KERRVILLE DOWNS
WHITE SOX 7-5
In a windblown, dusty game at
Bower Field Sunday, the Kerr-
ville ball team won out over the
White Sox by a two run margin
to take over 2nd place in league
standing. Despite the weather it
was a close ball game-all the way
as the wind helped the batters
turn seven of the thirteen total
hits into extra base blows. The
Boerne lads started off with a
bang, scoring three runs in the
first on Leeder’s lead off home
run over the center^ield fence
and then three conservative
singles. Then in the third a walk
to Sueltenfuss, a double by Cun-
ningham and a triple by G. Uec-
ker resulted in two more runs.
After that, Uecker, with a doub-
le and R. Leeder with a single
were the only Boerne boys to get
any hits. In the meantime, the
Kerrville boys put together two
doubles in the first inning for
one run and added three more
in the third when a home, run
by B. LeSturgeon followed walks
to Hatfield and Holloman. A
bases loaded error in the fifth
sent across the tying run, and
then three singles in the seventh
ended the scoring with Kerrville
on top by a two run margin. It
was a pitchers’ duel for both
teams as the fielders were hav-
ing lots of trouble with fly balls.
Too many walks proved the
downfall for the Boerne hurlers.
Next Sunday the White Sox
are hosts to league leading camp
Stanley. This should be a good
game. And a correction—the
barbecue date to remember is
Mays6th. We hope to see you
there.

pany which was held on April
17 at the Adolphus Hotel in Dal
las^ The meeting, was attended

ficials, had as its theme “Life
Begins at 40”, markig four dec-
ades of progress by Sinclair, O.
F. Kirkett, the oil company’s
district manager announced to-

# This session was one of a se-
ries of sales meetings scheduled
to be held throughout the coun-
try in each of the company’s
six sales districts which cover a

developments in crude, pipeline,
refining, research, transporta-
tion, marketing, advertising and
sales promotion activities.
Sinclair has made great strid-
es since 1916, the year the com-
pany was organized. Starting
with assets of fifty million dol-
lars, distribution was confined,
almost entirely to Kansas. To-
day, the Sinclair Oil Corporation,
and its subsidiaries constitute
one of the largest ndustrial or-
ganizations in the country. In
sales, assets, number of stock-
holders and net income, Sinclair
is ranked among the top 25 man
ufacturing firms in the United^
States.
James E. Dyer, President of
the Sinclair Refining Qompany,
and other company officials was
a featured speaker at the Dis-
trict meeting. In discussing fu-
ture prospects, Mr. Dyer s'aid:
“We do not only hope to set new
sales records in 1956, but we
also want to impress our sales
force with the tremendous pos-
sibilities for unlimited success
in the years ahead.”
Included on the program was
talks by James J. Delaney, Ad-
vertising Manager, Sinclair'Re-
fining Company; Marc F. Graec-
kel, Vice President and Director
of Marketing; Paul W. Zum-
brook, Manager, Lubricating
Sales; Vincent L. Brophy, Man-
ager, Market Development; Wm.
R. Kelly, % Assistant Manager,

The important role that the
dealer, marketer, distributor,
and the area manager play in
the Sinclair organization was
discussed by Louis W. Leath,
Sinclair Refining Company’s
Vice President and General Sales
Manager. Leo J. Hoar, Vice Pres
ident in charge of Station Sales,
spoke on “Cooperation — Key-
note of Successful Enterprise.”

work currently being carried on
by the Sinclair Research and De > *
velopment Corporation, the Sin-
clair Pipe Line Company, the
Sinclair Oil and Gas Company,
Sinclair Chemicals, Inc., and
other subsdiaries.

color, “More Power to You” and

ing Picture Productions, Inc. of

Name in Oil” took more than
three months to film and runs
for forty minutes. It depicts the

pany also addressed the meet- {
ing. Harry Jefferies, Vice Pres-
ident, spoke about “The Sinclair
