After going through the entire
season undefeated until the teat
game of the second half of the
split schedule, Blakeney’s softball
team dropped a close one to the
County 2-1 Monday night, but re-
mained at the top of the heap as
the season closed with Tuesday
night’s bill.
Blakeney’s loss was attributed to
the fact that all but four of the
regular players were attending the
high school football camp near
Rock Church and were not here for
the final game.
The County and the Gas Com-
pany tied for second place in the
last half of the schedule, Western
Auto and the Grocers tied for third,
the Hospital was fourth, the High-
way placed fifth and the Scouts
sixth.
Successful Season
A successful season was con-
cluded Tuesday night, both from a
financial standpoint and from bene-
fits derived from the summer’s
play by the individual players and
by the fans. This was the first
year Stephenville has conducted a
softball tournament, or league, and
results indicate that better games
and more even competition will be
on the 1938 schedule. In addition
to the flood lights, bleachers will be
provided for the fans at the out-
set of the season and the ground
improved generally.
Many games have been played
with out-of-town teams this year,
with some played in Stephenville
and others away from home. The
local teams, especially the girls,
gave good exhibitions and are ex-
pected to be still stronger next
year.
The last half of the split season
ended with the following standings:

a V * d-nt marked improvements and changes
that city. Samuel Ogams student ^ have ^ wrouffht on thia
property over a period of seventeen
years. It was virtually a virgin
wilderness of sand piles when
Wolfe took it over and when he
announced his plans many were
quick to say he was “crazy”, “am-
bitious”, “gone wild on pecans”,
etc. The facts proves that the nur-
sery has been profitable over a
period of years and today repre-
sents an investment of many thous-
and of dollars.
All visitors who attended the
party Tuesday were free in their
praise of Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe and
their wonderful children for the
generous air of hospitality that
existed. Likewise, the attendants
were courteous and in every way
sought to take care of the wishes
of those who came to view the pre-
mises.
But again it is advised—go see
the Wolfe Nursery; it wil be well
worthy of anyone’s time.
