on bases.
The three winning teams in the
other games collected a total of 35
hits while the three losers could

Texas League Clubs Split
Double Headers on Sunday
BY BILL F.YRKER
Associated Pits* Sports Writer
Sunday a day of eight games
instead of the usual four because
oi double headers failed to change |
the Texas league pennant calendar. 1
It was a day of fi/ty-fifty with all
clubs except San Antonio the In-
dians taking a doubleheader ft I
Galveston.
Beaumont stayed at the league
pinnacle with a 3 to 0 victory over
Houston in the first game which
atoned for a 4 t<> 3 defeat in the
nightcap. Vaughn pitched another
one of his superb games to tame
the Buffaloes in the opener.
The Exporters almost won the
second game—but just almost for
the Buffaloes pulled a seventh in-
ning rally to none in front. 4 to 3.
At Fort Worth the best Art
Phelans Cats could get with Jake
Atz's Shreveport Sports was a
split. With Dick. Whitworth finally
back in winning form after three
consecutive defrsats the Cats sailed
home in the fizst game. 8 to 1. In
the second game. Fort Worth pulled
away for a 4 to 2 lead at the end
of the third inning but two runs
in the first of the sixth and three
more in the seventh gave the Sports
a 7 to 6 decision.
An estimated crowd of 3500 turn-
ed out at Sun Antonio to greet the
Indians on their return home and
just to prove they appreciated the
reception. Claude Robertson’s boys
walloped the Galveston Buccaneers.
2 to 0 and 5 to 3. The Galveston
club played two listless games of
baseball while the Indians had a
lot of snarkle to their fielding and
made their hits mean runs especial-
ly in the first game when Sun An-
tonio got only four hits off Harris.
Wichita Falls retained its fourth
place Sunday at Dallas by splitting
with the Steers. Lef-.y Minoguc.
southpaw ace of the Dallas mound
staff toiled the first game and
stopped the Spudders. 8 to 4. The
first game saw the Spudders unreel
one of the most miserable fielding
games yet recorded In the Texas
league. They committed ei*ht er-
rors behind the fine pitching of
Ash Hillin and almost every m^scue
cost at least one run.
Lee Meadows pitched and last
the second gam-* for Dallas. 7 to 0.'
Lee received erratic support and
was hit hard. Presnell. Bochey 1
Koch football star of the Baylor
University Bears last season caught
the second game for Wichita Falls
and looked good.

The Harlingen Ladds continue to
keep the League leadership well
monopolized. A fair hurling staff
batting punch in the pinches and
a good deal of luck have kept them
in first place since the first week
of league play.
• • •
Much discussion as to the "hard
luck" and "lucky" hurlers of the
league has taken place. Without a
doubt - Lefty” Phillips has fared
better than any other chunker. The
Saints have dropped every contest
vo the Ladds when Phillips was in
the box in the last ftame by a des-
perate final rally. The Saints have
usually ouihlt the Ladds in the con-
test and seem to carry a substantial
lead until that final frame. In each
case the “hard luck ’ hurler happen-
ed to be Rankin the Mission fire-
man who pitched airtight baseball
ior eight innings but weakened in
that last go-round.
• • •
Speaking of Phillips we have been
to.u by several members of the Ladd
club that the lefthander has been
doing a great deal of road work the
past few weeks. A good way to stay
m condition!
• • •
Manager Trammel uncorked a
real i.nd this past month when he
sent Squires a pitcher into the
ou.field. The southpaw has added a
great deal of batting power to the
club and has played the pastures in
great style. .
Saturday the Saints broke a
line game losing streak when they
trounced the Ladds 9-6. It is gen-
erally understood that Manager
Waitman has many calls out into
into the country for several addi-
tions to the club. What the Saints
seemed to lack is the necessary
punch in pinches. Records show
wnere more of the Saints have been
loft stranded on bases than any
other circuit member. Poor base
running as well has cut down
many rallies.
• • •
Manager Harding announced the
ether day that the La Fcria crew
would be able to play some games
at home writhm the near future. The
Hawks have a part at present and
a fence and bleachers are to be
constructed in the near future.
• • •
Now comes the announcement
that the Legionnaires are going to
install a ligating system at the
McAllen Park and will be in opera-
tion by June 19th. The completion
of this project will make two cities
operating under the lights and will
then give every fan in the Valley
an opportunity to witness the
games at night. On of the objections
raised by the Upper-Valley fans
with regards to the lights at Har-
lingen. was that the distance was
too great to go to witness the games
—with the installation of the lights
at McAllen objection in this respect
will be eliminated.
• • t «
The only complaint we have
heard so far about piaying ball at
night is that the games are over
In the late hours of the night. If
the club officials could see fit to
start the games somewhat earlier
attendance should increase a great
deal.
• • •
Bob Briggs the "golden-voiced'’
radio announcer from KRGV. has
made a great hit with his detailed
descriptions of the game at Harlin-
gen and recently made the remark
that broadcasts have helped attend-
ance at the games. We fear that
many fans are staying at home in
order to listen to that “great master
of the air." and are neglecting to
give the clubs the support they
need.
• • •
Frank Higgins the lad who cap-
tained the University of Texas nine
.n 1'jz9 was sent to Dallas recently
oy the Philadelphia A’s and has
been looking great. Higgins' home
is in Dallas and piaying before the
home folks seems to be doing him
good for he has been hitting well
over .300 since joining the Steers.
• • •
Another former University stu-
dent who is making good down in
the Valley leagueis “Kiidee" Mid-
kilf. The lanky Gonzales ffrst base-
man has been piaying an excellent
game around first and though his
hitting has fallen down lately we
believe that he will be watched
by any scouts that come down here
again. Midkiff has been shagging
them and picking them up from all
around his position and many er-
rors have been saved by his excel- !
lent fielding.
While speaking of ball players
from "Uncle Billy Disch's stomp-
ing grounds one can hardly miss
mentioning a young lefthander from
McAllen. Harwood was a member
oi the Frosh nine in 1929 and was
considered one of the best pros-
pects Texas had in years. Harwood
never returned to school after that
year and “ince then has been play-
ing semi-pro baseball in and
around Houston. The early part of
the year he came under the wing
of "Tex" Covington’s brother who
sent him to McAllen. Since joining
the Palms he has won his share of
the contests and opposing batters
claim him to be the best south-paw
in the loop.
• • •
The league officials have been
hunting far and wide for a "Dizzy"
Dean a Babe Ruth or an Art
Shires. In other words some real
box office attraction. The Saints
had a. call in for one the other day
but were too late as the man in
view had signed up with a club in
the Pacific Coast loop.
