Martinville and Era'ti in Class and Meaux, seeded first in Class C. i The Dragons whipped Meaux defending state champions twice in three games, yet are seeded beneath them. This, according to Youngvsille folks, was a mistake. And Youngsvilles team goes out to prove it this afternoon. Going into battle in the Class district tournament at 1.45 p.

m. today. Youngs ville high will carry the most enviable record of any Lafayette parish boys team. Seeded second in the tourney, the Dragons have amassed 1.509 points in 30 non-tournament games this season, averaging slightly over 50 points in each contest as the downed 27 opponents. In four tournaments, they finished first once, second twice and third once.

And they did it all with three from last years first string missing. When Coach James B. Saucier met his squad for the first time this season, L. J. Hebert, Sonny Coycault and Hayward Thibodaux were absent.

Those three boys from the 1948 parish championship agregation had all graduated, leaving only Captain Zenon Bill Trahan and Ivan Savoy. Around this nucleus Coach Saucier built a power that is at this very moment breathing hot on the neck of the district title. The big forward, Trahan, considered by many Lafayette parish's 1 outstanding eager, has paced his team to its amazing record. In his 30 games, the black-haired youth has hooped 610 points for an average of 20.3 points per game, or approximately 40 of Youngs-villes total points. In the scoring department no one quite measures up to Trahan; he is the only Dragon to hit a doublefigure average for the season.

FOG i HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA (NEA) Lou Boudreau hasnt been home more than two nights a week since the World Series.

After the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association dinner he flew to Chicago for that citys Baseball Writers clambake. Boston was next, and then the big one in New York. Boudreau is a wiry chap, but how much of this sort of stuff can even the hardiest athlete take? If Bill Veeck is as smart as lot of people believe him to be, the Indians president will get his manager off the rubber chicken circuit immediately, if not sooner. Going at his present rate, Bou dreau, who as it is has to tape himself a set of insteps and ankles daily, will be a miracle man if ne is able to walk when the hot weather comes, let alone play shortstop. The Illinois alumnus will be in camp in Tuscon before he knows it and starting another long and taxing grind.

Boudreau is badly in need of lest looks, feels and admits it. Stan Musial could tell Boudreau. The roast beef league took 53 points off the Donora Dandys batting average in 1947, cost the Cardinals the National League pennant and put him in the hospital. Most Valuable Player Boudreau and Owner Veeck have put on a grand show all winter. They headed a troupe which moie often than not included Doak Walker, Southern Methodists All-America back; Chuck Bednank, Pennsylvanias All-America center, and Joe Verdeur, the Olympic (Special to The Advertiser) OPELOUSAS With Captain Dan York showing the way, the Opel whitewash Ville Plattes boxers 8-0 ousas Tigers scored four TKOs to here last night.

York stopped the Bulldogs C. Vid rine in two rounds, with the Ville Platte boy bloody and beaten, unable to answer the third-round belL D. Sylvester fought Allen Mayer on even terms until the fmal round, when he succumbed to the Opelousas 135-pounder. Sylvester had Mayer in trouble in the middle frame, but took a lacing until Coach Duffy Soileau let fly with the towel after 46 seconds had elapsed in the final stanza. Referee Mickey Domingue expressed pleasant surprise at the readiness with which Soileau stopped the fights.

All four TKOs were halted by the Ville Platte mentor, who refused to let his boys take any unnecessary punishment. Charles Peterson overcame a first-round beating to stop J. Fontenot with only four seconds remaining in round two. The Ville Platte 126-pounder shook Peterson up with a hard right in the opening round before taking his licks from the Tiger southpaw. M.

Meyers whacked Ville Plattes E. Cole with a solid right to the jaw in the second round to win the 93-pound clash. He stopped the Bulldog mauler after a minute and 26 seconds had gone by in the middle of their fight. Other results of the evenings fights (Opelousas boxers listed i before the All-Star Game in St Louis, July 13. The Indians most important meeting of the year took place in Boudreaus drawing room while the Tribes delegation was headed for Sportsmans Park, lasted far mto the night.

With Boudreau were Gor don, Ken Keltner and Bob Lemon, Each was assigned three team mates on whom they were to work. Gordon drew Gene Bearden and Larry Doby. Gordon could cuss Bearden out any time he didnt seem to be bear ing down on every pitch, and Gene would respond, said Boudreau, If I said anything to him it just seemed to upset him. Doby needed encouragement, and he worships Gordon. With out Gordon pushing him, he might have taken another year or two really to make the grade.

An incident that happened at Comiskey Park the day Doby joined us, while we were going nowhere in particular in the summer of 1947, did more to straighten out the Paterson kid than any other one thing, related Sports Shirt Vecch. Doby missed the last two of three strikes by three feet, and returned to the dugout lower than a Lilliputian standing in a hole, sat dejectedly at the far end of the bench. The next hitter was Gordon, and he missed the last two of three strikes by three-and-a-half feet, returned to the dugout, and sat next to Doby. It was as much to say. Were just ballplayers, kid.

It happened then and it will happen again. All you can do is your best. Anyway, Doby was put at ease by a great star right from taw, knew he belonged. Doby, in my opinion, will succeed Joe DiMaggio as the finest all-around outfielder in the game. Doby gave the Indians their fourth pro to complete their down-the-middle combination starting with catcher Jim Hegan and going through Boudreau and Gordon.
