Combination That
Shows Promise
Recreation club took a six-run
lead in the first half of the first
inning last night in their game
with International Harvester,
and was never headed to go on
to score an 8 to 6 victory over
the International crew.
The combination for which
Manager Wesley Whitman had
sought all season finally clicked
to register the first victory of
the season for the athletic crew.
Looked Dangerous
It looked as if the Recreation
team would repeat its eight pre-
vious performances of the year
last night, when they began to
lose the lead they had taken in
the first inning. Five of the pre-
vious eight games found the
club in the lead until the last
two innings of play, when they

Sweetwater Girls
Short Of Players
But Take Exhibition
Young-Starrs won one and
lost one last night in games of
the Sweetwater Softball Recrea-
tion loop, forfeiting their sche-
duled game to Busby when only
eight players showed up for the
contest, and defeating Busby in
an exhibition game with two ad-
ded players, <J to 2.
Young-Starrs has one of the
better ciubs in the league. Callo-
way is a steady and effective
pitcher, and the fieldwork of
the club is good, while the
hitters are leading the loop.
Busby Fails To Hit
Busby was no match for the
Young-Starr lassies, getting only
four nits to score two runs,
while Lewis, Busby hurler, was
alowing five hits and 9 runs.
Roscoe went farther into the
lead with the forfeited game by
Young-Sarrs, who were runners-
up. J iu.sby received credit for the
first loop victory, and will have
a good chance to advance into
the contending position.

International made a desner-

Two unusually good games
are in prospect tonight in the
Sweetwater Softball Recreation
loop, with Blackwell meeting
Nolan Furniture in the open-
er in the girls division, and
Gulf tangling with Sunbeam in
the finale.
Nolan Furniture and Black
well will be meeting for the first
time this year. Both clubs are
pointing for the contest. Nolan
has a capable club, and after
their first shaky start against
Roscoe, they have settled down
to being a contender. Blackwell
lias not seen action I lie last two
weeks, having been engaged in
closing school activities.

Comes vacation time, and our
good friend Billy Hudgins moves
over to the proof reading desk
. . . which gives the flunky a
chance to get off the bench . . .
First off, we are glad to see the
interest perking up in the ladder
tourney play . . Also glad to see
the golfers are getting the habit
of turning in their scores, even
in match play. That's what
makes a good game, publicity
of actual play. Keep it up, fel-
lers, and it will be appreciated
