TEXANS LEAD
BY BLACKERBY
Cub Pounding Horsehide At
.382 Clip; Barnabe
Tops Hurlers
%
DALLAS, July 22.—<£»)—Taking
advantage of a return to his beloved
Katy Park to bat at a furious clip
for a week, George Blackerby, Waco
star, again forged ahead of his chief
rival, Langford, Shreveport, in the
ritce for Texas league hitting hon
ors. Through Thursday’s games the
clouting Cub had compiled an av
erage of .382, compared to Lang
ford^ .374.
Unless he slumps in the closing
months, Blackerby stands a ’ fine
chance to gain the distinction of be
ing the first player to lead the
league two consecutive seasons. He
also is second in homers, with 19,
and third in total hits.
Other leading macemen were:
Bennett (wf) .369; J. Moore (ds>
.368; Rosenthal (ds) .363; Starr (st)
.354; Ban ton wf .354; Sullivan (wf)
.353; Kelly (bm) .351.
Randy Moore, Dallas gardener,
clung to his lead in total hits, with
147. Eddie Moore, Fort Worth, had
141. Whelan, Shreveport, has proved
a valuable man to the Sports by
scoring 96 times. Eddie Moore and
Rabbit Benton are tied for second
in this respect, each with 92 pay
offs.
The speedy Fort Worth Moore is
In a class by himself in banging
triples. He has reached the third
station 18 times, almost twice that
of his closest rival. Larry Cox.
Moore’s running mate, has smacked
33 doubles, compared to 31 each for
Randy Mosge and Fitzgerald of the
Spuds.
The race for homer honors has
evolved into a question of how
many Bob Sanguinet of the Cubs
will hit. He had poled 25 through
Thursday’s contests. Blackerby had
19, Mellano and Bennett 18 apiece.
It is noted that three of the four
leaders enjoy much of their target
practice in the small Waco park.
Stewart, flashy Sport rookie, and
Pepper Martin, Buff speed boy, were
deadlocked in base thefts, each with
23. Flaskamper, Dallas, and Whe
lan. Shreveport, each had 20.
Barnabe, Dallas southpaw, led
the pitchers parade with 14 victories
and three defeats. Payne of the
Spudg also had won 14 games. Mes
senger, San Antonio, still was ahead
in strikeouts, with 79.
Wichita Falls led in club offense
with an average of .309 and had
scored the most runs. Dallas, with
a team batting mark of .308. also led
in total hits and doubles. Houston
led in triples, Waco in home runs
and Shreveport in stolen bases.

i back and forth between first anu
second almost throughout the race.
Dean Porter came in third taking
and hour and 3014 minutes to round
the course. Paul Cottrell was fourth
in an hour and 33 minutes. Judge
A. W. Cameron failed to finish after
getting away to a good start over
the first lap.
The race was exceptionally close,
all four of the finishers coming m
within seven minutes of each other
A light southeast breeze spanked
the catboats along at a fair rate
of speed. It was estimated that they
made as high as six and seven miles
an hour at times.
The water was rough in the morn
ing and unsuited to powerboat rac
ing, but the outboard events were
run off. Class B was won by Baby

chance to show their best speed

himself. In practice spins it has
done around 40 miles an hour.

HOT CAMPAIGN
SEEN IN 1930
Governor’s Race Expected
To Be One of Bitterest
In Recent Years
AUSTIN, July 22.—The Texas
governor’s race will open early, get
started in high and run to perhaps
one ofthe bitterest campaigns in re
cent years, according to indications
shaped up by developments in the
legislative session just closing. Sen.
Thomas B. Love, leader of a fac
tion in the state controversy, will
open Tuesday of the coming week at
Cleburne, and from then on, with
six candidates already in the field,
and others assured, the campaign
is expected to sweep forward in
growing intensity until primary
election day next July. And it has
good prospects of being a real cam
paign on through to the November
general election, according to long
range forecasters.
Entrance of Sen. Love and Lieut.
Gcv. Barry Miller into the govern
or’s race, during the past 30 days,
seems to indicate clearly that since
they are exponents of the two ex
treme points of view in the Smith
Koover campaign last year, that the
wet-dry , bolter-anti-bolter. Tam
many-anti-Tammanv. issues of the
national campaign will furnish fuel
for the governor’s race.
Sen. Love refused to support
Smith, but voted for all state nom
inees. He is starting his campaign
early. He is the first to open his
apneal to the people.
In this, it was believed he foresees
possible controversy or litigation
over placing his name on the demo
cratic ballot, in view of the pro
nouncement of State Chairman D.
W. Wilcox that those who failed to
vote the ticket all the way down the
line would be disciplined in the next
state election.
Sen. Love last year withdrew from
the lieutenant governor's race when
several county committees excluded
his name from the ballot.
The four other candidates wrho
are also in the field are former
Mayor O. F. Holcombe. Houston:
Rep. T. N. Mauritz of Ganado. ex
nonent ofthe state income tax. E. G.
Senter of Dallas, court-reform ad
vocate, and Miss Katie Daffan of
Ennis. Entrance of former U. S.
Sen. Earle B. Mayfield is virtually
certain, and former Gov. Pat M.
Neff has announced.
Sen. Love’s action in starting his
campaign exactly a year before pri
mary election day has its precedent
in the race of former Gov. Neff.
Neff made his opening speech a year
to the day before the election, and
kept at the campaign every day of
the year.
Sen. Love already Is saying "there
won’t be any second primary
500,000 dry democrats will vote me
the nomination next July.
Lieut. Gov. Miller, while announc
ing he will be a candidate, said he
will not begin his campaign until
after next March, when he retires
from office as state head of the Odd
Fellowrs’ lodge.
