him.
Mr. H:.*z.;g now is quite uigm
fied but the fans still recall his ex
ploits of a generation ago. Mr.
Herzog never was one to sec his
rights imposed upon by an umpire.
He was, in his prime, one of the
greatest impromptu scrappers of
baseball. He would, as the saying
went, fight at the drop of a hat.
If necessary he would drop the hat
himself.
There are those who have seen
the B. and O. employes g' suddenly
baseball mad to bear witness that
Charles Lincoln, in spite of his of
fice and appurtenances, still takes
time out to wrangle for a point on
any railroad diamond wdiieh claims
his presence.
For recreation, he goes to the ball
games and bellows for the blood of
the gentry in the dark blue lounge
suits.

SPORTS TALK
Speaking of baseball—
A hectic horsehide wrangle is in
store for fans who journey to Mata
moros Sunday afternoon to see the
Brownsville Yankees take on the
43rd Mexican cavalry nine in their
third game. Each holds a decision
now. The Fort Brown all-stars cop
ped their first encounter 3-2 in 11
innings and the Mexican cavalry
men came back for a win in the
second contest last Saturday, white
washing the locals, 9-0.
* * *
The 43rd was a bit tired on the
afternoon they lost to the Yan
kees due to a game earlier in the
day with the Palmcz Hat Makers.
They trounced the Brownsville
champs by a healthy score. Sun
day the Yankees state, they will
be out to settle for once and for
all their supremacy over the 43rd.
* * •
The combined forces of the Tigers
and Hat Makers slipped over a cou
ple of wins here on the fourth. They
took the Sinton Grey Sox back of
the woodpile for 6-0 and 4-2 wal
lopings. Salinas hurled beautiful
ball in the last contest. He had
his first one hopping on the corners.
Although he was nicked for eight
hits, he bore down in the pinches
and was given good support afield.
Clements Garcia’s big wrar club was
a potent factor in the locals, vic
tories. Clements, although playing
with an injured leg hobbled to first
safely three times in the last game.
¥ * *
Dick Jeffries got the old salary
wing stretched out at McAllen on
the fourth and the result was that
the San Ben to Pentagons won
io-2 over tne MCAiien legion
naires. Dick, former Valley league
twirler, had the Macks eating out
of his hand. The San Benitans
took a decided liking to “Lefty”
Griffith’s slants and pounded his
wrong-arm slants to all corners
of the diamond. The flv in the
ointment, however, is easily found
by a glance at the box score. The
Macks erred no less than nine
times.

Sunday the Pents will tangle with
Mission on the Harlingen fair
grounds.

"Arty” Helen Wills again reigns
Great Britain as the greatest wo
an singles performer. The final
event friday turned out to be
an all-California affair. Miss
Wills walloped her fellow country
woman, Helen Jacobs, in straight
sets, 6-1, 6-2. This is the third
straight year that Miss W’ills has
captured the coveted British
crown.
* * »
W. L. ("Young) Stribling again is
on his way through the pugilistic
jungles of the United States. His
last victim was Tony Fuente. “W.
L.,” as Pop Stribling refers to him,
took two rounds to knock out Tony
in Birmingham, Ala. This is the
third win for Stribling since he
returned from Yarrop.
* * *
Dr. D. A. Penick, coach of many
I
tennis players of the first water
at the University of Texas, has
put his old familiar bicycle away
in the cellar. The words, “Dr.
Penick,” in Austin for many years
has conjured up a mental picture
of a typical prof astride a bicycle.
Dr. Penick was given an automo
bile recently when Wilmer Allison,
one of his tennis pupils, stepped
into the limelight at Wimbledon,
tRg.
* * *
“Hack” Wilson, generally accred
ited with being the strongest man
in the major leagues, decided to
demonstrate some of his prowess
recently. The Cub outfielder took
offense at remarks from the Reds’
dugout and promptly took measures
to quell the offensive chin music.
He got in several good blows on Ray
Kolp before he was dragged off and
banished from the park. Later at
the railroda station he made a few
passes at Pete Donohue. Wilson, a
hulk of an athlete, can drive 10
penny nails through heavy boards
with his hands.
The latest manager to run afoul
of that certain little thing called
office management,” is Dan How
ley, Howley, according to reports,
is ready to chuck his job as man
ager of the St. Louis Browns.
• • *
The bleacher catcalls and sneers
have once more toppled a hero from
his pedestal. The Fort Worth fans
got to riding Jakey Atz so hard that
the pressure was felt at the Cats’
box office. Jakey, who had given
Fort Worth Six successive pennants,
was told that his services were no
no longer needed. Atz was and
doubtless remained at the time of
his “canning” the greatest manager
in the Texas league.
He has long been recognized as
one of the greatest managers in
minor league ball.
* • *
Jakey was getting about all the
cats had. They are no rip snort
ing outfit for talent. The reason
he wasn’t bringing in pennants
was that he had no Joe Pate, no
Paul Wachtel, no Lefty Johns, no
Clarence Kraft, no Jack Tavener,
Ziggy Sears that he had in pre
vious years. It wouldn’t be at all
surprising to see Atz manager of
the New Orleans Pelicans in the
future. The Crescent city is his
home town.

GOLF WINS HIM
W1FEJ0RT0NE
Francis Stevens, 19, Steps
Into Limelight In Calif
ornia Tournament
DEL MONTE, Cal., July 6.—(JFt—
From the background of medio
crity to a position of golfing prom
inence has stepped Francis Stev
ens, Jr., a chap of 19 summers, who
promises to make more than an
ordinary bid in the national ama
teur championship at Pebble
Beach.
This curly haired youth's golf
won him a bride, a wad of money,
a stock exchange seat and consid
erable renown all in a few months.
An indulgent father provided the
tangible items—the sport pages in
troduced the lad to a public who
had neter heard of him before.
The golfing ability of Stevens’
progress came to light during the
1929 California amateur champion
ship when he finished as runner-up
after wading through a field of fa
vored stars. His fine game and
coolness under fire won him the
admiration of critics whose con
sensus was that, under proper con
ditions, he should go far in the
game.
The Los Angeles boy has been
playing and practicing for years,
but never befre had entered a ma
jor tournament. When he wanted
to get married a couple of months
ago-, his dad said, “Beat me on the
links and we’ll talk it over.”
He did that and entered the state
amateur competition with his golf
ing bride in the gallery. When the
youth worked his way to the semi
finals the father became excited
and said, “Make the semi-finals
and you get $10,000.” The boy col
lected. He lost out in the finals,
but a seat on the Los Angeles ex
change is promised him when he
is 21 years old.
To more thoroughly familiarize
the junior member with the haz
ardous Pebble Beach course the
Stevens family has taken up resi
dence on the Monterey peninsula.
Yankees to Play
43rd Sunday On
Matamoros Field
Intent on revenge, the Browns
ville Yankees will invade Mata
moros Sunday for their third game
with the 43rd Mexican cavalry. The
game is scheduled to get under way
at 3 p. m. on the parade grounds.
The teams have clashed twice so
far with the result that each have
one decision. The Yanks ran away
with a 3-2 11-inning victory in the
first contest. The 43rd came back
last Saturday to set the Yanks on
their haunches for a 9-0 count .
The 43rd has been considerably
reinforced by former Tiger players.
They are unquestionably one of
the strongest amateur aggregations
in the Valley now. They have tak
en the Hatters. Brownsville champ
ions, into camp in addition to
soundly trouncing most other oppo
sition.
Schafner will probably be on the
hillock for the Yankees Sunday
with Young behind the platter to
take his slants.
