FUCHS URGES EvERS
TO PILOT, is REPORT

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June with the major
league base ball season scarcely more
than six weeks under way, change in
the management of the Boston Braves
appeared in prospect today. President
Emil E. Fuchs, who caused something
of a sensation in base ball circles when
he announced after the Hornsby trade
last season that he would undertake
active management of the club, was
reported to have offered the job to
Johnny Evers, former big league star.
Evers now is a Braves coach.
Fuchs was understood to have talked
the matter over with Evers by long dis
lance telephone, but the coach, now di-
recting the tribal destinies in the Gin
cinnati series, was said to have been
reluctant to change his status. although
willing to continue to manage the club
on the road.
The Braves surprised the experts by
taking and holding the National League
leadership at the opening Of the season,
but have recently experienced slump.
Fuchs hoped by devoting all of his time
to searching for new material, to bolster
the outfit to something like its former
effectiveness

CHICAGO, June Ragged support
given Guy Bush by the Cubs enabled
the Giants TO win by to here today
in their first game in the West this
season. 1t was Bush's first defeat Of the
season.
Carl Mays started for the Giants, but
was knocked from his moorings in the
fifth just q moment too soon to get
credit for the victory which Jack Scott
saved. Mays downfall came in the fifth
when the Cubs put together four hits

named are the DSSC IS1IACHlOCl.
The three greatest right-hand
pitchers I ever saw were Mathew
son, Alexander and Walter john
son. The three best left-handers
were Waddell, Vanguard and Pen
mock. Schupp was the greatest
pitcher of the lot for single sea-
son. Many persons would substi-
tute Young, Ed Walsh, Keefe,
Vance, Bender, RuSie, Plank,
White, Wiltse, McGinnity. Wood,
Reuhlbach, or some other for one
of those named.
Some Mighty Records.
It lis Just a matter of opinion. Young
pitched % years. He won 20 or more
games in "A consecutive seasons. In
1908, Ed Walsh pitched in Sc games
He worked 464 innings and in one game
struck out Is men.
Matty pitched II years in which time
he won 372 games and struck out 2.2s7
batters. One season he won 81 games.
One season he pitched AIS innings.
One season he pitched 81 consecutive
innings without giving base on balls.
Walter johnson pitched 81 years OF
big league ball. He worked in 8O2
games and won AIS. He struck OUT
3.497 batters, leading his league III
strike-outs for eight years in success
sion and for a total of IL years. In
one game he struck out six men In
succession. In 1912 he won 10 games
in a row. Six seasons he led all pitch
ers of his league in games won. He
pitched 1l3 shut-out games, not count
ing one in a worlds series. One year
he pitched three Shut-out games In
four days. In 1913 he pitched So con-
secutive shut-out innings.
Grover Cleveland Alexander started
his big league career in 1911. so this Is
his nineteenth year OF service. Six sea-
sons he led the National League in
strike-outs. Six years he led his
league in games won. Only Walter
johnson has pitched more shut-out
games. In 1916 he pitched 16 games
in which no opponent crossed the plate.
Three Great Southpaws.
Give me these three right-handers in
their prime and I'd have the nucleus
of a fair pitching staff. Add the three
southpawS, Waddell, Marquard and
Pennock, put a fielding team behind
them. and you wouldn't need many
sluggers to win ball games.
But you would need catchers. In
condition, Larry Mclean was as good
catcner as ever saw, Out barry was
an irresponsible For steady work you
could hardly do better than Bresnahan,
King and Archer.
The three most valuable first base
men in the majors today probably are
Gehrig, Bottomley and Terry. At sec
ond, most fans, probably would select
HornSby, Frisch and Lazzeri. Some
might favor Gehringer just now.
imagine most managers would like
to take their pick from Traynor, Foxx
and High at third, although some might
pick Kamm. Lindstrom would round
out the trio FOR some. even though he
hasn't been hitting.
Jackson, Bartell and Soluble might
do for shortStops, although there would
be lots Of discussion regarding value
here. Ruth, Simmons and Goslin
probably would pull a strong outfeld
vote, but Paul Waner would have
plenty Of support.
Cochrane. O'Farrell and Gooch
would make a comfortable catching
staff, and Grimes Uhle and Grove ap-
pear to be highly useful pitchers.

 Arthur E. Darling of Pomfret was the complaining witness. The defend ant put up a half hearted defense that the cheek was accepted with the knowledge that there were not suffi- cient funds to meet payment. This was denied by the complainant.
 When the woman learned that wit nesses had been summoned who would testify that she was not in funds at the bank she entered a plea of guilty to the complaint.
 Louis A. Woisard of Dauielson act ed as justice in the case and A. New ron Searls. grand juror. represented the state.
 Justice Woisard impressed upon the woman the seriousness or the of fense with which she was charged and warned her that second otfense would entail a substantial prison sem tence. It is understood that there are other instances where cheeks were is- sued when there were no funds in the bank.

INCREASE 3l2
Bonds To Be Voted On Sat
urday Would Make Room
For New Pupils

An increase in the Brownsville in
dependent school district scholastic
census Of 312 over the previous year
as announced Thursday was seen by
proponents of the $4,000 bond issue
to be voted on Saturday as a further
reason for the passage OF the is
sue which would be used to provide
facilities for more pupils here.
The 1929-30 census is 1888 as
compared to 4421 for last year. In
addition to the increase this year
and the regular gain next year, a
new state law provides that the
1930-31 census include six-year-olds.
The six-year-olds are expected to
increase the scholastic population
by from 300 to 400.
The $4,000 issue would be used to
remodel the old grammar school
and to construct and equip a six
room ward school in Alta Vista.
These two structures will relieve the
stress placed on the new grammar
school and cut down the distance
for the young pupils to travel.
No opposition to the old board OF
trustees has developed and the
names of Harbert Davenport, Ike A.
Dudley, j. S. Graham and o. v.
Lawrence, all old members of the
board, have been presented in petit
ton and placed on the ballot for
the election Saturday. They will be
elected for a term Of two years.
Eoldovers on the board are Sher-
wood Bishop, r. B.. Creager and
Cleve H. Tandy.
The election will be conducted by
Henry M. Shelton, Jr., at the old
school building on Ninth
between Adams and Madison. The
polls will be open from 8 a. m. until
7 p. m.
Plans for the two school struc-
lures, drawn jointly by Ben v. Proc
tor of Brownsville and Phelps and
Devices Of San Antonio, have been
approved by the trustees. If the
issue is passed, it is planned to i'm
mediately call for bids for the sale
