Game Rained Out;
At Bernardo Next
The La Grange Jaycee De-
mons and Bernardo’s Hurri-
canes bowed to the weatherman
in their attempt to inaugurate
the first game of the South-
Central Texas Amateur League
finals at Fair Park here Sun-
day.
Continuous—and highly ben-
eficial — rains left the playing
field in a sea of water, and
Mgr. Nookie Rosenberg advised
'Cane Skipper Mel Neuendorff
early Sunday morning of the
cancellation.
The two clubs will endeavor
to get the series going on the
Bernardo field next Sunday
afternoon.

It was love at first sight, although she
was but 20 years old and he had lived
more than twice her lifetime in a harsh
and dangerous frontier world.
They were married shortly before Gen-
eral Houston became President of the
Republic of Texas for the second time.
A contemporary biographer says "from
then on her life was writing poems and
love letters to her husband, playing the

large farms and loaned the surplus
profits, always seeking and finding
sound security/*
