Cross Plains Man
. Recalls Sox Game
CROSS PLAINS, June 17—Jeff
Clark, grocer, remembers back
early to this century when the Chi-
cago White Sox and the Abilene
* Bankers met on the diamond. He
played first base and, as well as
he remembers, the score was 15 to
3 to favor of the White Sox.
“Ed Walsh pitched while Hal
Chase played first,” Clark said.
■ “We bankers had the jitters play-
• Ing with such a galaxy of national
stars. A fellow named Quattlebaum
from down Potosi or Bradshaw way
was our hope on the mound-and
he delivered rather well."
After the game Abilene fans "to
a get even" staged a "badger pulling"
“ at a liverystable on the south side
of the railroad.

SPORTSTUFF
BY BETSY ROSS
HURST LT. JOE DURHAM, Air Base fighter squadron instructor, Sat-
F urday scored the Country club course front nine with a 4-under par 31.
Durham’s 31 to one of very few scored over the Country club and his
is more astonishing than some of the past because he has played about
twice a month the past six months.
Leonard White shot a 31 last year on a practice round prior to the
tournament and Morgan Hampton has carded a 29, closest approach to
J. T. Hammett’s 3*.
Durham was never over par, had four birdies and tried a 12-foot putt
on No. 1 for an eagle. His figures:
Par out: 544

after flying tw. years with the Eagle squadron of the RAF. He was
one of the first United States pilots to join the RAF. One of his
close friends in those days was Lt. Tommy Donohoe, now a P-51
Mustang pilot overseas.
Durham transferred to the American Air Force in England and was
sent to Africa, where he flew for a year before coming home. He has the
air medal with three clusters.
A native of Fort Smith, Ark., he is acquainted with Frank Stiedle,
who played quite a bit of golf around Fort Smith. Stiedle is as well
known in Abilene as in his native Hot Springs, having won the Invita-
tional tournament two years ago and played in it last year.
Durham hopes to be able to play in the tournament July 1-4 and he
will add class to the field if he is.
If Dorothy Mae Bundy in time becomes the national women’s tennis
champion, and events certainly indicate she is leading up, but rapidly,
to that goal, she will be probably
the first descendant of a top-rank-
ing tennis star to attain equal fame.
Chubby little Miss Bundy, who
toppled queen Pauline Bets to the
surprise of everyone, Including Miss
Bets, in the National clay courts
tournament, is the daughter of
Frederick Bundy and the former
May Button, both nationally ranked
stars in their day.
"Their day" is placed by this pic-
ture of May Sutton Bundy when she
was at her peak, in the era when
playing skirts any shorter than just
above the shoetops were considered
daring indeed.

THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS
LT. (1g) H. W. SHULTS
McMurry Athlete
Home On Leave
Lt. (jg) H. W. Shults, son of Mr
and Mrs. J. J. Shults of May, has
been overseas for ten months, six
of which were spent patrolling the
Solomn Island area as co-pilot on
a PB1.
A former McMurry college foot-
ball star and coach for the Roby
football and basketball squad. Lieu-
tenant Shults arrived home last
week on leave after being back in
the states since May 18.
He enlisted in the Naval Air Force
Nov. 28, 1941, and was commissioned
at Corpus Christi in December, 1942.
Overseas he was first stationed to
the Russell Islands for three months
and then moved to the Treasury is-
lands the next three months, oper-
ating out of Munda and Bougan-
ville to bomb air strips at Buka and
Bonis on the northwest tip of Bou-
gainville. He flew patrol most of
the time and his plane was respon-
sible for damaging two Jap submar-
ines.
He tells one of those funny inci-
dents with an ironic twist that so
often happens to fighting men.
Their plane was bombing a landing
barge near the ahore line of enemy
territory. Machine gun fire from the
beach sent a bullet through the
turret gunner’s shoe.
"Only damage done was a blood
blister on his toe,” Lieutenant
Shults said.
That was the only casualty
aboard the plane during his over-
seas service the flier said.
Lieutenant Shults was graduated
from Rising Star high school and
McMurry college where he majored
to business administration.

For months the word "Invasion"
has been popping up in the news
like a seal in a rain barrel. Al-
though everyone had been expect-
ing the invasion at any hour—when
it became a fact it was as much of
a shock as plunging into ice cold
water. Words alone could not ex-
press the depth of feeling experienc-
ed by everyone — and there was a
strange lump in the throat that
was hard to explain. Since then,
events have piled up with such ra-
pidity that the world is still catch-
ing its collective breath. Yes, we’ve
just lived through some of the most
exciting days that ever placed their
brand on this war-torn earth and
the one day we can look forward
to with genuine enthusiasm is H-

Candidate for County Judge
TAYLOR COUNTY
TO ALL VOTERS OF TAYLOR COUNTY:
As a candidate for the office of County Judge of this county,
I hsve found that due to prevailing conditions it is extremely diffi-
cult to see each voter personally, under such circumstances as
would admit of an intensive, personal political campaign. This I
believe the people know and appreciate Therefore I take this
method of contacting the voters and appealing for their support, in
addition to my efforts to see them personally
I feel it proper and expedient to let the people know how I
feel about some of the more important matters that have to do
with the County Judges office.
<1) I believe in good roads and highways and will use my best
efforts to maintain and develop our program to this regard.
(3) I believe to economy to business end to government, and
pledge myself to work to keep taxes down, keep expenditures with-
in bounds, maintain safe fund balances, and at the same time
‘ furnish the services customarily rendered and which are expected
and required by e progressive people.
(3) Any former County Judge of Taylor County will admit that
Juvenile Delinquency is one of the most serious and important
problems with which the County court has to deal. I do not
claim to have ell the answers, nor to be able to furnish an exact
and sure remedy to all delinquency cases that might come before
me as County Judge, but in former years I have had teaching
and school administrative experience here in our own county, u
principal of Tye High School and of Locust Street School in Abi-
lene. I have children of my own I have done child wer-
fare work in this community for many years I will do my best with
such juvenile cases as come before me as County Judge, If elected.
(4) The office of County Judge is a Judicial as well as an ad-
ministrative post. The County Judge must preside over the Com-
missioners Court, try Criminal Cases, Civil cases. Juvenile cases.
Probate cases involving wills and administration of estates, and
also land condemnation suits. In all trials he must pen upon
many questions of evidence, law end facts. T feel that my fifteen
years practice of law in this county will be of greet value in passing
on these matters. i
I appeal for your active support to my campaign; and thank-
ing you to the premises. I am
sincerely yours,
