Texas Tops Nation
With 47 Ball Clubs
Dallas, March 14——Texas
will be the national leader in pro
fessional baseball this year.
- The baseball set-up was com-
pleted Monday to give the state 47
Clubs in eight leagues and take
away the leadership North Carolina
has boasted all these years.
The last step came when M. L.
Wilkison, owner of the Lubbock
Club pf the West Texas-New Mex
ico League, bought the baseball
holdings of Donna arid was grant
ed a franchise in the Rio Grange
’Valley League. That rounded out
the Valley League to eight clubs.
North Carolina has 45 clubs. It
had appeared Texas would have no
more than a tie for the lead since
the Rio Grande Valley League
probably would have to cut to six
clubs if it could not gain an
eighth.
Leagues this, year which have
Texas Clubs are:
Texas—5, Gulf C«ast^-4,' Rio
Grande Valley—8, Big State—8,
East Texas—8, West Texas-New

Fort Worth in the Big City finals,
40-41.
This year the Buffs put a well-
balanced and hustling team on the
coprts rind upset favored Crozier
Tech which had advanced the hard
way by knocking off pre-meet friv-
orite Sam Houston of the Bayou
City, 31-30, in the semi-finals.
Milby advanced into the final
round with a victory over Adam
son of Dallas, 62-30. ;In play for
the third position in the tourney,
Sam Houston’s Tigers dropped the
Leopards from Dailas, 51-39.
In the first round games Friday,
Houston and Dallas dominated play
as the representatives of the two
cities eliminated all the oppos
ing San Antonio and Fort Worth
teams. i i . ?
