Cadet Linkmen Off on Good Start
Marty Karow’s Aggie golfers
have gotten off to a better-than-
average start this year by win
ning all five conf. matches and
placing fourth at the Fort Worth
Fat Stock Show tourney with the
TCU Linkmen taking the honors.
However, the Cadets were playing
on an unfamiliar court and against
a strong wind.
The Farmer golfers copped a win
over TCU by a tally of 6-3 and an
other over SMU on the following
day with an identical score. The
biggest margin was in the win over
Baylor here on April 2 with a
score of 8-1.
Changes in the tentative sched
ule published earlier include can
celation of the Rice and University
of Houston matches on April 4 and
10 respectively, changing of the
Texas match from April 22 to
April 28 and the place from Austin
to here.
TCU succumbed a second time
to the deadly accuracy of “Ace”
Bryan, Bill Compton, Lawrence
Fouraker, and Co. here on April
11 and the North Texas Eagles
bowed 5-4 here Thursday.
Travis Bryan has been placing
the team in number one slot with
an impressive array of low scores,
topping the mark with a 68 in the
Frog match last Friday. Norman
Freeze who was number five man
on the team has dropped out but
despite this set-back, the Cadets
are still turning up winners.
The conference tournament is
staged in Waco this year on May
16 and 17.
Durocher Needed a Rest Anyway
When Baseball Commissioner
Happy Chandler suspended Leo
(Lippy) Durocher, manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers for one year, he
brought to a temporary end one
of the stormiest careers in pro
fessional baseball.
Ever since the beginning of his
pro days back in 1925, Durocher
has been embroiled in arguments,
Baseball Notes From
In response to another squabble:
—In the case of a strikeout the
catcher and not the pitcher gets
credit for the putout. The pitch
ers record shows the number he
fanned but the catcher gets the
P.O. in the box score. In case
where the catcher drops a third
strike and throws to first for the
out then he gets an assist and the
first baseman the putout but the
pitcher still gets credit for a strike
out in the summary.
But even that one has its
twists—“Two strikes on batter.
Next pitch is a low curve at
which batsman swings and mis
ses for a third strike. Ball
breaks into dirt and catcher is
unable to hold it, batter reach
ing first base. In such a case,
of course, the play is scored as
an error for the pitcher rather
than as a wild pitch. AND DO
court fines, and brawls and his re
cent trouble in Hollywood was just
another episode.
A quick tally of Lippy’s fines is
in the vicinity of $1,100 and with
an occasional five-day suspension
tossed in for good measure. A sec
ond-degree assault charge in 1945
capped his misadventures but this
ended in acquittal.
the Book
NOT CREDIT THE PITCHER
WITH A STRIKE OUT.”
Under other circumstances the
catcher can get an error on the
strike out by hitting the man go
ing down to first with his thrown
ball, or by letting the ball pass him
which he should have held. That
is an error and not a passed ball
but the pitcher gets the strike out.
Catchers are hard players to
give errors to, but one of the most
common ones they get is dropping
a foul fly. Regardless of whether
or not the man gets on or is out
the man dropping a foul fly he
should have held is charged with
an error right then for prolonging
the life of the batter.
It doesn’t happen often but when
a batter bunts the third strike foul
he is out right then but did you
know the pitcher gets a strikeout
and the catcher the putout ?

B Baseballers
Stage 5-4 Win
OverBearkats
by Don Engelking
The Aggie B baseball team
nipped the Sam Houston State
Teachers College nine Wed
nesday afternoon by a score
of 5-4 on Kyle Field for their fifth
win in six starts, the Bees having
previously lost to the Bearkats
on Kyle Field a week ago.
The Bearkats were the first
team to draw blood when in the
third inning they scored a run on
a hit by Carl Key, a walk, and
another bingle by D. H. “Cotton”
Watkins. In the fourth Sam Hous
ton scored another run on three
straight singles and a fielder’s
choice. In that inning the Aggies
put two men out at the plate.
In the Aggie half of the fifth
with the Bearkats leading 2-0 Bill
Echols walked and Bill Hilliard
singled to cause the Bearkats to
replace Ernest McCullar, their
starting pitcher, with Ken Wilson.
Wilson walked Southall and then
while pitching to Jack Watson he
pulled a balk, scoring Echols and
putting runners on second and
third. Watson then drove a fly
to short right which fell safely for
a single, but the runners fearing
that the ball would be caught stag-
ged up and did not advance. Wil
son then let fly a wild pitch on
which all runners advanced scor
ing Hilliard with the tying run.
Allen Garnar then drove a fly to
deep center, Southall scoring after
the catch and Watson going to
third. Watson then scored when
Don Clark reached first on an er
ror.
The Bearkats in their half of the
eighth tied the score on singles by
Frank Wolchik and Bosy Rosen-
feld followed by a triple to right
by Watkins.
With the score tied in the Aggie
half of the ninth, George Brown,
the Bee pitcher who had replaced
Houthall in the seventh, singled to
right. Watson followed with an
other singled and then Garner got
the third straight single of the
inning to score Brown and win the
ball game.
Jack Watson, the Bee shortstop,
paced the Aggies at the plate with
four singles in five times at bat,
while Watkins led the Bearkats
with a single and a triple in three
official trips. Billy Vaughn, who
pitched the ninth inning for the
visitors, was the losing pitcher;
Brown of the Aggies was the win
ning pitcher. Both teams were
fairly tight on defense. Z e k e
Strange of the Bees made a coup
le of beautiful catches in center,
while the Bearkats third base-
man, Watkins, handled nine chan
ces with only one error. The Ag
gies made only one error to four
for Sam Houston.
Back in the old days when ball
players had to double up on the
road, Rube Waddell’s bunkmate
had a clause put in the eccentric
lefty’s contract prohibiting his
eating animal crackers in bed.

A&M Fencers Beat
Galveston, Lose To
Tech in Dallas
In an Amateur Fencers League
and American fencing match held
in Dallas last Saturday, the A&M
team beat Galveston in foils and
lost to Texas Tech in the same
weapon.
Tech fielded two teams of five
men each. Their A team beat the
Aggies 3-2 while the B team
blanked A&M 5-0. The Tech boys,
who were coached by George Beak-
ley, a former Aggie, relied upon
aggresiveness to take easy wins
over their opponents. Aggie wins
were scored by Fulton Dye and
Tony Mistrol.
Galveston fielded only four men
and one team that forfeited them
one bout. The Farmers then got
two out of the remaining four
which gave them a win with a
score of 3-2. Fulton Dye and
Warren Dobertson figured in the
Aggie wins.
There were also epee and saber
matches at the meet but due to an
equipment shortage, A&M was un
able to field teams in these events.
Scheduled for this week-end is
a meet in Houston in which the
Aggies will fence with Dallas and
Houston fencing teams.
