BRONCS BEAT
SCORPS 11-5
Magee, Edinburg Catcher,
Hitt Homer With
Bases Loaded
The Edinburg Junior college
Broncs romped on the Brownsville
Junior college Scorpion nine here
Wednesday 5-11, for their second
successive victory over the locals.
The Broncs piled up their win
ding margin by heavy hitting and
untimely errors. They got off to a
good lead in the first inning when
Magee slapped out a home run with
the sacks loaded. The Scorpions
never overcame the five run lead
made in the first innnig.
They came back strong in the
third frame, however, utilizing two
hits, a hit batsman and three trrors
to push across four runs. Sylvester
got a double in this smear.
Powell got himself into trouble
in the fourth inning when he al
lowed two walks, hit a batter and
threw two wild pitches. Coupled
with an error, this cost the locals
three runs.

BEAUMONT TAKES CRACK
AT PATENT COWTOWN CATS
By GAYLE TALBOT. Jr.
The long-awaited invasion by
southern clubs of the northern divi
sion of the Texas league was in
full sway today, with the spotlight
playing on the inaugural between
the league leading Beaumont Ex
porters and the Fort Worth Cats at
Pantherville. Second in interest was
the visit of the Houston Buffs, oc
cupants of second place, to the
Sports orchard at Shreveport.
Although three games do not a
season make, the series at Fort
Worth and Shreveport might well
prow the turning point in the cur
rent chase. If the Exporters and
Buffs get away to a good start on
their first long road trip they
promise to be hard to stop.
Two of the northern outfits drew
what appeared to be soft spots at
the outset of the present invasion.
The Dallas Steers were bracketed
with San Antonio for three days,
and Wichita Falls had every reason
to anticipate easy' pickings at the
expense of the Waco Cubs, shot to
pieces by the Beaumont artillery.
If ewr a club caught a country
licking, the Cubs were the victims
the last three days. As a parting
shot, the Exporters hung a 17 to
4 defeat on Del Pratt's pupils yes
terday'. In three days of target
practice at Katy park the shippers
hung up a record of 45 runs, a mark
that probbaly will stand for the
season.
Houston moved into second place
with its third straight over the
docile San Antonio Indians, 10 to
2. While lefty Reinhardt kept
eight blows scattered to win his
second straight, every man in the
Buff line-up contributed to the
onslaught on Estill and Carson.
A losing streak that had reach
ed four straight was stemmed when
the Spudders waged a spectacular
uphill drive to nose out Dallas, 7
to 6. in their closer. The victory
enabled Wichita to climb Into a tie
with Shreveport for the third rung
as the Sports dropped their final
at Fort Worth, 7 to 1.
Rifles vs. Boxers
MISSION. April 24.—The Mission
30-30* will invade San Benito next
Sunday for a game with the “Box
Makers”.
Rankin, star hurler for the Rifles,
will probably hook up in a hurling
duel with Martlnes, submarine art

The Rifles are in a position to
run their string of wins up to

PHILS. ROBINS
SLUG HEAVILY
Philadelphia Win* 16-15;
38 Hits Made During
Afternoon
By HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer
Between them. Brooklyn and
Philadelphia have abcut the great
est array of sheer slugging talent
any pair of teams In the two major
leagues can produce, but they
haven't displayed It to very good
advantage through the first games
Their blows were rather Ineffective
until they got together yesterday,
and then there were more than
plenty.
It all started when Fresco
Thompson, Phlliie leadoff man. j
stepped up to the plate in the first
inning and drove the ball into the
stands for a home run. It didn't
end until the ninth inning when
Spotts, third Phillie catcher to ap
pear, took advantage of an error
by Flowers to romp home from
third with the run that gave Phil
adelphia a 16 to 15 victory. In be
tween there came 38 hits. 21 of
them going to the Phillies, a parade
of pitchers and pinch hitters ar.d
one big scoring rally after another
Starting with Jim Faulkner and
ending with Bill Clark, the Robins
used six hurlers while the Phillies
called on four. In all 35 players took
part in the game Southern and
Thevenow of Philadelphia and
Frederick and Flowers of Brooklyn
took the leading slugging roles
yielding onlv to Chuck Klein's third
homer of the season.
The Brooklyn-Philadelphia was
the onlv major league game in the
east which survived the wintry
weather. One western contest in
each leamie reached Its end while
Pittsburgh tried to hold Its home
opening against Cincinnati, but
gave it up in the third inning when
a snowstorm swent over the filed
The Chicago Cubs, champions of
the National league last season, go*

to 5. in the other National league
game. The Cubs got five runs In
the third inning only to have the
Cards get them all back again be
fore the ninth. Charley Grimm came
through in the ninth with his third
hit of the game to bring Hack Wil
son home from third with the wln
inng run. Charlev Root, winning his
first game of the year in three
starts, outclassed a trio of Cardinal
pitchers.
The St. Louis Browns were the
only American leaguers to increase
their average, defeating Detroit
for the second time in succession

Mrs. Pharr Seen Winner Of
*********
Texas Women’s Golf Tourney
By GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS, April 24—(A*)——Some 150
fair linksters will be In Texarkana
the week of April 28 ostensibly for
the purpose of settling the Texas
women’s golf championship. What
they actually will do is determine
Just how much better Mrs. P. E.
Pharr is than the remainder of the
field. The matronly Texarkana
shooter literally swamped the field
in last year’s tournament at the
Lakewood country club here, and
she should display at least as great
a superiority in the approaching
meet over her home course
Although well over the 40-year
mark. Mrs. Pharr holds the cham
pionship of two states. Arkansas
and Texas. She Is stockily built
and broad of shoulder and deadly
in earnest about her golf. We fol
lowed her in her final two match
es last year and did not see her
smile. She is, friends say. a gracious
and lovable woman off the links;
but she does not regard a golf
tournament a social affair. She
plays with a grim intentness, ap
parently unmindful of her oppo
nent and the gallery. But, how she
does play that game!
Some one said after the 1929
tournament that it was monotonous
to watch the Texarkana star play.
Where was the kick, asked this
gallerite. in watching a person hole
after hole drive straight down the
middle, pitch onto the green and
then take two putts? That is her
came. She has heard there is a
“rough” that borders the fairway,
but lets it go at that. In her two
last matches last year, at least,
she was not once off the straight
and narrow. Her drives average
perhaps 200 yards and she is un- j
cannily accurate with her Irons.
Close followers of the feminine
division say there is only one wo
man in the state capable of mafcch
.ng Mrs. Pharr’s game and she. un
fortunately, has grown tired of
tournament play. Mrs. Jack Lap
ham of San Antonio won the title
;o manv times and with such ease
that she did not attend last year's
meet, going east with Mr. Lapham
Instead. It is not known whether
she will compete in the approach
mg tourney at Texarkana, but if
she does the gallery can be assured
o! some fireworks.
Mrs. Lapham, like Mrs. Pharr,
approached middle-age before she
reached the peak of her game. She
likewise is a powerful woman, cap
able of driving tremendous distan- i
ces. In recent years she has played
almost exclusively with the better
masculine talent at the San An
tonio country club, accepting no
handicap. The club professional,
Tom Lally. frequently Is her op
ponent.
With hundreds of the state’s
young women taking up the game
seriously In recent years, it is
strange that the two outstanding
players would be of the senior divi
sion. perhaps 10 years older than
a majority of their tournament ad
versaries. The situation apparently
bears out the theory that athletics
do not come naturally to the wo
man as to the man; that It takes
a certain number of years for the
feminine muscles to become "ath
letic conscious" and supple.
