A PERFECT setting for putting
A out this colyum—a beautiful
evening, a good meal under my
belt and another victory Under
the Cats' belt, what more could
one ask for? It's almost too pret-
ty a night to be working; It’d be
much better to be out picnicking.
Pop’ll have to take care of the
social obligations tonight.
* * *
T WONDER If there is anyone
I else living who is as super-
stitious as old Pop; I doubt it.
He had told me that he would
take me out to the ball game, so
I was ready about 3 bells, not
knowing when he would start out.
At 4:15 he shewed up with the
Gray Ghost. His reason for being
late was that he'd been going at
that time the last few days and
the Kittens were winning so he
had to keep it up.
All the fans out at the Or-
chard are familiar with the way
Pop moves around from one
seat to another trying to put
the team over. Of all the thou-
sands of seats in the park, I
doubt if there are more than
two left in which he hasn't sat
at one time or another. O, and
a load of hay or a black cat
mean much more to Pop than
just a load of hay or another
black cat.

Already we have had a conference

bad bet to step up to the straight

In Series Final
Panthers Eyeing First
Division and More
Victories
By PAUL DONOVAN
Gradually closing in on
the
first division teams, the Cats will
face the Exporters today at La
Grave Field at 4 bells in the
series finale between the two
nines. Pratt has nominated Lefty
Johns to take the mound today In
an attempt to make a clean sweep
of the four-game series. He will
be opposed by Red Phillips,
Following yesterday’s victory,
the Panthers are Only a game and |
a half behind the fourth-place
Dallas Steers, Yesterday’s con-
test also left the Exporters more
firmly entrenched in the cellar.'
They will depart gladly and with
haste after the game today, for
they have been treated most un-
kindly on their visit to Fort
Worth.
Tulsa held on to first place by
downing Galveston 10 to 9 yes-
terday. The loss shoved Galves-
ton down to third place, one-half
a game behind San Antonio,
which took a 1-to-0 decision from
Oklahoma City. In the other
game, played last night. Houston
downed the boys across the river
16 to 4.
Tomorrow the teams will shift
about, with the Buffaloes Invad-
ing Pratt’s Orchard determined to
climb out of that seventh hole.
They will play a three-game series
with Del’s boys. .
Jack Tavener will probably be
out of the Cat lineup for several
days, due to an injured shoulder.

- Old Man Dick Whitworth Hurls Eight-Hit Game Against Exporters and Delivers Score-Producing Triple
By PAUL DONOVAN
If you want to win a ball
game, make use of that first In-
ning, is the theory the Cats work-
ed on yesterday and it was highly
successful. Of course it took a
few more runs in later.Innings to
ice the game away, but after
drawing blood in the first round
it was not so difficult to open the
wound again.
Old Dick Whitworth didn’t fool
around with those Exporters yes-
terday, Apparently he didn’t like
the sight of them up there at the
plate, so he proceeded to dispose
of them with ease and rapidity.
He allowed only eight hits, with
two of these coming in the ninth
frame. Hare worked for Beau-
mont and was nicked for ten bin-
gles by the Kittens.
The first inning was featured
by a triple off the bat of The
Great Shires. It was a solid
smack against the wire in right
field. Holley, who had doubled
ahead of him, scored on the blow
and Art followed later on West's
roller to second base. Smith,
playing for Tavener, opened the
inning by flying to shortstop.
Little of interest happened from
then until the fourth when the
Prattmen decided they needed a
few more tallies. They netted
three on doubles by West and
Broskie, a single by Smith and an
error by the shortstop.
Holliday retaliated in the fifth
with a homer over the left field
wall, but his effort aided little,
the bases being vacant at the
time. The side was retired in
order after the home run.
The Panthers added another in
the sixth and called it a day as
far as scoring was concerned. The
lone tally was the result of Scar-
ritt’s single and Whitworth’s
triple to right. Some fans were
kidding Dick about being a “has
been" hitter when he went to the
plate, but his triple silenced them.
They laughed when he stood up
to bat, but they played a different
tune when he pulled up at third
base.
The Exporters threatened to
in Sixth Inning of Fray ■
on Holliday's infield out, and the
threat was over. All that remain-
ed was the matter of gathering up
the bats and balls and opening
the gates to let the fans out.'
The contest was not of the ex-
citing variety, but it Was the type
that is enjoyable to the home
town fans. After the first inning
there was little doubt as to the

From Ready to Quit
One-Eye Connolly Scowls As Dapper Prince Mike
Romanoff Strides By on Derby Day
Hy JOE WILLIAMS
Scripps-Howard Sports Writer
NEW YORK, May 8.—Mr. Mack Garner, the jockey who rode
Cavalcade to victory in the Derby, takes indignant exception to the
statement which appeared in this space that he was old, heavy and
about ready to hang up his tack. On all three counts Mr. Garner
insists I am incorrect as usual.
Derby colts are asked to carry 126 pounds. Very few. jockeys
weigh more than 115 pounds. When they get around 115 pounds
they are heavy. The difference between what a jockey weighs and
what his mount is asked to carry is made up with flat leaden weights
which are placed in pockets of the saddle cloth.

WASHINGTON. Mav 8. — Al
Simmons, Chicago White Sox slug-
ger, was under observation at a
local hospital today as a result of
being knocked out in a game with
the Senators Sunday.
Simmons was hurt when he was
hit squarely in the head by a ball
thrown by Joe Cronin, Senators’
shortstop, who was trying to head
off the Sox fielder as he made for
third base. Simmons recovered a
few moments after h was struck
and played out the game.
It was the White Sox’ 1.0th des

NEW YORK, May 8.—Charles
John Grimm, the left-handed ban-
jo, ukelele and mandolin plunker
who manages the Chicago Cubs,
today will be given a card in the
magacians’ union for pulling a
four-hit pitcher out of his hat.
When Charley took over the
Wrigley tiller during the 1932
campaign, waved his ample port
side paw, and produced a Na-
tional League pennant, the- na-
tion's hocus pocus artists became
interested.
Now they are convinced. When
a manager can produce out of
thin air a four-hit pitcher in a
season when the boys are slam-
ming the live onion all over the
lot and clubs nav 1^0 grand for
flingers with lame arms. It's proof
of the black art.
For the entertainment of the
Phillies yesterday, Grimm caused
to appear on the Cubs mound a
young teller named William C.
Lee. Investigation disclosed that
William was neither a descendant
of Gen. Robert E. Lee nor a rela-
tive of the Lees who used to make
that egg shampoo. It developed
that he was a rookie, fresh from
Columbus of the American Asso-
ciation. .
Rookie Bill Lee was making his
major league starting debut for
the Cubs against such brawnies
as Ethan Allen and Dick Bartell.
Well, sir, that young right-hander
just whipped the apple across the
plate so adroitly that he held
the Phillies to four singles and
blanked them 2 to 0.
