Osllsi Submarines
Make Their First Stop
Here Wednesday at 4
The Dallas Submarines will shove
their periscopes above the turning
basin waters some time Wednesday
and seek a landing for four days
while they engage the Buffs In a
four-day series at West End park.
It will be the first chanoa to eee
the team that Hamilton Patterson
Is leading In Teiaa. Of late the
Subs have found things all to their
liking In San Antonio and Galves-
ton but they got slightly sub-
merged in a drubbing Tuesday on
the island.
Now that Waco is gone tha Buffs
are hopeful that all the bad streak
has passed and that victories are
coming in rapid order. The Subs
come in second place and a tew
beatings will do well to widen the
gap at the top of the ladder.
The hour Is 4 o'clock at West End
park. t
