PHONE I BEAUMONT IS STILL STRONG Experts Crossed Up When Exporters Romp On Cats 4-1 By GAYLE TALBOT, Jr, Associated Press Sports Writer Those students of the national pastime who predicted the Beau mont Export res would wilt once they came in oontact with the so called “tough" clubs of the north ern division received something of a jolt yesterday as Manager Del Baker’s clouters polished off the Port Worth Panthers, 4 to 1, in their debut on the Trinity. As a result the Shippers today found themselves two full games ahead of the pack. In 3'ears past certatin southern clubs have invaded the upper section in early season full of vim, vigor and paprika, only to fizzle out like a damp firecrack er. Last year it was the San An tonio Indians. But the Exporters appear to be a different article. There was nothing to indicate the club was a morning glory in the way it went about its work yester day. While Muleshoe Vaughn kept nine Cat hits well scattered to reg ister his third victory, the siege guns of the Export lineup bunched their eight blows off the veteran Bill Clarkson. They sewed it up with a two run splurge in the ninth. Buffs Beaten Houston, the second southern threat, fared not so well in its northern premiere, losing to Shrev eport. 7 to 4. and dropping back a notch. The Buffs scored all their runs off Senor Oscar Estrada in the first frame before Bill Morrell could get warmed up. After Mor rell went in thev were helpless. The S'.mrts knocked Littlejohn loose with a three-run rally in the second and then pounded out a victory off his successor, Joe Brown. Two big innings enabled the bedraggled Waco Cubs to take their opener from Wichita Palls. 11 to 5. and break a losing streak. Thev j cracked down on young Lester; White for four runs in the first, but he stuck around until they had dented the plate five more times in the seventh before giving way i to Galeria. Lefty Thormahlen got j credit for the victory, although j Thurman relieved him in the sev enth. Walter Tauscher limited the San j Antonio Indians to six hits in the inaugural et Dallas, the Steers win ning 12 to 2. 1 Veteran Ehmke Gets in Word ¥ X X. If • Sf, y x ^ x Or Two for Benefit of Youths BY EDWARD J. NEIL Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, April 25.—(/P)—How ard Ehmke, lanky veteran with the slow smile and the slower curve that confounded experts and Chi cago Cubs alike in the last World’s Series, has a reassuring message for baseball-minded youth. Not only are better young ball players coming into the big leagues all the tune, but the caliber of the youths has Improved steadily since Howard first wandered Out to a big league pitching mound in Detroit fourteen years ago. Furthermore, opportunity and financial rewards for youngsters never were greater than today. -They say good young pitchers aren't coming up to the big leagues any more,” he snorted aa he wann ed up in a hotel lobby, for the chill outside prevented a ball game. •That's false. Look at Liebhardt, Mahon and Mahaffay. all newcom ers to the Athletics this spring. All fine young pitchers. Youngsters Get Aid "All a kid coming in needs is natural ability and ambition. He’ll Rioting Casualties Estimated at SO PESHAWAR, India, Ap^JUaajigg —Casualties In serious rioting Sere! Wednesday were estimated as more than 50. Three British soldiers were among the dead. Peace has been restored, however, and British troops rushed up for the emergency are being withdrawn. CENSORS NEWS BOMBAY. India, April 25—<JP>— Reports here today were that the Indian government had clamped a censorship on news from Punjab and northwest frontier province, in which Perhawar is located. An official statement at Simla, summer capital, said some political agitators jailed at Peshawar, wers taken to Charsadda to prison. A crowd collected outside the jail, but the constabulary dispersed It without bloodshed. Honeymoon NAPLES. April 25—/P—In the idyllic surroundings of the isle of Capri, where the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius spent their holidays, Edda Mussolini, daughter of Italy’s dictator, and her husband. Count Galeasso Ciano, today began their honeymoon. P-1 14—2000 FARMERS HANKOW. April 23—Chinese press dispatches received here to day reported that 2.000 farmers, forced to join the ranks of the communists, had been slain during battles with government troops near the northeast Hupeh province towr of Shinte. find all the veterans eager to teach him. He’ll find clear, whole some athletes to live and team with. The unkempt element has gone from baseball. “Young pitchers usually arrive with a lot of speed and stuff and things to learn. Usually they learn i rhythm, poise and to field their position. Experience comes with these, and then you have a real pitcher.” The big blonde with the aching | arm, permanent reminder of an old j Injury, climbed to his feet and' scratched an lmmaulnary pitching rubber on the rug. He took his < stance and except for Ills clothes, looked exactly as he did when he stepped out of obscurity last fall to, baffle the Cubs, win the first game of the World's series for the A*s. and pile up 13 strikeouts. “How to Pitch” “Most new pitchers place the forward part of the right foot on the rubber so that the foot points directly at the batter. During the windup they must turn the foot so that It points to third base. That throws the body out of line, the rhythm Is lost, and the ball doesn’t go exactly where you want It. The cure Is to point your foot to third base before you start ,j^g itodnp. “YMlgsters should pick out four ’good pitchers and study their style Instead of trying to copy something from every thrower they see. I ad vise the new pitchers to study Herb Pennock of the Yanks, Ted Lyons of the White Sox, George Uhle of the Tigers, and Sam Jones of Wash ington. I believe they have the best styles.” I 42 PORTS CHATS \ ####»»####»###»»##»»»####»■ ay With Hal Eustace l wm mm mm mm m When the sun rises at 10 p. m„ Never going below the rim; When Scout* refuse to camp, Mission may not be the champ. FOR THE umpteenth time, the Mission high Eagles are baseball champions of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. It seems to be the dreadful habit of which the remainder ofj tiie field cannot I break them. For I lo these 17 years I the Eagles have I been the Long horns of the Val ley. Various and sundry coaches have played the role of Uncle Bil ly Disch, b u tjj Sports Chats be Ileves tne present coacn — nouuv Cannon — is the greatest of the lot. When Mission school heads signed a contract with Bobby, they automatically assured themselves of another Valley baseball champion ship. THURSDAY the Eagles defeated the Harlingen high Cardinals. Cam eron county champions, 913 in the second game of the series for the title. Their first victory at Mission was a convincing 17-3 affair. This | little crew of hustlers have their t first game to lose this season. In the near future they will engage Faifunvs in a bi-district series. In view of the fact that the Cards recently took the Fa’.furrias crew for a ride, it is reasonable to expect the Valley boys to vanquish the Jersies. ONLY bi-district championships are recognized by the interscholastic | league. The heads at Austin are paying more and more attention to baseball and it is conceivable that in the future a high school state championship rtyc will be worked out. Too bad it's net working this year, for Bobby's crew has a good chance to go high. IF ANYONE is of the opinion that Brownsville will not have a baseball club this season, they had better come out and watch the boys step through practice and revise said opinion. From present indica tions. the locals will have a club that can step with the best the Val- j ley has to offer. The boys are prac- t firing each afternoon after five on the American legion diamond. In- j terest is growing rapidly and ad-! J ditianal players are turning out each afternoon. FRITZ BALL, fast junior collage infielder, la the latest to don a uniform for the locals. He Is a fast fielder with a powerful whip. He has not gotten his eye on the ball as yet. but is expected to start belt ing them a ‘‘fur piece” soon. J. W. Irvine—none other than the dough ty “Red'’ himself—took a turn at first base the other day. He cov ered the initial sack in such fine style that Nig Johnson squlntei icross the diamond and asked “Who is that kid out there?" At present first base is a problem with the locals. Red would solve it handily if he could find time. Several years back, the Brownsville athletic men tor was the best first sacker aromi San Antonio. MAURICE PIPKIN, perhaps the best all around athlete in the Brownsville school system, is try ing for an outfield position. Pipkin fields acceptably and whangs the apple out viciously. Wednesday he slapped out three healthy blows against Van Dresar. Edinburg Jun ior college 6tar hurler. A FLOCK of injuries have assail ed the camp of the locals. Thurs day Rocha hooked a cleat on the plate as he slid home, twisting an ankle. He played the remainder of the game, however, and it Is be lieved he will be in condition for the tilt here Sunday with the San Benito indenenden's. Ramos, catch er, suffered an In lured finger the day before. Ramos is in line for first string hind-snatch. The old man himself. Nig Johnson got hurt. Just to round things out. He was standing behind the catcher watch ing Salinas and Williams hook them over. A fast one broke sharply, got awav from the catcher and hit Nig on the knee. It was some time be fore he could walk. TEX BECERRIL and Ken Macev are getting together in an effort to bring boxing back to the Valley. They arc planning a card to be put on Cineo de Mayo in Matamoros. These boys need no introduction. Tex has been associated with box ing in the Valiev for some time, acting as the big sack man—that is. promoter. However, he gave us several excellent card3 and wants to try again. Ken Macev. a wind mill fighter, was a nonular stable mate with the game little Dick Wy mcre under Doc Cock. Tn ENDEAVORING to line un the card, they are dickering with Battling Shaw, erstwhile Mercedes favorite. Kid Ruiz. San Antonio pounder. K'.d Monterrev who tamed Guerra, the Sar. Benito Roofer, Johnny Cruz, clever little battler who has fought the best in the southwest, and others of their ilk ELECTION time is near. We hope no uncouth rowdy asks Guv'nor Dan what’s wrong with boxing. It would be mast embarrasing at th's time. Since that Digest poll cn Prohibition there seems to be no “sure fire” planks left. U.
