In matter of basketball thrills,
it was a sensation from start to
finish with both teams making
their share of bad passes but bal
ancing their mistakes with an as
sortment ot goal shots that carried
the game into the final seconds
with the outcome in doubt. When

Buffs Obtain Two
Stars From Denver
HOUSTON. Jan. 7. </Pv—Houston's
1933 Texas league pennant chances
were given a boost today with the
announcement of the acquisition of
two stars from the Denver club of
the Western league. They are Ed
ward Greer. veteran right hand
pitcher: and Ernie Parker, hard hit- J
ting outfielder. Both arc expected j
to make the grade with the 1933
Buffs.
Greer last year won 21 and lost 12
for Denver, and was rated bv manv
observers the best pitcher in the
Western league. He fanned 124 and
gave 89 bases on balls.
Greer is said to be exceptionally
fast and his fast ball should sene
him well in the night games he wll
pitch in the Texas league.
The Buffs now have lined up at
least two fly chasers, whose records
would indicate they should make the
grade with Houston. They are Par- i
ker and Leon Riley, w’ho last season |
hit 391 for Omaha of the Western

Oklahoma City and Tulsa

Up In Air
BY BILL PARKER
(Associated Press Sports Writer*
DALLAS. Jan. 7. —Texas
league officials, with Pres. J. Alvin
Gardner presiding, met. discussed
various league problems, had lun
cheon together and adjourned today
without reaching a definite decision
on the 1933 league championship.
Gardner said that the league
would definitely operate with eight
clubs and not ten.
Pres. Homer Hammon of the
San Antonio Indians, in cooperation
with the St. Louis Browns, have
until midnight. Jan. 15 to make sa
tisfactory arrangements of out
standing league debts, to post
$2 500 seasonal guarantee money
and retain the San Antonio fran
chise. If these conditions are met. i
thw Browns, in all probability, will
operate the San Antonio franchise.
The league personnel will consist
of Oklahoma City. Tulsa. Dallas.
Fort W’orth. Beaumont. Houston.
Galveston and San Antonio.
Browns Seek Home
If San Antonio defaults. Gardner
said ,the Alamo City franchise
would be declared forfeited, and
some other city would be voted into
the league and probably would
operate on the St. Louis Browns
franchise which was operated last
season at Wichita Falls and Long
view. Gardner said the Browns
would definitely operate a club this !
year in the Texas league, and that
L C McEvoy and Guy Alery. St. j
Louis representatives, favored San
Antonio if the debt issue can be
satisfactorily settled there before
or on Jan 15.
Clubs which today announced de
finitely as contenders for the 1933
pennant included Oklahoma City
and Tulsa, formerly of the western
league. Fort Worth. Dallas. Houston. ;
Galveston and Beaumont. The Tex
as league constitution was changed
today. Instead of requiring the
customary' S1000 guarantee, all club*
retaining memberships this year
must post $2,500 guarantee.
Gardner expressed confidence
the San Antonio muddle would be
cleared up. and that Hammon and
officials of the St. Louis Browns
would reach a satisfactory agree- I
mem for the Browns to take over
the club
Oklahoma Member*
The two new members. Oklahoma
City and Tulsa, were represented
by Jack Holland and Don Stewart.
They were extended a welcome by i
the league, and In turn announced
they were ready to start the pen
nant race.
In order to retain a franchise at
Shreveport. Capt. B. A. Hardy of
that city offered to build a new
baseball park on a cost basis for
the St. Louis Browns if they would
move their franchise there, and
after rental had paid for the park, |
to give it to the Browns. Hi.s offer
was left open until the San Antonio
status is settled. In case San An
tonio retains a franchise, the
Shreveport franchise, operated last
year at Shreveport and Tyler, will
be forfeited to the lc»gue. accord
ing to Gardner.
Moving of the Browns' franchise
to San Antonio would automatically ,
eliminate Wichita Falls and Long- 1
view, cities ia which the Browns
operated last season.
Texas League magnates dis- j
cussed the Shaughnessy plan, and
it was the consensus that most of
them favored it.
New Play-Off Scheme
Its adoption by the Texas league
would eliminate the split-season
%.mpaign and would create a play- i
off between the four first division
teams for the league pennant, the
winner to represent the league in
the Dixie series. Gardner said that
a definite decision on the plan
would be withheld until time to
draw up the 1933 schedule.
While no definite announcement
was made, it was assumed by club
moguls that Walter Morris would
be named secretary of the Fort
Worth Cats, and that Jake Atz
would be named field manager.
Morris. In the absence of Sam Lard,
club owner, represented the Cats by
proxy.
Happ Morse at Dallas. Bob Cole
man at Beaumont. Billy Webb at
Galveston, Art Griggs at Tulsa, and
Henry Severeid at whichever city
the St. Louis Browns locate, are the
only managers signed for 1933.
Jack Holland said he probably
would announce lus Oklahoma City
manager within a few days.

NEW YORK. Jan. 7. P^—Herbert
Jaques. Boston, attained today the -
presidential post his father held 23
years before him as the United
Stale Golf association quietly car
ried out the year's business in a
brief annual session.
The national amateur champion
ship for 1933 was awarded the Ken
wood Country club at Cincinnati on
dates as yet undetermined and the
national open was assigned to the
North Shore club at Glenvfop, 111.,
June 8. 9 and io. almost a month
earlier than usual.
Two other championship* were
disposed of, the women’s annual
play going to the Exmoor Country
club at Highland Park. Ill, Aug 28
to Sept. 2, and the public links
title hunt to the Eastmoreland
Municipal course. Portland. Ore,
Aug. 1 to Aug. 5.
Open Dale Changed
Only the selection of the dates
for the national open provided any
thing out of the ordinary in the
short, calm session. The change was
made. pres. Jaques said in his brief
address, to evade “the usual hot
weather we have experienced in
former gears'*
Professionals pointed out. how
ever. that hardships greater than a
broiling sun will be brought down
upon them by the earlier dates for
the annual play. With the start of
the British open set for July 3, and
the Ryder Cup matches preceeding
on June 26. professionals who make
the trip abroad will compete in the
two ma.br international touma
] rnents and the special cup play all
within a month in two widely sep
arated nations.
Tough on Sarazen
The new dates may work a
particular hardship on Gene Sara
zen. the stock Italian professional
who will attempt to defend the two
titles he won spectacularly last
summer This year the Ryder Cup
team, including Sarazen, will be
forced to leave immediately after
the American open and compete In
the cup play at Southport, England,
with only a week of practice abroad
at the most. The professionals pre
fer two weeks of acclimizition and
practice in England, at least.
