Optimists Take Over
First in Little League
The Optimists, a low-rated team
in the first half, continue to make
news in the second half of Lit-
tle League play.
In fact they’re in first place.
The Optimists gained the envi-
able position by knocking off the
Rotarians, first half champs, 7-0
Tuesday night. The two teams
had been irj a tie for first until
they played that important
game.
The Lions defeated the Kiwan-
ians 18-4 in the second game.
The Optimists play cellar-dwell-
ing Kiwanians in the Thursday
night double header, while the
Lions meet Rotary in a more
critical game that could have
some effect “in the middle of the
standings.’’
Glen Konarek, Optimist hurler,
held Rotary batters to only four
scattered hits, no more than one
in any one inning.
The Optimists scored one run
in each of the first three innings,
with Steven Scruggs, who got a
double, crossing home plate in
tbe first, Walter Tutschke in the
second and David Campbell, who
slammed out a home run with no
one on, in the third.
Steve Burkhart’s triple scored
Chuch Buzan in the third in-
ning and Arnold Cuba’s single
scored Burkhart, to add two
more runs in the fourth. The last
two runs were added to the score-
board in the fifth, as Buzan and
Garry Ochs scored.
Pitching for the losing Rotar-
ians were Ray Gonzales and Sid-
ney Srnensky. They allowed four
hits.
The Lions had an easy night
of it beating the Kiwanians 18-
4.
Rickey Lee pitched for the win-
ners, giving up five hits, while
Allen Rubino and Randall Richter
shared pitching duties for the
Kiwanians, giving up a total of
13 hits.

Rickey Lee scored for the Lions
in the first inning. MaCuk, Lee
and Zidell added three more in
the second. Philip Wheeles

and MaCuk came home in the
fifth.

in- the last inning. Scoring were
Bohls, MaCuk, Lee, Zid'ell, James
Bales, Lanny Pavlicek, Eddie Jin-
kins, Wheeless and Bales again.
Two of the sluggers got dou-
bles. David Mucha drove in two

Convention Report
Two members of the Taylor
Federated Business and Pro-
fessional Women’s Club reported
on the annual state convention
at the meeting Monday evening
in the home of Mrs. Jerry Ivicic.
Mrs. Ivicic led in the club col-
lect and then reported on the
meeting, held in the Granado Ho-
tel in San Antonio.
One of the outstanding mes-
sages was on personal charm,
brought by a member of the fa-
culty of St. Mary’s University in
San.. Antonio. She spoke on per-
sonal charm, stating that, like
charity,’ charm should begin at
home. A hobby would be a help
and a pleasant speaking voice was
another must in personal charm.
Another message was on posi-
tive thinking, and at the annual
banquet, Lois Frazer, the na-
tional president, was the featured
speaker.
Miss Willie Meyer of San An-
tonio is the new president, the
installation done by music, or-
gan numbers telling the story of
the duties of each as she was
installed.
The 1963 convention was voted
for Corpus Christi.
Miss Dorothy Anderson report-
ed on the public affairs part of
the convention. As new presi-
dent, Miss Anderson presided at
the Monday meeting.
The national convention next
year will be held in Dallas and
the club voted a donation for the
planning of the event.
Mrs. Frank Urbis was voted
in as a new member of the club,
and plans for the next meeting
will be anncnr*ced by Mrs. Ed-
mund Aming, vice president, and
program director.
★ GRAYSON'S SCOREBOARD *
Berra Got Rich Hitting
325-Foot Home Runs
BY HARRY GRAYSON
Newspaper Enterprise Sports Editor
NEW YORK—(NEA)—Some New York baseball writers al-
ready have written Lawrence Peter Berra off as an active
player.
The chances are that they are jumping the gun, although
from what he has done, it is amazing that Yogi Berra, now
37, lasted as long as he has.
Berra came to the Yankees doing the extraordinary and will
go out the same way. For example, here is a ballplayer closing
out his career as an outfielder who will go into the Hall of
Fame as a catcher. He caught practically the complete schedule
for the Bombers for a dozen consecutive years.
During the past training season in Fort Lauderdale, Joe Di*
Maggio kidded Berra about being “a lucky guy who got rich
hitting 325-foot home runs.”
_ THE TRUTH IS THAT Yankee Stadium with its 296-foot
right field foul line was made for Berra’s lefLhand pull swing.
Had Yogi played half the time in any other park he would
have been just another good catcher and hitter, but the fact
remains that he was accomplished and smart enough to take
advantage of the situation.
Berra has been vastly more than just another fine ball-
player at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have had three
standouts since Babe Ruth—Joe DiMaggio, Berra and
Mickey Mantle. Casey Stengel held that, for all-round value,
Berra had to be rated second only to DiMag.
The intensely loyal Houk hasn’t given up on Berra, and he
happens to be the one whose opinion counts most.
“Yogi had a cold during training and was retarded by a leg
injury,” the manager explains. “He’s swinging well and will
start hitting again.”
BERRA MADE HIS DETRACTORS take another look when,
as a pinch-hitter and getting in his 2,000th game as a Yankee,
he broke up a deadlock with the Orioles with a three-run home
run well into the right field seats. It was the Yogi Man’s 343rd
four-master.
Berra says that only about 20 per cent of the stories they
told about him as a comic book reading recruit were true. For
a stretch after he first came around in 1947, Yogi dropped
malaprops all over the place, and Joe Garagiola, his boyhood
friend, and Frank Scott, then the road secretary, kept making
up yarns about their favorite character.
Shrewd Yogi good-aaturedly went along with them and
kept making trips to the bank. Berra lias for some time
been paid $62,000 a year. He has highly successful outside
interests and a $75,000 home.
As Ralph Houk observed, “Yogi may not have had too much
education, but he makes change very well.”
Maybe the_ baseball writers had best put away their crying
towels. The last thing a stickout hitter loses is his swing, and
Yogi still has his.

PARADISE LOST—Some campaign promises are coming
home to roo.St for Nikita Khrushchev. Back in’ 1957, he
promised the Russian people they would be enjoying as
much or more meat, butter and milk than Americans in the
next few years. Figures on chart above show it’s .$fcill a long
way from happening. Worse, Soviet citizens have just been
hit with a rise in meat and butter prices. A kilogram of
butter (2.2 pounds) now costs about one-fifth of a Soviet
worker’s weekly -wages. One-fifth of an American worker’s
pay would be nearly $20. Soviet consumption figures in
chart are sales through the state trading network. Some
consumption on firms is not shown. tl.S.S.R. produces little
margarine, while IJ.S. consumption exceeds that of butter.
The two combined are twice the Soviet consumption of;
butter, although I.jussia has 30 to 40 million more people.

Thrall Wins Thriller
7-6 Over St. Mary's
Thrall came from behind in the
last inning to defeat St. Mary’s
7-6 in the Church League Tuesday
night.
West Taylor-Wuthrich Hill had
little trouble subduing Granger
13-7 in the second game of the
double header.
Coupland, which didn’t even
play, got a tighter grab on first
place by virtue of the fact that
Thrall defeated second place St.
Mary’s, knocking the Catholics
another rung down the ladder.
The Thrall win puts them in a
second place tie with St. Mary’s.
Next games, coming up this
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Murphy
Field, will feature Walburg and
Coupland and St. Paul versus the
Baptists.
The Thrall-St. Mary’s battle was
an exciting fair. Each team
scored three runs in the first in-
ning. Scoring or Thrall were Lar-
ry Johnson, Preston Johnson and
Smith. Crossing home place for
St. Mary’s were Meiske, Safarik
and Lofue.
That’s the way it remained un-
til the third inning, when St.
Mary’s went ahead 6-5. Scoring
three runs in the inning or St.
Mary’s were Sidney Khrovjak,
Matysek and Sam Krhovjak. Da-
vid Krueger and Dvorak tallied
for Thrall.
Thrall, the home team for the
night, tied it up at 6-6 in the
fifth inning when Dvorak scored.
Kerlin added the final !run in the
sixth to win the game.
Thrall got 14 hits while St.
Mary’s got just half that many.
Pitching or Thrall was Dvorak,
and on the mound for St. Mary’s
was Matysek.
In the second game, Granger
took an early lead but couldn’t
hold on to it, as West Taylor
won 13-7.
Don and Ted Kovar and W.
Cervenka scored for Granger in
the first, with the two Kovars
adding two more in the second.
Ted Kovar got a home run,
knocking in Don Kewar.
Frank Klatts scored another
run for Granger in the third and
Don Kovar added the seventh and
last run in the fourth inning.
West Taylor started scoring in
the second with three runs by
Harvey Loake, Charles Remmert
and Powell. Three more were add-
ed in the third when Randig
Ralph Remmert and Wuthrich
scored. The same three men
scored in the fifth. And West
Taylor added four more in the
sixth inning, when Schmidt, Ralpn
Remmert, Wuthrich and Hehman
scotred. Wuthrich got a home run
with Remmert and Schmidt on
base.
