V- EI It 4 The Austin Peay State, College cage forces took sound beating In their' Initial UK? of the 1949-50 sea son last night as the Thoroughbreds of Murray State College romped to an 87-46 win. The win, a waltz after the first 10 minutes, gave Murray State a season record of three wins and as many losses. The Governors seemed to be out of condition and their ball handling was definitely sub par.

Of course, alert guarding by the Thoroughbreds played a big part in making the tall handling look bad. A slow start by both teams held coring down during the early minutes of the game. During the first ten minutes the lead bounced back and forth and at the end of that time the Murray cagers were out front 10-8. Then in the next ten minutes while the Govs were upplng their point total 7 points to 15 the Thoroughbreds were adding on 30 points and left the floor at half time with a 40-15 advantage. During the first half the Govs sank only 3 of 28 field goal attempts, while, the Murray team was ramming 15 of 49 attempts through the hoop.

The Thoroughbreds took up where they left of -in the first half and continued to add up their points until at the game's end they held an 8J-46 lead. Mack Chandler, forward, paced the second half showing 7 with 11 points scored in the A flashy substitute, Mason Cope, paced the Murray scoring for the night with 17 points. Charles Snow tossed through 14 points to be second high man in the Murray lineup. Mack Chandler and James "Sox Bead" Stone each flipped 12 points through the hoop to pace the Govs In the scoring column.

This swap easily overshadowed three other big league trades, the most important, of which sent St. Louis second baseman Gerry Prld- dy to Detroit for $100,000. The Browns acquired Pitcher Lou Kretlow hr addition to the huge bundle of cash. Priddy's sale added more than $200,000 to the Browns' exchequer, since- late Tuesday-night the club collected in excess of $100,000 plus four players from the Philadelphia Athletics for star third baseman, Bob Dllllnger. In a couple of other deals the Athletics traded third baseman Hank Majeskl to the Chicago White Sox for relief pitcher Ed Klieman, and the St.

Louis Cardinals re-acquired outfielder Harry Walker in exchange for fly chaser Ron Nortny and utility lnfielder Lou Klein: The Cards are to get another, player, from the minors, at a future date. Lovers of power and punch are of the belief that the Braves got much the better of the big National League deal. They point out that in giving up Gordon and Marshall the Giants sent a pair of sluggers who hit 38 home runs between them in 1949 for a pair who collected only four. Gordon blasted 26 round trippers, Marshall 12, Dark three and Stanky one. Kerr had none.

Advocates of the fastJlelding, heady hit-and-run type of athlete think the Giants got the edge. They point out that despite the 169 home runs hit by the Gordon-Marshall duo during their five years with the club the Giants could finish no higher than third. Three times they finished in the second division. On the other band, the Braves won a pennant and finished fourth In the last two years that Stanky and Dark played with them. Actually the deal appears certain to help both clubs.

Each unloaded a pair of unwanted Athletes. The only reluctance involved was Giant manager Leo Duro-cher's surrender of Gordon, Dark and Stanky were ringleaders of the anti-Southworth clique that voted manager Billy South-worth a half-share of Boston's fourth place world series money last October.

He said the day he took over the club that the hard-hitting rlghtfielder and classy fielding shortstop were not his type of ball players. Hai 80th Birthday.
