homer to pitcher Ed Mathis in the
fourth.
Art Britten came on and got by
one inning, but in the sixth he
was battered and Bill Britten fi-
nally got the side out, but only
after Hedley had scored 11 runs.
Hedley’s final two runs in the
eighth were largely the result of
wildness by Bill Britten who was
pitching in a league game for the
first time this season.
Though Groom hit well enough
to win ordinarily, most of the hits
came after the game was already
lost. Don Ritter and Dick Hixson
were again the most effective of
the Groom hitters; Ritter with
two doubles, and Hixson with a
double and a single. These hits
drove in half of the Groom runs.
Hedley will come to Groom
Sunday, and it will be do-or-die
for the locals. A loss Sunday
would give the championship to
Hedley, but a win would necessi-
tate a third game, which would
be played at Clarendon, a neu-
tral field.
Game time Sunday will be 3
P.M., and a large crowd is ex-
pected. This will be the last local
appearance of the Groom team
this season. The Groom club has
had the best season’s record of
any local postwar team.

Much red tape was to follow.
Though Frau von Bronneck was
a woman of means in her own
Vienna, with holdings in England,
she was not allowed to bring any
money with her. Her trip is not
a money-making project, for she
has money. It is merely to pay
her expenses to and from the
United States.
Through Mrs. Little, invitations
were extended Renee from the
president of the Texas Federation
of Womens Clubs, and from the
Seventh District clubs. The Texas
club women were particularly in-
terested in bringing Renee to the
