Local All-Stars Serve Notice,
Hand Andrews 10-6 Thumping
, Kermit’s All-Stars served no-
tice Thursday night that they
will be a definite playoff threat,
roaring to a 10-6 victory over
the Andrews All-Stars at the
high school diamond.
The game has no bearing on
actual area playoffs, which will
begin tonight (Monday) at Lit-
tle League Park, but definitely
established the local crew as a
^team which will have to be
'^reckoned with in area elimina-
tions.
Local stars shelled three An-
drews hurlers for 11 hits and
coasted to a relatively easy vic-
tory, although the visitors man-
aged to threaten in the late
innings.
Larry Jordan went the full
route for Kermit and limited
Andrews to five hits during the
first five frames. He gave up
four more safeties in the sixth
and seventh frames but by
then Kermit was virtually as-
sured of the victory.
Jordan held the visitors score-
less for the first four innings
while his mates provided him
with a two-run lead. Kermit
Allied one in the first frame on
singles back-to-back by second-
sacker Bobby Nolen and Jor-
dan. Nolen rapped another sin-
gle in the third frame to set up
another Kermit marker.
Andrews surged in front in
the fifth frame, with three runs
an three singles and a rash of
Kermit miscues.
Paced by a two-bagger by
Keith Carr, the locals roared
back for three runs in the bot-
tom of the fifth to regain the
lead, going in front 5-2.
Again Andrews staged a come-
back, tallying twice on a single
and a triple to knot the score.
Kermit erupted for five tallies
in the sixth to put the game on
ice. Leroy Phillips singled, ad-

first baseman Bruce Dyer, and
both came in on Andrews er-

other safety and Barry Han-
dlin, playing his first game for
the Stars, pushed him into scor-
ing position with a single. All
in all, five Stars dented the
plate before Andrews finally re-
tired the side.
A desperate last-inning drive
failed to turn the tide for An-
drews and Kermit snared an
impressive 10-6 victory.
Andrews hurler Paul Rowlette
was charged with the loss.
Jordan gained credit for the
victory.
The Kermit hurler also paced
the winners at the plate, with
two singles in four times at bat.

July 18, for the first round of
area Pony League playoffs,
it was decided Wednesday at a
meeting of Pony League offi-
cials in Monahans.
Kermit will host Crane and
Monahans will entertain Pecos,
opening playoffs which will de-
termine an area representative
to the District 6 Pony loop play- reported. Other game sites will
offs in Abilene, July 25.
Officials from Pecos, Mona-
hans, Kermit and Crane met
Wednesday night in Monahans
to map out the schedule for
area eliminations.

The meeting is slated to begin

Kermit’sjunior trackmen take
to the practice field Monday
evening after a week of rest
following their impressive show-
ing in the Odessa Junior Olym-
pics.
The youthful thinclads, coach-
ed by Ken Fannon, will re-
sume practice with drills slated
for every night this week. Sat-
urday, July 23, the squad jour-
neys to Andrews for a final
practice meet before entering
the state Junior Olympic meet
at San Antonio July 28-29.
Coach Fannon’s charges will
run into stiffer competion at
Andrews than that offered in
the Odessa tourney, Fannon es-
timated. He said that Andrews,
a well-known West Texas track
power, is sure to offer the
strongest competition the team
has seen this summer.
In addition to the Andrews
squad, several other strong area
teams are expected to attend
the tourney, all with hopes of
sharpening performances in an-
ticipation of the state meet a
week later.
Fannon said he isn’t looking
for the squad to finish first in
team standings Saturday, but
added that several individuals
would be top contenders in the
field events, notably 15-year-
old Gary Hobson. Hobson shat-
tered the pole vault record by
a full foot at Odessa, and will

If the talented vaulter places
high at Andrews, he will be es-
tablished as a definite threat
in the pole vault at San An-
tonio.
David McGuire also figures
to offer strong competition in
16-17-year-old pole vaulting.
Others who turned in good
showings at Odessa are hur-
dler James Shipman and Ken
Batchelor, who took first in the
hop, step and jump.
The 12-13-age group also fig-
ures to be strong, and will be

finish at Odessa. Marty Mayer,
Mike Melton and Terry Wilson

Kermit Blue Sox third sacker
Gerald Gray rapped a two-run
double in the ninth frame Wed-
nesday night to spark a last-
inning rally which sent the Sox
sailing past the Jal Gassers for
a 5-2 victory.
Three Blue Sox runs in the
last frame enabled the locals to
withstand a desperate surge by
Jal in its half of the final
frame.
Trailing throughout the game,
Jal doggedly hounded the Sox
and were never out of conten-
tion until the final out.
Kermit picked up its first tal-
ly in the second frame, making
the most of a double by Royce
Pierce and two passed balls
charged to Jal hurler Tim Rob-
erts.
Another Sox tally came in the
third frame, again aided by an-
other passed ball, to make the
score 2-0 for Kermit.
Homer Spoils Bid
The Sox appeared to be well
on their way to victory as Ken
Mays held Jal scoreless and
hitless for six frames, but a
circuit clout by J. C. Roberts
in the seventh spoiled hopes of a
shutout win — and a no-hitter
The blow moved Jal within
one run of Kermit and two sin
gles in quick succession threat-
ened to push another tally
across, but Mays whiffed the
next two Jal batsmen to end
the inning and preserve the Sox
lead.
Badly in need of some insur-
ance runs, Kermit staged its
final drive in the ninth frame,
bringing in three tallies on
Pierce’s double and a single by
Grover Fyffe.
The rally gave Kermit the
added boost it needed to turn
back a one-run Jal drive in its
half of the final frame.
Double-Play Snuffs Rally
The Gassers were in position
get back into the game with
two runners on base when a
double-play ended the rally and
the game.
Mays received credit for the
win wth an impressive four-hit
performance. Roberts was
charged with the loss.
It was the 15th Kermit tri-
umph against four defeats.
For Mays, it was his fifth
victory against no defeats, giv-
ing him the best mark of any
Sox hurler this year.

to bring in the tying and win-
ning runs, giving the Sports a
7-6 edge over the Lions in Na-
tional loop action at the high
school diamond. Action was
tense throughout the Little loop
twin bill, with the Firebugs
turning hack the Termites for
a 4-2 victory in the nightcap.
A four-run surge in the first
frame got the Lions off to a
head start. Two singles and
a two-bagger by center-fielder
Gary Lewis spearheaded the
first frame drive.
The Lions tallied twice more
in the second frame to go in

of the Lions.
In the fifth frame, the Sports
staged their big push, bringing
in four runs to go ahead and
clinch the win. Skinner pro-
vided the big blow with his
round-tripper with one on.
The Lions threatened in the
sixth, but the rally died with
runners on second and third.
Kapka whiffed two to quelch the
drive.
Kapka was the winning pitch
er and McDougal was charged
with the loss.
In the nightcap, Jerry Ed-
wards went the full route to
gain a 4-2 triumph over the
Termites. The Firebug hurler
fanned five while holding the
'Mites to six safeties.
The ’Bugs led throughout, hut
were constantly in danger of
being overtaken.
The ’Bugs jumped to a one-
in lead in the first frame,
aided by a Termite error and

Termite hurler Cecil Eads
held the ’Bugs scoreless for the
next two frames while his mates
garnered a run in the fourth to
knot the score.

consecutive safeties brought

and fanned three straight bat-
ters to squelch the rally.

progresses in order to allow
each team to play at least one
home game.
The playoff opener will be at
Little League Park at 8 p.m.,
Monday, July 18. An admission
fee will be charged in order to
help cover tournament expense.
Admission will be 50 cents for
adults and 25 cents for stu-
dents, according to D. M.
Mayer, league secretary.
Although the sites for the sec-
ond round cannot be official-
ly determined until the first
round is completed, Mayer said
it is possible Kermit will also
host the second tilt.
If both Monahans and Kermit
win first round tilts, the second
game will be at Little League
Park Tuesday night with the
local All-Stars entertaining Mon-
ahans.
If Kermit falls into the second
bracket by losing to Crane —
and Pecos also loses — it will
play the second game in Pecos.
Valenzuela
Twirls No-Hit
Game in LL Play
Manuel Valenzuela twirled
no-hit ball for four innings to
stop the Red Sox and chalk up
17-0 shutout victory for the
White Sox Thursday night at Lit-
tle League Park. In the night-
cap, the Giants tripped the Yan-
kees 5-1.
Valenzuela held the Red Sox
helpless for four frames while
his mates rolled up a staggering
total of 17 tallies in three
frames. He fanned 10 of the 16
batters he faced before the
game was called in the fourth
inning due to the 10-run lead
rule.
Only once was Valenzuela in
trouble. That was in the third
frame, when he had trouble
finding the strike zone and
walked three rival batsmen. A
Red Sox run would have come
in had not one of the baserun-
ners been retired on a force
play.
While the Red Sox were help-
less before Valenzuela’s mound
artistry, the White Sox rolled
up 17 ’tallies on 14 hits to
shackle the Sox.
L. Moore was the losing hurl-
er.
In the nightcap, another
pitching duel was unreeled, with
the Giants finally taking a 5-1
victory.
Giant hurler Dale Cletcher
limited the Yanks to just three
hits in five innings to gain cred-
it for the victory.
Three rival moundsmen com-
bined to hold the Giants to four
safeties, but wildness proved
their undoing, as most of the
Giant tallies were forced in by
walks.
Cletcher was winning pitcher,
and J. R. Starritt was charged
with the loss.
