Howley’s Experiments Fall Just Short of Success
CUBS DEFEAT
GIANTS 20-18
American League Produce*
Four Tight Battles
Wednesday v
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer
Dan Howley, manager of the Cin
cinnati Reds, has become one of
the leading experimenters of the
National league as well as one of
lt« leading traders, and he has pros
pects of good results if he can mold
the material he now has into a co
ordinated baseball team.
The Reds, as they are now. seem
to have everything but the ability
to make their hits count They
got plenty of blows. 84 of them in
their last seven games, and fre
quently have good pitching to go
with them, but still they lose the
close decisions and games in which
they have the best of the hitting.
Howley put Pat Crawford in the
lineup yesterday and made Bob
Meusel lead off. The result was
good enough to produce 14 solid
hits but not a vict-orv. Their op
ponents, the New York Giants, got
but 12 blocs, but six of them came
in succession from the first six
batsmen in the opening inning and
started the Giants off to a 6-1 lead
and an 8 to i victory. Pete Donohue
continued the act that the former
Reds who now wear Giant uniforms
have been staging by pitching a
fair game and contributing a home
run to his first victory for New
York.
Beauroun Tilts
The hit totals made by the Reds
I
and Giants, big as they were, ap
peared small when the Chicago
Cubs got into action and they
trounced the Boston Braves, 18 to
20. The Cube hit 20 times for 34
bases, getting six doubles, a triple
and two homers, and gave Harry
Seibold and his two successors a
oad time of it.
The Cubs finished only two games
behind Brooklyn as the Robins lit
erally threw a ways a game to the
Pittsburgh Pirates by a 12 to 6
score. The Robins made eight er
rors, most of them on bad throws, j
and nearly every bobble meant a
Pittsburgh run. The Pirates made
five errors on their own part but
not at such costly paints in the
game. This result leP the Pirates
cnl.v a game behind the St. Louis
Csrdniais. who lost the day’s only
mound duel in the National league
to Philadelphia, 2 to 1 Benge gave
the Cards only four hits.
The American league produced
four tight battles, three of them
going ten innings. The leading
Philadelphia Athletics beat out the
St. Louis Browns. 4 to 3. in the
rnly nine inning contest as Sam
Gray, formerly the star of the
Brownie mound staff, lost his ninth
straight game.
Rally Wins
Washington scored three runs in
the tenth tc heat out the Detroit
Tigers. 11 to 8. after Detroit had
scored six runs in the last three
regular innings to gain a tie.
The Yankees dropped an 8 to 7
decision to the Chicago White Sox
ai Johnny Kerr followed the ex
amole set for him at few innings
earlier bv Babe Ruth and won the
game with a home run after two
w:re out in the tenth inning. The
Babe had tied the count in th- sev
enth bv his eighteenth homer of
; t**e year. Ed Morris of the Boston
Red Sox proved better in the long
run than Willis Hudlin of Cleve
land and gave Boston a 5 to 4 vic
tory in another ten inning duel.

DALLAS, Texas, June 5.——
Leave it to the old timer to go you
one better!
Just when the present generation
was ready to claim credit lor con
ceiving something different—night
baseball—up pops Fred Mosbach ol
The San Antonio Express with an
account of two nocturnal frays at
San Antonio in 1897. Mosebach,
dean of Texas sports writers, is
blessed with a remarkable memory.
He writes:
“Night baseball and night foot
ball were played 33 years ago.
“On November 20. 1897, the Car
lisle Indians defeated Illinois in a
football game in the old Coliseum
in Chicago. 23 to 6.
"The same year the Bronchos
played a game of baseball by elec
tric light in old San Pedro Park in I
this city,
“In fact, they played two games j
at night, one on June 30 with the
Houston Mudcats and the other on
July 1, with the Galveston Sand
crabs. these clubs being here on
those dates on the Texas League
schedule. The games, however, were
not league championship contests,
merely exhibitions.

points of the ball park supplied the
illumination. The game was played
with dead baseballs of 50 cents var
iety so that there would be no high
flies.
"In the first game Houston won
3 to 2. while San Antonio defeated
Galveston in the second game. 6 to
3. Jack Brenan was the umpire."
Unfortunately, "Mose" does not
go into detail on the two games,
but the scores would indicate they
w’ere anything but farces. He does,
however, give further proof that
there is nothing new under the sun
in an added paragraph:
"It was the second half of the
season, which was split because of
the unconquerable lead tile Bronchos
had attained.”
They probably accused the mag
nates of being money-mad even in
that golden era.
The Spring Lake country club golf
tournament at Waco June 11 to 12
will present a significant departure
from the accepted rules of tourna
ment play.
For the first time in Texas, and
perhaps, in the country, amateurs
and professionals will meet in match
play. Most of the states leading
lights from both groups have en
tered. It should prove an interesting
experiment, and it would not be
surprising to see an amateur walk
off with the big trophy.
Unless it is the veteran Jack
Burke r,i Houston, there is not a
professional in the state possessed
of any marked superiority over such
Simcn-pures as Willie Hunt. Ossie
Carlton. Dennis Lavender. Gaston
Peek. Gus Moreland, Lanham Con
ner and others. And there is a sus
picion that Burke is not quite what
he used to be ten years ago.
Amateurs and professionals have
met in competition for many years,
but in medal play. The open title of
Texas might come to be a muchly
coveted crown in a few’ years.
The Lavender boy from Abilene
incidentally, has accepted a chal
lenge from Frank Roxhall of Mem
phis. Texas, for a special 72-hole
match to settle the championship of
"Greater West Texas’. The dates
and sites had not been selected at
he writing.
Lavender, former state champion,
recently won the West Texas Golf
Association title for the second tlm
in three years In the tournament
at Brownwood FoxhrJl has won the
Green Belt tournament at Quanah
for two straight years. Foxhall is

Terms of the match call for 36

BASEBALL is decidedly on the
boom in Brownsville. The Initial ex
pense of equipping the Bronco club
was fairly heavy and the nine still
owes a bit of money. However,
loyal fans are rallying to the Bronco
banner and the debt should soon be
cleared away. Yesterday a number
of donations were obtained. The
generous fans who donated were:
John Gregg, W. J. Campbell. Fire
stone Service store. J. C. Penney

THE LEAGUE schedule for the
season has been formulated with
nine clubs counted in. A tenth cmo
—Point Isabel—now wants to round
out the schedule. The Pelicans can
not possibly be admitted before next
week sometime when a league meet
ing will be called. However, it is
possible that the Pels will meet
Brownsville who holds an off date
Sunday.
THE MOST likely tilt of the week
will be that at San Benito. The
Saints will tie into the league lead
ing Harlingen crew and the fur la
expected to fly. Neither club has
been defeated, but Harlingen haa
won thr»e. whereas the Saints have
played only twice. This will be *
real test of the strength betwl^i
two of the admittedly powertsf!
clubs of the loop.___
