That tie for fifth place left only two clubs in the league that sported more ragged play afield, and they were the two outfits that were the weakest sisters of the league, Houston and Beaumont. Houston finished seventh and Beaumont finished eighth, and that runs out the string. Jr. ft- You can't go any lower The Sports fielded at a .964 clip during the last campaign, compared to .969 in both 1947 and 1948.

The latter figure was good enough for a tie with Dal las in 1947 as the best in the league and last year it stamped the Sports as being the outstanding fielding club in the circuit. Ex-Byrd Ace Gets Three Touchdowns By HARRY TAYLOR Times Sportswriter Jimmy Harrison of Shreveport, leading the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs all the way, made the deciding score in the last 30 seconds of playing time to defeat the Northwestern State college Demons, 28-21, in their annual State Fair contest which was played yesterday afternoon on rain-soaked, wind-swept Fairgrounds stadium's turf. The Demons, paced by the nearly-flawless passing of Johnnie Emmons, who almost didn't make the trip to the game because of an ankle injury, came from two touchdowns behind to tie the score, 21-21, in the fourth quarter. A few minutes later the Demons saw Harrison, Tech big gun, cross the goal line with the winning touchdown with just seconds of playing time left in the game. Harrison, a former Byrd high school star, made three of the Tech touchdowns on running plays and passed to End Joe Strother for the other.

The Demon scores, made by James Beck, Bill Losev and Wil liam Calvert, all were the result of passes from the injured Emmons. Bobbie Davis, of Northwestern, and Ed Michael, of Tech, had perfect records in the game on their placement tries for the extra points. Yarbrough, ex-Bossier star, of the Bulldogs, intercepted a Demon pass on the Demon 25, but the Bulldogs STATISTICS: ARNOLD MATHEWS (33), Louisiana Tech back, and Jimmy Gilbert (48) (right), Tech end, break up a pass intended for an unidentified Northwestern State college receiver in the football game won by Tech, yesterday at Fairgrounds stadium.

Actually, George Scharem, of Dallas and Oklahoma City, has the best fielding average among shortstops, .969, he played the position in only 21 games, far too few to be considered as the leader.

Bill Serena of Dallas had the best mark among the third sackers who played over 100 games, .945.

EVEN IN THE OUTFIELD, the Sports were pretty weak defensively. In left field, the, duties were split up between five Shreveport gardernersi But Pete Lewis played the position in the most games, 75, coming up with a .964 That was well off the pace set by Fort Worth's Cal Abrams, who had an average of .984. Only Lewis Davis, of the many Sports who cavorted in center field, managed to play at least 100 games at that post, and he wound up with the lowest mark of any of the players in the loop who held forth in center for at least 100 games. In 103 contests, he chalked up a .976 average. However, there were only three players in the league who played at least 100 games in center field.

Worley added the point. Not long after that when Bolton was forced to punt the Jackets had the ball on their own 38, but not for long because Rachal trotted 62 yards down the field for the second tally and Worley was low on his trv for the point so the score was 13-0. Early In the, second quarter, after getting the ball on downs on their own nine, the Jackets threw some good blocks all down the field and Rachal raced 91 yards for a score. Wbrley's kick was good and the score added, up to 20-0. Shortly after- that the Jackets carried down to the Bear one and lost the ball on downs.

After Bolton punted out, Edgar Galloway passed 40 yards to Dicky Murray in the end zone for another touchdown. And Worley kicked low so the score was 26-0. Following the kickoff Savoy slipped loose and scampered 68 yards for the first Bear score. Schroll added the point.

By HARRY TAYLOR Sports Writer The Byrd Yellow Jackets got off to an early start last night in Bvrd stadium, pushed a first quarter score over on the Bolton Bears and kept pushing until the final score read 40-14. When all the dust had settled at the end of the game and noses were counted to see who had done all that scoring, it was found that fullback Dan Barr had accounted for two touchdowns, left halfback Willard Rachel, two, and left end Dickie Murray right half, Bennett Johnston, and right end Frank Green one each.

A few minutes later Emmons started a passing barrage from midfield and connected with Losey on a 24--ard aerial for the "third Demon score. And again Davis placement was good. Following the kickoff, Tech couldn't get rolling, with time running out on them, and punted to the Demons.

An Emmons pass was' Intercepted and Harrison started a passing attack of his own from the Demon 46. Finally, after working the ball down to the Demon seven on a series of passes in the closing few seconds, Harrison dropped back to pass, couldn't find a receiver open and ran around his right end for the final and deciding score. Michael kicked the extra point to make the score 28-21. The Demons took the kick-off and ran It out ot bounds and called time OUt to stop the clock. Emmons, on the last play of the game, at tempted a long pass to Calvert on the 46, which missed connecting by a few inches.

The Demons made an early threat in the first quarter but good kicking on the part of Gene Knecht and the inability to pick up the necessary yardage for a first down evened things up to the point where Tech could breathe a little easier. In the opening minutes of the second quarter Tech, led down field from their own 39 by Harri son, pushed their way down to the Demon 6. Harrison scatted arqund his right end for the first Bulldog score and Michael added the extra point. Later in the second quarter, starting from their own 49, the Bulldogs worked the ball down to the Demon five and lost the ball on downs. Beck fumbled and Tech's Derveloy recovered on the eight.

-Harrison passed eight yards to Strother in the end zone for the second Tech score and Michael again put the ball through the uprights for the extra point.

Bobbie Davis' kick for the point Mas good and the score at half-time was 14-7 In the third quarter, following a series of Demon plays, Harrison took a Demon punt on his 22 and was stopped in his tracks.

The Sports ranked second in club pitching and were one of the two clubs in the league that came up with an earned run average of less than four. The Fort Worth Cats led in the hurling department--as they did in every other category with a 3.25 ERA, but the Sports had a commendable 3.92. Gerald "Red" Fahr had the second best ERA in the league, an even two, chalked up on 18 games and 38 innings pitched, but among the regulars, Hank Wyse's 2.81 stood out as one of the best ERA's in the league. Andy Bush ranked behind Wyse with 3.07.

As for the hitting, the less said the better. There were 33 players in the league who batted .300 or better and two of them were Sports. One was Jack Hussey, who played in only 24 games and the other was Pitcher Warren Hacker, who wras recalled by the Chicago Cubs early in the season. players in the league who ranked second with a .971 events except football will go sale in December, Schaub said. on Sale of Rachley Hinges on Arm Cincinnati, Oct.
