Louise Wallops
Pirates 10-3 To Take
Gulf Coast Lead
Ross Labay, ace righthander of
the Louise Oilers, humbled the
VFW Pirates 10 to 3 here Sunday
afternoon in a Hug - the - Coast
League game.
Fancy Louise chucking kept the
Pirates swinging all afternoon at
hooks they had not looked over be-
fore this season. In the only game
the Pirates had faced Labay this
season he relied principally on
speed. Sunday afternoon the first
few Pirates that faced the league
leading chucker showed their weelc-
ness for curves and the rest of
the afternoon they looked over
some very fancy curve ball pitch-
ing.
Louise took a big lead in the
opening innings when many Pirate
misplays coupled with a few timely
hits gave the Oilers a 10 to 0 lead
in five innings.
After 6 innings of ill support
COMMENT—
(Continued From Page 3)
This year, UCLA faces a much
tougher schedule than the one they
swept through undefeated and un-
tied in 194G. They open the season
against Iowa, co-favorites with
Michigan for the Big Nine cham-
pionship, and then face Northwes-
tern the following week.

One of the big surprises of the
baseball season is the showing of
the Philadelphia Athletics. Even
Boss-Man Connie Mack is surprised
and admits it’s rather difficult to
explain how they got along as well
as they have. For the past two
years, the A’s have been cellar
dwellers. They were slated to spend
this season there also. But the A’s
pulled stakes and went looking for
better quarters—up in the first
division. The Philadelphia manager
attributes the surprised showing to
tremendous , spirit and two play-
ers—Fain and Joost. And Mr.
Mack, who is nearing his 85th
birthday, is smiling these days be-
for the 19'48 pennant. One thing
about Mack—he’s always planning
for the future.

the visitors out without a hit or a * ‘

The Pirates came to life in the
seventh and eighth innings when
they scored three runs in the sev- „ .

OF THE

Vernon Wright hopped into the
lejft in the Big three by a large
margin Sunday when he punched
out three hits in 4 times at bat. Al-

three games he ranks fourth in the

an individual on the Pirate team
this season.
