Braves Have Pennant
In Their Sights
BY DON FERREE
With big wins over the
Indians and Dodgers in
last week’s LL action,
the Braves moved closer
to their first LL champ-
ionship. TheLeague
leaders now enjoy a 11/2
game lead over the run-
ner up Dodgers with only
two games left in season
play.
A Brave win or a Dod-
ger loss in remaining
season play would give the
Braves the season
championship.
Down the line, however,
comes the League Round
Robin Tournament which
the Braves must also win
or face a play-off game
for the League Champion-
ship.
Drawings for tourna-
ment play will be held
Tuesday night. The tour-
ney is scheduled to start
no later than June 23.
In Friday’s games a
three run homer over the
left field fence by Sammy
Farris carried the Dod-
gers to a 7 to 6 win over
the hard luck Cardinals.
Robbie Karr, with relief
help from Sammy Farris
in the last Inning when the
Cards scored three runs,
was the winning hurler.
Ricky Hardin and Joe
Cargile hurled for the
Cards. The Cards outhit
the Dodgers 8 to 4,
In the second game,
trailing 1-0, the Braves
pushed across four runs
in the last inning to down
the Indians 4 to 2. Earnest
Osuna pitched a fine ball-
game for the losers,
striking out seven and
holding the League
leaders to five hits. Don-
ald Harris hurled the
Brave win and also de-
livered the key base hit
that won the game for the
Braves
In Tuesday’s games,
Abel Reyna’s fourth home
run of the season, a three
run shot off relief hurler
Byron Boyd, pushed the
—
Braves to their sixth
straight win and an 8-5
victory over the Dodgers.
The important contest,
a “must win "for both
teams, saw the Braves
take an early 3 to 0 lead
before the Dodgers fought
back with a three run rally
in the third inning to tie.
The Braves iced the game
in the fourth inning scor-
ing five runs off Dodger
starters Sammy Farris
and Boyd. Abel Rena hurl-
ed the win and remained
undefeated in LL play,
striking out 13 Dodgers.
The hard-throwing Reyna
now has struck out 56
batters in season play.
In Tuesday’sni tec ap,
the Indians, trailing 4-2
in the last inning, pushed
across five runs on key
hits by Earnest Osuna,
Mike Brantley and Timmy
Havens to down the Yan-
kees 7-5 in a hard-fought
ballgame.
Timmy Havens, Gary
Brantley and Earnest
Osuna hurled for the win-
ners while Pete Alamarez
and Roy Luera pitched for
the Yanks. The Indians
also led In the hitting de-
partmen, 8 to 7.
Danny Mendez, Albert
Osuna, Gary Brantley and
Mike Brantley turned in
fine g a m e s for the In-
dians. Ricky Hernendez,
Vic Scott, Joe Simpson,
Orvln Ellis, Tommy Mur-
illo and Cameron Lowrie
played well for the
Braves. Byron Boyd, Dee
Moses, Jimmy Justus,
Randy Ratheal, Sterling
Mize, Jeff Young, Gary
Gilbreath, Dale Powell,
Kyle Holman, Arturro
Alamarez, Joe Greene,
Bret Griffith, Kent Gil-
breath, Michael Cargile,
and Tyson Nixon also
turned in good defensive
plays for their teams.

Training opportunities
GreenbugsGetting
Off To Early
Start In Grain
Greenbugs, those little
green aphids which have
been attacking grain sor-
ghum on the Texas High
Plains for the past few
years, have recently been
observed infesting small
grain sorghum in several
counties in the area.
“At present, I know of
no damaging infestations
in Crosby County but pro-
ducers should be on the
lookout for them,” says
Bruce Griffith, Crosby
County Agricultural
Agent.
“The main thing for
producers to do right now
is to keep a close check
on their fields. Small
grain sorghum up about
six inches in height is
much more susceptible
to greenbug injury than
larger plants. Only a few
greebugs per plant may
be necessary to damage
small grain sorghum and
damage in the seedling
stage may result in stand
loss.’’
The extent of greenbug
damage depends on
greenbug numbers, plant
size, stage of growth,
plant vigor, moisture
conditions and the pre-
sence or absence of para-
sites and predatory.
Parasites and predators
are generally still in low
numbers but should in-
crease rapidly as green-
bug numbers increase.
“Be sure that green-
bugs are present in dam-
a vail able during the sum-
mer will include Junior
Life Saving which is of-
fered for girls this age
at the Mackenzie Park
Pool in Lubbock under the
auspices of the American
Red Cross.
Service projects are
also being planned, since
Senior Girl Scouting is in-
tended to be primarily
service work. Volunteers
are still need to work in
sorting clothing and
household equipment for
distribution in the tornado
relief in Lubbock. Also,
the Lubbock Home for
Children has been con-
tacted about the need for
scouts to help in volunteer
work with the children’s
activities there. Thought
will be given to Com-
munity Service Projects
aging numbers before
starting a spray pro-
gram,’’ cautions Griffith.
“Several other species of
aphids, such as the corn
leaf aphid, commonly in-
fest grain sorghum, but
seldom causes economic
damage.”
“Insecticides recom-
mended for controlling
greenbugs include car-
bophenothion (Trithion),
demeton (Systox), dia-
zinon, disulfoton (Di-
Syston), malathion and
pa rath ion. Disulfoton
should not be applied as
a foliar spray more than
twice per crop season or
as a granular application
more than once per sea-
son. Malathion is recom-
mended for ground appli-
cation only. Methyl para-
thlon should not be sub-
stituted for parathion,”
Griffith said.
in Crosbyton And ideas
will be shared and op-
portunities for service in
our community will be
stressed.
All girls from the 10th
through the 12th grades
are eligible to become
members of the Senior
Girl Scouts and anyone in-
terested is invited to con-
tact either Mrs. J. W.
Jackson or Mrs. Donald
Wooten and are urged to
attend the meeting Sat-
urday.
