Player Gets Best of Ump A baseballer’s dream finally came true—he got even with the umpire. It all happened in Madison- ville, Texas, when Bryan Beard, pitcher for the A&M softball team, came to bat. The pitcher tossed the first one over the plate— Beard connected with a long, high, out-of-the-park foul. After a several second float down, a tinkle of glass was heard. The ball went through the wind shield of the umpire’s car. Beard ran into more bad luck when he Was faced in the seventh by a man on first as a result of ah error The runner took second on a wild throw and went on to third the same way. He then came all the way home when the recov ery from the bad throw failed. This gave the Madisonville soft- bailers their only score of the game, but it was enough for them to win 1-0. Winning pitcher was B. J. Lloyd. NATIONAL LEAGUE No games scheduled. STANDINGS TODAY’S Pitchers Detroit at Washington (night). —Newhouser (2-2) vs. Consuegra (3-0).

In the Southwest Conference, as of now, this will bring a most ex haustive investigation. Not only will the officials look into it but they’ll have helpers. Being a “stool pigeon” was le galized by the faculty committee of the conference in its annual spring meeting here over the week end. Each of the seven member schools was admonished to report even the slightest rumor that any athlete is getting more thaii the conference laws allow. Howard Grubbs, conference ex ecutive secretary and chief police man, says it’s monotonous, these rumors. “Always, it’s a convertible,” he comments. “It couldn’t be any other kind of automobile. But I have yet to see one on a college campus. However, we want to in vestigate all such reports.” Not only will the conference offi cials make an investigation but if they find nothing to substantiate the rumor, the school in question will be asked to do what it can to track it down.
