TEXAS CHASE
FOR PENNANT
HOTLYPLAYED
Spuds Go Into Top By
Beating the Bluffs;
Houston, Bears and
Cats All Are Close
(By The Associated Press)

AAG AGG
The battle for first place in the
Texas league continues with four
clubs, Wichita Falls, Houston. San
Antonio, and Fort Worth, indulging
in give and take practices that allow
slight advantage for any one.
After a days absence from it, the
Spudders jumped back into leader
ship Monday by defeating Houston,
4 to 2, in a furious game featured by
the good pitching of Steengrafe and
the hard hitting of Outfielders Eldred
and jenkins.
Fort Worth moved into third place
by defeating Beaumont, 6 10 5, in ten
innings, while San Antonio was losing
to Shreveport by a 5 to 8 score.
Both Cats and Exporters hit the
ball hard, but premier swatting hon
ors were claimed by Joe Bonowitz
who parked the ball in the tenth
after Beaumont had knotted the count
in the ninth with a two-run rally in
which Petrie and Phillips hit dou-
bles.
The Sports won from San Antonio
by virtue Of a five-run lead acquired
in the first inning when Hinkle blew
up and retired in favor Of Andy
Messenger.
Waco defeated Dallas, 8 to 3, when
the Steers found 30 Molenda, the
northern football star, unhittable in
the pinches and the Cubs found the
slants to Cliff Jackson to their liking.
Dallas started scoring in the first
with a couple of runs, but Waco got
a tally in their half of the same in
ming and sewed things up with six
more in the third.
