Split Season Seen
Unlikely as Texas
Race Grows Hotter
(By The Associated Press.)


Events of the weekend about pre-
cluded the last possibility of a two
ply race in the Texas league. Even
if the eight magnates who plant
their feet under President Roberts
desk at Dallas tomorrow were in ia
vor Of dividing the club chase for
financial reasons. it is doubtful
they would sdare affront the cash
customers by disrupting such a
battle royal as is in progress at this
time.
1t would be trying to gid the well
known lily. When a schedule is
half run and three outfits are packed
into a space of one game at the top
of the heap, that is what is tech
nically known as a boss race.
Dead Balls Up
When the first half of the 1929
scramble ended June %, Houston
was leading the second place Pan
theirs by even and one-half games,
with Dallas % ID games in the
rear. Today, Dallas is clinging to
first place by a margin of M game,
with Wichita Falls and Shreveport
deadlocked on the second : floor.
Fort Worth, fourth, is six games
out Of the lead.
1t is pretty safe to assume the
club owners at their mid-term
meeting will confine themselves to
a discussion Of the caliber Of base
balls being used in the league this
season. There was much unrest a
few weeks ago, when some one dis
covered the pellets didn't have the
old rep.
Shreveport yesterday trounced the
Indians in their opener, 81 to II,
scoring 10 times in the first in
ming. Wilbur Cooper had the tribe
well tanned until the Ninth, when
the newnamites staged a typical
eight-run rally.
Martina Wins
Some alright tWirling by Joe
Martina against the Waco Cubs,
formerly his nemesis, enabled the
Steers to stay abreast Of the pro-
cession. The oyster merchant, who
had dropped two tough decisions TO
the Cubs in their home lot, allowed
the Pattmen only three scattered
hits and BANKED them, 5 to 0.
The Spudders practically kicked
themselves out Of a tie with Dallas
TO rthe pinnacle. After licking the
Exporters, z to 5. in the first game
Of a double bill. they became loop
legged in the second and committed
five errors that contributed largely
to the Southern clubs Il to 10 ver-
dict. Hermann, ne wthird sacker,
booted three.
Houston's Bluffs curled I'D twice
before the Panthers, Z to 2 and 6 to
4, thereby diving back into the base
ment.

Baseball attention has turned
somewhat to John Heydler's circuit,
where the Cubs are running riot.
The National league leaders cleaned
up four decisions at SportSman'S
park, the last in a remarkable up
hill fight yesterday.
The home field of the Cardinals
was no place for a pitcher on the
Sabbath. The champions first eaSed
Charlie Root from the premises un-
der the urge Of a six-run rally in
the second, and continued their gay
pranks against the veteran Rubber
Jonnard, who appeared as relief.

Barnhart's Wrist
Is Being Operated
On In San Antonio

"Big Dan" Barnhart, star fullback
on the Brownsville Eagles undefeat-
ed 1923 eleven, is now undergoing
an operation on a weak wrist in San
Antonio.
Barnhart's wrist has been in poor
condition for some time and it is
hoped that the operation will put
the bad member in shape. Local
fans will remember that Barnhart
wore a brace on his wrist during
the basketball season.
If his arm comes around, the
Eagles will have another excellent
passer on their roster. He was
formerly noted for his ability to
twirl the pigskin down the line.
Since the injury, however, he has
not attempted to do much passing.

Doctor Found Women
and Children Sick
More Often than Men

As a family doctor at Monticello,
Illinois. the whole human body, not
any small part Of it, was DR.. Cald-
wells practice. More than half his
calls" were on women, children and
babies. They are the ones most often
sick. But their illnesses we're usu-
ally of n minor nature-colds, fevers.
headaches, biliousness-and all OF
them required first a thorough
evacuation. They were constipated.
In the course Of Dr.. CaldweIl's A.
years practice, he found a good deal
of success in such cases with a pre-
scription Of his containing
simple laxative herbs with pepsin.
In 1892 he decided TO use this for
mula in the manufacture of DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and placed
it on the market.
The preparation Immediately had
as great a public success as il previ-
cuslv had in DR.. Caldwell's private
practice. Now. rhe third generation
Is using IL. Mothers are giving it TO
their children who were given it by
their mothers. Every second OF the
working day someone somewhere is
going into a drug store 10 buy il.
There are thousands Of homes in this
country that are never without a
hottie Of DR.. Csldwell's Syrup Pep
sin. and we have many hundreds OF
letters from grateful people telling
us il helped when everything else
failed.
