Wyatt Makes Strong Showing as Relief Hurler
TEACHOUT A I
KOLP SHINING
Babe Ruth Hits 17th Homer
Of Season Against
White Sox
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr„
Associated Press Sports Writer
Whitlow Wyatt, a big Georgian
whom Detroit acquired from the
, vansville club of the Three Eye
4 ague, has turned out to be one j
'of the season’s best finishers in i
the box. Although he has but two
complete games, both of them won,
and two defeats to show for the j
12 times he has appeared on the
mound, Wyatt has probably done'
more good pitching than any other j
Detroiter. Time and again he has!
saved the Tigers from defeat or j
has kept games already lo6t from
becoming routs.
Such was the case yesterday as'
the Tigers dropped an 8 to 4 decl- •
sion to Washington. The Senators :
had attacked Whitehill and Sul- j
livan for seven runs In the second j
Inning befor* Wyatt appeared, but |
he stopped them with three hits I
and a single counter in the next i
seven innings.
^ Good Hurling
Ray Kolp oi Cincinnati turned
in almost the duplicate of Wyatt's
performance to Join him on the
short list o outstanding pitchers
on a day of hard hitting. Kolp came
to rescue Larry Benton from the
brutal assaults of his former team
mates. the New York Giants, and
stopped them, as Wyatt did the
Senators, with two hits. The Qiants
pounded Benton for ten hits and
eight runs in less than three in
nings and won the game, 9 to 1.
Another Rookie, Art Teachout
of the Chicago Cubs, led the way
among the few pitchers who com
pleted the games they started. He
held the Boston Braves to seven
hits while his mates attacked
Grimes and Cooney for 17 clouts
and a 15 to 2 victory. Bill Clark
had to hit as well as pitch to keep
the Brooklyn Robins three games
ahead of the Cubs. Brooklyn errors
offset his holding the Pirates to
eight hits, and Clark finally took
.^ratters In hji own hands bv hitting
Si double in the ninth Inning and

scoring the run that brought
Brooklyn a 6 to 5 victory.
The Sluggers
For sheer slugging, the 11 to 10
triumph of the St. Louis Cardinals
ever the Phillies took the prize for
a day that saw 196 hits made in
eight games. The Phillies got the
biggest total of them all, 23 safe
hits, but St. Louis inserted seven
doubles and a triple In its total
of 16 to get the decision.
The New York Yankees, featur
ing Babe Ruth’s 17th home run of
the year, led the American league
slugging parade by getting 19 hits
anc a 13 to 7 victory over the
Chicago White Sox. The Cleveland
Irdians had the benefit of Wes
Ferrel's good pitching as well as
17 hits and bad no trouble beating
the Boston P.ed Sox. 8 to 3. Ferrell
held the Sox to eight hits.
The Philadelphia Athletics, cling
ing to a one game lead over Wash
ington, engaged in the only real
mound duel of the day with the
St Louis Browns as their opponents.
Lefty Grove and Dick Coffman
bat tied for six innings before the
game suddenly blew up under them.
With St. Louis leading 1 to 0 in
the seventh, Jimmy Pox and Bing
Miller hit successive home runs
and the Athletics moved on to a
4 to 1 triumph.

~
Seibold and Croaetti Deal
Pending, According
To Rumors
CHICAGO, June 4.—C-TV-Owner
William Wrigley, Jr., is ready to do
some more big spending for player
talent, but his crippled Cubs may
change his mind.
When Pitchbr Hal Carlson died
and Rogers Hornsby broke his ankle
last week, the Cub owner immedi
ately began to canvass the major
and minor league field for help.
But since then the crippled cham
pions have been unstoppable, win
ning all their games, and the con
templated deals hare been post
poned.
Bud” Teachout suddenly came
to life and looks like he is ready
to take Carlson's turn on the
mound: Vic “Footsy” Blair took the
Rajah's place at second and has
been hitting better than .400 and
fielding sensationally.
Sock’’ Seibold, whom the Cubs
sent to the Boston Braves in the
Hornsby deal, is known to be one
oitcher the Cubs have in mind while
Frank Crossetti. star shortstop for
the San Francisco club of the Pa
cific Coast league, is the infielder.
1 The two if obtainable at all, prob
ably would cost the Cubs a total of
$150,000.

THERE'S an entirely new atmos
phere in the Brownsville Bronco
corral since-*the new ranch fore
man—Geo. Desha, Jr..—donned the
chaps and spurs. The Broncs are
strong for Desha although he
drives them at a fast clip. The city
commissioner took over the post
Tuesday and things picked up at
once. New faces were sprinkled
over the diamond and the old tim
ers were out there hustling hard.
Aldape, Roque Padron, Chueco'
Ramos and other* showed up again
and are striving to make the club.
Chapa, a capable hurler and out
fielder. was back in harness. This
rangy athlete had become dissatis
fied and was on the verge of quit
ting.
SAM LESSER, the best prospect
El Jardin has turned out in full
many a moon, cavorted the outfield
in good style and pounded the pill
a “fur piece." Should he be signed
with the club. Lesser bids fair to
take the place of Maurice Pipkin
who left for other parts this sum
mer. Sam has Just returned from
Schreiner Institute where he made
a good athletic record, keeping
pace with Jelly Dabbs & Company.
ALTHOUGH the Broncs have
been facing good hurling, the fact
remains that they have been weak
with the willow. Perez is leading
the club in hitting vith a .333 mark.
This is how they rank: Perez .333,
Salinas .300, Chapa .250. Woods
.222, Ball .222. Moreno .166. Rocha
.166, Cantu .166. Green .125. De »a
Rosa .100, Puckett .000. Pipkin was
clouting to the merry tune of .600
before he left on his trip.
THE BRONCS have been facing
good hurling, unquestionably. Twice
the crafty Moody, diminutive left
hander, took the hillock against
them. B. van Pelt, nobody's slouch,
twirled the third game against
them. We seriously doubt if there
is another lefthander in the league
who can show more stuff or ex
perience than Moody. B. van Pelt
is hard to get to when his crook
is coming in there.
The Pels
AND NOW comes Point Isabel,
asking for the 10th position in the
Rio Grande Valley league. The
Pels were to approach Vice Presi
dent Ben Epstein on the matter to
day. We see no reason for keep
ing them out of the league—pro
viding someone can figure out the
schedule.
HARLEY JACKSONS Macks
certainly bloated their averages
against Raymondville Sunday.
Hamilton obtained five blows in six
tries at the platter. Shipley got
six out of nine. Jones got four out
of nine. It was a big day for
Markian sluggers. Hamilton is now
! leading the Rio Grande league bv
virtue of his performance against
the Or.iontown twirlers.
COMMENTING on the double
header. Harley has this to sav:
"However. I feel that before many
weeks Swayze (manager of Ray
mondville) will be able to put a good
team on the field. That Bor
Stearns Is good, and has excellent
control for a southpaw. Sunday was
his first game of the season and
he couldn’t last against good hit
ting. Later on, he should cause op
position lots of worry.”

Spuds, Cats, Sports And
Steers Are Winners
Tuesday
By GAYLE TALBOT, Jr,
Associated Press Sports Writer
Running Into a combination ol
tight pitching and lusty hitting at
every turn, the four delegates from
the south end of the T^tas league
suffered a complete tow. in their
first engagements on northern soil.1
That is to say, that Wichita Falls, i
Fort Worth, Shreveport and Dal
las ganged up to blank the visitors
yesterday.
On the assumption that the un
expected comes first in reader in
terest, it is well to chronicle with
out further preamble that the Dal
las Steers broke their latest reverse
sireak of eight straight by licking
the Houston Bull, 5 to 3, in their
cpener. The Mavericks took a lead
off Allyn Stout in the very first
uming, and, what is more remark
able, held it to the bitter end.
The defeat cost the Buffs, as the
Spudders were busy knocking off
the Beaumont Shippers, 10 to 5,
and stretching their advantage over
; the Junior Cards to three and one
half games. As it is only a matter
of 16 days until Texas league mag
nates must make up their minds
about splitting the season, the Spud
aers’ present lead looms large.
June 19 is the deadline for an
nouncement of a split, which would
take effect five days later.
L*rty Jimmie walkup realized
every pitcher’s dream as the Cats
greeted Waco with an 8 to 5 thump
ing His pitching was not exactly
an epic, but hi* batting was. He
bounced a homer off Stein in the
fourth inning with two runners
r.board and drove in two more with
a single In the sixth, accounting
for five runs. Also, he had a sacri
fice and struck out five Cubs to
round out his day. Gene Rye. with
a homer and single, was the only
Cub to break into the hit column
twice.
Oscar Estrada the eccentric Cu
t*n, gave his best performance of
the year in pitching the Snorts to
an 8 to 1 triumph over San An
tonio in their inaugural. The In
dians managed only four hits, two
of them by Ballew and were score
less after the first inning, when
they bunched a pair The Sports
found old Tom Estell easy after
1 three Innings and piled up twelve
hits, Including a homer by Cashlon.

The famous halfback of 35 years
