With their recent victory over
the Wilson Spudders here only af-
ter a 12-inning battle still fresh
in their memories, the Red Sox
will travel to Wichita Falls for an-
other crucial game in the Oil Belt
League Sunday.
At present, by virtue of their
errorless win Sunday over Tipton,
Okla., the Sox rest in a tie with
Tipton for second place. Iowa Park
leads the league now but that stand-
ing may be changed Thursday night
when the Bombers and Spudders
play Thursday night of this week
under lights in Iowa Park.
Three more games remain in this
half of the season’s bookings and
two of these games are going to be
tough for the Sox who dashed
(championship hopes of the Tipton
(Boosters Sunday with an 8-2 shel-
lacking.
Tipton Took Early Lead
Glenn Surratt for the Sox had the
visitors at his mercy and gave up
only eight hits and these were scat-
tered. The Sox played flawless ball
and took advantage of every break
to make a hard earned victory look
easy. It was an important game for
both teams and the defeat dropped
the Boosters into a tie for second
with the Sox only one game behind
the league-leading Iowa Park Buffs.
The Sox have one more game with
jlowa Park and this will be played
here Aug. 25 in a tilt that may
decide the second half champion.

“Heart Breaker”
Another heart breaker was drop-
ped by Scotty Boyd Monday night
in the finals of the district T. A. A.
F. boxing tournament in Wichita
Falls.
Weldon Wyatt of Wichita Falls
yarned the right to represent this
district in the flyweight division of
the state meet in San Angelo next
week by easing past Scotty when
judges asked the boxers to go into
an extra round. Unable to reach a
decision at the end of the regula-
tion three rounds, judges requested
the fourth round and then gave it
to Wyatt on a “photo finish.”

County Republicans
Will Not Write
Ballot; Back Willkie
Young county Republicans de-
cided against writing a party tic-
ket for this county at' their con-
vention last Saturday when they
elected officers for another year
find adopted resolutions on county
and national affairs, urging the
Qlection of Wendeli L. Willkie for
president of the United States.
C. W. Johnson, Jr., was elected
county committee chairman and W.
T. Lindley named secretary. C. L.
Long of Newcastle was named dele-
gate and Hugh W. Cunningham of
Eliasville alternate to the state
convention which will meet at
Beaumont. Dave R. French was
chosen delegate and Mr. Johnson
as alternate to the district conven-
tion.
Resolutions adopted at the meet-
ing were:
“Be it resolved that the Republi-
cans of Young county, Texas, in con-
vention do heartily endorse the ad-
ministration of our State chairman,
Hugh E. Exum, and instruct our
delegates to vote for his re-election.
We also give heartily the same en-
dorsement to our National commit-
teeman, the Hon. R. B. Creager.
“We further invite all democrats
who believe in good government to
join with us in the election of Will-
kie for President. This may be done
by the formation of Willkie for
President clubs. These clubs will
later be associated together so that
j with united action we may carry
Young county and Texas for Will-
kie.
“We further commend the Demo-
cratic party of Young county, Tex-
as, for the high quality of the
candidates that they have nominat-
ed in Young county, and it is there-
fore resolved that no Republican
county ticket be put out”
