THE CUERO, RECORD, CUERO, TEXAS
Observations
By PETE
Unless rain interferes with the
'.work during the remainder of the
week the infield at the Cuero Pa-k
Stadium will be in better condition
for Sunday’s game than it has been
■11 season and our only regret is
that this is the final regular-sched-
uled Gulf Coast contest on the
1937 docket. Some weeks ago
'however, we predicted that the field
would probably be in number one
lition by the end of the current
and with additional funds
b* spent on the layout during the
Winter months none better should
he found next spring—with one
provision. This provision is that the
city keeps a part time employe**
out there during the off-season.
Much credit for the condition of
the layout should go to Alfred
Bchueneman Jr., high school foot-
ball and baseball player, who has
worked wonders with the park
atace he was employed a few weeks
ago.
As for the outfield, we can't say
much very favorable. As we've
■aid repeatedly. It is too much of a
task to mow this area by hand
and as a result, it hasn’t been
mowed for some weeks. Today,
weeds and grass have grown knee
Itoh in parts of the field and we
Wn*t envy those outer gardeners in
games out there this
y*cr. Work <mi the part of interested
fans helped keep the outfield
mowed as closely at the infield and
it was in good condition meet of
the Reason, but this cant be said
how. !
- It fa hoped that during the win-
ter this portion of the playing
field will be dragged by the city
grader in an effort to fill in low
places and do away with the tall
weeds. There Is little object in this
procedure however, unless the city
Intends to keep the layout mowed.
By scraping and dragging same, it
can be made smooth enough to
permit mowing with the forthcom-
ing golf course mower, but wheth-
er they will devote this equipment
to this particular task remains to
be seen. With the power-driven
r, only a couple of hours every
or so will be required 'to keep
this portion of the field in condi-
tion, while hand mowers can he
naed to keep the grass infield in
shape.
'. Bwn Kentucky comes the fol-
lowing interesting story:
"You’ve noticed the little colored
boys who lead out the ponies at the

Authority ou
A CLEAR-CUT DEFENSE
THE ABSOLUTELY ideal time
lo lead a singleton is when a play-
er can stop the trump run because
he holds the ace and a little one or
the king and two little ones, and
when he also knows from a bid by
his partner the suit in which the
lead can be transferred across the
table. -Defense is then cut and
dried. First the singleton is led,
probably won by 'the declarer.
Next the declarer leads trumps,
which are won on the first or sec-
ond round by the original leader.
Then comes a lead to the partner's |
hand and a return of the singleton
suit, which is ruffed.

(Dealer: South. North-South
vulnerable.)
Here South opened the bidding
with 1-Spade, North called
2- Hearts, East 3-Diamonds, South
3- Spades and North 4-Spades.
West, with what he felt was a
•ure trump trick, decided to lead
his singleton heart, instead of
opening up with his partner’s dia-
monds. The declarer won and im-
mediately finessed the spade 10,
which West won with the K. A
diamond w-as now led to East’s Q.
Reading West for a singleton heart,
the heart 8 was returned, which
West ruffed, and then switched to
a club. East won this with the A
in order to give West a chance for
another heart ruff provided he held
another trump. As West was able
to ruff, the contract was set two
tricks.
Had West’s opening lead been a
diamond, East would have won it,
but no matter what he returned,
the contract could not have been
set.

Alfred Schueneman Jr., End
At one of the Cuero Gobbler
wing positions this fall will likely
appear one Alfred William Schue-
neman Jr., one-year letterman who
showed plenty of improvement dur-
ing the 1936 campaign. Young
Dusty, who was born, reared and
tutored in Cuero, was not listed as
a starting end last fall, but lie’s
going to be hard to beat out this
year.
The youngster weighs only 140
pounds, but he’s battling ’em in
there every step of the way and
should be a thorn in the side of all
opposition In every Gobbler game.
He is only sixteen years old and
readily confesses his first love is
baseball, but shows enough inter-
est in other school sports to try
out for them all. He held down
second base on the school baseball
team this spring.
His father is employed at the
Cuero Record office, but this hasn’t^
dampened Dusty’s desire to enter !
Texas University when he finishes |
high school. Will likely appear in.

ries for the championship of the
Bluebonnet. League, will start here
Sunday between Poth. which cinch-
ed the second-half with a 20 to 7
win over Runge, and the Yorktovni
Aces, first-half winners.
Poth, with seven wins and no de-
feats ti> its credit, has one more
game \>ut the outcome would have
no bearing on the standings since
the rest of the league clubs have
dropped two or more decisions.
Branum and Young were the
hitting stars in the deciding game
Sunday, collecting nine of their
team’s 21 blows.
