Cats Back Near
Top With Dockins
Furnishing Fire
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
One robin doesn’t make a*spring
and three ball games don’t make a
manager—but that’s a good start.
George Dockins, who took over
as skipper at Fort Worth when
Les Burge was fired, is batting
1.000 in, the manegerial ranks and
the Cats ar|e dgein knocking lustily
at first plate in the Texas Leaguu.
Dockins has been headman of
the CuIm (or three nights and no
one could ask bettor results—
three victories. Last night Fort
Worth beat Shreveport 4-2 to
advance within a game of the
top.
Houstopi took over the lead 'Dter
being, out bf it for two nights as
the Buffs trimmed Tulsa 13-3. It
dropped Tdlsa to second place, just
five percentage points ahead of
Fort Worth.
Sap Antonio dbwned Oklahoma
City 3-0 to cling! to fourth plaCe
while Dallas remained a half-game
back edging Shreveport 2-rl.
Chris Van Cuyk unhmbered a
three-hitter as Fort Worth won its
fourth, straight victory. The big
left-hander allowed only one ball
out of the infiekl. That was Jadk
Richards’ hit that figured in scor
ing Beaumont runs.
Houston got seven runs in the
first two inidngs and TuLsa never
had a chance. IToyd Boyer gave
only eight h'ts and fanned 11.
George Arch-'e parked one in the
tlrrd inning with a runner on base
to give san Antonio its victory over
Oklahoma City. The Missions also
got an unearned run in the nmth
Dallas rallied in the ninth to
shove across two runs in the defea*
of Beaumont. Quentin AltiZer
limited the Exporters to four hit.«
