STAR SUSPENDED—
And speaking of the Cards, the

Cards’ most promising prospects j }nnjngS

LAWYER FOR A LAWYER’S
JOB. His opponent is not' a law-
yer. His contribution to his coun-
try during its time of stress was
that of' drawing a $4,600.00 salary
from Ellis County. Let fair; play
and common sense guide you in
voting.
apparently was finished yesterday.
The player in question is the
younger brother of Coaler Trip-
lett, former Cardinal outfielder.
Hooper Triplett, as he is known,
was suspended for life for betting
against his own team, the Colum-
bus club in the South Atlantic
League. Minor League President
W. G. Bramham expelled him
from organized baseball for all
time on evidence that the hard-
hitting outfielder wagered $20 a-
gainst his Columbus.
PROMISING PROSPECT—
Triplett was fined $500 earlier
and suspended indefinitely despite
protests that he was only fooling
around and had no malicious in-
tent . Triplett was one of the
rising young stars in the Card’s
farm chain. A loose-swinging, dis-
tance hitter, Triplett showed great
promise with Columbus before the
war. Discharged from the army
this spring, he had picked up his
fast pace and was batting .315
when suspended. Bramham stated
, that the lifetime suspension would
be the best thing for organized
baseball. So it seems that the
Cards lost a good man before they
ever got to use him.
NELSON RED-HOT—
Byron Nelson forgot about his (
aching back yesterday long enough
to beat Herman Barron 3 and 2
in the third round of the Profes-
sional Golfers’ Association Cham-
pionship play at Portland, Ore.
Barron played fine golf, shooting a
3 under par score; however, Lord
Byron fired a nine under par
round at him to discourage any
hopes of victory that Barron may
have had. Nelson in my book is
still tops with Ben Hogan running
a close second. Who cares which
is better; they are both Texas boys
who learned their golf while cad-
dying in Ft. Worth.
