Hot Water League action
ended last Thursday night with
Main Office emerging as the
champion.
Completing an undefeated sea-
son. Main Office cruised by last
year’s champ (ER&E), after a
rough start. Main Office trailed
15-4 early in the game, but
methodically chipped away
ER&E’s lead. By halftime, Main
Office was only one point behind,
21-22.
In the second half ER&E was
outscored 27-10 as the Main Of-
fice power overcame ER&E for
a final score of 48-32. Mike Lar-
sen, Main Office center, provided
the winners with rebounding
strength.
High point men for Main Of-
fice were Fred Hansen, 18, and
Ed McGee, 9. ER&E’s lop scorers
were Don Sten mark, 15, and
Delbert Outmers, 9.

While the two teams were
warming up before a game, Chili
went down on the field and asked
some of the players to autograph
a baseball he had. They obliged,
and Craig had a treasured me-
mento.
For years Chili kept the base-
ball wrapped in a silk handker-
chief. Last year he gave the ball
to Travis’ son, Randall, who is
12. To preserve the signatures,
some of which had faded through
handling and age, Travis had the
ball put in an airtight plastic
case.
Chili Craig, who retired in
1958, and lives in Baytown,
fondly recalled those three World
Series games he saw, and the
baseball of a bygone era. Babe
Ruth, he said, hit three home runs
in one of the games Chili at-
tended. “Those were great ball
clubs back in those days. They
had better players,” he said.
Batting averages used to be
higher, Chili commented, because
players tried for base hits.
“Everybody nowadays swings for
the fence,” he said, but pointed
out that baseballs were deader
then so home runs were harder
to get.
Chili began playing baseball
with the Army in El Paso in
1918. After the war he played
semi-pro baseball in West and
Central Texas. “We played base-
ball during the summertime, and
were hooking and sliding for
chili in the winter, just barely
getting by,” he said. When
friends asked why he quit the
baseball circuit, Chili replied
that he was tired of hooking and
sliding for chili—and thereby
picked up his nickname.
From 1925 to 1936, Chili
played baseball for Humble.
Since his retirement from the
Electric Department in 1958, he
has been active in outdoor sports.
“When I’m not hunting and fish-
ing I play golf every day if the
weather permits.” Does he still
like baseball? “I never did like
to watch baseball, just play it.”

throws late in the game to give
Enjay the victory. Roselius was
high point man for Enjay with
11, and John Webb followed with
10. Production’s Joe Hamner
sunk 12, and Ed Bush and Dan
Shewmake dropped 10 each.
In the third game, Specialties
swamped Lube Process 54-20.
Specialties jumped to an early
lead, and Lube Process could
never catch up. High point men
for Specialties were Ralph Cun-
ningham, 14, and Bill Walstead,
10. Norman Hearn scored 8, and
Tom Terry scored 6 for Lube
Process.
