the Trotters bowled over both
these clubs, winning from Mc-
Faddin 4-0 and from Halletts-
ville 16 to 7.
Cuero plans on using John
Schmidt on the mound Saturday
it was not known here Thursday
whether or not he would be
available for duty. However,
both Emmitt Blackwell and Joe
Gibbs indicated they would be
on hand if needed for hurling
chores All three of these boys
are capable performers and all
are capable of going the dis-
tance.
There seems to be some con-
fusion as to the season record
of the Trotters, with some ob-
servers claiming that the Cu-
ero club stands at 12-2-1.” while
others contend the local club
is 13-2-1. Both sides contend
mat the Trotters dropped gam-
!es to the Victoria Eagles and
the Corpus Christi Eagfes and
! had a game halted by rain with
I the Yoakum Bulldogs here
j while the score was tied 2-2 in
the seventh inning.
I At present, the Trotters are
not at full strength. Lawrence
j Stratmann, one of the four pit-
i cbers they started with at the
' beginning of the season, is now
employed in Sar. Antoiuo, after
he was informed by a quartet
of doctors that his arm is no

Yours truly, the good wife, a-
long with Bunny Prause and his
equally good wife, were among
the more than several Cuero-
ites who were in Luling Tuesday
night to witness a LltUe League
playoff game between the Cu-
ero All-Stars and the New Bra-
unfels All-Stars.
Naturally , I was impressed
with what I witnessed-parti-
cularly the score board at the
close of the affair. Some fellow
had atatched Ifl runs. In front of.
or behind, if you prefer, Cuero
and a horse collar for the Comal
county residents.
Was also impressed with the
all-around performance of both
teams. Personally, I had to at-
tain the age of 37 before I was
able to field a ground ball clean-
ly or hit an unquestionable base
knock. Was always afraid I’d
get one of those grounders In
the kisser or have one of the op-
posing pitchers smack me in
the noggin with a fast ball.
Know full well this was not a
healthy attitude If I ever aspir-
ed to make a success as a base-
baller. q
It was apparent that none of
the small fry who appeared In
Tuesday night’s tussle In lad-
ing were of the same nature.
There was no Little League
bade in the Dark Ages when I
played high school baseball,
but our side did have a team.
Got a position on same because
there were not enough interes-
ted kids in school at that time
to fill all the positions a normal
dub has, and it was a proposi-
tion of taking me or nothing.
Have wondered since whether
or not the coaches under whom
I performed made a wise de-
cision.
Isn’t it peculiar how a fellow
gets to talking about himself
rather than some other guys
little boy?
To get back to the Tuesday
ball game at Luling, I'll give
odds that the papr’s of Roy Cu-
sack, who pasted a round trip-
per over the right field wall,
and Larry Smith, who stroked
a three bagger, had a pleasant
talk with himself upon retiring.
And I can’t begin to presume
that Ottie Gib’s folks dropped
into deep slumber without a
hearty chuck!
Cuero Little League
To Play Friday Night
....
Cuero Little League officials
plan to be in Luling tonight
(Thursday) when a reputedly
stout Brenham team is sche-
duled to take on the All-Star
team from the Tri-City area of
Columbus, Weimar and Schul-
enburg
Winner of this game is to
meet the Cuero All-Stars in the
District 13 playoff, with the win-
ner of the above-named contest
to face the Cuero group 1A-Lul-
ing Friday night at 8 M’clodt
In a Tuesday night affair,
Cuero gained the right to meet
the winner of Thursday iflgbt’a
game, by blanking New Braun-
fels 10-0 before an overflow
crowd.
According to the present sche-
dule, winner of the District IS
crown will play the District •
champions in Luling August 1.

ber of the Cuero crew had reas-
on to lose sleep over the exhibi-
tion turned In by the local club.
Only hope is that they will be
able to continue their good play
in future games.
But speaking of future games,
there are conflicting reports a-
bout when the local group plays
next. Some say it’ll be Thurs-
day night, while others emphat-
ically state they will not appear
on the diamond agai muitil Fri-
day night. All statements are
official, but a body is at a loss
to know which ’official’ state-
ment to believe. Only thing I
am reasonably assured of is
that the contest will be played
in Luling.
Did get the info that the Cu-
ero Turkey Trotters match pro-
wess, brawn and brain against

day night in the sefond game
between these dubs this season.

! NEW YORK —<UPD- Impul-
sive J:»hitny Blanchard says he
i might quit right on the spot ir
! the Yankees ever deal him.
"Even the thought of leaving
I this club makes me positively
j nauseous." he says straight out.
A lot of players say they d
quit; few do. Blanchard might
He's impetuous and unpredict-
able enough to do it.
Right now though, he doesn t
have to worry about that even-
tually because he happens to
be the hottest hitter on the club.
He has ripped four home runs
in the last three games and his
four runs batted in against the
Angels Wednesday paced the
Yankees to their sixth straight
victory’.
Creates Nlee Problem
Blanchard’s heavy hitting
since he came off the bench
on July 7 will create a problem
for manager Ralph Houk Fn-
day. That's wh.-n Roger Maris
is due back in right field and
what will he do with Blan-
chard? .
••I’ll make that decision when
I come to it” Houk says. "If
Blanchard stays this hot 111
find a place for him some-
whero.*
Blanchard's days with the
Yankees appeared to be num-
bered around the June 15 trad-
ing deadline. Somehow he
wasn't dealt off. chiefly because
the Yanks couldn’t get much
value for him.
So he was shunted farther
down the bench and almost for-
gotten until Maris was forced
to the sidelines with an injury.
Then Johnny got what could
have been his last chance and
he has been pasting the ball at
a .326 clip since.
Could Be Regular
Blanchard undoubtedly would
be a regular with other clubs
j in the majors
I thought
and it
Had he
alx>ut it?
•Yeah." he said,
makes me nauseous.”
Along with Blanchard, south-
paw Whitey Ford turned in his
12th straight victory and 16th
of the season.
“What's the world record tor
the most straight victories?”
laughed Ford, who tired and
gave way t oHal Reniff in the
eighth.
Told it .vas 19, Whitel lau-
ghed again and said:
-I don’t think I'll make it.’
CORRECTION
It was erroneously reported
by this newspaper that Steve
Williams of the Cuero Little
League team hit a triple in the
5th inning of foe game with
New Braunfels in Luling Tues-
day night.
The boy who hit the extra-
base Wow was Larry Smith in-
stead.
Such error is acknowledged
and a correction is necessary
and due.
