To make Bill's afternoon extra busy he landed on base flvv times in as many trips to the plate. Three hits, a walk and an error accounted for the activity. js Anderson had plenty of speed, hut lacked the control shown in recant games. Decides, his support failed to sparkle. LeRoy Wagner, iiecently installed in the shortstop position, drilled three .hits through the infield to account for half of the McHenry hit production. All in all, it was Kreutier's turn to shine and he pitched a masterful game in spite of three errors in his infield. I Jdkaaharg Tiger* -- 11 AB H. Freund, cf Ji JN. Smith, 2b-- 5 ^ B.

The colored boys' veteran left-hander, Barry Cunningham, was too much for the visiting Shamrocks. Both teams collected seven )i|ts hut the Sbemroeka were unable to score because of Cunningham's ability to pour it in with men on the base paths.

AUSTIN, TEXAS.--Frank Hamer, former Texas Ranger captain, terror of Sgutiiwest outlaws, is busy these days with plans for a national defense unit of picked men to serve on call wherever •* and whenever needed. Captain Hamar't most famous feat was the successful trailing of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. He was in retirement from the Rangers after SS years' service when he took up the hunt for the Southwest's No. 1 badman of the time and his red-haired girl who smoked big cigars. . It was the girl's fondness for a particular brand of cigarettes rather than cigars that proved a factor in Hamer** trailing the pair from Tens through Missouri and Oklahoma into Louisiana. Harrier entered the search at request of Texas prison authorities and Texas highway patrol officers after Barrow had been named as outside plotter of a prison escape in which four desperadoes got away. A few weeks later, on April 1,1934, two highway patrolmen saw a parked automobile on a side road near Grapevine, Texas. When they stopped to investigate and offer a ^ if needed, they were shot to death by a dark-haired man aid a redhaired woman. Ham or Takes Trail. Officers reached the conclusion that Barrow and his companion were the slayer* Of the patrolmen, and Hamer was put on their trail. He followed It lttt days until they pulled up, as he expected, at a forest "post office" where Hamer had learned Barrow communicated with his friends. The "post office" was a board in a pine forest a short distance from where a road ran over a knoll. There Bonnie could watch for any one approaching while Clyde get the "mail." Hamer never would reveal how he lrarned of this spot. He said he had traced Clyde and Bonnie to Louisiana by Close study of their habits--the kind of whisky Barrow drank, her brand of cigarettes, the particular tobacco Barrow used to roll cigarettes, and purchases of lettuce to feed a white rabbit that was Bonnie's pet. Hamer's hunches proved correct for when Clyde and Bonnie drove up the road eight nules from Plain Dealing, La., and stopped on May 28, 1984, Hamer and nine companions were spaced 10 feet apart behind brush pBed up on the side of the road oppoeite the "poet office." Bee eh for Weapons. As the car stopped Hamer called on the pair to surrender. Instead, accounts of the affair say, they reached for wwgens. The car was riddled with huBelr Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parkdr were killed inside it. In the automobile, officers reported finding three' automatic rifles, two sawed-off shotguns and 10 automatic pistols. There were 100 maduM gun ciipe and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
