The local high school owed him $150 for use of the park for football games. X Eventually Tarleton bobbed up at the meeting. He made a dea! with the Chicago Cubs and got $5,000 in cash and three ball players for his star shortstop, Turgeon. The Cubs were unable to deliver one of the other players and later forked up $4,000 instead. Another deal with the White Sox, involving his second baseman, Black, yielded more thou- sands. Well, to cut the story short, Tarfe- ton came back with enough money to meet all current debts and had some left over for operating expenses. And more interesting still, is the fact that he strengthened his club. That's baseball as she is baseball- ed in the minors.

Few of the smaller leagues are evenly balanced. Some teams are consistent money losers, even 'when up near the top. © In this respect the strong Texas League is no exception. Beaumont and Galveston, for instance, can hardly hope to compete with cities the size of Dallas or Fort Worth, Listen now to the story of Bob Tarleton, veteran graduate of the diamond, now business manager of Beaumont.

[As a stroke player, Gene Sarazen, young Italian professional, apparent- ly does not belong with the elect. These are harsh words to write of a slashing athlete who was good enough at the age of 21 to outstroke | all the professionals in the country, as well as Bobby Jones and other ranking amateurs. / Sarazen did this two years. ago when he won the open at Skokie, | unfurling a brilliant last-round drive of 69 to top the field, and win by a stroke. But oddly enough, Sarazen has done nothing of consequence in | stroke play since, _whereas in match ! play--which seems to be his forte-- | he has been uniformly successful, Sarazen was a miserable figure in the open at Inwood last summer, and again" at Oakland Hills this year. Sarazen failed to qualify in the Brit- ish open last spring, and nobody: knew he was even around the prem- ises this year at Hoylake. British ! experts are still wondering how he | éVer won the open championship in this country. And yet, while Hagen, MacDonald Smith, Walker and other profes- sionals have stepped out ahead of Sarazen, the 1922 champion is stilt able to point with pride to his match play record. Sarazen won the match play title In 1922, and thus became the year's only double-jointed title- holder. Last fall he repeated in this event, drawing Hagen in the finals and beating him in an overtime match which ended on the thirty- eighth green. It was in this tournament that Sarazen performed the miracle of reaching the 274-yard eighteenth green nine successive times with ue! tee shot, a feat of accuracy that knows few equals in the history of) the game, : Sarazen has been beaten by a match play golfer in the last) three years. : Arthur Havers, the British champion, scored a victory over him last spring. At that, the standing between the two is fifty- fifty, for Sarazen had previously won 4 match from him.
