TEXAS CLUBS
IN DOG FIGHT
Lead Alternates Between
Waco, Sports, Steers
For 6 Days
BY GAYLE TALBOT, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The man or boy who can site you
% the leader OF the Texas league
nightmare on any given day Is good.
The situation around the top Of the
adder has become so strained in the
asst week it requires a percentage
able TO ascertain what club Is ruling
The roost.
Consider the fact that for the last
six days the lead has alternated
daily between Waco. Shreveport and
Dallas. with none OF the three able
10 hold the fort longer than "a
hours. 1t Is extremely doubtful that
ans circuit ever witnessed such a
scrap at this stage Of The game.
The dog-fight began last Wednes-
day. when the Sports .ioved into a
virtual tie with the Cubs. Thurs
day the Louisiana entry took pos
session OF the pinnacle, only to be
ousted the next afternoon by the
CuhIets. Saturday the slugging out
of-staters grabbed the top rung
again, to hold it until Sunday. when
the Dallas Steers hurdled both the
Sports and Cubs to gain the lead.
The Dallas Leadership lasted until
Yesterday. when the Mavericks were
trounced, 10 to g.. IN their opener at
Wichita Falls. the Sports crowding
back into first by two percentage
points as they nosed out the Fort
Worth Kittens. 5 to 4, at Shreveport.
Waco dropped its initial fray at
Houston. 10 to !, and slipped back
out OF the thick of the fighting, a
game and a half from the roof.
Beaumont's IA to 4 victory over
San Antonio in their inaugural at
the Indian village served TO tighten
I'D the second division TO where you
can't see daylight between a trio
OF clubs. The tribe, in fifth place,
is two points ahead Of the Spudders,
who boast q one-point over the Buff
Faloes. and the Dixie champions are
one game out OF the cellar.
