TRIPLE PLAY
OFF SINGLE
CBy The Associated Press)

$50 ~Al1CAA4AGA AAGA1I
The story hoT Homer Peel or the
Houston Buftaloes hit into a triple
play with a clean single TO right
field should by rights become a
classic Of the pastime.
Peel came 10 bat in the fifth
inning. A single, a Texas Lacquer
and a beat-out bunt had loaded
the bases. Peel lined out his single,
Hook scoring from third. Rollings
rounded third in his wake but paus-
ed to take stock Of the situation.
The Dallas right fielder threw
home. the catcher flipped the bail
TO third. and Pinky Higgins tagged
Rollings out. Selph. who had arriv-
ed in the vicinity OF third. started
back to second. where he found
Peel in possession OF the base. Peel
started back to first. Both were
run down between the bases.
Shreveport's 80 afternoon victor.-
over Beaumont had given the Buffa-
loes their chance to regain the lea
que lead. Even so. they have only
half a game on the Exporters. who
could easily be in the lead again by
nightfall. Southpaw Thornton Lee
OF the Sports let Beaumont down
with three hits.
At Galveston the Buccaneers took
their customary dive. the Wichita
Falls Spadders collecting Is hits
for an 81 victory. Carroll OF the
Buccaneers relieved Dumovich in
the ninth with two on base and one
out, retiring the next two men.
At San Antonio Fort Worth ran
wild In the fourth. scoring seven
runs off three pitchers. The final
score was 8 TO 5.

SAN BENITO. June l0.-The big
HIS OF the McAllen Palms Horton,
Hardy. and Harwood-were unable
to stem a San Benito victory and
the Saints staged a ninth inning
rally after a trailing the IN.ns by
three scores, to win the opening
game Of the series, 1919, here to-
Gay before one Of the best week
day crowds the park has seen this
season.
Miller's single in the ninth sent
Williiord and Hoffman home with
the necessary scores and the Saints
made 1t four victories out OF the
last five games played.
The affray saw another new
conner enter the Saints lineup and
pound his way TO a regular berth
on the local club. Jordan, formerly
q member of the MoPac nine at
K~ingsville, tried on a Saint unifor.n
here today and liked 1t so well that
he preceded TO lay a permanent
claim to the robe and he crashed
out three hits. and to make 1t a
days work played a spectacular
game in the pastures.
McAllen jumped on Montalvo's
hooks in the first frame TO bring
home one run. benson sent the
first pitched ball out into deep left
field for two bases and he hurried
home when C~ontreras singled 10
center. The Palm. hot sacker, went
out, Jordan TO Hill TO Midniff. TO
Montalvo to Williford when he at
tempted to stretch the hit into a
double. Bonds struck out and Wells
popped out TO Montalvo to end the
inning.
Horton saw little service on the
mound for after he walked Hill and
williams, Jordan beat out an in
field hit down the third base line
TO fill the bases, and Hardy. the
ace Of the McAllen pitching staff.
was sent to his relief. Hill scored
when Williford grounded out. Wes-
ton TO Cox. weston made a beauti-
ful stop Of Hoffman's linedrive but
threw IL away and williams and
Jordan scored. Campbell and Miller
went out in rapid succession.
The game See-Sawed back and
forth with the count tied at six all
IN the seventh frame when the
Palms took advantage OF a base on
balls, a passed ball, and an error to
account for three unearned runs.
Williams opened the ninth frame
for san Benito when his grounder
took a bad hop over Wells head
and went for a base hit. Jordan
sent him to third when he singled
to right. Williford's single to center
scored Williams and Harwood took
the mound for the Palms but he
walked Hoffman and when he un-
corked a wild pitch, Jordan scored.
Campbell was purposely walked and
Miller, sent the second ball pitched
into center field TO score Williford
and Hoffman with the tying and
winning scores.
The Palms tangle with the Saints
again Thursday afternoon starting
at 4 o'clock. Flores will hurl for the
Palms, with White taking his turn
in the box for the locals.

Gated because Tommy Is a native
born Scotchman. even If he did
turn American later. Tommy. him
sell, claims TO be Anglican and gives
the United States credit for his golf
game. But in reality, he was quite a
golfer back in Scotland before he
marched off to the World War
under the British flag. AS a stu
dent at Edinburgh University, the
canny Scot showed great ability on
the links. He was severely wounded
in the war and his injuries caused
him TO change up his golf game
after coming to the United States.
Undoubtedly the keen competition
in this country has sharpened up
his game.
