one of his horses to the trick of
percentages yesterday evening
when Benny McElroy received a
greenstick fracture in a scrim-

Benny McElroy, versatile
lightweight quarterback, was

Braves Increase Lead
As NL Runnersup Lose
NEW YORK. Sept. 14, (UP)
Idleness may be the devil's
workshop but you couldn't prove
it today to the pace- setting
Braves or Red Sox. both of
whom loafed while the contend-
ing Indians and Pirates suffer-
ed setbacks yesterday.
The Braves increased
their first place margin in
the National League t«
games when the second
place Pirates took it on the
chin against the up-and-
coming (liaiits, 5 to 2, at
New York last night.
Lefty Montia Kennedy, who
has plenty of live steam in his
fast ball, was the master all the
way in topping the Hues and
ending their winning streak fit
seven games, their longest of
the season. Kennedy, who scat-
tered nine hits, scored his third
victory. He was most effective
with runners on the bases,
stranding 10 of them.
Willard Marshall's two run
single was the big blow in the
rally. Dixie Walker boosted his
average over the .300 mark to
.304 with two singles in a los-
ing cause. He is the only Pirate
above .300.
The third place Indians drop-
ped to three games behind the
leading Rerl Sox when the

Browns upset them, 3 to 2, at
Cleveland in a game that was
marred by the critical injury to
Indian pitcher Don Black.
The Browns rallied late to
snap a seven game Cleveland
winning streak. A two run single
by Dick Kokos tied the score
in the eighth after Black and
Bob Muncrief held the Browns
scoreless for seven innings. In
the ninth a single by Paul
Lehner, a two base wild throw
by Sam Zoldak and a single by
pinch-hitter .loe Schultz put
over the winning run. Joe Gor-
don hit his 26th homer for the
losers.
The Dodgers gained a most
satisfying victory over the Cubs,
beating their number one neme-
sis, Lefty Johnny Schmitz, 6 to
I. by rallying late, getting all
of their runs in the sixth and
seventh innings.
Rex Barney, making his first
start since his no-hitter of last
Friday, gave up nine hits to
score his 14th victory.
There were no other major
league games scheduled.

At Dal-Hi Stadium
Wednesday Evening
DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 14 (UP)
Final practice sessions were
on lap for both the Los Angeles
Rams and Philadelphia Eagles
today as they tapered off for
their charity exhibition game at
Dal-Hi stadium here tomorrow
night.
The Rams will be at full
strength. Coach Claitk Shaugh-
nessy said, but the Eagles will
be minus the services of their
running ace, Steve Van Buren,
who pulled a charley horse in
his leg in the game against the
Chicago Cardinals Saturday
night.
Tom fears, the UCLA gradu-
ate. was expected to be the only
rookie breaking into the Ram
starting backfield, while Coach
Earle Neale said he would start
an all-veteran eleven.

feature is passing. Wednesday
the final day of intensive train-
ing for the week the Mustangs

With new reports brought in
by the team scout Mel Grigg.
Coacher Pat is working on pos-
sible defense formations and of-
fensive attacks against the
teams we are to meet in the
near future.
MUSTANG OPEN DATE
With an open date this week
the Sweetwater Mustangs will
prep for the homecoming
Brownwood meeting September
24. Brownwood is resting atop a
32 to 0 win over the lowly Big
Spring Steers. This week the
Brownwood eleven will meet, the
Kerrville squad. Kerrville is
rated in t he second position from
the top for schoolboy honors in
Texas.
The outcome of this weeks
contests will answer not only a
few local questions but will give
the state standings a little firm-
er stand. Odessa remains in
third place under Port Arthur
and Kerrville.
A question making the rounds
of state football circles is one
pertaining to the Odessa-Lub-
bock seven to seven deadlock
last week. Was Odessa overrated
or Lubbock underrated, that is
the question. Time will tell.
The Abilene Eagles supposed
to be weak and inexperienced
either slipped by the Brecken-
ridge eleven or have a bit of un-
reported talent in the back end
of the bird cage. The Eagles slat-
ed to end in the bottom four by
the sports-scribe looks a little
better than that from Sweetwa-
ter. Again time will tell. Abilene
is due.
MIDLAND—4TH QUARTER
TEAM
Midland proved to have a
powerful team that plays strong-
er in the second half than the
first. Ysleta was leading the
Bulldogs at half time by a
score of 13 to 0. In the third
period the Midlanites scored
once, and countered twice in the
last quarter to pull irito the lead
21 to 20. Midland dedicated their
new stadium last Friday night.
San Angelo looked good on the
ground and in the air but was
outscored 25-6 by the Denison
Yellowjackets.
Lamesa topped the powerful
Class A Levelland Loboes 7-0.
Lamesa is competing with Big
Spring for the last spot in 3A^.

Burglars Steal List
Of Unpaid Accounts
HOUSTON, Sept. 11. (UP) —
It's hard to believe in honesty
after losing several hundred dol-
lars to thieves, but Grocer M.
O. Stubbs faced that necessity.
Energetic burglars removed a
safe from his establishment last
night. In addition to taking some
$200 or $300 in cash, they made
off with account books listing
$2,500 in unpaid bills.
"I'm sure most of our patrons
will pay the correct amount of
• heir bills," Stubbs said hopeful-
ly.
