SPECIAL NOTICES
Due to the Commence-
ment Exercises scheduled
for Friday night, May 21,
the V. F. W.-Legion game
will be played one night
ahead, Thursday, May 20.
All managers are asked
to have their lineups made
before coming to the dia-
mond, so that the games
can start on time. The
scorebook can be picked up
at the cold drink stand and
lineups entered upon ar-
rival at the diamond. Co-
operation of all managers
will be appreciated, as this
is the chief reason for the
late start of games.
Game Results
A huge crowd of fans turned
out Wednesday, May 12, and
Friday, May 14, and saw two
of the best contested and closest
games of the season.
Evergreen vs. Legion
Wednesday’s game was a
thriller all the way through, as
Evergreen remained in the un-
defeated column by narrowly
squeezing out a 9-8 verdict over
the American Legion. Ever-
green’s ace hurler, “Little Doc”
Darilek was not present, but
Mike Fric did a bang up job of
filling his shoes as he pitched
and batted his team to victory.
At the end of 5 full innings of
play Legion held an 8-6 lead. In
the 6th Evergreen loaded the
bags with one away and Mike
Fric slammed a base clearing
double into right-center. This
turned out to be all he needed
as he set the Legionaires down
in order in the 6th and 7th
frames.
Kopecky hurled a good brand
of ball for Legion all the way
through, but was touched for
hits when they were most need-
ed by the opponents.
The win was the fourth
straight for Evergreen without
a defeat.
V. F. W. vs BAR-B-Q
Another game that was nip
and tuck down to the last man
was played Friday night, May
14, with V. F. W. edging past
Bar-B-Q for a 9-7 verdict.
Ewald “Zaba” Erdelt hurled
good ball for the winners, as
did Johnnie Dusek for the
losers. Dusek's chief headache
was Arnold Stanek who rapped
him for four straight hits, a sin-
gle, double, triple and a near
homer. Stanek was thrown out
at home plate by a split sec-
ond as he attempted to stretch
his second hit of the night into
a homer. Out of the 9 runs
scored by V. F. W., Stanek bat-
ted in 5, including the deciding
one in the 6th frame.
V. F. W. held a 7-1 lead going
into the fifth frame, but Bar-B-
Q combined 3 walks, 3 hits and
an error to knot the count at 7
all.
In the sixth the winning runs
crossed the platter for V. F. W.
as Marcak singled, Stanek trip-
led and Strauss drove a long
fly into deep left to score Sta-
nek after the catch.
The following is a schedule for
the second round of the season:
Wednesday, May 26, V. F. W.
vs Evergreen
Friday, May 28, Legion vs
Shiner High.

vs Bar-B-Q.

Witting Edges Shiner
12-7 In Close Game
The Sts. Cyril and Methodius
Parish team lost a very close
game to the Witting team Sun-
day, May 16, on the Witting
diamond.
The Janek brothers, Emil and
Henry, did the pitching chores
for the Shiner nine and hurled
good ball, while Bollom and
Cerny did a fine job of pitching
for the opponents.
The game looked like a Shi-
ner victory all the way to the
sixth inning, as the locals held
a 3-0 lead, but some heavy
stickwork and errors by the
Shinerites in the final 3 innings
gave the Witting bdys twelve
runs and the ball game. Shiner
scored four more runs, but fail-
ed to knot the count. Final score
12-7.
Next Sunday the Witting
team will invade Shiner on,the
Zander diamond east of town.
This is bound to be a good
game, so come out and enjoy an
afternoon of real entertainment.
There will be plenty of good
cold drinks on hand.

R. J. Osborn
Announces For
County Commissioner
After cai'eful consideration
and at the insistence of my
many friends in Precincts 3 and
7, Lavaca County, I have decid-
ed to enter my name in the race
for County Commissioner, Pre-
cincts 3 and 7, subject to the
action of the July Democratic
Primaries.
I have held public office for
many years and have always
been successful in these offices.
I served in San Antonio with
the Fire Department for ten
years, and resigned from this
position during the first World
War and served in the Camp
Travis Fire Department from
December, 1917 to 1923. I then
resigned from this job and
moved to Yoakum, Texas in
June, 1923, and joined the Yoa-
kum Fire Department, and was
elected Fire Chief in July of the
same year. I held this job until
September 21, 1931. During
1932-33 I worked for the State
Highway Dept., as foreman on
Highway 66, San Antonio, Tex.
In August, 1939 we bought a
farm on Route 3, Shiner, Texas,
where I farmed and raised cat-
tle until World War II.
In 1943 I was called back into
service and served 3 years, 11
months and 1 day as Fire Chief
at Brooks Field, Texas. I resign-
ed from this job in November
1947 in. order to be with my
family and take care of our
farm.
I am 58 years of age, being
born in 1890, married, have four
children, 2 boys and 2 girls.
Both boys saw overseas service
in World War II.
I believe I understand the
needs and problems of Precincts
3 and 7 and as a property own-
er and tax payer I believe I pos-
ses the ability and judgment to
make the people of Precincts 3
and 7 an outstanding commis-
sioner. If the voters will elect
me, I will carry on the work of
this office with the needs of the
people foremost in my mind. It
is my intention to conduct a
clean race and I will attempt to
see as many of the voters as I
possibly can between now and
the election. I sincerely request
that you consider my candidacy.
Your vote and support will be
greatly appreciated.
