Tyler Nine Defeats Quarterfinals
Sports; 4-3 and 9-5
Vu Bi'y an - Col lege Sports drop- the Sports at the plate in the arc _______ J
ped both games of a July 4 double-
header yesterday, bowing to the
Tyler Trojans in Trojan Park.
Tyler won the first game, 4-3,
and took the nightcap, 9-5, to hand
the hapless Sports their eighth
and ninth straight defeats.
Duff McClish was the opening
Sports’ hurler, and he entered the
last inning with a 3-2 lead. But
Darwin Dobbs, his mound adver
sary, started the Tyler rally with
a double after one man was re
tired.
A single by Chet Studdard, a
former Sport, and a double by Ken
Funk produced the tying run. Then
Bob Kindred took the mound for
Bryan, and after Studdard advan
ced to third on an infield out, the
lefthander overshot Joe Niedson
behind the plate.
This allowed Studdard to immp
home from third with the tie
breaker, as far as Bryan was con
cerned.
Recently-appointed Manager Joe
Niedson clouted two home runs to
keep his team in the lead until the
seventh. The homers, hit consecu
tively, were registered in the sec
ond and fourth innings.
Again the Sports held the open
ing lead in the second game. They
controlled the game for four and
one-half frames. Loose defensive
play was the main reason why
Tyler took the ball game.
Although the Sports out-hit Ty
ler, 12 to 10, the losers committed
six errors afield to the victors one.
Clyde Liedkc went the distance for
Bryan-Collcge.
First-sacker John Joslin paced
All-Around Footballer
New York—CP)—Gene Martin,
New York Yanks’ rookie end from
Stanford, should fit into Coach
Red Strader’s plans somewhere or
other. He played both halfbacks,
fullback and tackle (on extra point
attempts) in the California game
of 1946, played end in 1948.

Mangrura Wins
Motor City
Golf Tourney
Detroit, July 5—(AP) —
Dapper Lloyd Mangrum, who
had to settle for a co-champ
ionship in the 1949 Motor City
Open, came from behind yes
terday on the last nine holes to
edge out Sammy Snead and win
the 1950 tournament with a 274.
The chainsmoking Mangrum was
three strokes down to Snead go
ing into the final nine and most
of the gallery of 10,000 figured
Snead, No. 1 money winner of pro
golf this year, was going to pocket
the $2,600 first prize money.
But Mangrum rallied with a
courageous back nine, racking up
a pair of birdies in those final
holes to finish with a 36-34—70.
Then he had to sit by and watch
Snead’s vain efforts to edge the
Chicagoan out.
Snead had a 33-three under par—
going out but two bogies on the
final nine boosted him to a 38-71—
275, one sti’oke Mangrum.
Snead gave the big gallery a
real floging thrill on the 18tli on
which he needed a birdie four for
a tie. His second shot just missed
a trap but he chipped up beauti
fully to within four feet of the
pin. He flubbed that short putt,
however, and had to settle for par
and second money of $1,900.
Three Way Tie
Mangrum, Snead and Fred Haas,
Jr., of Claremont, Calif., were in
a three-way tie at 204 going into
yesterday’s competition but Haas
had troubles and carded a 74 for
278. The former Louisiana State
star’s worst moments came on the
final hole as he dubbed two wood
shots and then drove over the
green to settle for a seven a double
bogie.
Jim Ferrier, the big San Fran
ciscan, grabbed off third place
money of $1,400 as he duplicated
yesterday’s 70 for a 276 total.
CS Legion Nine
Smashes Caldwell
Joe Motheral hurled the College
Station American Legion Junior
baseball team to its Second victory
of the season as the local nine
thoroughly smashed the Caldwell
nine, 16-1, in Caldwell yesterday.
In a previous game between the
two teams the Caldwell Juniors
were victorious, 6-3, but the tables
were turned yesterday as Coach O.
V. Chafin’s crew went on to score
the largest number of runs scored
in the District this season.
Up until the top of the fourth
frame, it looked like anyone’s game.
But in the fourth, the hoineteam
broke through with five runs and
added six more in the next inning
to clinch the victory.
Caldwell’s three pitchers gave up
a total of 12 hits while Motheral
held the losers to only three bing-
les.
Robinson, Kell Lead Hitters
New York, July 5—CP)—Jackie
Robinson continues to set a blaz
ing pace in the National League
with his .378 average giving him a
28-point edge over runnerup Stan
Musial of St. Louis.
The Dodger second baseman,
league batting champ in 1949, is
crowding the 100 mark with 93
hits in 246 trips to the plate. .
While Robinson added nine
points to his average including
Sunday’s games, Musial lost one
point during the week, falling to
.350. The rest are far behind.
Robinson leads three depart
ments—batting, total hits, 93, and
doubles, 26.

Hank Sauer of Chicago divide the
slugging honors. Kiner is first
