Hugo Battered
By Eagle Batters
In 15 to 0 Game
The improved Sulphur Spring*
Eagles chalked up their fourth
straight triumph here Sunday af-
ternoon as they trampled a han-
less Hugo nine, 15 to 0. ,
R. J. Pierce, steady right-hand-
er, went the route and pitched
six-hit hail as he won his first
shutout of the season.
The Eagles, pared by Red Grif-
fin and Odell Morrison, pounded
the offering* of southpaw David
Clark for 14 hits. Griffin and
Morrison each collected three hits
in four trips to the plate, and
Griffin also scored five of the
Eagle markers.
There was never any doubt con-
cerning the outcome as the locals
pushed score* across early In the
melee. The Eagles scored twice In
the first and third innings, once
in the fifth and sixth, and nine
in the seventh.
In the first round, Lcathereye
Stewart drew a walk, and legged
it all the way to third on Ro-'
mack's sacrifice bunt. Red Grif-

Kenneth Fletcher, a welter-

Wildcat boxer to garner a cham-
pionship in the DeKalb Tourna-
ment staged Saturday night. Flet-
cher defeated Billy Evan* of De-
Kalb to walk, away with welter-
weight honors.
Phil McDonald, only other Wild-
cat to gain the finals, lost a split
decision to Donald Tidwell of
Pittsburg. It was a very close
fight ail the way.
DeKalb proved to be a rude
host, winning its own tournament
and having three representatives
crowned champion*.

WHERE THEY PLAY MONDAY
fte Sportsman
(Bp Autrfptrd Press!
Ted Williams is the top hitter
In the American League. And
Stan Musial i.« the numlier one
Rlickman in the National League.
The record book proves the case
for both.
But both William* and Musial
have a long way to go before they
will overtake the life-time leaders
in their respective leagues.
The life-time leaders among to-
day’s active player* are a pair
of reipected veterans, Luke Ap-
pling of the Chicago White Sox
and Dixie Walker of the Pitts-
burgh Pirates.
Appling in the only active Am-
erican Leaguer who hold* mem-
bership in the exclusive 2,000-hit
club. Walker is the National Lea-
gue’s sole active representative in
the 2,000-hit fraternity. The 40-
year-old Appling opened the 1949
season with a life-time major
league total of 2,571 base hits.
Luke ha* been adding to that fig-
ure as the White Sox’ regular
shortstop. Walker started this
year with a life-time total of
2,013 hits and he too has been
adding to hi* total as the Pirates’
right fielder.
Appling is playing his 18th sea-
son In the big time. Walker is
in hi* 16th season as a major
leaguer.
Williams’ life-time total of
1,294 hits as a major leaguer ap-
pears quite puny alongside Ap-
pling’* figure. Of course, Ted
didn't get started in th* majpes1
until 1939 and he lost three sea-
son* during the war.
Musial's life-time total of 1,225
hits is far from challenging Wal-
ker’s total. Musial didn’t arrive
in the big leagues until late in
the 1941 season. Stan missed the
1946 season because of war ser-
vice.
Williams has averaged 185 hits
per season during his seven full
years with the Boston Red Sox.
Musial has averaged 200 hits per
year in six full season* with the
St. Louis Cardinal*. Assuming
both continue at that pace, they
will not hit the 2,000-mark in to-
tal hits until 1962.
Two American Leaguer* have a
chance to join the 2,000-hlt club
this year. They are Joe DIMaggio
pf the New York Yankee* and
Wally Moses of the Philadelphia
Court Upholds
Bribe Conviction
(Bp AuoeiaUd Pnmt
.Washington, May 2.—The Su-
preme Court has upheld the con-
viction of two men charged with
offering bribes to New York
Giant pro football player*. The
vote was four to four. The two
men are Harvey Rtemmer and
David Krakower of New York.
They claimed that New York
State illegally used evidence
against them obtained by wire-
tapping.
Ini
Finals at
„ .iiiwwuni
Athletics.
DIMaggio needs 147 more hit*
to make it. Joe collected 190 safe-
ties in 162 game* last year. The
Yankee Clipper hasn’t appeared
in the Yankees’ lineup so far this
year because of an ailing heel.
But with luck be will be over the
2,00 mark in total Wits by the end
of the year.
