The big rookie. solid and chilly as a
ccldStorage turkey, bent to his task
-Four of the first six men to face him
went down, lunging futilely at his daz-
cling curve ball. And in the meantime
the Cardinals, swinging from the hip in
desperation, climbed aboard the mighty
Grove.
Cards Get to Grove Early.
There was something wrong with the
great Lefty's curve and control. In the
very first inning, after he had famed
little Andy High, substituting in the
Cardinal third-base corner for the in
jured Sparky Adams, Wally Roettger
Smacked him for a single. FriSch
shot a single into right on the
hit-and-run play, and Bottomley. the
hitting bust of the 1880 clashes, prompt
ly drove home the first run with an in
field single . and before the inning
was over Martin, the young center
fielder. like Derringer a newcomer to
this sort Of thing, banged a long dou
BILE of the right field screen and the
second run was over.
Some of the highest and widest
cheering and uproar any series ever saw
waited Derringer out there for the third
inning His 2-run lead bulked large as
the grandstands. The winning tide
seemed finally to have turned - the
Inderdog.
Then it was that the house Of Cards
came topping down as the champions
turned their power loose en- the rookie
who had given too much OF his swift
ones and benders blotting out the AS
in the first two innings
Jimmy Dykes bounced a single over
la - t. ~
Williams, sensational young ShortStop,
who ousted the veteran Joe Boley from
the champions lineup, cracked a safe
shot into right. Grove famed for the
first Of three times and Max Bishops
grounder led to Dykes being trapped
on third. Mule Haas belted a double
into left and one run was over. Mickey
Cochrane walked.
But there were two out and the big
crowd sat tense as Derringer, his lead
fading, worked carefully on the out
standing slugger of them ALL Al Sim
mons. The big youngster got three
balls and two strikes on the major
league hitting champion. One more
strike, even ball hit SO that a fielder
could handle it, and Derringer might
have come through to hear his name
sung today all over the base ball world.
Instead the crucial pitch was an inch
or so wide. Simmons walked. And the
deluge came with the run he forced
in. Big Jimmy Foxx hammered a
vicious single through the infield. an
other pair of runs counted and the
game was on ice.
Later in the seventh inning, when it
meant little except for the picture
value, Simmons plucked off high, wide
ball and planted it in the left-f1eld
bleachers. Mickey Cochrane, who had
singled, scored ahead of him. Der
ringer left the game at the end of the
seventh and Sylvester Johnston held the
AS hitless for the last two.
Grove, hit harder than was expected,
coasted in after the big fourth inning,
although the Cards reached him for IL
hits, one more than the AS got off Der
ringer. They hit the big Lefty only
when hits did not means runs. however.
Pepper Martin led the Cards with
three-two singles and a double.

"A milo lndlctnent, IL IS true, but still an Indictment,
Is that returned against Valley shippers of grapefruit by
Fred c. Rogers of the Houston office of the u. S. bureau
OF foreign and domestic ommerce.
Charges made by Mr.. Rogers against Valley shippers
are TO the effect that they are not yet as conscious as they
should be of the necessity of developing foreign markets.
That justification should exist for such a charge is
surprising. We had held the opinion that our Valley ship
ping interests were making every possible effort to de-
veop new markets and were taking advantage Of every
possible bit Of assistance offered from every possible
source.
Department Of commerce officials state that on va
rlous and sundry occasions they have sent trade advices to
Valley shippers, advices received from foreign markets
telling of a demand for Texas grapefruit:
In very few instances have Valley shippers displayed
any interest in the development of the markets indicated
by such inquiries.
Undoubtedly there are good reasons for such lack Of
interest.
We all know that Valley shippers have had their
hands full tending to the immediate present of their
business. 1t is hard for a man who Is working day and
night to sell this seasons crop to become excited over a
possible market two or three years hence.
And yet, with a probable 5000 car crop coming on
the market within a few weeks and the prospect Of dou-
bic that crop the following year, it would seem time for
Valley shippers to bestir themselves about the markets
of the future as well as the markets Of the present.
At the present time Texas grapefruit would seem to
have the edge on its competitors abroad. Texas grape
fruit c1n keep that edge only by going after that foreign
market and playing it up in such a manner that when the
European becomes sold" on grapefruit as being an edible
necessity to his daily diet, he will demand Texas grape
fruit.
The average European, including the average resi-
dent of the British Isles, is a stranger to the succulent
delcacy which lies within the golden skin of the grape
fruit. When he does become aware of the tastiness Of
those luscious globules, he is sure to become a good Gus
toner, and that producing section which first gains him
as a customer will have gained a good customer. Your
average European makes a ceremony of eating and is an
Epicurean right.
The Valley is having its marketing troubles, but in
the midst of those troubles we must lose sight of the great
objective to be gained by creating a demand for our
product in a potential market of no mean proportions.
