fPHE curtain will ring down, tonight, on the regular league
A schedule of the Alamo Athletic association league, with the
playoff being scheduled to begin, Monday, but, as is usually
the case in AAA's closely contested leagues, a. "pre-playoff"
will undoubtedly be necessary to determine the league cham-
pionship, and certainly the positions of the first four teams in
the playoff series.
The only thins that Is definitely
known now Is tlmt the four tennis
Hint will make the playoff arc East
End Settlement house, L. ami S.,
Kelly fielil Bombers, nml Ito.vs club.
Regardless of what happens to-
night, these four teams are "In."
But what team will be in what
spot, after tonight's games, is haril
to predict. There are Just about
umpteen possibilities.
I* ami S.-Boyi Club In Feature
The feature attraction tonight
wll pit L. and S.agalust Boys club
In what should be one of the hard-
est and best-plnyed games of the
season. And, at this point, it looks
like a toss-up.
W. L ("Black Not* Book") Wnl-
ker's rampaging Kast End Settle-
ment house lads have already cinch-
ed no less that a tie for first place.
If Boys Club defeats L, and S., and
American Legion stages the upset
to end all upsets and downs Kelly
field, then the championship bunt-
ing will go to the East Enders with-
out further ado, with Kelly, L. nml
8., and Boys club being tied for
second.
A "sudden death" series will then
be played next Monday and Wed-
nesday to decide second, third, ami
fourth places, and the playoff will
get nnder way next Friday night,
with the one and four, and two
•nd three teams meeting In a two-
out-of-three games series. The two
winners of these semi-final series
will then tangle In a three-out-of-
five setto for the crown.
If Boys club beats L. and 8., and
Kelly field whips the Legionnaires,
then Kelly and East End will be tied
for first, and Boys club and L. and
S. deadlocked for second. In that
event, Kelly and East End will piny
.Monday night, with the winner
getting the championship, and sec-
ond place going to the loser. Boys
club and L. and 8. will meet In
Monday's other game, with the win-
ner getting third, the loser fourth.
If L. anil S. heals Boys club, and
Kelly Bombers beat the Legion
nnires, then Boys club will be
fourth, and L. and S„ East End,
and Kelly will all be tied for first.
These three teams will play In a
sudden death scries, next Monday
and Wednesday, for the champion-
ship, and second and third places.
If L. and S. beats Boys club, and
the Legion upsets Kelly, then L.
nml 8. and East End will battle It
out for the championship nnd sec-
ond place, Monday night. Kelly will
be third, and Boys club will be In
fourth.
If—oh, well, you sec what we
mean. One thing that can be de-
pended on, is that all teams will
really be lu there tonight, battling
for <.11 they are worth.
In the event three teams are In-
volved In the sudden death pre-
playoff, for the championship, they
will draw, with one getting a bye.
The other two will play, with the
loser dropping to third place, and
the winner playing the team that
drew the bye for the championship,
the loser getting second.

NEW YORK, N. Y.—Only two

team occupies, said Jackie Robinson,
Brooklyn star, in an interview with
a white reporter last week.
Philadelphia and St Louis were
named as the two prejudiced cities
where he Is denied hotel accommo-
dations.
The St. Loafs Cardinals are the
most friendly team, *+?§ Jackie,
and the Chicago Cuba the m fit-

In a recent ratne against Cin-

pitcher called Jackie an ugly name
and Jackie returned the compliment
This ended the unpleasantness.

American Legion Gets Off Bottom
By U. JAY
THE underdog St. Philip's junior college softballers gave a
wavering L. and S. nine all it could handle, Friday night,
at Lincoln park, through five innings of a AAA league game, but
a sixth inning six-run outbreak by the L. and S. men provided
the margin of difference, with the final score being 11-8, L. and
S. Incidentally, L. and S.. to start things, had come within 20
seconds of forfeiting the game to the collegians, when the

In tho second tussle of the night,
Ma battli of the cellar," American
Legion emerged from its eighth
place tl > with Alamo Barber col-
lege to leavr the hapless tonsorialists
sole possessors of the bottom rung,
the Legi- nnaires getting a 15-7 win,
although getting only three hits.
L. and S.-St. Philip's
Hem hitless and runless in the
first Inning, L. and 8. scored five
times in the top of the second, after
the fitst two men up had gone out.
A base on balls, two errors, two
more walks, and then W. Heard's
dOQtdl and Tommy Eggleatou's
triple accounted for the tallies.
But St. rhilip's bounced back in
the bottom of the inning to tic it
up. Hall walked, was forced out at
second, with Grant getting life. On
iejjjf. c choice, Yates got life.
and Grant taking third on the mis-
cue.
Cook was hit by a pitched ball to
load the bases, and Jackson walked
to force in Grant. Darden struck
out, but Phillips was hit by r pitch-
ed ball to force in Yates. Williams'
single drove in Cook and Juckson.
with l'hillips also scoring as a play
was being made for Willimas.
The next throe innings saw neither
team scoring. In the sixth, L. and
S. suddenly came to life to score
six runs, and again, they did all
their scoring ufter two were out.
It took only a matter of a few
seconds to retire Willie Simmons
and Dewey Johnson, and It looked
like another scoreless inning. But
then, George Milliard got hold of
one for three bases, and stored on
an error at short that gave Arthur
tion with the Son Antonio recrea
tion department, was the first such
meet of its kind since Pearl Harbor.
Ellis advanced to the champion-
ship by defeating H. Johnson in a
first round match, G-4, 4-0, 0-1, and
Kluster Brown, top seeded player,
0-4, 8-10, 0-2, in a warmly contested
second round struggle. Ellis went
into the finals by downing Dr.
Robert Bailey, G-4, 8-0, 0-2.
Collins drew a first round bye,
nnd then went to the semi-finals
without lifting n racket, when Cor-
poral James H. Wright of Lackland
air base def&ulted. In the Mini*
finals, Collins defeated Leon Woods,
0-4. 7-5.
Woods and Brown had been the
meet's only seeded players, nnd
Woods, Southwestern intercollegiate
champion, nnd winner of the Prairie
View open, had been a big favorite
to reach the finals. Woods' game
wn3 noticably affected by a Furies
of close nnd questionable decisions,
all of which were called against
him.
In the finals, play was close, and
the exchanges were often prolonged
with both players uncorking sparkl-
ing shots and difficult returns, but
Ellis held the edge throughout to
win the s.-t. n I. H< dev< oped
a stresk of erratic stroking in the
second sot;, which he dropi ed to
Collins, 4 0. but he ran thn ugh the
third act l, arid was again deeide-
ly supori >r iu the fourth, which he
took, 0 1.
Collins, with the score 2 ,1. against
him, and the game score love-forty,
set, match, ami championship point,
rallied to deuce, and eventually
take, the game. But Ellis wns not
to be denied, and took the n**it
game, for the set, match, nnd title.
