■pee the season closed last fall.
They won’t have to wait much
longer. Next Sunday is the dead
line for sponsors to get their
entries in the Sweetwater soft
ball league for play this summer
As the deadline nears, spon
sors are looking for players, play
ers are worrying about suits
gloves and such, and the pub-
lic is looking forward to the
grand opening with considerably
more interest than it did last
year.
The man on the street is an-
xious to hear the umpire calling
out the balls and strikes. He
wants to see the ball flash over
the plate, hear the smack of the
bat, watch the outfielders try-
ing to snag the old pill, see the
batter racing around the bases.
While the man on the street
is talking about prospects, spon-
sors are lining up men for teams,
players are digging gloves, shoes,
suits and balls out of closets and
limbering the old throwing’arm.
the Lions club softball commit-
tee continues with plans to hold
the grand opening somewhere
about. June 1.
Committees within the com-
mittee have been named and are
at work on plans for the sea-
son.
The ball park has been turned
over to Boy Scouts in the Lions-
Club-sponsored troop and they
are to clear the field of weeds,
restore net backstops, lay off the
diamond ,and otherwise put the
field in playing shape. Grand-
stand wiii be repaired as needed
Games will be scheduled for
‘four nights per week. Men’s and
women’s divisions are planned.
Last year there were six teams
of men and four of women.
Sponsors expect as many teams
this year as last, with the pro-
bability that one or two teams
from other towns will add in-
terest to the competition.

Not Shunted Around
In Standings
By UNITED PRESS
Trying to keep up vith the
Texas league standings Monday
was like trying to watch eight
snow flakes in a blizzard.
Only one team kept its path
straight in the zigzag storm—
Houston was seven games ahead
of the madly hunched field.
Oklahoma City climbed back
into the hotly disputed second
•place with a 3 to 1,2 to 1. double-
header triumph over Dallas Sun-i
duv that dropped the Rebels;
from fourth place to the cellar.
Stan Gold held the Rebels to|
eight bits in the opener, with
Lloyd Rigby driving in Patti
Easterling for the only Dallas
run. Easterling humored in the
second inning of the nightcap
for Dallas’, lone run, and Gor-
don Donaldson of Oklahoma
City connected with one on in
the sixth to put all the second
game scoring on a homerun ba-
sis.
Houston blasted Shreveport.,
II to 2 and li to I, to put the
Sports in third place. Fred Mar-
tin pitched eight-hit ball in the
opener arid Howard Pullet won
the nightenpt on four-hit hurl-
ing.
