Pleasant Grove Grange Nine To Tackle Eagles Last night tho Eagles baseball club took its first practice workout slnco a hard-earned victory over the Mis sion Indians last Sunday. The club 1b now preparing for Its next kame with the Pleasant Grove grange baseball teaml to be played on the High school field here, starting at 2 o'clock next Sunday afternoon. The Pleasant Orovo team record, compared to that of the Eagles, pro vides material for speculation. The grange team Is composed entirely of youngsters under 19 years of age. most of them having played on for mer Imbler High school sectional championship teams. This season the grangers have lost but one game while annexing tho scalps of five opposing teamB. Their percentage of victories rates at .833. On tho other hand the Eagles have won but six games while dropping eight to opposing teams. The Eagles percentage rates at .428. The one game that the grange lads drop ped was to the Mission Indians by a score of 11 to 6. The Eagles have played the Mission team 'twice, the first time losing by a score of 8 to 7. and the last time winning by a score of 7 to 6. I From, comparative scores it appears rthat the Eagles have a slight edge on the grange boys, but many local fans seem to doubt tho Importance of this Indication. The tcntatlvo starting lineup for the visitors is as follows: Lewis or Jackson, p.: Crowser or Jackson, lb,; Wagner, 2b.; Pugh. 3b.; Master, ss.; Conklln, If.; Potratz, cf.; Oliver or Sanderson, rf . The Eagles tentative lineup is: Case or Courtney, p.; Selby, c: Bradcn, lb.; Posey, 2b.; Nichols or Hartman, ss.; Evans, 3b.; Cochran, If.; Hall, cf.; Wlcklander, rf. John Garity probably will umpire the game. Making It Worse One way tj waste your time Is to lit down and bewail the time you bave already wasted. Los Angeles Times.'""

Gould : (Associated Press Sports Editor) American tennis fans who read the papers, and especially those fans around New Orleans, Memphis, Cin cinnati, Chicago and Milwaukee, are beginning to believe that at least once Bill Tllden spotted an Infant phenom who will live up to all advance blurbs. A couple of years ago Tllden was quoted, as saying that Frankle Park er of Milwaukee was the most prom ising player, for his year that he, Tll den, had ever seen. That was when Parker, a 14-year-old lad of barely 100 pounds, had yet to win the national boys title that came to hlmj last summer. Tllden has carried the torch for other prodigies of the courts, and has personally sponsored several, but none save Junior Coen has real ly rung the bell In top flight tennis and even Coen has not developed as sensationally as he started. But the trail which Parker has been blazing through spring and early-summer tournaments has net fandom thrilling to a new hope. At New Orleans last winter he van quished, George Lott, and extended. WJlmer Allison to two deuce seta before losing. , In the National clay court meet at Memphis, the Trl-State at Cincin nati and tho Western at Chicago his play was the talk of all gal urkev V made for rolling lerles.. He became an objective of autograph-seekers almost ovornlght following his great five-set finals bat tle with Lott at Cincinnati, and his victory over tho same player at Chi cago four days later. GALLERIES IN TRANCE . Tennis devotees - who watch the boy in action are enthralled by his workmanship and his unhurried, smooth stroklngA - As one gallery He in Chicago expressed it: "He hits every shot, no matter where or in what position, as though that par ticular shot were the ono he had specialized In for years." He's still not a big fellow by any means, but he's lh rare good health and his 135-pound physique is well knit, which could not be said for tho scrawny, 06-pound Frank lo Parker who six . years ago began lugging a cast-off battle axe racquet Into kid tourneys In Milwaukee. , , Tilden, though, wasn't tho real "discoverer" of Parker. Mercer Beasley, tennis coach of ; a Milwau kee club and at Tulane unlvorslty, first detected Frankle's talent, in terested a wealthy Milwaukee ten nis fan In the boy, and thus changed the whole course of hiB life. He was put in a country boarding school (his parents wore not well off), given a sot of body-building ex ercises and regulated diet, and a ten nis tourney schedule was mapped for him. This Included four succes sive starts In tho National boys' meet at Culver, Ind., whero ho was a popular flguro for three years be fore achieving the crown last sum mer, Frankle's assortment of strokes la probably as complete and finely polished as any of the lesser Inter nationalists. This temperament, on the court and off It, Is Ideal, and his stamina is all that could bo asked. If he has a weakness It is only that of lack of experience. And he's getting that, this summer, So reenmmande par Mctdiercment par sa finesse et sa purcte. Thurston Wins His Sixth With Brooklyn Team Hy (In vie Tiilhot (Associated Press Sports Writer) Max Carey, manager of tho Brook lyn Dodgers, did his beat bit of master minding of the season when he de cided a month ago to glvo Hollls Thurston a break. Up to then, Thurston had been do ing relief pitching now and then with Indifferent success. On May 28, Carey sent tho 32-year- old righthander against the aiants, Thurston wont the routo and won, 6 to 4. Slnco then. Thurston has gone to tho hill fivo times, and yestcrdny he marked up his sixth straight vic tory. His rato success since he was promoted to tho varsity Is one of the big reasons why the Dodgers are In a tie for fourth place In the National league today, only three gamos from the top. Nwoiul Straight Shutout Yesterday's 7 to 0 win over the Phillies was Thurston's second straight shutout and ran his record of consecutive scoreless innings to 22. Ho was only tho third pitcher to blank the Phils in their homo park this season, and he had to keep flvo hits well spaced to turn the trick. Hack Wilson's 15th homerun with two on featured the Brooklyn assault. Although they rallied to score four runs in tho last of tho ninth, the Cin cinnati Reds dropped another one run decision to St. Louis, 10 to 0. Charllo Gilbert hit Into a double play with the tying run on baso. Only two games wore billed In tho National. 'Lefty Gomez, seeking his 12th straight victory, was knocked from tho hill in the eighth, but tho high flying Yankees defeated Washington, 6 to 6, and maintained tholr long lead' in tho American league. Joe V Sowell's two home runs played a big part In the Yankee triumph. George Plpgros relieved Gomes and reoelved credit for the -win. Detroit Thumps Cleveland Detroit tightened Its hold on sec ond place by thumping Cleveland, 13 to 4, behind Earl White lull's tight pitching. Joo Boley, former Athletic hero, mado his appearance at short-. atop for tho Indians and handled, flvo chances.
