TWO WORLDS
By Maud McCurdy Welch
BEGINNING JULY 3 IN
THE DAILY RECORD
News that out of the twenty Gulf
Coast League players selected to
participate in the forthcoming i
Fourth of July baseball game here
between the Victoria Oilers and the
Coast All-Stars, five of the group
are members of the Cuero Turkey
Trotter nine comes as mighty good
news and is an indication that the
Trotters are finally beginning to get
a little recognition in this circuit, i
For many years the Trotters have j
been the footpad of the loop, but
this year's club is making the rest
prick up their collective ears.
Young Henry Wood, who is per-
haps the outstanding shortstop in
the circuit, captured * the most votes
for that position and there is little
doubt in my mind that he can well
take care of himself out there—even j
on the Fourth. Another Trotter, Big ;
Boy Beasley, outfielder and pitcher, j
will start in right field against the I
Oilers, and despite his comparative j
slowness, his hitting gan’t be over- 1
looked. What he lacks in speed is
more than made up with the wil-
low, for this boy is clouting the ball
at only a few points under five
hundred in league competition.
Wood, too. is smacking the ball lus- |
tily, his latest figures showing a
rosey .321 for the season.
Old loose-jointed Leonard Barth
was also accorded the honor of being
one of the four pitchers selected to
make up the group, he and ‘Kidney’
May having tied for third place in
ballots. He may or may not see serv-
ice in the holiday affair.
The other two Trotters selected
are Skipper Fowler and outfielder
Chester Laufer and there’s little j jsmall craft harbor
doubt the first-named will have | JeamS LeaVe Field After ibaS,‘ree^and.

accepted the job—and I mean job,
for nothing about it resembles a po-
sition. In the first place, I am look-
ed to for a decision on all matters
that managers can’t settle among
themselves and you can wager that
some of them are about as crazy as
a house full of dopes. I have to be
on hand at the park diamond five
nights each week to help collect (or
beg, I. should say) the few nickles I
?an in order to get these lights paid
for. I have to tell team manager.^
where the league mask is and how
to go about getting it. I have to tell
managers what kind of shoes to wear
and what kind of bat to use and
any one of a dozen other things.
The greatest job however, is trying
to keep peace and harmony among
the one hundred and fifty-odd
players taking part and take my
word for it—its no picnic.
I blame no one but myself for my
predicament, but I hereby publicly j
announce that some other sucker [
will have to carry that end of the
burden in 1939. I have just about
decided to go to the World’s Fair in
New York or to Bermuda for the
summer just to keep from having
j the same job wished off on me. I
can hardly blame any one of the
ten teams out there for .wanting to
win the forty thousand dollar prize
money and the coveted gold-plated
loving cup. but I wish some of them
would be a bit more gentlemanly
about it.

Despite my requests that parents
help the softball league by not sit-
ting on the stands without paying
for the privilege, or letting their
j children do the same, there are still
l some individuals who insist on both.
1 Everyone knows that these stands
are far from adeqiiate, but just
about one-half of the space is tak-
en up each night by non-paying
customers. Quite a few' of the chil-
i dren sitting up there are willing to
pay. and do so, more the majority
do not. It is difficult to ask a little
boy or girl to get off.* but why
shduld folks their same age be made
to pay when they don’t. Again I
ask that you parents consider the
league's side of the question and
either give them a nickle to pay for
their seats or ask them not to use
