ted that John Robertson, ace Steer
broad jumper and sprinter, will
not be entered in any event tomor
row because of a pulled muscle in
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.

Steer camp, however, with Don

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

final cutdowns will be made all
along the line from Brooklyn to
Montreal, to St. Paul to Hollywood
to Fort Worth and through/ 21
other teams of the system.; Only
then will it be established who Is

Trial replacements already are

Preton Ward, first basemari who

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

The pitching will be from good to

Now it appears that Bragan will

who had good records in; lower
company last season- All of, them
look promising and fellows like Joe
Landrum, Wayne Johnson, i Mike

as Carl Erskine did last year when
he came up from the three-1 lea

Ag^ie Netters To
Meet Frogs, Here
A&M’s tennis team will meet
the Horned Frogs of TCU in the
second conference tennis match for
the Aggies this year. The matches
wifi take place here, Saturday on
the day courts.

Rodney Sclluiv James Wallis,
Price Metcalfe', and Allan Auron-

team. This is the same team that
defeated the Mustangs from SMU

In last year’s kpnforenco play
TCU and the AggieMplit the meet
to tic with three matches apiece.
This year the Frogs arv supposedly
stronger especially with the addi
tion of Dixie Onbum to the team.
The mutches which begin at ten
o’clock will be very close - and
should prove to be of interest, to
everyone.

Parker if he runs must be made
the favorite ip the 100 and the 220,
and his presence should mean a

Likewise Robertson would have
been top heavy choice for the

Orangemen in the sprints and the

Now the first place winners for

Sarimels In the century, Walters In

either Guess or Mnrak in th* jave
