TEXAS UNDER
DOGS WINNERS
Spuds, Steers and Sports
Take Wallopings From
Southern Clubs

The bottom dropped out under
the Texas league leaders yesterday,
and the Spudders' winning streak
of IL straight games was caught In
the crush. 1t Is doubtful that Pres
ident Roberts circuit ever before
harbored as chesty a lot Of second
division clubs.
Dallas. Wichita Falls and Shreve-
port suffered alike at the hands Of
the vengeful DOWNSTAIRS. The
Spuds had perhaps the most hui
initiating experience, dropping their
series final to San Antonio, % TO
3. The question is open to argu-
ment. however. as neither the Steers
nor the Sports got as far as home
plate. Gus Foreman, Buff right
handler. stopped the leaders cold
with five hits to win a 5 TO O YER
dict. while the veteran Denny Burns
limited the Sports TO four blows as
the Exporters swept their series. 6 to
o. Fort Worth and Waco enjoyed
an off day.
Needless to say. the southern up
rising bound the pennant column a
little tighter. Shreveport, meeting
its sixth straight defeat, found it
self on the ragged edge Of the sec
ond division today, with three clubs,
Fort Worth. Waco and San Antonio
in a deadlock for the other first
division berths. Beaumont, seventh
was only a game and a half out
OF third place. The Bluffs, holding
up the procession, had lost only five
more games than the steers in first
place.
The pilgrimage OF northern clubs
neared its close today as all squared
off against new opponents. Having
dropped two Of three at Houston,
the pace setting Steers drew the Bu-
collie Beaumonters as their last
southern opposition. Shreveport. its
double apparently burst, engaged
the Buffaloes. wichita Falls in
vaded the notorious Katy park at
Waco, and the Fort Worth Kittens
trooped into San Antonio for a trio.

bout was not as interesting as the
sslam-bang affair put on at Browns
