TEXAS LEAGUE
| SWINGS IN To
| ANOTHER RACE
Bears at Houston Wednes-
day Facing Shoots Of
Jack knight. r.
CLEAR FOR AMERICAN
Good Weather Prevails for
Secnd Set Of Major
Openers.

The barrier lifted Wednesday after
noon and the eight clubs of the Texas
League began their twenty-first an
Hual pennant race.
II The San Antonio Bears left home
late Tuesday night and were in Hous-
ton Wednesday ready TO face Jack
knights deliberate pitching. Knight,
according to word from the Bayou
City, was the most probable selec-
ton for mound duty with the Buff
faloes. Manager Coleman of the
Bears intended to start Bob Couch
man IL his veteran slow curve artist
felt in tip-top shape.
Other games were:
Dallas at Fort Worth. -
+ Wichita Falls at Shreveport. 50
Galveston at Beaumont.
San Antonio at Houston.
The weather was a little bit wintry
for baseball openers in most places,
according TO reports, but there was
no rain and the games seemed des-
tined to be played before big crowds.
The majority of dopesters favor
Fort Worth for fourth consecutive
Championship, but figure the opposi-
ton this year will be materially hot
ter than in the last couple Of seasons.
Mitchell Is Released.
Pitcher Johnny Mitchell, who was
on the list to be taken to Houston
Tuesday night, was given his uncon-
ditional release following the Bears
afternoon workout at League Park,
cutting the staff down TO Kraft, Couch
man, Roberts, Lybrand, Meme, Payne
and Marshall, with Austin and Ores
set left at home but hardly likely to
De offered seasons contracts.
The Bears were to meet Pitcher
Guy Morrison. from the New York
Giants, and Third Baseman Syl ST.
mon. from the st. Louis Browns, at
Houston.
Manager Coleman had Todt work
ing at first and Galloway gobbling
the hot ones at third in the last work
out, indicating that he would use
this arrangement in the opening game
and start Simon Thursday.
Lou Kraft looks as if he'll make
a great pitcher for the Bears. The
San Antonio boy went into his first
practice Mt League Park Tuesday aft
ernoon with a vengeance. He seems to
have more speed behind his pitches
than last year, when, with Beaumont,
he relied almost entirely on his
.'dipsey-dew" slow drop. with remark
able success in the first part of the
season.
Kraft Glad to Be Here.
The impression had gotten out that
Lou didn't want TO play for San An
tonic, that he might sulk a bit at
being sent here from the Browns.
But not so. Lou talked to the
sporting editor of The Light in the
clubhouse after Tuesdays workout,
while the trainer massaged his pitch
ing arm. The first thing he said
was:
I'D have liked to stick in the big
show but I'm sure glad they sent me
here"
Kraft said his curve is breaking
better this spring than it has ever
done.
81 believe / had a curve as good as
any man in camp" the big right hand
er said. "but Foil told me he didn't

FLOYD JOHNSON REAL
SPORT; CHANCES ALL
ON GO WITH FULTON
Newspaper Decision
Against Him Will Rob
Him of Willard Chance.

New York, April fs.-Floyd John.
son, Iowa aspirant for heavyweight
boxing laurels, will go through with
his match with Fred Fulton, Mime
sofa plasterer, next Monday night at
Jersey City, and risk, upon the result,
his chances of meeting jess Willard in
the main bout of the charity show at
the Yankee stadium May II.
This announcement was made after
William Muldoon, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commission,
withdrew his order barring johnson
from boxing Fulton until after his
scheduled match with Willard.
Under the arrangement reached aft
er series of conferences. johnson will
forfeit to Fulton his place on the Yam
kee stadium card in the event he is de-
feated by the Minnesota boxer. Thus,
he will not only risk his pugilistic fu-
ture on the bout. but also a purse of
$4,000 he is TO receive for boxing
Willard.
Fulton, who previously had offerNl
to fight without compensa ton at the
charity show, signed an agreement on
this basis, TO be effective if be defeats
the young Iowan.
AS New Jersey boxing laws do not
permit decision, it was agreed to
leave the verdict on the bout, a H.
round affair, to the majority opinion
of sporting writers on New York morn
ing newspapers.

I'll win in this league. I feel fine
and I'm a little heavier than | was
last year. i can use these extra
couple of pounds. l was too blamed
skinny last year."
The opinion is general that Kraft
would have stuck in the major
leagues had he had trial with a
club less fortunate in pitchers. The
talent. Lou probably would have
stayed the season and gotten to per-
form for the Phillies. the Braves. the
Red Sox or some other team which
could use promising pitchers.
Kraft said that Homer Ezzell, the
home product who is Unfolding for
the Browns in utility role, has made
big hit with his defensive play, al
though he isn't burning up the town
with his hitting. Ezzell developed a
sore arm almost the first day in
camp, but gradually worked the sore
ness out and, when he did get start
ed. showed the big leaguers a few
things about playing the hot corner.
Thinks Simon o. X.
Kraft also thinks Simon, the young
third baseman the Bears got from st.
Louis with all the rest of the Brown
sent talent, will prove an able man
for the club. Kraft adds his word to
reports from the Missouri metropolis
that Simon has the largest pair OF
hands of any man in the business and
rifle-like throwing arm.
Perry Payne, the young pitcher
who reported to the Bears with Kraft
took stiff workout on the mound in
batting practice Tuesday. He denied
that his middle name is Severe. :
Payne is a tall, rangy lad, serious and
earnest. with the ability to throw tn,
ball overland, sidearm or underhand
His clipper" thrown underhand
probably will be exclusive in the
Texas League. He appeared to have
good control of it Tuesday. Payne
