For the first time this year the Texas Tech No. 3 and 4 men in the singles and No. 2 team in the doubles hung up victories. Marked improvement was noted by the coach and observers especially in the two latter instances. Buster Houston, playing No.

First place men Sidney Moore and Frank Kelley, of Tech and West Texas Teachers respectively, clashed in the initial contest, Moore winning, 6-3, 6-4.

Seven South Plains schoolboy nines have the old gloves warmed up and are swinging the willows with determination these days as they await the opening of the District One high school baseball tournament at the Hubbers' park Thursday afternoon. "Play ball" will ring out on the affair sharply at 2 o'clock Thursday and will continue under the system of two-defeats-mean-elimination through Friday and Saturday with the finals scheduled to be reeled off the afternoon of Saturday, May 13. Winner of the tourney will receive an expense paid trip to Dallas to participate in' the all-Texas High school baseball meet from May 24 to 27 Inclusive. Cooper High captured the district crown last year and marched to the quarterfinals of the state tourney before being eliminated. Threat But this year's district competition is several times tougher than that which Coach Fred Rich's charges faced last spring and for the team to repeat would be little short of an upset.

Possibly the favorite of the tournament is Coach Bulldog Hale's Whitharral squad. The Bulldog's boys have won 11 games and have dropped only one, thai to Southland, or rather, to Marcy Donahoo, Southland's ace pitcher and one man show. Ordinarily the Southland crew would not be considered in the running but with the irrespreslble Donahoo on the mound anything may happen. Only last week he hurled a no run, no hit performance over the Cooper nine. The latter's pitching wasn't below par in that game by any means either, Southland batters managing to connect only for two hits, one of them finally resulting in the run that won the contest.

Westerners Seek Title A feature of the contest for baseball enthusiasts of Lubbock will be the fact that Lubbock High's Westerners will carry the Gold and Black into the affair. Coach Walker Nichols has been tutoring the Bronc Busters and has a better than average squad lined up seeking the title. The Lubbock lads inaugurate the tournament against the Levelland squad, coached by Gano Tubbs, assistant football mentor there, Thursday afternoon. Measuring the comparative strength of the various squads there is one which certainly cannot be overlooked, Frenshlp. Coach Bob Rich has had the hard luck of losing four games, two to Cooper and two to Whitharral, by one run margins; but his boys have their fighting regalia donned, he says, and are going into the tournament with their eyes set on that Dallas trip.

Affair Wide Open Then there's Gordon Miller's Brown, Hale To Meet Today At Meadowbrook Rex Brown, Texas Tech student from Floydada, and Bob Hale, Lubbock, advanced to the final round in the annual Meadowbrook Open Golf tournament yesterday and will meet over the 36-hole route today for the championship. Brown defeated Weldon Counts, medalist, 3 and 2, while Hale defeated Edgar Doherty, another former Tech student, 4 and 3, in the semi-final rounds. Thft final round will get under way shortly after noon today, and a large gallery is expected to witness the championship battle. All Under Par All four semi-finalists were under par yesterday, Brown and Hale lowering the perfect figure by the score indicated. The winners required numerous birdies to triump.

Previously, Brown had defeated Rucey Baird, 4 and 3, and Billy Martin, 3 and 2. Hale had pulled an upset in the opening round with a 3 and 2 victory over Joe Bihl, the West Texas champion, then another by defeating the medalist runner up, Al Hoiton, 1 up. Doherty had won from Melvin Best of Texas Tech, 5 and 4, in a quarter-final match, while Counts, had taken out another Tech star, Jack. Carlson, 2 and 1.

If customers, clients and experienced dificulty in making satisfactory negotiations with merchants, lawyers and doctors yesterday, there is a legitimate excuse. The fishing season is here or will be come sun-up tomorrow. If your best friend and counsellor failed to recognize you, if he had a faraway gaze in his eye, and went along the street making flicking motions with his arms and wrists, perhaps carrying a long, narrow bundle under one arm an odd-shaped package in the other; if he did recognize you and start jabbering of plugs, minnows, frogs, die-jacks, backlashes and backlash-proof reels, offset rods and tapered lines, at the same time casually mentioning a little trip down to Brownwood, out to Pecos, or even all the way to East Texas, even as you would consider a drive out to the ball park or golf Licenses Going Fast If you bumped into any of that, and were not in the same frame of mind and chatter as he, just put it down to May 1 and the beginning of the game fish season. As in hundreds of other cities, towns and hamlets over the state, there'll be a great exodus of Lubbock citizens today. They'll be on their ways to their favorite bass beds and crappie corrals where tomorrow they'll unlimber their fishing artillery in all its newly oiled or newly purchased splendor.

Lubbock sporting goods stores did big business yesterday, and clerks got writer's cramp making out licenses. It was estimated by the county clerk's office yesterday that upwards of 200 licenses had been purchased, with probability that many more would be gone before the middle of this week. The clerk's office did but a small fraction of the business, licenses being available at the hardware and sporting goods stores. And one must have a license if one is to use artificial bait, or if one plaas to leave his home county, Should Know Laws The permitted methods of taking fish: Ordinary pole and line, set- line, trotline, artificial bait, seines and nets of not less than three-inch square mesh. One should remember, too, that black bass of less than 11 inches and crappie less than seven inches in length may not be taten, unless you happen to fish in a county ex- ceptsxl by the general law.

Better consult the warden if in doubt, however. Bag limits: 15 bass, 15 crappie, 35 bream or an aggregate ot 50 of these species in one day. Possession limit: 30 bass, 30 crappie or 70 bream. Buffalo Lakes, located less than a dozen miles from the city limits, will be as crowded as a municipal golf course on Sunday by Lubbock anglers tomorrow, but several local tax payers are going to Lake Caddo, to the lakes around Fort Worth and Dallas, and to Brownwood, Sweetwater, Abilene, Graham, Post, and out west to the banks of the Pecos, southwest to the Rio Grande.

They are pictured here as they visited a sporting goods store and looked over a vast amount of 1939 model tackle. Both men will be on the casting line tomorrow when the season opens.

Humphries leaves today with a large company for Lake Brownwood. "I'll be out there somewhere," said Ex-Mayor Edwards. iSportometer Collier mOMORROW IS ANOTHER OPENING DAY for the baseball Hubbers J- and their home town fans. It should be a big occasion for two good reasons. 1.

The new Hubber manager. Francis "Salty" Parker, will make his debut as field skipper and shortstop and you're coinp to like Salty. 2. The Pampa Oilers, first professional baseball tonm to represent that progressive city, will be making their first stop in Luhbock. it behooves all good and true faivs of Hir diamond to present themselves at the Hubber box office about 3 o'clock, or sooner, Monday afternoon.

The Hubbers arc fortunate in procuring the services of this Parker fellow. Not ouly is lie a Class A-l ball player, being one of the best fielding shortstops in Texas League baseball for several years, but he is a colorful person who gets alonfc swell with his team mates, particularly with younger men. Parker is no "veteran." from a standpoint of aite. himself, yet has had enough experience in fill thr job of coach and manager. Those who have observed his play and mcilalcd upon his ability to lead his team do not question his aptitude as the "maker" of the Hubber infield.

Lubbock's and this league's gain is Dallas' nnd the Texas Leagues loss as Parker moves here. All over the league they'll tell you that Salty is a go-getter and a hustling citizen that hr can play ball in anybody's park, and that his personality will captivate every fan with whom he comes in contact. If he can make Johnny Taylor move over two feet to the Tight, improve Al Carr's stance, teach MB! Stevens how to pivot for a double play and all the lads how to bunt, especially Boyd he'll get along in Lubbock and in this We join the other fans in welcoming Parker to Lubbock, and wish him the best of everything.
