BLUES AND SKELLY
CONFERENCE CHAMPS
So, at the end of an exciting
summer of baseball, Bodie Tuck-
er's Blues and Skell.vtown share
the Carson County Championship
together. Let me take off my hat
to these fine ball clubs who have
constantly showen desire, heart
and sportsmanship all season. You
and your roaches are to be con-
gratulated for the way you have
conducted yourselves on and off
the field.
From this team came three all
star picks in Larry Morrison,
David Stephenson and Keith Cay-
ton, but lets say that I person-
ally think it takes all stars back-
ing j>11 stars to make all stars and
I certainly saw this in this one
little family of blues this year.
Again, congratulations, Blues.—
Ole Skunk.
BRITTEN ONE HITS
SPEARMAN
White Deer, July 18—Marvin
Britten, Groom's representative in
the Carson County All-Stars,
dropped Spearman from the first
go-around of tournament play, 8
to 2, here this evening along
with Divid Stephenson, who re-
lieved Britten in the third. Big
gun from Claude helped the All-
Stars romp as Larry Morrison
came up with homers in third and
fifth innings and team mate Roy
Dale Wood slammed one in the
third. This brings the All-Stars
around to meet Dumas tomorrow

WOOD HOMERS,
DUMAS FALLS
White Deer, July 19—Marvin
Paul went all the way here this
evening with fine control to win
the first go-round tournament and
shut out Dumas 4 to 0 as the All-
Stars now advance Dumas for
their second go-round tournament.
Roy Dale Wood lined one over the
right field fence in the first with
nobody on for the first tally, then
Larry Morrison singled in the
second for a RBI. Keith Cayton
came up with a hot liner to short
tonight to take the glove honors,
however, Dumas found a weak-
ness in the third. It seems no
one could hit a curve that drop-
ped, as Dumas came up 8 strike-
outs in 3 innings.
