Dallas Breaks 90 Tie in
Eighth Inning; Oilers
Held to Four Hits

DALLAS, Sept. 21.-tR-George
Washington Payne and his Spudder
defense fell apart simultaneously in
the eighth inning here today and
the Dallas Steers, generously ia
vored by Lady Luck, wrapped up
the third game Of the Texas league
play-off, 4 to o.
All Of the Mavericks runs rode In
during the one hectic frame, dur
ing which two infield raps hoped
playfully over the heads Of the
Spud inner defense and Outfielder
Guile muffed a lazy fly off Glaz-
ner's bat. Up 10 that time 1t had
been a pitchers battle between
Payne and his veteran adversary
Whitley Glazner. with the oatters
figuring inconspicuously. Each had
given ID three hits in the first
seven chapters, and had been ac-
corded sensational support.
Victory in today's tussle placed
the Steers in a strategic position,
needing to win only n more 10
close out Wichita Falls and enter
the Dixie series against the Birm-
ingham Barons. Victor Frazer
who whipped the Spudders in the
first game of the series. was sched-
uled to 60 back at the north coun-
trymen tomorrow. with Andy Mes
senger, the submariner, a likely
choice for the Oilers.
Glazner Stars
Glazner proved to be the Nav
ericks' money" pitcher today. HIS
curves were cracking across the
corners and the Spudders' heavy
artillery was silenced. The former
big Lacquer was gagged for four Of
fetal hits. two OF them or n IN
field scratch variety, and no Two
in the same inning. Only one visi-
tor reached second. and none got
that far after the second inning.
Ray Flaskamper shared the lau-
rels with Glazner. The mite Dallas
shortstop. who went hitless in two
games at Wichita Falls, smackeu
three singles off Payne, including
one in the eventful eighth, ana
played a sterling game atleld. hap
Morse connected twice.
From the outset it was evident
10 the crowd OF 10000 that they
wsxe in for another tense struggle
bd6ween the title c~ontenders. The
StEcrs' eighth inning splurge gave
them their first opportunity p
catch a deep breath. Time after
time the rival defense came UP with
sensational stops and throws that
had the crowd on its feet. Guile.
Spud rightfielder, pulled the prize
in the sixth when he snagged Ros-
enthal's long fly and threw out the
speedy Flaskamper at third with &
perfect pes.
The Spuds threatened in the sec
ond when Turgeon got a hit on
Jennings bobble and Crouch fol-
lowed with a line single. but Glaz-
ner calmly walked Hermann and
forced Payne 10 pop out.
Good Hurting
BENEFITS accurate peg to the
plate saved Payne a run in the
third. Morse singled and stole Sec
ond and was off fast when Flas-
hamper singed to left. but the throw
to Crouch nipped him with yards
to spare.
After that neither hurler was in
trouble until the big eighth rolled
around. Flaskamper singled again
in the sixth and reached second
on Benefits boot, but, as herein
before chronicled. fell a victim to
Gullic's Workmanship.
Bischoff led off the Dallas
eighth with a hunt that scaught
Hermann mapping and took second
on Jeffries' sacrifice. Then came
the break that spelled defeat for
the Spudders. Hap Morse raped
one toward Turgeon that looked
like a certain putout, but just before
reaching the Spud Keystoner, II
took a high bound and rolled on
into right field. Morse scored cas-
ily. and that proved to be the ball
game. GulIic's muff and singles b.
Flaskamper, Randy Moore and Rcd
Harvel put on the finishing touches.
