14 Texas Thursday, April 22, 1954 ON SECOND THOUGHT Bj DAVE CAMPBELL Xens-Tribiine Sports Editor Tuesday night was a hard night for the umpires of the Big State League, with Temple officially protesting a decision and Jack Paepke had. The decision which drew Paepke's wrath (and one for which he was ousted from the game) occurred in the last of ninth in the contest between Waco and Austin. Waco was leading, 3-2, with two men out and an Austin runner on third. Austin guy on third tried to steal home," said Paepke upon his return to Waco Wednesday, had already tried that once before. in the game and we had thrown without liability of being put him out.

But you can't convince me that the umpire The Temple argument occurred in the first of the fifth with the is supposed to put that batter on visiting Tyler Tigers at hat, and first base in such a Temple training by one run. Immediately after the decision, man The rule book has this to say ager Fred Martin entered an of about such a plav. runner, ficial protest upon which Greenr OTHER THAN THE BATTER, will have to rule.

Umpires Differ in Temple Clash Here is how the Temple Telegram described the disputed play: James. Tyler left fielder, popped up in the miield. The ball fell in fair territory by about six feet between home plate and first base. the first bound it went foul. Umpire Harry Reeder called the ball fair by time it hit the ground the first time, and then base umpire Ziggy Sears Jr.

called it foul. James later was called safe at first or. an infield hit and Martin entered his The rule for that situation is No. 2.23. which states: fair ball is a legally batted ball that settles on fa.r grounds between home and first base or that is on or over fair territory when bounding to the outfield past first or third base If loop chief Green should uphold Martin protest, the game would have to replayed from the point of the dispute.

Tyler went on to win the Tuesday night game. 7-3. Although nettled at losing the Austin game. Paepke still is high- ly satisfied with the play of his oungsters. Kildoo pitched a whale of a game against Austin, and he have his best stuff either.

Paepke is in good position to judge, because he had Kildoo on his staff at Brunswick. last It was windy and cold and his curve wasn't real good. When he gets in shape, have the best curve ball in this Paepke declared his team is hustling and the pitching is getting better. He thinks he will have the best pitching in the league before through. Right now he has started a four-man rotation of Roger Sawyer, Ramon Salgado.

Ronald Sheeti and Kildoo. Myron Hoff- I man will be mixed in there often. That leaves hurlers Robert Swanson. Jesse Leach, Pete Furbondo and Art Burkle for the double headers and relief jobs. Paepke thinks Burkle in particular will make a good reliefer.

Several of the Waco hurlers probably will be sent out in order that they may get regular work. Pittsburgh wants none of its voungsters wasting time on the bench. TIGER SPRINT STAR Clark, who set a new District 7-AA record in the 440-yard dash, won the 220-yard dash, and anchored Waco High's record-breaking mile relay quartet, is the key performer on the Tiger track team this year. Here Clark crouches in his starting blocks for a practice sprint. He'll run at Dallas Saturday.

GOTTLIEB TWIRLS 3-HITTER Bruins Edge SMU, 3-2 DALLAS, April 21 Baylor dimmed Southern Southwest Conference baseball hopes today, taking a 3-2 decision as Fred Gottlieb and Bowers hooked up in a pitching duel. Gottlieb got the better backing afield.

Three errors in the fourth- two of them by catcher Bryan let in the three Baylor runs. It was third loss of the season. Baylor has lost four. Gottlieb gave up three hits. Bowers fanned eight, walked four and yielded five hits.

He was sailing smoothly with five strikeouts in three innings, before Wayne Pirates Beating Themselves So Far hard and pulling the ball well, and Sam Cooper is getting his base knocks.

Waco committed eight errors In the 6-5 loss to Harlingen, Jack Fall dropped a foul fly that set up the game-winning homer. In the 4-3 loss to Austin, just about everything happened. although Kildoo hurled a sparkling four-hitter.

Chatham was In Huntsville Tuesday and Wednesday winding up the paper work at County Campus, now that the last of Pittsburgh's farm clubs has returned home. He will be back for the Saturday night game of Waco and Austin at Katy 1 Park. Tigers Vanquish Temple, 5 to 2, To Capture Lead TEMPLE.

The Tigers were held to seven hits by Temple starter Curtis Morries and relief pitcher Ed Luna, who replaced him in the seventh thev got the most frnmt those hits and were helped by four costly wildcat errors.
