Philadelphia sandlot graduate Sun-
day when the fans celebrated Alan
Strange day at Shibe Park and
Casc&rella made it the occasion for
a 9 to 3 Philadelphia victory
The triumph gave the A s *hlrd
place in the tight race as Washing-
ton bumped Detroit out of a high-
er berth bv shelhgig Tommy
Bridges from the hill when he be-
came wild in the seventh and scor-
ing six runs to win 7 to 4. Phila-
delphia's position also w*as improv-
ed when the Yankees slammed the
second place Cleveland club irv>

allowed onlv lour hits lor his ftt'h
straight victory. Lou Gehrig hit his
eighth homer with the bases filled.
The Red Sox slaughtered Chica-
go 14 to 2
The National League standing
produced an odd situation when the
Pittsburgh Pirates a half game be-
hind Chicago according to one
method of reckoning took the lead
by two percentage points. Each won
Sundav. The Pirates assaulted
Leftv Ed Brandt and the Boston
Braves for a 9 to 2 decision while
the Cubs defeated the Giants 7 to
3. *
The St Louis Cardinals blasted

Clark Gable considers his role in
"Men ln White" current attraction
at the Arcadia Theatre the finest

was able to do a genuine charac-
ter role for a change." the star :e-
cently told an interviewer. "That’s
the sort of thing I have always
wanted to do. Standing around
and smiling isn’t my idea of acting.
The role of Dr Ferguson in Men

plenty of careful characterization
and I enjoyed it enormously.”

BUCS TWICE
Exporters Defeat Oilers
In Two Games With
Southpaws
(By Associated Press)
Texas league critics who joined
the consensus that Dallas would
win this year's pennant got a re-
freshing twice Sunday when the
Steers defeated Galveston 6 to 3
snd 8 to 1. The double victory
hurdled Dallas into second place
a no within one game of the pace-
setting Tulsa Oilers.
An official crowd of 4000 cash
customers saw Charlie Barnabe
port.side veteran tame the Buc-
caneers with six hits the first game.
Little Sal Gllatto right-handar
scattered seven Galveston hits to
win the second.
Beaumont turned a pair of south-
paws on Tulsa and trimmed the
Oilers 11 to 0 and 4 to 3. It was
a meeting between the pinnacle
Oilers and the cellar Exporters.
Sullivan shut out Tulsa in the
first game with three hits. His
mates hammered Wood and Pose-
del freely for 13 hits.
Uncovering a fresh supply of hits
the San Antonio Missions swept a
double header from Port Worth
12 to 1 and 9 to 4. The Missions
got eight runs in the first three
innings of the initial contest behind
a bombardment of 17 hits. They
continued their heavy hitting in
the second game for a four-run
rally in the first inning that al-
lowed them to coast In.
It required more than four
hours of diamond warfare for the
Houston Buffs and Oklahoma City
Indians to split a doubleheader the
Indians won the first. 5 to 4. but
dropped the second. 11 to 5.
The first gume went ten innings
before Pitchers Moncrief and
Tubbs could get a decision over
Cvengros and Chambers. The
second game saw Houston clout
Kennedy and Tubbs for 12 hits and
a seven-run rally in the fourth
for victory.

ond round of its schedule here

Deep Sea Bass Is
Taken Near Point
A 645-pound deep sea bass the
largest of the season was taken
near the Coast Guard Station on
Padre Island early Sunday morn-
ing by Felix Gomez and Amulfo
Quintanilla oi Brownsville.
The big prize measured saven
feet eight inches from tip tc
tip. Choice portions of the big
fish were donated to the Browns-
ville Volunteers of America by the
. local residents.
Gomez took a deep sea bass last
season weighing well over 4f>t
I pounds.
O’Brien Is To Wrestle
Marconi Here Tonight
Patrick O’Brien of the Braaoa
bottom O'Briens hailed from
Brownsville to Texline and from Ei
Paso to Texarkana a* ana of the
most popular grapplers in the
stale returns to the Brownsville
VFW groan foundary Monday
night having as his opponent one
Tony Marconi.
It has been almost a year since
Patrick demonstrated the “O’Brien
Spec ail” in the Brownsville ring
but local fans still have a vivid rec-
ollection of this hold which Is sim-
ultaneously effective and spectac-
ular. Pat rushes his opponents far
back Into the ropes and brings
them off by flipping them over his
head with a vicious slam.
In this hold Pat uses the ropes
as if they were ' nigger shooter"
bands and he utilizes his unlucky
opponent as a theoretical rock. His
••victory grin." however is almost
as important as the “O'Brien spe-
cial" in pulling the cash customers
through the turnstiles. There s only
one grin like It and it has Tarzan
chest-beatings shipped a mile.
Mr. Marconi not to be confused
with Guglielmo the wireless inven-
tor is a Chicago southside rowdy
who places little stock in the “O-
Bnen special He has been seen
in action here on several occasions
and doubtless will make a tough
opponent for Patrick.
The aeml-final will bring togeth-
er Dobie Osborn no less a ring
character than O'Brien and Bob
Blair. Osborn has turned vlllian on
his current Valley tour and he has
been pulling them through the gate
in droves Dobie never fails to get
a big rise out of the crowd.
Blair to not a colorful showman
but ha la a fair wrestler although
he took a severe beating from
Johnny Plummer here laet week.
The card get* under way at t:30
p. m. at the V. F. W. arena
