The Harper Herald - - Harper, Texas
Stonewall Wins 1st Game
In Farmer Boys Finals
By Yens Cottle
Stonewall, behind the 5-hit
pitching of Kenny Eckert, nosed
out Harper, 4-3, last Sunday in
the first of a best two-out-of-
three series for the championship
of the Farmer Boys League.
Next Sunday, Sept. 18, the
two teams play at Harper, and
it is do-or-die for Harper. If
Stonewall wins this one, it ends
the season. If Harper wins,
there will be a third game on
neutral grounds, probably at
Pat’s Ball Park at Fredericks-
burg. Game time this Sunday
is 3 p. m. at the Harper Com-
munity Park.
Now back to the game last
Sunday. It was a very exciting
ball game all the way. Eckert
went all the way for' Stonewall.
Kenny Gosper started for Har-
per and served Schumann, the
Stonewall left fielder and lead-
off man, a home run ball for
the only earned run of the game.
Harper tied it up at 1-1 in
the top of the second on a base on
balls, a fielder’s choice, an error
and a long single by Oren Cottle.
But the tie didn’t last long, as
three errors, two bases on balls
and two singles in the third gave
Stonewall three runs and the
ball game.
Tooter Parker came on to
pitch in the fourth and gave up
two singles the rest of the way.
Harper picked up a pair of gift
runs in the eighth on two sin-
gles and two errors to make the
final score 4-3.
See you next Sunday at Harper.

becue will be served to the mem-
bers of the cooperative and their

are recommended, since experi-

Ellebracht, Bernice and Levi of
Fredericksburg returned on Sat-
urday, Sept. 3 from a two weeks
vacation trip which took them
through Texas, New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho,
Nevada, California, and Arizona.
Points of interest which the
group visited within these nine
states are: the Royal Gorge
Bridge, which is the world’s high-
est suspension bridge and is
I, 053 feet above the Arkansas
River; Skyline Drive at Canon
City. Colorado, which is known
as the world’s highest paved
highway; and Pike’s Peak, which
has an elevation of 14,110 fedt.
The group made the twenty mile
trip up Pike’s Peak in their own
automobiles.
Denver, Colorado; Berthoud
Pass, which has an elevation of
II, 314 feet; Rabbit Ear Pass,
with an elevation of, 7,680 feet;
the Assembly Hall, Tabernacle,
and Museum on Mormon Square
in Salt Lake City, Utah were
very interesting. Of special inter-
est in the Tabernacle on Mor-
mon Square was the huge pipe
organ which has five manuals
and 11,000 pipes.
Some of the group enjoyed the
experience of riding a chair lift
to the top of a 5,000 foot moun-
tain at Jackson, Wyoming.
The Chapel of Transfiguration
in Grand Teton National Park
was also of great interest. The
snow covered Teton Mountains
were very beautiful.
Yellowstone National Park
brought many thrills with its
erupting geysers, boiling water,
bears, moose, mule deer, and
many other things too numerous
to mention.
After leaving Yellowstone, the
group toured parts of Idaho, the
Sierra Nevada Mountains in
Nevada; the Museum in Carson
City, Nevada; took a tour
through a mine; Reno, Nevada;
Lake Tahoe, located on top of the
mountains partly in Nevada and
partly in California; Las Vegas,
Nevada; Hoover (Boulder) Dam;
Flagstaff, Arizona; and the Pain-
ted Desert in Arizona. They also
were privileged to see the dwel-
lings of the cliff dwellers in
New Mexico.
