EVERYTHING
^hite Sox Take Thrilling
2-1 Encounter From
St. Louis
BY HUGH S. rULLERTON JR.
John McGrew and his New York
Giants once more are starting out
to upset the baseball .lope. The
Giants suffered severely from bad
spring weather and seemed due for
a lot of early beatings. Whereupon
they stepped to the front by win
ning !f:ven successive games skid
now are the only undefeated team
in either major league.
The Giants have shown every
thing a club needs to win a pen
nant. The lirst three games were
close, but effective pitching and
line fielding gave them the edge.
Then they started hitting and still
retained the other points of ad
vantage. Four Giant pitchers have
gone the lull distance in the seven
games, while the other three could
easily have lasted.
Robins Fall
The Brooklyn Robins became the
seventh victims of the Giants yes
terdav the New Yorkers hit the
ce.ivJKes of Bill Clark and Johnny
T!o#fcaJor 14 solid blows which
produced a 10 to 4 score.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, chief
threat to Giant supremacy, in the
National League, continued their
brilliant progress by defeating the
champion Chicago Cubs. 9 to 5, for
their seventh straight victory.
The Boston Braves likewise broke
out as heavy hitters when Burleigh
Grimes In his debut as a hub pitch
er made 17 blows good for a 13 to 4
victory over Philadelphia.
The St. Louis Cardinals used
their blows effectively, combining
them with seven walks to beat Cin
cinnati 10 to 5. ,
Washington's Senators continued
i to strengthen their hold on the
i top rung of the American League
1 ladder by defeating the world cham
pion athletics for the third time
.n succession. 11 to 6.
White Sox Win
Tha Chicago White Sox and st
Louis Browns produced some sur
prising results in a hard-fought
battle that went to Chicago by a 2
to 1 score. A record which had
stood 39 years without being se
rit^ly threatened, was equalled in
tlurW’Wftc when Clancy, White Sox
first baseman, went through nine
innings without a putout or an as
sist.
The Detroit Tigers broke a losing
Streak of seven games by hammer
ing Wes Ferrell of Cleveland for
five runs in the first inning and
taking the last game of the senes
1 to i. _
Nineteen hits by the Boston Red
Sox proved better than Babe Ruth's
second home run of the year, al
though the homer came with two
on base in the ninth inning, and
the Sox gained an 8 to 7 victory
over the New York Yankees.

’ “Juries have jinxed the team from |

Lester Bell big Cub investment
In the attempt to plug up the third
base post, still is suffering from a
lame arm. and he. too. may not get
in any more games than the
■Rajah’. Added to that, the pitch
ing staff is far from ready, and the
big flock of promising rookies, ob
tained over winter to bolster the
pitching staff, is not so promising
now.
Added to all these “bearish" de
velopments has been the break in
the weather. Of all the teams in the
National League, the Cubs need
stalling time. Yet. they are the only
ones in the circuit to be denied it.
They have played every day since

TENNIS HEAD
! PLAYS SURVEY
Dailey Will Go to Europe
With Wightman Cup
Team of U. S.
NEW YORK. April 28—Louis B
■ Dailey, president of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association. Is
going abroad with the United States
Wightman cup team this year to
direct the team and at the same
; time gather first hand impresisons
as to the tennis problems on a
score of European nations.
| One subject into which he in
, tends to inquire, says an official
i announcement by the U. S. L. T. A.,
, will be the action of the Interna
tional Lawn Tennis Federation in
rejecting at its annual meeting in
Paris on March 21. the proposed
1 amendment which would have per
J mined the holding of an open
championship in this country.
“From reports received from the
U. S. L. T. A. representatives at
this meeting." the official announce
ment said, “it would appear that
the delegates to the international
federation conference did not vis
ualize the tennis conditions in the
United States which lead to the
proposal of an open championship
! here. The amendment evidently was
I Judged, and rejected, from a stand
point of conditions in Europe, and
| it is the hope of President Dailey
that after interviews and exchange
: of ideas with the officials of the
associations abroad, it may be pos
I sible to develop a better under
j standing and viewpoint of this ani
I other important tennis maters.”

UMPIRE baiting has long been a
favorite sport of the baseball fan
The pair working the Brownsville -
San Benito tilt here yesterday came
in for plenty of ragging. With a
San Benito man going from second
1 to third. Red Irivne cut loose with
a heave first to third that appar
ently had the runner out several
feet. The umpire, however, held that
the runner slid under De la Rosa's
tag. The crowd raged and fumed,
threatening to take the field. This
demonstration evidently had some
I effect, for Hizzoner seemed to call
the close ones in favor of the
(locals from then on out.
AFTER another little mix-up
over a decision, Ralph Schmeling
took the field In the role of arbiter.
Personally, we like Ralph’s work
and like to see him call them. He
has an authoritative air about him
and has looked them over enough
to understand the inner workings
of the game. Sgt. Hank Henry out
at the post is another likely look
ing umpire. Hank sings them out
loud and leaves no doubt. Reminds
us of a yarn we saw the other day.
When Tombstone was in its heyday
as a rough and tumble silver camp,
the boys decided to stage a ball
game. No one would take the res
ponsibility of calling them. Finally
a little crippled fellow volunteered.
With a flourish of his six-shooter,
he announced his decisions would be
final.
8AINO ROCHA. Brownsville short
stop. looked like a million dollars
yesterday. He accounted for one of
Brownsville's scores by stealing
home from second base. As our
artist caught him Just before up
setting Rubber Campbell:
FELIPE MORENO, pitcher, catch -
1 er or what have you, of the Hat
Makers, had a good day against the
Rangers yesterday. Felipe whiffed
14 visiting batters and allowed
but five hits.

Injuns Defeat
Sports
(By The Associated Press)

was sitting on top of the league,
having won 19 out of Its first 21
games, today had a firm hold on

defeat from Fort Worth yesterday.
It was the Panthers' third con
secutive victory, and Manager
Pancho Snyder drove in the tying
and winning runs with a double in
the seventh. Henry Hardaway, af
ter relieving Schupp at the start
of the second inning, allowed the
Cubs only four hits and two un
earned runs. Today they were
matched for another tilt.
The Shreveport Sports used six
pitchers, but were unable to stop
San Antonio in a combat at Shrev
eport. where the Indians conquer
ed, 15 to 8. They also were to meet
again today.
The Beaumont Exporters, invad
ing Wichita rails, were scheduled
for another game today after de
feating the Spudders yesterday 6
to 2. Easterling hit a homer with
one on.
Celebrating for their new major
domo, Sol Drerfuss, who had pur
chased the controlling stock in the
club, the Dallas Steers were swamp
ed 12 to 3 yesterday before the
Houston Buffs in the opener of a
three game series here. The visitors
batted Dave Danforth from the box
and scored six runs in the seventh
inning.

BY SALINAS
Eighth Inning Rally Wins;
Locals Romp On
Runnells
By virtu* of a strong eighth in
ning rally, the San Benito in
dependents led by Lew Williams
took a thrilling 4-2 exhibition from
the locals Sunday which kept tne
large crowd on an edge until the
last man was out in the ninth
inning.
The crowd was by far the largest
to turn out for a baseball game
here this season and it was by no
means disappointed for it saw hign
class ball. The crowd was banked
heavily all along the sidelines, over
flowing into right and left fields.
The game had to be stopped sever
al times to get the snxlous fans
off the field.
Rocha Steals to Score
The Brownsville team played
great defensive ball and but for the
eighth inning wh?n the Saints got
to Salinas for four hits—two of
which were doubles—would have
beaten out the visitors. Shining
afield and at bat was little Rocha.
He played errorless ball afield, bif
fed out three hits in four tries at
the platter and scored one of
Brownsville’s runs by stealing home
from second base. Salinas, local
hurler, smoked them over in great
style, striking out 12 of the visitors.
When an error and a hit put him
in a hole in the fifth inning. Bul
let Joe proceeded to whiff Camp
bell. McCauley and Salters in rapid
oraer.
Wait man and McCauley were the
only visitors to get more than one
blow. Each got a pair.
Garrett, Edinburg Junior college
star, hurled steady bail for the
Saints. Using his head and a beau
tiful curve, the big chap held the
Brownsville sluggers to five hits in
seven innings.
Runneils, former all Southwest
conference hurler at S. M. U.. did
not fare so well ir» his two inning
stay on the mound. He was almost
victimized by a ninth inning rally
when Garcia got on on an error
and Rocha came through with a
healthy single with only one down.
Timely Hits
San Benito scored first in the
initial round. Little Joe Taylor
oould not see Salinas’ fast one and
went out by the strikeout route.
Wait man went out pitcher to first.
Then McCauley, another Edinburg
Junior college star, tripled, scoring
Taylor. Salmas bore down hard
and whiffed Salter.
Brownsville came right back to
tie the count. Rocha flew out to
leftfield. Pipkin singled. Roque Pa
dron came through with another
bingle, scoring Pipkin. Padron later
was thrown out pitcher to third.
Salinas grounded out second to
first.
Neither club scored in the second
inning. Brownsville got her other
run in the last half of the third.
Garcia grounded out short to first.
Rocha singled, and went to second
on a mess-up behind the plate. An
argument broke out as to whether
there were two or three strikes on
Pipkin. Rocha seized upon this op
portunity to dart to third, sliding
under Campbell. Knocked off his
feet, Rubber missed the throw and
Rocha scored before the ball could
be retrieved and thrown home.
Brownsville held her one run lead
up until the eighth Inning. Wait
man doubled, McCauley singled.
Cunningham doubled as did Leb
, owitz. These four blows netted three
1 runs. Cunningham also scored but
i neglected the formality of touching
i tmrd.
The locals came back strong in
| the ninth inning and had the tle
; ing runs on the sack. Puckett went
out short to first. Garcia got on
on an error at third. Rocha singled
sharply. Garcia went to third and
Rocha to second on a smear up
behind the plate. Ramos, pinch
hitting for Pipkin, went out third
to first. Padron, the last batter of
the game, went out pitcher to first.
The locals will play Topper Rig
ney's Harlingen independents here
next Sunday.
