ted that John Robertson, ace Steer
broad jumper and sprinter, will
not be entered in any event tomor

curred last week in the Texas Re
lays.
v There is also a possibility, the
Austin source reported.! that Flyin’
Charley Parker, the iop Orange
sprinter, may not be used because
of a still unhealed injury which
was caused by the poorly condi
tioned track in the Fort Worth
meet two weeks ago.
Otherwise the strong U. T. com
bine will be set for the contest
and a fine duel is in prospect The
loss of both Robertson and Parker,
however, should enable the Cadets
to win handily. If either competes
though, the big end of the score
could easily go to Texas.

FORT WORTH April 8 ^liD—
The Fort Worth Panth^s;, who
are more widely and less favorably
known in Texas Baseball League
circles as rough and rojvdy cats,
will finish the 1949 season idjth^v
first division._jf you want a
poor, but 1 honest, ^opinion of un
equal character.
That forecast in itself has no
better than a 50 percent chance to
stand up, but it is the surest thing
that can be said for the last year
champions (Straightway and play
off) who will again be under the
leadership of Catcher-Manager Bob
by Bragan.
At this writing, it looks as if
the ’49 Cats will surely have, 1 in
addition to Bragan, five holdovers
from ’48: pitcher Chris Van Cuyk,
First Baseman Dee Fondy; Second
Bascm&n and Shortstop Wally Fi-
ala; Third Baseman Johnny, Le
Gros and Outfielder Dick Williams.
There could be more. Shortstop
Jack!Lindsey is still o^i the roster,
but will be nursing a cracked ankls
bone (suffered in training at Vero
Bench, Fla., March (5) for an
other few weeks. Catcher Merv
Dornburg, pitchers Hob Austin,
Eddit Chandler and George Dock-
ins; outfielder* George Schmeex
and Irv Noreri arc stilt in the par
ent Rnrttklyn .Dodger chain and
subject to reshuffle to the; Cuts

then will it be established who Is

Gale Wade, Walter Sessi and
Sam Diblasi are others who may
fit into the grass patrol. Wade is
a hell-for-leather big young fel
low up from Class D. Sessi is an
old warhorse (235 pounds) who can
hit the ball to the far' right comer.
Diblasi, who played third for Hou
ston most of last year, has been
showing good form as a flychaser.
The Cats will have great team

look promising and fellows like Joe

Ag^ie Netters To
