Like the San Antonio Bullets,
the 1965 Turkey Trotters if they

The ekib tills writer has fol-
lowed more closely (in person'
than any other the past several
months was the Cuero Turkey
Trotters, made up of a group of
fellows who played the game
solely tor the pleasure derived
therefrom. There could not
possibly have been any mem-
ber o< the organization who de-
rived any financial benefit in
the operation. It would have
been impossible for those hardy
souls who had the energy, time,
patience and guts to keep the
club going to pass out any fin-
ancial rewards.
Trotter officials had a hal'd
enough time paying for bats,
balls, lights for night games,
umpires, park rental and trans-
portation. Even harder some-
times, was trying to induce a 1
large enough number of play-
ers to field a team. It is no pie- j
me believe me. to go to the
game site knowing pretty well
that all the fellows on the ros-
ter would not be on hand when
the Ump called for the game to
begin. Some absences were un-
avoidable,’ otliers justified, but
there were times when a play-
er did not show because lie did f
not feel like it. But, all were j
amateurs and under nothing ot- j
her than a verbal agreement to !
practice or play when the time
came. So. what leeour-e does \
rhe team manager have in such !
a situation?
As a group, the 1%I Trotter 1
were a pretty loyal group, but!
