BASE BALL
Good Record Made at Home-Former
Pirates Doing Well

| The Pirates made a fine record on the
home stay the past two weeks, having
won every series except the one with
Oklahoma City The two games lost to
Oklahoma City were lost by close scores,
and all three games with them were bril-
liant contests, the one of last Tuesday
going fifteen innings 1t was one of the
best games ever seen in Shreveport
Tesreau pitched wonderful ball, allow
ing only one base on balls and that came
in the fifteenth inning and proved his
undoing as two hits followed and this
ended the game. Only seven hits were
made off Tesreau, and he struck out
nine men.
Shreveport went over to Galveston
Thursday where they play four games.
They started the road trip off we'll by
defeating Galvestor> in the first game 5
to 3 in ten innings. After the series
with Galveston they move over to
Houston.
The Sporting News has the following
to- say about Wheat, a former Pirate
Wheat continues to clout at about a
$50 clip, and in the outfeld is making
difficult catches look easy" 1t also has
this to say of Galloway, who played
with Shreveport this spring: Galloway
made a fair debut at Vicksburg with a
home run, double and three runs to his
credit He figured in a double and also
had two put-outs. In all, he had busy
day"
The Atlanta Constitution of June )
prints the pictures of the Montgomery
team of the Southern League, one of
them being our old Shreveport favor
lite, Jud Daley, who played such bril-
liant ball with Shreveport a few seasons
ago. Daley is playing great ball for the
Climbers this year and is leading the
League outfelders in fielding with an
average of go. The Constitution says:
''Jud Daley is one of the most popular
players in the Southern League today
and man who is hitting and fielding at
great clip
GOOD RUNNERS.
when a fellow learns how to run
when he breaks records-you can be
sure that he does not do all with his
feet and legs" remarked Melvin Shep-
pard recently.
There is only one way to run in re-
cord time, and that is for the fellow who
is attempting the feat to use his brains.
Some acquire the necessary trait, but |
have always found that calculating out
just how and when to run came natural
to me; that's the reason why l lowered
Lon Meyers figures for the 66o-yard
run and beat the worlds mark estab-
lished by Lunghi for the 7oo-yard run.
There's nothing to it! I've trained
more faithfully within the past few
weeks that ever before, but / could
never run as we'll as | did the other day
just on the strength | have gathered
since starting conscientious work. 1t
was Just that have the natural gift of
knowing when TO do the running that
counts in a race that gave me the two
new records"
Sheppard, running against a cold,
damp, penearting wind, created two new
worlds records that will probably stand
for years to come At the 66o-yard
mark he broke the tape III I :2I rs, just
SIS of a second faster than Meyers trav-
eled the distance 28 yaers ago. At 700
yards Sheppard crossed the line in
/ 20 As, which was SIS of second bet
ter than Iunchi's record.
