TUts Set
Thursday
Three teams in the Men's
Softball League will doge
regular season plky Thursday
night, while the four others
remain in the running for the
1964 loop title.
Currently, Meyersville, West-
iv>ff and York town are knotted
for first place in the standings,
each boasting an 8-3 confer-
ence record. Weesatehe, riding
in fourth place with an 6-4
standing, still has a mathema-
tical! chance to finish in a tie
tor third place.
Tonight's games find Cop-
pedge playing Gulf Coast at
Live Oak Park here, Westhoff
af Mission Valley and Weesat-
rhe at Meyersville. A Weesat-
che win oveT Meyersville
would drop the last-named
team to an 8-4 record, while a
Mission Valley victory over
Westhoff would place the latter
club at tlie same standings
level Should this occur, Mey-
ersville. Westhoff, and York-
town, which is unscheduled this
week, would tie for lead at
M, and Weesatehe at 7-4. Out-
come of the local tilt has no
bearing, standings-wise. n n
the final ratings, since hoth
these clubs . are out of the run
lung for the flag
One other league game,
Vorktown at Weesatehe, is set
for Sep*. 3 and is the last reg-
ular-season tilt booked.
In event of a tie for first
piece at the tclose of the reg-
ular season, a playoffs series,
most likely will be arranged

dred cases, the deal, whether it
be on a minor or major level,
toils down to "win or eke."
Every guy and gal in die land
wants his or her team to win,
with some so insistent in that
demand they care not how you
do it, but win. The guy who
really suffers when ‘his’ time
comes is the manager or coach.
Like any other members of the
human race, they either have
it or they don’t. It h
sometimes that this or that
team comes up the winner in
spite of the skipper, but not of-
ten.
It is that time of the year
though, that major
baseball managers whose chibs
have not been doing so wel be-
gin to look around for new lo-
cations. Some will have little
trouble on this count, but oth-
ers will.
According to one close follow-
er cf baseball, when a club goes
bad. a change has to be made.
And. as one chib owner put It.
"You can’t fhe all the ball
players," so he reaorta to the
next best thing and simply fires
the manager.
Among those who would no*
he too surprised to learn any
day that the ax is sharp for
them, reports state, ate Sam
Mele of the Minnesota Twins
Harry Craft of the Houston
Colts. Alvin Dark of the San
Franeisc* Giants. -T. Keane
of the St. Louis Cardinals, Char-
lie Dressen of the Detroit Tig-
ers and Yogi Berra of the New
York Yankees
There are other reasons far
managerial changes, but by and
large the chief one in all athle-
tic circles is 'Win or Else’
There saw probably not many
folks who wiH follow die Ote-
ro Gobblers to Goliad Friday
night to watch diem scrimmage
against the Goliad Tigers for
the first time this year against
outside opposition, but there’ll
be some. Would wager a
or two that Cornelius Bhmtser,
for one. will be up and down the
sidelines intently watching ev-
ery play. Btuntzer is a moat ar-
dent booster of all Gobbler athle-
tic teams, but his first love is
football, which he played, and
well, during Ms school days at
Quero high.
Friday’s show in Goliad will
be the first of two scrimmage
sessions booked for the Gobb-
lers dm season. It ia possible
others may be canted, but this
isn’t likely since the regular
and they art due to host Plea-
santon hero die night of Septem-
ber 3 for their second scrim-
mage cf die year.
NotMng available in this de-
partment on the last - named
team, but the always - tough Ti-
gers have 14 returning letter-
men. plus a slaeabte number cf
first - year men perform ag-
ainst die feathered crew.
Neither Coach Ford of Cuero
nor Coach Frits Loeffler of Gol-
iad expect to gain anything ex-
cept experience for foslr boys,
but the performance should be
worth the trip if you can't wait
until next week to see for your-
self what dda year’s Gobblers
look like.
Incidentally, die Tigers open
their 1864 season at Yoakum
against die Bulldogs on Sept.
4. and the following week the
Gobblers face the Dogs on the
focal lot. It wfl be interesting
to watch the outcome of these

NEW YORK (ITT) Bob Far
rington and Stanley Dancer
are drawing away from the
pack in their respective bids
to cop the most races won and
money earned titles among the
nation's harness racing drivers.
Farrington leads with 170
triumphs in 795 starts, while
Dancer has amassed $67,005 in

There are 48 foreigners in

| as mostly likely to win the
$35,000 top prire, fifth biggest
in history, were Americans.
Naturally. Jack Nicklaus. the
leading money winner, and Ar-
nold Palmer, runner up in earn-
ings, were the top picks.

. Nirklaus has earned $99,117 -
183 and Palmer $93,743.37. A
victory for either would set a
new earnings record for a pro
j golfer in one year. Palmer set
I the current mark with $128,230
last year.
None of the genuine foreign
I contingent boasts earnings any-
I where near those figures, but
Rodrigue? and Gary Player, a
South African, who play the
U. S. tour regularly, are in the
top ten money winners of the
foreign brigade. Rodrigue?,
from Puerto Rico ranks sev-
