Base hits flew in all directions
Sunday at Bowie when the Red Sox
trounced the Bowie Dodgers to the
tune of 10 to 5. Brashear, the Bowie
pitcher, has been standing the rest
of the teams in the league on their
heads but could do nothing with
the Red Sox as they pounded him
for 18 hits. It was a typical fans’
ball game; plenty of hot arguments
with lots of hits and base running
kept the game interesting.
The Sox woke up and ran some
bases and Bowie did not have a
chance to relax as they were kept
busy throwing out or attempting to
throw a runner out at all times.
The score' could have been larger
just as easily or not since Olney
had six runners thrown out at the
plate on close plays.
Jim Kelly, Raymond Medlin and
Dalton Allen led the Olney attack
with three hits each. Dixon, Sch-
legel, R. Kelly and Mikeska each
picked up two. Glenn Surratt start-
ed off for the Sox and his sinker
ball held the Bowie club to three
runs for the six innings he pitch-
ed. Mikeska then took over and he
was nicked for only two runs with
these coming in the ninth when
Brashear homered with one on.
The Sox got off to a good start
ir_ the first when Ryan Kelly drove
one over the center field fence for
a home run and from that point
fpever were headed. Scoring one in
'the first, the Sox collected three in
the second on hits by Allen, Sch-
legel, J. Kelly, Medlin and Rogers.
Scoring again in the fifth and
again in the eighth, the Sox came
up to the ninth leading 6 to 3.
Brashear seemed to weaken here
and the Sox jumped him for five
runs. Taking part in this spree
were Medlin, Schlegel, Allen, Dixon
and Mikeska.
Jim Kelly took top honors for the
day for base stealing, making two
beautiful hook slides on what
looked like sure put-outs. Lefty
Terrell sparkled in infield play as
he made several good stops. Much
credit must be given Rogers for
catching two good pitchers on per-
haps the hottest day of the year;
he didn’t bobble.
This win throws the Sox right
back into the thick of the second
half race with Tipton and Iowa
Park. With the defeat of Tipton
Sunday at the hands of Iowa Park,
the Sox now have a chance to
throw the race into a deadlock in
what may be one of the hardest
fought games of the year here Sun-
day. Wichita Falls’ Spudders for-
feited Sunday to Burkburnett.

Garfield Cast in
Another Hard Luck
Role; Shirley Aids
SATURDAY'S CHILDREN ai
the Westex Theater Thursday and
Friday. Included in the cast are
John Garfield, Anne Shirley, Claude
Rains, Roscoe Karns, Lee Patrick,
Dennie Moore, George Tobias,
Elizabeth Risdon. A Warner Bros,
picture.
According to the pome, Satur-
day’s child works hard for a liv-
ing. John Garfield is suited to the
hard luck side of living in pic-
tures so put the two together and
“Saturday’s Childrenf’ results. The
other part of the children is Anne
Shirley.
John and Anne play the parts of
a young couple beset with early
marriage problems. Love on a
budget forms the theme for this
story and the picture takes them
through their first difficult year of
marriage and shows just what
makes it tick. Their romance be-
gins, as so many real-life big city
romances do, in an office. They
marry confidently, for both have
jobs. City-starved for light . and
air, they rent a shack which has
been built on top of a commercial
garage.
But then trouble comes to their
‘•‘castle” for girl loses job. A story
that is familiar to many. How
Anne Shirley and John Garfield
solve their problems is interesting
and makes the pome turn out all
rigid.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Spirit” is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, August 11.
The Golden Text is: “Teach me
to do thy will; for thou art my
God: thy spirit is good; lead me
into the land of unrightness”
(Psalms 143: 10).
Among the citations which com- (
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-!
lowing from the Bible: “But Jesus'
answered them, My Father work-
eth hiterto, and I work” (John; 5:17).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The
calm, strong currents of true
spirituality, the manifestations of
which are health, purity, and self-
immolation, must deepen human ex-
perience, until the beliefs of mater-
ial existence are seen to be a bald
scientific demonstration of divine
spirit and to God’s spiritual, prefect
man” (page 99).
