Maulers Beat
Clifton 7-2
To Win Title
Before what is believed to be
the largest crowd ever to witness
a baseball game in Bosque ^ounty,
the Meridian Maulers defeated the
Clifton team 7-2 Monday night to
win the championship of the 1947
Meridian Baseball Tournament.
Approximately one thousand fans
saw the contest, with over 800
paid admissions.
The Maulers had eliminated De
Leon last Friday night to go into
the finals with Clifton, after De
LstfJThad eliminated Weatherford
the previous night.
The final game was hard-fought
but clean throughout and a much
more interesting contest than the
score would indicate.
Clifton scored in the second
inning by capitalizing on an er-
ror, and held a 1-0 lead until the
fifth, when the Maulers tied the
score. Ingram, who had been
pitching his heart out to keep the
MaUler wrecking-crew well in
check, weakened in the seventh
and when the inning finally closed
after two other Clifton hurlers
had been sent to the mound, the
Maulers were out in front 7 to 1.
Clifton's second tally came in a
rally in the final stanza.
The Mauler line-up was compos-
ed, with the exception of Hal
Gill, of Stephenville and Waco
players who have been with Me-
ridian most all the season, with
Carl Jarl, Baylor pitching star, on
the mound.
At the conclusion of the con-
test, trophies were awarded, and
W. C. Perry, president of the Me-
ridian Chamber of Commerce, pre-
sented Manager Cotton Dorman
with the winner's $150 cash
| award, and gave $50 in greenbacks
to E. B. Harris, of the Clifton
team.
The second annual tournament
brought in visitors from many mil-
es distant as the 22 teams origin-
ally entered played through the
eliminations, and the managers
; deserve credit for its successful
i sponsorship.
S<m®T JAtrK PLANS to
MAKE HIS RODEO
CALF A GOOD ONE
Bobby Jack Perry of Meridian
caught one of the calves in the
Bear Club Rodeo calf scramble,
and he plans to "make a good
alf out of the heifer" he wrote
oldstein-Migel Co., donors of this
articular animal.
Bobby is 14 years old, is in the
enth grade, and likes to deal
with livestock, he writes. He's
been raising registered rabbits for
several years and also has had
several sheep.
"I'm really proud of my calf"
wrote Bobby, "I'll send you a pic-
Lure of it some time soon. I
bought a nurse cow for it, and it
eating good. I think it is do-
ng fine."
He says "You will be hearing birds

TOURNAMENT TROPHY
WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Leading Batter: Hal Gill,
who hit safely 8 times in 13
trips at bat for an average of
.615.
Leading pitcher: Cullen In-
gram, who has pitched in all
of Clifton's 4 games, winning
3 and losing 1. Ingram's rec-
ord follows: Allowed 22 hits,
hit one batsman, struck out
48, issued 11 bases on balls
and had 10 runs scored on
him.
The most valuable player
award went to McAlester, the
slugging De Leon outfielder,
who was called in from the
outfield to finish pitching
three of De Leon's four gam-
es. McAlester collected 3
singles, 4 triples, and 1 home
run, making 8 hits in 20 trips,
for a batting average of .400,
at the same time batting in 7
runs. He handled 16 chances
with 1 error, for a fielding
average of .937, and struck
out 33 opposing batters, as a
relief hurler.
The most spectacular catch
was awarded to Billy Warren,
Meridian Shoe Cobbler" out-
fielder. The fans who saw
the Cobblers play Hillsboro
will recall the play in the last
of the 7th, none out, score
6-4 Hillsboro. Bryant, the
Hillsboro pitcher, led off With
one to deep left field that
looked good for at least 3
bases. Warren took off at
the crack of the bat, and run-
ning full speed, directly with
the ball, stretched his full
length and made a beautiful
catch over his right shoulder,
very near the light pole in
deep left field.
Turkey Price Support
Hailed as Good Start,
Higher Level Needed
Announcement of the new tur-
key price support program was
hailed Saturday by turkey grow-
ers and specialists as a "good
start" and "fine," although some
observers felt that a higher sup-
port level was needed and that as
the season progresses prices and
the support price schedule would
move upward in line with rising
prices of feed grains, says The
Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
Turkey processors in Fort
Worth reported there were nearly
60,000,000 pounds of turkey in
frozen storage at last reports and
that during the past month only
12,000,000 pounds were consum-
ed. Faced with this carry-over
and current relatively light con-
sumption, even though turkey
prices are favorable compared
with other meats, processors saw
the support program as likely to
hasten the marketing of many
from me during the year."

George P. McCarthy, Fort
Worth turkey specialist, stated
that most of the industry felt
turkey prices would move higher
and that doubtless more light-
weight birds would be marketed
early. "The overall meat outlook
appears to be favorable for the
winter months," McCarthy said.
"The industry expects the turkeys
in storage to be moved out quick-
ly to make room for the new
crop." 0

Final Payment Made
On School Allotments
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction L. A. Woods has an-
nounced final ^payment on sup-
plemental pet®, capita apportion-
ments for Testis public schools.
Warrants representing $4 per
capita and Staling $6,003,800
were released. The total was bas-
hed on the j^fholastic census of 1,-
500,950 s|#&ents as of June 9,
Woods saiq.
Mr. and: Mrs. G. W. Duncan
/ere in Fjjrt Worth last week-end,
and werfc^accompanied home by
I Little Billy Duncan, who had been
spending several weeks in a school
near that place.
Ex-service men seeking to cash
their terminal leave bonds throng-
ed Bosque county banks Tuesday
and Wednesday, and the banks
were ready, and like all others
throughout the state, were kept
busy handling the transactions.
It is estimated that probably
$300,000 worth of'terminal leave
bonds are held by Bosque county
veterans. The estimate is based
on 1500 veterans holding an aver-
age of $200 each. What portion
of this amount has been or will be
cashed could not be approximated.
The estimate of the number of
Texas veterans likely to convert
their terminal pay into cash varies
from 60 to 90 per cent of the
727,000 total. If 60 per cent
cash them, $55,000,000 will be
paid. If 90 per cent cash them,
the total would be $80,000,000.
Bosque county merchants can
expect business activity in the
next few weeks will show an up-
ward surge as a result of the bond
money being pumped into the
avenues of trade.
Officials of the Veterans Ad-
ministration and bankers both
state they would like to encour-
age veterans to hold their bonds
if possible, since they not only
give the GI a savings account for
a "rainy day," but also adds to his
account in the form of 2% per
cent interest.
The V eterans Administration
advises veterans to have the origi-
nal copy of their discharge or
separation papers with them, as
banks otherwise would not be
permitted to cash the bonds. Al-
so since Sept. 1 the bonds may be
cashed any time in the future, and
unless the money is needed now,
it is not necessary that veterans
crowd the banks at this time.

MRS. BETTYE ERICKSON
EXPRESSES THANKS FOR
KINDNESS OF FRIENDS
Mrs. Bettye Lou Erickson,
polio victim who is compelled
to spend much of her time in
an iron lung, sends the fol-
lowing word of appreciation
to her many kind friends:
Hello, Everybody!
I've been home for two
weeks and I want to take this
way to say "thank you" to my
many friends for making it a
wonderful home-coming.
This past Sunday the Bap-
tist Women's Sunday School
Class showered me with many
lovely and useful gifts. To
me it was a big surprise and a
very happy one.
The Baptist and Methodist
churches joined together to
send me a money offering, a
total of $90.00. This, too,
was a big surprise and a wel-
come one.
There have been numerous
bouquets of lovely flowers
and scores of welcome visi-
tors. God has been very
good to give me so many true
friends, and I want to send
each and everyone of them a
sincere and happy thank-you.
Mrs. BETTYE L. ERICKSON.
We wish to join Bettye in
saying "Thanks," also.—El-

Last Rites Held for
A. J. Myers, Jr., at
Local Funeral Home
Funeral services for A. J. My-
ers, Jr., who met death at .Seguin
last Thursday, August 28, were
held at the Brister Funeral Home
here last Friday afternoon, con-
ducted by Rev. Cecil McBeth,
pastor of Meridian Baptist church,
assisted by Rev. C. Y. Butler, pas-
tor of Meridian Methodist church.
A large gathering of friends
and relatives attended the service.
Beautiful music was rendered by
a group of local singers. Inter-
ment was in Meridian Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Joe Sheppard,
F. R. Odle, Sim Baxter, Moran
Dunlap, J. T. Lomax and T. W.
Porter.
Deceased was born in Morgan,
March 10, 1908, a son of the late
C. E. Myers and Mrs. Ada Moffeit
Myers. He was well-known in
Meridian, having been reared
here, and attended both public
school and college here.
He was employed by the Texas
State Highway Department for 18
years, and during the war was re-
leased by the Highway Depart-
ment to work for the U.S. Gov-
ernment as an airport engineer.
He was operating his own busi-
ness in Seguin at the time of his
death.
He joined the Baptist church in
Meridian at aboUt 13 years old,
and called for his letter to join
the Yoakum church two years ago.
He is survived by his mother,
of Meridian; a sister, Mrs. D. L.
Adams of Brady; two brothers,
Rex Myers of Pasadena, and Mor-
an Myers, of Waco; two nephews
and three nieces.
The entire community joins in
sympathy for the bereaved ones.
The Guadalupe Gazette-Bul-
letin, published at Seguin, printed
the following story relative to
the deplorable tragedy in which
Mr. Myers met death:
"Abraham Jacob Myers, 39,
Seguin cafe operator, (Steak
House, on Highway 90, at east
edge of the city), shot and killed
himself here Wednesday night at
midnight, after first shooting his
wife with a shot gun at close range
and firing a shot that missed at
his 12-year-old stepdaughter.
"Sheriff Phil Medlin and De-
puty Chas. Grimm answered the
call and made the investigation,
and Justice of the Peace Herbert
Forshage, after an inquest, re-
turned the verdict of suicide and
attempted murder.
"The authorities reconstructed
the activities leading up to the
shooting in this manner:
"The wife and her two children,
a boy of 15 and a girl of 12, had
gone to the show, and for a drive
to the lake. Returning home at
midnight, they could not gain ad-
mittance, and returned to the car
to depart. The statement says
Myers then rushed from the place,
opened the back door of the car
and poured a shot gun charge in-
to Mrs. Myers, which struck her
full in both legs as she huddled
to avoid the blast. He then re-
turned to the place, fired a shot
through the cafe window at the
daughter who was running away,
and then emptied a charge into
his left breast, dying almost at
once. The girl was not harmed.
The mother is in the Seguin hos-
pital."
Mr. and Mrs. Bon Chiles, of
Fort Worth, were week-end visi-
tors with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Gilmore, and his moth-
er, Mrs. H. E. Chiles.
