THE EXCHANGE STORE ‘SERVING TEXAS AGGIES” Baseball Tourney In Austin June 6-7 By HAROLD Y. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer The last shots of the sports year in Texas high schools will be fired at Austin June 6-7 with the annual baseball tournament. Baseball is the weakest of Texas Interscholastic League major- sports. There are only 660 schools playing the game. The state tournament doesn’t draw too well. Even with baseball hot Seguin, which is close to Austin, in the tournament last year the three- day affair had only about 5,500 attendance. Compared to this is over 50,000 for the state basketball tourna ment, 20,000 for the state track meet and 30,000 or more for the state football championship games. When there was only one or two divisions in football the final games reached as high as 47,000. Short Season What is the solution for base ball ? Some of the schools think it would come if the season was continued into the summer, say through June. Baseball has a very short season. ’ It begins in mid- April and runs only about six weeks. It can’t be started any earlier because of the weather sit uation and it can’t be run any longer because school is out. Advocates of summer baseball says its advantages are that the students will suffer no loss of school time, that final examina tions and graduation are out of the way and that baseball contin ued into the summer will mean no interference with or from track and spring football. Opponents bring up the question of the coach’s pay for working in the summer, that summer baseball will interfere with vacations and will keep the boys from jobs dur ing the summer. Some of the schools, however, run for 11 months out of the year and pay salaries for that time, so the coach’s pay would not be a problem. A month’s pay for a coach wouldn’t sound like much for the other schools bpt three or four hundred dollars means plenty to some. It would appear that summer baseball for the schoolboys would prevent trouble with the Inter scholastic League’s amateur rule. This rule forbids a boy from play ing on a team with any paid play er, says he must not receive ex pense money for travel, meals or lodging but that the expense mon ey must be handled in the same way that the high school coach would handle the funds. He can not accept money from the gate receipts; even a collection taken up for his hitting a home run or doing something outstanding can not be accepted. Big Blocks There are some big blocks in the way of summer baseball for the high schools but that does see to be about the only thing that might put this fine sport on a strong basis. The games should draw good attendance, especially if played at night, and it seems reasonable that more schools might participate if it should be extended into the summer. Each American League team will make three trips to Loa km les this season to play the Angel.!, one of two new teams in the cir. cuit. ■ n rrri rrrrrmrntnr ‘Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service *“We Service All Foreign Cars” 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517 BOOKS BOOKS SHAFFERS \VE BUY BOOKS WE SELL BOOKS WE TRADE BOOKS Sh AFFERS BOOK STORE WE BUY BOOKS WE SELL BOOKS WE TRADE BOOKS SHAFFER’S BOOKS BOOKS 4 THIS ONE’S THE SATISFIER Make a date-with flavor.
