LAFAYETTE. La.—Nearly half a million persons saw the eight
clubs of the Class D Evangeline League in action last baseball season.
Thats a pretty impressive attendance figure. It’s even more im-
pressive when you learn that cities forming the league total only a
little more than 100.000 in population. It gets more impressive when
you figure that represents an average of four or more games seen
by every man. woman and child in league towns.
If that doesn’t mean much to you figure it this way:
With that percentage of attendance in the big leagues they
couldn’t build a stadium large enough to hold the crowds!
Judge W G. Branham, president of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues, calls the attendance record "remark-
able.’’ Officials say success of the loop can be attributed to a
combination nf a sports-loving population, geographical advantages
and the application of good principles of salesmanship.
Evangeline League cities are concentrated in Southwest Louisiana,
except for Port Arthur just over the border in Texas. Easy traveling
distances make it possible to work out schedules which will allow
maximum drawing power at all games. In smaller towns, for in-
stance. a team will not play at home two nights in succession. Most
of the crowd is drawn from the same group and officials have found
that the fans would rather not stay up late two nights in a row.
Knothole gangs and other popular devices are used to attract
youngsters—and they flock to th* parks.

SWEETWATER. Tex-lAb-Pard-
ner, meet up with Slingm’ bam
Baugh—an old cowhand 350 miles
from the Rio Grande.
Slingin Samuel, the gentleman
rancher with football’s finest for-
ward passing arm. is roundin’ up
the dogies in rodeo corrals.
The sun-broiled Texan has put
hemp bums on every critter within
reach of his slingshot lariat to date.
Old-timexs who nearly gulped down
their quids when Sammy roped, tied
and spanked a calf in 11 seconds
out on his ranch, say he has the
touch.
In Formal Debut
The Slinger made his formal de-
but at the Floydada rodeo two
two weeks ago. He met uo with
an unruly calf and used up 19 sec-
onds. which was slightly out of
the money.
’Shucks, out here on the ranch
I've cut that time in half.-’ apolo-
gized Sam. "But it was different
in that arena ”
Other than football, of which he
knows plenty after terrific careers
with Texas Christian University and
the professional Washington Red- I
skins, calf roping is the best sport. '
allows Cownand Baugh.
Recently Sam bought 25 head of
Brahma calves on w hich to prac-
tice. But he had to sell 11 of them.
"They just got too derned big
to handle.’’ he admitted.
To offset the remote possibility
that Mr. George <Wet Wash! Mar-
shall. the rather easily excited own-
er of the Washington football, club,
should become alarmed over Sam s
innocent hobby of wrestling with
bawling calves the Slinger insists
tnat he will not branch out into
other rodeo pastimes—such as bull-
dogging steers mounting unbroken
broncs and riding wild steers with
a surcingle.

Fishing Rules
With tens of thousands of fisher-
men on lakes and streams in Tex-
as. the executive secretary of the
State Game Department has outlin.
ed a few simple rules for the pro-
tection of the angler from acci-
dents. and at the same time out-
lined practices in the handling and
treatment of fish and minnows that
should be followed if Texas waters
are to be as productive of these
species as every angler expects
them to be.
For your own safety and for the
producing of better fishing, check
these rules and see if you re living
up to them:

whether or not he has caught a

CANTERBURY GOLF COURSE.
CLEVELAND——Gene Sarazen
the dark, fast-striding little golf
veteran from Connecticut, came out
of nowhere late Saturday through
the rain and mud to tie Lawson
Little for the National Open cham-
pionship at 287 strokes and carry
the former amateur king into a
playoff for the title Sunday.
Winner of his first Open cham-

1932, Sarazen struck for his third
title so unexpectedly that it w asn t
until the last three holes that the
huge gallery swarmed around him

His finish was nearlv as sensa-
tional as that of '32 when he scored

Oliver Disqualified
There was a terrific hullabaloo
because Ed Oliver, of Hornell. N
Yhad been disqualified along with
five other players for having made ,
an unorthodox start on his closing .
round.
Oliver had a total of 287. too. but
it never was posted. His 71 m the
afternoon was thrown out because :
the committee decided the 23-year-
old star had broken one of golf's
most sacred rules by teeing ott !
some 30 minutes before his sched-

ing reported to the official starter
None of the other five disquah- ■
fied mattered particularly, because
they were out of the running any-
way, but Oliver was mad in everv

plenty of support. There was a

ger, remove the hook and release
- him easily to the water. If it is
necessary to catch the fish with
your hands, wet your hand first to
prevent disturbance of the protec-
tive slime that covers the fish. Be
aure you have a legal fish before it
goes on the string. This oversight
might make a fishing trip an un-
happy one Check your tacide box
for a ruler before you leave home
or mark off the lengths on, your
boat or tackle box. Remember bass
must be eleven inches long and
crappie seven inches.
WASTE FISH. TAKE
THOSE THA^ CAN BE USED. AND
USE THOSE THAT YOU TAKE
Seining bait may prove to be
more expensive than buying it from
a bait dealer, if care is not taken.
Be sure that you do not sein min-
nows over three inches long, small
bass, crappie and perch are not
minnows. All species other than
minnows must be released to the
water immediately. Minnows that
are too small for bait should be
likewise returned to the water.
They may be large enough for bait
next time you go fishing. They are
also valuable fish food. It is illegal
to injure small fish or leave them
on the bank to die.
Never use a boat that is unsafe
and always have life preservers for
every member of the crew. Boats
w ith rotten boards should never be
used. In case your boat does turn
over, never get excited. Most wood-
en boats will support three or four
people even if turned over or fill-
ed with water. Wait for help and
never try to swim a great distance
to shore. Many a good swimmer has ,
lost his life trying this stunt. If it
is necessary to swim, never try to
swim with your clothes on. Remove
your shoes first and then
clothes. It is better to lose your
clothes than your life. Never wade
unknown waters with hip boots, be-
cause if you go into water over
your head w ith hip boots on. it is
nearly impossible to remove them.
Holes or rock jump-offs will cause
one to lose balance and here is
where the trouble comes.
Every fisherman should have
gome first-aid equipment in his
fishing outfit. Scratches and
bruises should be treated immedi-
ately to prevent infection. Never
try to get a complete sun tan on a
single fishing trip. The pain from
sun burn is a poor trade for a sun
