Mickey Mantles win 4-0,
next stop state play-offs
4iit-
By JIM BARDWELL
Sports Editor
TERRELL - While Greenville and Dallas’ Salvation Army bat-
tle it oat tonight to see who gets to go to the state Mickey Mantle
' play-offs in Part Worth, Sulphur Springs will be packing their bags
Mto gassing ap the cars. Sulphur Springs blanked the Dallas based
leant 44 Wednesday night in a no error contest to take the top
‘ honors in the Terrell League of Mickey Mantle baseball competi-
S’pm.
Behind a fine pitching performance by Bobby Beck and superior
defemsre playing by the Sulphur Springs infield and outfield, the
Satphnr Springs boys took a two run advantage in the third frame of
' the game and never gave up their pursuit of the number one title. A
couple of done ah in the second and fourth stanzas of the contest
_ jffnaet proved enough to give the Dallas club a chance to tie the
game ap, bat with a Richard Glaess throw from home to second to
atop a steal and a Randy Cooper third base grab, all of Dallas’
' hopes were shattered. 4
Another Dallas attack was crushed as David Bowman saved a
possible Dallas single when he charged from far left field to snag a
dropping fly ball between second base and centerfield for out
numbs r one in the top of the sixth. Beck followed that up, as he did
imt of the night, with near perfect pitching which cut the comer of
(he plate time after time for out number two and three.
The game made its way down to the top of the seventh with
Solphnr Springs holding a 4-0 lead and Dallas at bat. The first
. Dallas batter hit s hard grounder to first for out number one and
„* then the second batter managed to get on base with a little blooper
. to right field. Dallas’ base runner stole second and then advanced
to third on an overthrow, leaving one out on the books and a possi-
, bie scoring run standing on third.
The third batter to the (date found Beck’s pitching too much to
handle and went down swinging, but as he took his third swing at
. file ball, Dallas’ third base runner lunged off third and looked for a
minute like he was going to steal home. Catcher Glaess quickly got
a handle on the ball and fired the leather covered shere to Randy
Cooper who was waiting at third. Cooper made the grab and ran the
Dallas runner down for out number three and the ball game.
It was a fitting way to end a tight ball game that saw Beck pit-
ching a two-hitter and Sulphur Springs gaining five hits with four
runs on 27 times at the plate.
Dallas’ Salvation Army found two hits, with no runs crossing the
plate on 23 times at bat.
Hitting in the Sulphur Springs victory were Jeff Griggs with a
double and Geary Almon with two singles. Dale Thompson and
David Bowman added a single each to the Sulphur Springs hitting
game.
“We didn’t make any errors and that is what won the game for
us,” said Coach George Bell. “The boys played a tougher Dallas
bunch than we had played before, but they were ready and they did
a great job.”
The scene continues tonight as Greenville and Dallas must play
one more match to see who will accompany Sulphur Springs to Fort
Worth as the number two team from the Terrell League.
Sulphur Springs’ first opponent in state competition will be Fort
Worth’s number one contender. The contest is set for 7 p.m. Friday
at Rockwood Park.
The Park is located on University Drive in Fort Worth. To get
there — go through Dallas and take Interstate-20 (the old D-FW
turnpike) to the University Drive exit. Turn right off of 1-20 and
travel to University Drive until you cross the river, then turn left,
into Rockwood Park.
The road gets even rougher for the Sulphur Springs team, which
is sponsored by Speciality Foods, as they must now go up against
the best teams in the state. Fortunately, they are one of the best
teams in the state, or they would not have made it this far, and with
fan support, like that Wednesday night, the team should have
everything going for them.
Take a drive to Fort Worth,Friday evening, it will be well worth
your time, as the Sulphur Springs team tries to take their winning
ways all the way to the top.
Mickey would be proud
Sulphur Springs' Mickey Mantles are making their way to the
top of the baseball competition with wins far out weighing
losses. They are currently sporting a 12-2 record and will com-
pete in the state tournament Friday in Fort Worth. Pictured
are: (front) David Bowman, Bobby Beck, Gerald Bell and Dale
Thompson; (back row) Richard Glaess, Jett Griggs, Sam
Johnson, Geary Almon and Randy Cooper. Not pictured are
Scott Johnson, Rodney Burns, Mickey Moss and Paul Lindley.
George Bell is the coach.
National sports
festival underway
COLORADO SPRINGS, (Mo.
. (AP) — The National Sports
Festival la an idea wbose time
has came, according to officials
of the UiL Olympic Committe,
although as late as a month ago,
• an idea was all it was.
But following a modest open-
ing ceremony Wednesday night,
waigirtition began today in 18
Okywfic sports at the Air Force
Academy to the north and
Pashto to the south in the
. jnaagral National Sports Fes-
. tival.
In only four weeks, the games
were organtoed at the new
. USOC training center here,
v totes selected and prepared and
commitments received from
more than 2,100 athletes.
.. i Airline seaU.a^S at a pre-
mam until next Tuesday; hotel
noma me booked solid for 30
miles arotnd the dty. For
transportation of the athletes,
charter buses, tour buses,
school buses and even church
buses have been appropriated.
The logistics of it were stag-
gering, and in many cases it
shows how hastily the festival
was put together.
In basketball, for example,
the festival committee failed to
ask soon enough to get the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Asso-
ciation to waive restrictions on
its athletes participating in
summer play. The result is a
somewhat unsatisfactory com-
bination of high school, junior
college and small college pros-
pects.
Many of the top track and
field performers are in Europe
this week.
Although many of the coun-
try’s top amateur athletes are
here, it’s also true that in most
events, there aren’t enough of
them to go around, to insure
Olympic calibre competition.
“It’s no mystery who is going
to win a lot of the events,” said
one coach, who did not wish to
be identified. “But who will fin-
ish is another matter.”
The quality of competition
suffered a bit even on the eve of
the festival as it was announced
that the Amateur Athletic
Union’s heavyweight boxing
champion, Greg Page, decided
now was the time to turn
professional and top figure
skater Lisa-Marie Allen pulled
out with a broken toe.
Records may or may not be
broken in the process, but offi-
cials hope it’s the start of a tra-
dition of unified competition
that will bring the country and
its athletes a sense of pride in
their amateur sports.
