U. 8. Pat. Off.) w — q New York. May 24. (UP) Manager Frankie Frisch of the hustling Pirates should be happy as a lark with laryngitis to learn that he Is responsible, in roundabout fashion, for the envied Cardinale' sparkling infield play. Such Is the case. Emil Matthew Verban. the “Croatian comet” who scintillates around St. Loo's second sack, confessed all last night a! the New Yorker, shortly after Billy Southworth's “glass house gang" arrived to launch Its eastern tour against Brooklyn today. Verban la the dynamic rookie from the Ciduinbus club who removed worry wrinkles from pilot Southworth's brow, temporarily at least, when he proved a bang-up keystone replacement sos Lou Klein, now in the coast guard. Before the season opened, second base was Southworth's biggest problem. Now Southworth says, “if there has been any feature to our play this season, I would say It's Verban's work at second.

Milwaukee Brewers Score 28-0 Victory Blast Toledo, Add To Association Lead Uy United Ph-m The Milwaukee Brewers had a (aim? and a hair lead in the American association today after chalking up a now scoring record yesterday by blasting the Toledo Mudhens 28 to 0 while the second-place Colunrbtw Rndfiirds lost a 5 to 1 decision to Kansas City. The Brewers blasted four Toledo , pttchena off the mound with a bar- , rage of 27 hits, five of them circuit clouts, and scored in every inning ’ but the first and eighth. , Warming up in the second inning with two runs, the Brewers came to bat in the third and pushed nine more acron* the plate, scored three more in both the fourth and sixth frames, one in the fifth, eight in the seventh and (two in the ninth. Four errors by Toledo contributed to the Brewer victory. Earl Caidwell limited the Mudhens to eight scattered hits. The Kaiwae City Blues pounded out 10 hits off Ken Burkhart to halt the Cohmibus Rt-clblrd*' current drive for the first place spot. The Blues scored their final tally only a fair hitter, he's a tine fielder -can go to his right or left like a flash; and he’a great on double plays. He’s certainly a key man in our inflelder." But what's the connection with Frankie Frtach? Slender, brown-haired Verban explained the connection from a hotel > lobby chair. He said. "I'm 25 now; but when I was in high school at Lincoln, Ill.—where I was born Frisch was my idol. He was playing with the Cardinals then. Be cause of his fame and my admiration for him, I decided to become a second base man. I read everything I could about him, and listened on the radio when he was playing. I tried to pattern my play after him. "My brothers. Matt and Steve, were pretty good aemf-p.-o players. They took the Sporting News. I'd go through every issue, looking for pieces about Frisch. Os courae. I’d go through the daily papers too. I was lucky to pick the right man for my Idol; the longer 1 play the more I realise what a really great second baseman Frankie was." Emil's home now is at Elkhart, 111., a small farming town. He is In 4-F because of a perforated eardrum. He has been married for two years, but has no children. Re owns a farm of 188 acres outside of Elkhart. During the off-seasons, be helps the farm-tenant by doing repair work. etc. Verban was seasoned with various- minor clubs for seven years before joining Columbus for the '4l campaign. He is delighted to be playing now with the Cards, whom he admired so much In their "gas bouse" days Now that Pepper Martin Is back with the Cards, could Verban imagine them still the gas house on tilt? Before Emil could answer thia yestion, another player—who had been listening tn * —interrupted with: "Naw! It seems more like the glass house gang now; because • everyone is wondering what will happen to the club when Muslal, “ Litwhiler and Munger are taken into service. They've all passed ■ their physicals, you know."

Texas Democrats In Row At Convention Roosevelt Faction Bolts From Meeting >IMI 111— Austin. Tex., May 24 (UP) — A split over the fourth term issue, which resulted in the appointment of pro Roosevelt and "uninslructed” delegations tn the national convention, divided Texa- Democrats Into rival camps today and provided the basis for a first class fight over recognition of the warring factions at tiro Chicago meeting. The break occurred at the party's state convention yesterday when the pro-Roosevelt faction, headed by A. J. Wlrti, former undersecretary of the Interior, bolted from the meeting and held a rump session. naming a separate group of delegates to the national convention. The split resulted from the question of pledging electors to support the Democratic national ticket, regardless of its composition. A resolution which favored a return to the old party plan of nominating the candidates for president and vice provident by a two-thirds majority rule and declaring that stales and parties! had a right to fix their own elec-1 lion rules precipitated the break y According to the terms of the resolution, if the national convention did not approve the propos ala, the delega.es would be free Io cast the state's 48 votes for any Democrats "hiding view)* Ln accord with those here expressed.” The pro-Roosevelt faction bolt ed the meeting and held a rival convention, naming a full ajale of delegates with Mrs. Clara Driscoll, Corpus Christi, chairman. Oov. Coke R. Stevenson was in vlted to head the main convention's delegation to Chicago and former Gov. Dan Moody was named its chairman. George A. Butler. Houston. Democratic state chairman, was named vice chairman of the delegation. Repercussions of the rupture undoubtedly will be felt al the national convention when nli<rival factions present their cre-
