TEN THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL Vf, 1949. SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS RANK HIGH IN TEXAS LEAGUE STANDINGS Eagles Get Their Revenge On Tulsa For Monday Game Alamo City Team Not Far Behind Dallas Pacesetters By The Associated Press The Texas league's concern over the high-flying Dallas Eagles has left a lot of clubs unconcerned about the San Antonio Missions. A bad error. The Missions were rained out last night, but get two chances at the Beaumont Exporters tonight. They're only two games ba of pace-setting Dallas and have been winning regularly without fanfare.

Dallas held its two-game lead over San Antonio by slugging the Tulsa Oilers, 12-5. last night. It was some measure of revenge against the club that Monday spoiled a perfect record. Shreveport grabbed third place In the standings by downing Houston, 4-2, and Fort Worth won a 4-3. ten-inning victory from Oklahomr City.

The same opponents meet again tonight. Buck Frierson's two home runs paced a 15 hit Dallas attack against three Tulsa pitchers. Tommy Finger and Otho Nltcho- las held Tulsa to six hits. Relief pitcher Vic Johnson's wildness gave Fort Worth Its slim victory. He walked three men and then served Al Leap a pitch that was turned into a game winning Bingle.

Borger Gains Top Spot In League With 13-7 Victory By The Associated Fress Borger sat atop the West Texas- New Mexico league standings today, but It was not a very comfortable perch. Amarillo and Albuquerque are just a half-game back of the Gaa- sers and Pampa and Lamesa trail by only a single game. The rest of the league is close enough to figure better days are ahead. Borger last night jumped on Lamesa, 13-7, wrlle Albuquerque had an easy time thumping Pampa, 170, and Clovis stomped Lubboek, 111. Amarillo went ten innings before downing Abilene, 5-4.

Postponed Baseball Games Causing Tiger Mentor Considerable Concern The Corslcana Tigers had one more postponed baseball game on their agenda Wednesday, and troubles were mounting. The scheduled Corslcana-Waco baseball game could not be played here Tuesday because of wet grounds, and that made three district games that the Tigers have postponed. To make It worse, the Bengals have not had a game since April days ago, and Coach Boyd Payne is getting anxious for a tilt to keep his league-leading club In playing trim.

He was slated to take the Tigers to Dallas this afternoon for the game Ith the Jesuit Bangers, one of tbe hottest things in Texas high school baseball this year. The game Is set for 3:30 at either Eagle Stadium or Rever- chron Fark, whichever site Is most available. Meantime, Coach Boyd Payne was having trouble Wednesday arranging the postponement date of the Oorslcana-Waco meeting. Bill To Regulate Seining Provokes Much Controversy AUSTIN, April bill to eliminate drag net selnng and allow only the use of gill nets In Laguna Madre waters in Cameron county provoked sharp controver. sy bctwen witnesses at a house committee meeting last night.

No action was taken by the committee at the end of the two and one-half hour hearing aa a quorum was not present. The group recessed subject to call of the chair. Backers of the bill by Rep. Menton Murray of Harlingen said it would help to conserve fish. They charged that commercial fishermen are responsible for the seining of thousands of little fish onto beaches where they are left to die and rot.

Organized commercial fishermen denied they are responsible, and commttee members Miller Walker of Beaumont "It's these sport fishermen who go out there with seines and pull all kind of fish up on the beach and leave them there." One commercial fisherman and a farmer who formerly followed that profession spoke In favor of the bill. Buck Haney of Port Isabel said he thought the gill nets would keep "aliens" from working on fishing crews because "I don't think any of them know how to use them." This bill embodies what a big majority at Valley residents would like to have done," Cedric Wood of Donna, president of the Rio Grande Valley Sportsman Club, said. R. S.

Payne wants to play the game at an earlier date to give his boys a breathing spell between the end of district play and the playoffs. Nothing had been agreed on Wednesday morning. The question was to be worked out in a telephone conversation with Waco officials I Wednesday. R.

A. Armistead, chairman of the district commltttj, Indicated that he opposed the May 17 date because of the fact that final exams for seniors he get under way on that date, and because league rules specify that district play be completed before that date.
