FORT WORTH, July 14 (U.P.)—
Any further movement to aband-
on the annual all-star game on
the part of the Texas League was
sure today to draw emphatic pro-
tests -from most of the 12,636 fans
wno left LaGrave Field weary and
limp from last night's exciting 4-2
all-star triumph. ,
It was the second straight tri-
umph by the league all-stars.
All-star Skipper A1 Vincent
used every player on his squad
with the exception of San Anton-
io's Precopio Herrera and the Mis-
sion right-hander was warming
up vigorously in the bull pen at
the final out.
Pinch-hitter Tom' Tatum (Tul-
sa) opened the big ninth wtih a
single, followed by one-basers by
Johnny Creel (Dallas) and Tom
Jordan (San Antonio) to fill the
bases. ■
Shreveport's Danny Reynolds,
who starred afield as well, fired
a double to right-center tying the
score and Gene Costello was call-
ed in to relieve Carl Erskine of
the Cats. Jordan was out at the
plate on an attempted squeeze, but
Jim Kirby (Shreveport) brought
the winning run home with an-
other double and scored himself
a moment later as Solly Hemus
(Houston) got his second hit of
the night, a double into the right
field crowd.
The Cats had taken the lead in
the sixth when Irv Noren singled,
driving in Gino Marionetti who
had beat out a buntt, gone to sec-
ond on a sacrifice and to third on
Jack Lindsey's single past third.
Pete Mazar (Houston) was the vic-
tim of the scoring rally.
In the seventh, the Cats punch-
ed across another and would have
had a third if manager Bobby
Bragan had not failed to "touch
up" at third before trying to score
on a long flyout. Walt Fiala scor-
ed the run on Marionetti's single.
Ed Garcia (Oklahoma City),
who pitched the last two innings,
was the winning hurler, while
Erskine was charged with the
loss.

Convention-
Continued lioin page one
| Philadelphia as head of the South-
! ern revolt caucus. He loved it and
! lapped up the dubious honor shov-
j ed on him and sacrifice president-
ial candidate of maybe 100 small
S business court-house politicians
like him. This group represents
' the old cotton economy South as
' it was betore me uays of Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wil-
son. What the Laney following
; would apparently like to do is lead
j the Democratic Party back to those
good old days and keep it there.
I tsut the only way the revolters
! could do tiiat was to leave the
Democratic Party. And that's
; where the majority of the South-
I ern delegates rebelled against the
rebels. They had too much to lose
| —political positoin, patronage and
j the benefits thatt the federal treas-
ury has poured into the South in
j the New Deal years. So the move-
i ment was doomed before it got
| started and had no chance after.
The equally ill-starred Pepper
i movement was at the other end of
the political scale. Nobody should
( kid himself for a minute that Pep-
i per's candidacy represents the em-
] erging liberalism of the new South.
] It was just the last remnant of the
radical left wing fringe, most of
which had previously gone over
to the Wallace third party. Most
| real Democrats hope these reds
stay there.
Pepper's backers were disap-
pointed people who had done so
much asti-Truman and pro-Eis-
enhower and pro-Douglas shout-
ing that when Ike and Doug pull-
ed out on them, they didn't know
what to do. They finally got .to-
gether with Pepper and so flatter-
ed his vanity and ambition that
he volunteered to save the party
by offering himself as a candidate.
The result is that he seems to
have succeeded even more success-
fully than Governor Laney in
cutting his own political throat.
Other Florida political leaders say
this marks the end of Pepper's
career. He has to run again in 1950
to hold his seat in the Senate. He
will probably be defeated. After
that or even before, there will be
no place for him to go but to join
Henry Wallace, which is where
he belongs. Where Governor Lan-
ey and Senator Russell of Georgia,
who jumped into the race at the
last minute to oppose Laney, will
end up—is a mystery which makes
no difference.
John R. Karner has purchased
two or three sections in the
Northfield neighborhood, Motley
County, and is fixing up a little
ranch. 1898.
