AprU 15 Blasting a trio of hurlers for 21 hits, the Jackson Senators finished their road ex hibition schedule in a blaze of glory Saturday afternoon by downing the class-C Greenville Bucks 16 to 4 in Sportsman Pak.

Although the Bucks grabbed a 2-0 lead in the opening frame, the Senator bats came to life in the second stanza to knot the count, and from that point the Bucks were never in the game. Hitting stars for Jackson were rookie Julio Palazzalnl with five hits in five trips, including a double and a. base on balls; Banks McDowell, with four hits in six trips including two doubles, an inside-the-park homer, and five runs batted in; and shortstop Ed Zabek with three hits in six trips including a pair of triples and four runs chased in. After the Bucks took a 2-0 lead in the first frame on a walk, error, double and long fly, the Senators came back in their part of the second to knot the count- Joe Andrews and Banks McDowell led with singles, and both came around as Ed Zabek lived on an error and Roger McCardell hit a long fly to center. The Senators took a 5-2 lead in the third as JuUo Palazzini got his second hit of the game, a single to left, and Mel Nunes followed by doubUng to center.

Earl Bass was safe on a fielder's choice as Nunes went out at third, but here Mr. McDowell blasted a drive over the centerfielder's head and circled the bases for an inside-thc-park homer. George (Ruby) Yorke retired after three frames, having given up two hits, two runs, striking out two and walking a trio. He was replaced by Lynn Southworth, and Last Friday's track meet at Bailey Junior showed that the Tlfers will have some mighty good boys moving up to the varsity team before many months have passed Take for instance Mike Stanley, Enochs Junior high Mike, not satis-fled with running the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes, ran the anchor position on the 880 yard relay team He showed plenty In each one of the events and some more work will make him a top performer in the high school circles John Mallard, Bailey Junior high, looked mighty good In the low hurdles and looks like a future All-Rig Eight track man He showed perfect eane In going over the timbers In 16.2 seconds Billy Yelverton, Bailey, has the makings of an excellent field man as he won the discus and shot put events Claude Bruton, Central High's dash man, turned in some good times despite the chilly weather In the 100 yard dash, he toured the distance in 10 flat and had a' 22.6 in the 220 yard dash So, It looks pretty good for the Tigers in the next few years.

Bucks Dangerous Greenville, managed by Joe Rullo who piloted the Natchez Indians for the past two seasons, also has a creditable team and should make it Interesting for the Senators for full nine frames Sunday afternoon.

Although the Bucks have won only one game In four exhibitions to date, all of the tilts have been extremely close and their one victory was earned against a Class-A club, Muskegon, Michigan, of the Central League. Muskegon lost the first battle 7 to 4, but gained partial revenge by winning a return game 6 to 4. In two battles with the Clarksdale Planters, the Bucks lost 1-0 and 4-2 and in the latter game, the Planters got but one hit, that a triple with the bases loaded. Expecting more help to come from the Yanks, the Bucks have shown in games to date exceptional pitching, classy fielding, but a slight weakness at the plate. In keystoner-manager Rullo and shortstop Bobby Adams, Greenville has the best keystone combination in the Cotton States.

On the Buck roster and sure to see action in his old home town is Joe Kennedy, the Forest HIU boy who started the 1948 season with the Senators. Kennedy came to Greenville for a try-out, and is still in there pitching with the opening game just around the corner. Kennedy will probably alternate with Luclan Folkman at third base, while Charlie Weber is slated to open at first. In the outfield, Rullo will probably play Ray Johnston, Al Ellis and Don O'Dcll. Now holding the Job as first string catcher is Jack Maroney.

but likely to see action is Mike Cu-demo, sent to Greenville by the Yanks and Earl Kilpatrlck, a rookie and native of Belzoni. Presently slated to start on the hill for Greenville is Sam Atkisson, Arkansas boy, sent here by the Yanks. A big and husky boy, Atkisson is a righthander who can really burn the ball across the plate. Scores Chicago (N) Chicago (A) 1 New York (N) Cleveland 0 New (A) Brooklyn 4 St. Louis (A) St.
