Jimmy Parker Leads All-Stars to Battle With Bryan
Summer Sports
-With Mike Haikin-
Battle For Second Place is Main Issue of
Race Today; Seaboard Life Scares Cleaners
Well, here it is, the home stretch
in the Twilight League with the
champion due to he decided this
week in a playoff between the
first two teams. The Campus Clean
ers are virtually assured of first
place unless they pull the same
stunt they did last Wednesday.
However, the battle is on for sec
ond place, with the Aggie Cleaners,
Campus Theater, and the Aggie-
land Pharmacy doing all the scrap
ping. At this writing the Theater
boys are hanging on to second
place with a defeat by Campus
cleaners marring their record,
while the Aggie Cleaners and the
Aggieland Pharmacy lodged in
third place with two defeats apiece.
Speaking of last week’s games,
Tommy Burnam’s Seaboard Life
almost pulled a David-Goliath stunt
against the Campus Cleaners when
they came within two runs of de
feating Wayne Todd’s polished
team. For six innings, Seaboard
Life outshone the Cleaners in ev
ery department, but the strain was
too much for them in the next
inning, with the result being that
the infield loosened up and let in
two unearned runs. Bill Wilson, the
Life’s hurler, pitched the game of
his life, allowing the Cleaners but
five blows. Only one run was earn
ed off his delivery.
Bryan-Aggie All-Star Game Today Should
Be Rousing Battle; Bryanites Are Favored
The Bryan All-Stars play host
to the Aggie All-Stars tonight in
a doubleheader, with the first game
due to start at 8 o’clock. The Bryan
diamondeers are composed of play
ers from the Commercial League,
while the Aggie team is made up
of softballers from the Twilight
League teams. Rudy Rutherford
will probably toe te slab in the
first game and if he’s right, the
Bryanites wil be in for a night of
misery. However, the Bryan All-
Stars will be slight favorites to cop
both tilts because of their organi
zation and vast experience. Stretch
ing our neck far on the not-so-solid
limb, this corner sees a split, with
the first game to go to the Aggies,
and the second one to go to the
Bryanites. Whichever way the
games go, however, the tilts should
be hard fought and close, and of
interest to everyone.
Spirit and Memory of Lou Gehrig Spurts
New York Yanks to Great Heights and Glory
The far-reaching cry of “Stop
the Yankees,” of a year or so ago
is re-echoing again as Joe DeMag-
gio and his mates are setting the
American League afire. Not so long
ago the mighty Yanks were se
curely lodged in fourth place and
were about to be chased out of the

first division. Then came the tragic
death of Lou Gehrig, their former
first baseman. Everyone thought
the Yanks would fold up for sure,
but instead of that they came out
of their doldrums to blast every
thing in front of them and today
are some 4 games ahead of the
second-place Cleveland Indians.
Yes, the jolting DiMaggio has set
records, the pitching staff has come
through with flying colors, the com
bination of Priddy and Rizzuto has
been magnificent, but the real pace
setter has been Lou Gehrig, whose
spirit and memory seems to have
spurted the Yankees on to glory
and fame. It’s a hard and rocky
road to the penant still, but should
the Yanks come through, it’ll be
for ole Lou Gehrig, the beloved
Yankee!

for the Theater boys as to the out
come of the series. Their slugging
has been consistent all year, and
if they come through as expected,
the Cleaners will be in for some
misery. As for the pitching staff,
Manager Frank LeBus has B. J.
Lloyd, ace speedballer, and Hal
Gibson, consistent righthander, to
throw at the Cleaners. Gibson has
pitched most of the games for the
Theater because of an injury to
Lloyd, and has done yoeman ser
vice. Lloyd returned back to action
last Monday with a splendid relief
job against the Aggie Cleaners,
whom he subdued, 9 to 4.
No-Hitter For Rudy
Meanwhile ,the Twilight League
came to an end last Monday. In
the final games, the Campus Thea
ter defeated the Aggie Cleaners,
9 to 4; the Aggieland Pharmacy
found the Seaboard Life easy com
petition as they set ’em down, 8 to
1; the Rivet Busters let loose a
barrage of hits to mow down the
Lipscomb Pharmacy, 10 to 3; and
Rudy Rutherford’s no-hit perform
ance was too much for the North
Gate Project House as the Campus
Cleaners triumphed, 13 to 0.
Seaboard Scares Cleaners
For the first time this year, the
Campus Cleaners had to come back
from behind to win a game. The
Seaboard Life softball team proved
a hard nut to crack last Wednes
day, but finally wilted in the clos
ing frames. Bill Wilson’s pitching
performance for the Seaboard Life
Team went for naught as his mates
became as jittery as a future fath
er. Maxie Bloodworth started the
game for the Cleaners, but finally
gave way to Rutherford in the
closing innings.
It is estimated that the increase
in the government rate of com
modity loans to 85 percent of par
ity this year will add about $224,-
000,000 to the income of producers
of cotton and about the same
amount to wheat growers.

third of the national area, exceed

If it’s Swimming You Want,
You’ll Get Lots Of It Friday
By A1 Krezdorn
Friday night at 7:30 summer
school students and the natives of
College Station will witness and
take part in the second annual
summer school swimming meet at
the P. L. Downs Natatorium.
According to Luke Harrison,
summer athletic program director,
and Art Adamson, Aggie swim
ming coach, this should be one of
the most successful of all the sum
mer athletic events because the
pool has been packed ever since it
opened this summer.
Adamson is to have charge of
this meet, and anyone interested in
entering should register at his of
fice at the swimming pool.
Due to the experience received
in past years Coach Adamson has
decided to have both a men’s and
a woman’s division. In each divis
ion there will be a junior class
comprised of all entrants 12 years
of age or under; an intermediate
class of all those between the ages
of 12 and 15 and a senior class for
all those 15 years of age or over.
In each class, participants may
enter in any or all of three events
.which are as follows: free style,
back stroke, and diving. The div-

Monty Moncrief and Rudy Ruth-.,
erford will be Manager Jimmy
Parker’s choice to face the Bryan
All-Stars in a doubleheader at
Bryan tonight. They will probably
be opposed by Crenshaw, Coca
Cola hurler, and Roger Bond of
Western Auto or Norman Stuart,
Bryan Cafe twirler. Game time will
2 at 8 o’clock.
A doubleheader instead of a sin-
le game was scheduled in order
that each team may get to use its
own rules in which tight bases are
played, while on the sandlots of
this campus loose bases are prom
inent. Six Campus and Aggie
Cleaners comprise the nucleus of
the A. & M. team. Voted on by the
managers of the various teams,
the squad is represented by every
team but the North Gate P. H. and
Lipscomb Pharmacy, and is due to
give the Bryan boys a close contest.
The squad is made up of two
teams, each about the equal of
the other. After the completion of
the first game an entirely new
team will face each other.
Hitting power and pitching skill
make up an Aggie All-Star team
a definite threat in its game
against Bryan. Rudy Rutherford,
holder of two no-hit, no-run games
this season, will probably pitch the
second game, with Monty Mon
crief, ace hurler of the Aggieland
Pharmacy due to start the first
tilt. Should he get in trouble, his
teammate and twirler, Lawler, will
be on hand.
Chick Fuller, Campus Cleaners’
third baseman, Slats Holder, Aggie
Cleaner’s first sacker, and Bill
Wilson, centerfielder from Sea
board Life should add plenty of
power to the first team. Seaboard
Life’s Bill Moore and Aggieland
Pharmacy’s Jimmy Cashion should
do likewise for the second team.
