A willingness to let well enough alone has enslaved the
lives of millions of people in Asia and Africa, and in many
other parts of the world. These people live today just
as their forefathers did centuries ago . . . primitive and
poverty-stricken ... despite the rich resources of their land.

a single scored the winning run in
the 11th frame as the Oilers took
a 5-3 decision.
The lowly single proved to be
the deciding factor in Shreveport’s
1-0 victory over San Antonio.
Shreveport’s Les Peden slam-
tried a bases-loaded single off the
coreboard in the last of the ninth
to push across the run that ended
the game.
The people of this country never have been willing to let
well enough alone. They have believed that we should not
be content with things as they are ... not if creative and
constructive ideas could produce improvements.
That is one of the basic reasons why we live today in
a land of prosperity and plenty ... in a land where more
people enjoy more of the good things of life than any-
where else on earth.
They have persisted, also, in creating new methods and
practices ... new tools and machines.
Our nation often is referred to as a land of plenty,
which it is.

Such is the fate of people who persist in believing that
you should let well enough atone.
This comfortable belief, if persisted in, stifles the prog-

have subscribed to it They have insisted upon creating
new and better ways of working and living.
Or try any combination thereof.

Cliff Norton, Co-Ed pitcher, did
everything well Monday night at
the Little League Park except win
the game. Norton struck out 15,
which ties the 1958 Little League
strikeout record, and allowed only
three hits.
However, Norton’s team, the Co-
Ed. dropped a 3-2 encounter to
Moore in Tuesday’s American Lit-
tle League action.
Mike Gammon, hurling for
Moore, was no slouch himself.
Gammon gave up only one hit
while striking out 13 Co-Eders.
Moore led the contest after the
second inning by scoring two runs
as a result of walks. The Co-Eders
scored in the fourth and in the top
of the sixth to tie the score but
Moore came back with two hits
and a run in the bottom of the
sixth to take the victory.

LUBBOCK UB-The finest array
of runners in the history of the
All-Star football game of the Tex-
as Coaching School was the con-
clusion of the experts today.
A terrific ground battle was
shaping up between two split T
teams as the squads entered their
second day of workouts under the
coaching of Abe Martin of TCU
and Paul Bryant of Texas A&M.
The squads clash Friday night
in the climaxing feature of the
coaching school with indications
that a crowd of close to 20,000
wiU be in the stands.
Martin, coaching the North, was
particularly high on such runners
as Marvin Lassater of San Angelo,
Wahoo McDaniel of Midland,
James Shurbert of Ralls and Jack
Spikes of Snyder. And he thought
the ball-handling genius of Jack
Sledge, New London quarterback,
would make the ground attack
dick well.
Martin also was pleased with
the passing of Don Meredith of
Mt. Vernon, who will play a lot
of quarterback for the North.

Cincinnati beat St. Louis 7-6 in
10 innings Monday to climb with-
in two games of Milwaukee’s Na-

The winning run was knocked
in by ex-Cardinal Alex Grammas
after fine relief work by Hal Jeff-

The victory also edged the Red-
legs to within five percentage
points of Brooklyn’s idle second-
place Dodgers, who moved to
within 1% games of the Braves,
beaten 5-4 in 11 innings by the
Chicago Cubs.
In the American League, young

NEW YORK (-Rory Calhoun,
winner of 23 straight pro fights,
wasn’t satisfied with a decision
over Charlie Cotton because he
"wanted to knock him out a lit-

Calhoun, 158, had to settle for a
split decision over Cotton, 152%,
Monday night at St. Nicholas
Arena. Both judges voted for the
21-year-old White Plains, N. Y.,
slugger (Joe Agnello 6-4, Artie

Feld had Cotton on top 5-3-2. The
AP card showed Calhoun a 6-4
winner. ' *
"I like to fight guys who like to
fight,” complained Calhoun, who
said Cotton "only exerted himself
when he had to." The best he
could say about Cotton, veteran
of 32 pro fights, was "He’s hard-
est to hit of any I fought."
