Gainesville oiled up a 14 to 1
first quarter lead, increased it to
24 to 5 by the end of the half
and then made it 36 to 8 by the
termination of the third stanza.
For the .Panthers, last night’s
win was their eighth against only
one loss. The eighth grade victory
gave the little Panthers a slate of
six wins and three losses.

MANAGERS BEING NAMED FOR BIG STATE LEAGUE TEAMS
As the 1951 baseball season approaches, the officials of the vari-
ous teams in the loop are naming their managers for the year.
For instance, this morning it was announced that Harold (Hal)
Epps would be the playing-manager for the Tyler entry in the BSL.
Tyler, as most of you know, will take the place of Greenville in the
’51 league race.
Epps is an outfielder, who has had some 16 years of baseball
experience in both minor and major league jobs. During his span of
play in the minor leagues, the new Tyler manager never failed to
hit above the .300 mark.
He played with Houston of the Texas league for eight years and
during that time set an all time record for triples in the Class AA
loop. So, it seems that Tyler got a good man for their manager’s
position.
Several weeks ago Hank Oana, last season’s Austin Pioneer
manager, accepted the post as manager of the Big State league cham-
pion Texarkana Bears. Big Hank promised Bear officials another
winner in the 1951 campaign.
Billy Capps was named Sherman-Denison Twin manager some
time ago and everyone knows that Hal Van Pelt was appointed play-
ing manager for the Gainesville Owls for the coming season.

for looks!
It’s the car to see... and to be seen in!
Mercury gathers admiring glances
on every corner. And you can rest
assured that its low, graceful, prac-
tical design will stay in style for years.
It’s only smart business today to think
of the future. And for that reason, it’s
smart business to consider only a new
model car—like the 1951 Mercury—for
your best investment. You see, a 1951
Mercury will last longer, will be more
dependable, and certainly assures you
of more years of satisfaction. Yes, it’s
smart business to own a 1951 Mercury!

Muenster and Valley View, two
Cooke county schools, are also
going to participate in baseball
this season. Muenster has been
placed in District 23-B, along
Booher, who failed to make the
trip, out of action, the brunt of
the scoring was left up to Baker.
He came through and had great
help from Howard.
Bass was top scorer for Saint
Jo with 16 points, while Reagan
was next in line for scoring-
laurels with 13 markers. Collins
helped out with 11 tallies.
Baker, Lion captain, acted as
coach for the locals in the Mon-
day contest.

Saint jo’s tough independent
basketball aggregation scored
their second consecutive victory
oyer the hapless Gainesville
Lions Monday night, annexing a
59 to 46 win on the Saint Jo
high school court.
The Lions, playing without the
leadership of Coach Garland Col-
let who was called to active duty
in the air corps, were in the ball
game until the final minutes of
the last quarter.
With the final frame half over,
the Lions trailed by only three
points and it looked if they might,
be in the process of catching up
with the home team. Jack King,
ace Gainesville forward, fouled
out minutes later, however, and
the Lion upsurge was hindered.
Baker, Howard Score
Winford Baker and Bud How-
ard were the scoring giants for
the Lions in the fray. Baker
chipped in with 16 points, while
Howard outdid any of his previ-
ous performances this season by
dumping in a total of 11 points.
Norman “Toot” Fellers tallied
eight markers, while King made
only seven. Six foot, six inch

• HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL
Tentative conferences have
been scheduled for the coming
high school baseball season.
That slate includes Class AA
and Class B loops.
Sherman and Denison are the
only teams from District 7-A A
to enter into baseball competi-
tion this season and they find
themselves, in a pretty rugged
conference. Denton, Grand
Prairie, Highland Park of Dal-
las, McKinney, Sherman and
Denison make up the confer-
ence, which has been named
District 8-AA.
If Denison’s Bob Leach_
gets over his illness by base-
ball time, the Yellow Jackets
will be hard to stop—at least
when he is on the mound.
with Harrold, Odell and Saint Jo.
Valley View will face Collins-
ville, Gunter, Howe, Pilot Point,
Tioga, Tom Bean, Van Alstyne,
Whitesboro and Whitewright in
District 24-B. That’s a full sched-
ule and the Eagles should find
the going downright rugged in
that competition.
We are glad to see some county
teams play baseball this season,
for it is an important schoolboy
sport and should take its place
alongside football and basketball
in the eyes of young athletes.
• NO LEOPARD BASEBALL
Gainesville’s high school will
not field a team this season,
due primarily to financial rea-
sens. Football didn’t prove to
be any financial success this
season and basketball never
does pay for itself. Of course
baseball would fall far short at
the gate.
Track is another non-paying
school enterprise, but equip-

More for your money—that’s the 1951

a few of the many reasons why the 1951
Mercury adds up to the buy of your life!

Cubs lost a thrilling 31 to 30 bat-

with the one-point win over the
little Leopards.
Tonight’s game will be the
final outing for four Leopard
seniors. John Myrick, Gayle
Carnes, Jack Barnett and Bill '
Barnett are due to graduate this
spring, so they’ll be playing in
their last 7-A A cage game to-
night.
Bill Dawson, Bill Alexander
and Bill Clark are the big wheels
of the Paris aggregation. Dawson
is rated as the best of the lot,
however, and his play is expected
to provide quite a basketball
show.

In the opening game of the
night, the eighth grade Black
Kittens completely outclassed the
McKinney eighth graders and ran
up a tremendous 41 to 8 victory
over the visitors.
The Panthers might have made
the margin even larger over
Coach Doug Kenney’s little Lions
from McKinney had their pass-
ing been more accurate. Fast
breaks netted the Cats many of
their two pointers, but bad
passes on those fast breaks cost
several more field goals.
Taking a 10 to 6 first quarter
lead the Panthers were never in
trouble and led the rest of the
way. They practically iced it
away in the second quarter, scor-
ing a huge total of 20 points.
That scoring spree gave the Mc-
Cain men a 30 to 14 lead.
Roddy Osborne was the big
gun in that first half, as he sacked
up 10 points to lead the Panthers,
but Spencer Havs, Tommy Win-
ger and Bobby Morgan helped
out.
Play was rough throughout and
tempers flared on occasions dur-
ing the hard - fought district
The sincere men who aggressively promote
the industrial advantages and potential profit
possibilities of our city, comprise our most
important, single group of citizens. They
are the hard-working members of our Cham-
ber of Commerce. On their shoulders falls
the responsibility of attracting new factories
and industries to our community, in order
that more and more payrolls, families and
homes will augment our already prosperous
area. Indeed, we might say that the CHAM-
BER OF COMMERCE is the very life-blood
cf our daily lives, for their activities penetrate
each business, large and small—bringing to
all, the kind of help that benefits, directly or
indirectly, every man, woman and child in
our proud community. We salute the in-
comparable work of our Chamber of Com-
merce!
Still on the lookout for their
first win of a disappointing 1951
basketball season, the Gainesville
Leopards play host to the Paris
Wildcats tonight in the final dis-
trict 7-A A game of the year.
Gainesville’s B team will tackle
the Wildcat B’s in the night
opener, beginning at 7 p. m. That
game will be a battle for second
place in the district B team
standings.
Coacn Jim Campbell’s Leopards
have suffered one of the most
disastrous seasons ever experi-
enced by a Gainesville quintet.
In 11 starts, the Spotted Cats
have been on the losing end of
11 scores. They’ll be top heavy
favorites to drop their 12th
straight game tonight.
Paris, on the other hand, is tied
for second place in 7-AA stand-
ings. Two defeats at the hands
of the Sherman Bearcats, who
sewed up the loop championship
with a 50 to' 35 win over the
Leopards last Friday night, are
the only confernce setbacks suf-
fered by the Paris five.

in their first meeting with the
