Holman Stadium—Vero Beach, Fla.
A summer playground in the winter months and a vacation spot
the year round—that's Vero Beach, in the picturesque Indian River
country of Florida.
Centrally located on Florida's East Coast, Vero Beach's proud boast
is its weather and climate. The city is in a favored climate of equitable
temperatures, the average being 65.8 in winter and 80.7 in summer.
Sunshine and salt water are The sub-tropical climate also al-
mixed well at Vero Beach. The
beach area of this vacation city is
located on a beautiful island, 36
miles long and one-half to one
mile wide. It is connected to the
mainland by a new steel and con-
crete bridge which with its wide
sidewalks and night illumination
make it a popular round-the-clock
fishing spot.
Good Accommodations
A variety of accommodations,
■from cozy trailer camps and mo-
tor courts to luxurious hotels and
clubs are available to visitors, and
facilities are not overcrowded dur-
ing the summer months. Popula-
tion is about 8,500 and all facilities
■—municipal, business and tourist
—are modern and complete.
The Indian River country is
famous for its orange groves, but
sugar cane, truck crops and cattlc
are important economic factors.
lows for many exotic fruits, al-
though these are grown mainly on
a non-commercial basis. Typical
are mangoes, avocados, bananas,
guavas, Surinam cherries, rose
apples, lichi nuts, papayas, coco-
nuts and persimmons.
Dodgertown
Vero Beach is also a familiar
dateline in sports, for here is the
winter home of the Los Angeles
Dodgers. Called "Dodgertown," a
complete spring training camp
with facilities for 700 to 800 ball
players and 100 staff personnel is
generally conceded to be the larg-
est and most advanced baseball
school in the world.
A tropical paradise at Vero
Beach is Mckee Jungle Gardens,
where visitors explore the trails
where exotic orchids grow wild
with thousands of rare plants and
trees from the tropics of the world.

lock and Tex Aduddell were the
winning pitchers.
The team spent most of "the
rest of the day catching up on
their sleep. At 6:00 p.m. they
watched the game between Phil-
lips and Stratford. The Cubs then
played again at 8:00 with another
Phillips team. At the end of
three full innings the Cubs were
in the lead 6-0. In the fourth
Phillips came in with seven runs.
The Cubs did not score. In the
top of the fifth Phillips came in
with two more runs. Score Phil-
lips 9. Claude 6. In the bottom
of the fifth the Cubs came in
with two runs. Tex Aduddell hit
a home-run with two men on
base but he missed second base
and was put out. Score, Phillips
9, Claude 8. Top of the sixth
Jerry Bartley struck the first
three boys out. When the Cubs
came to bat the boys were ex-
cited and trying so hard to get
a hit that the first two up struck
out. The next one hit a ball to
second base and was out on
first. The ball game was over.
The Cubs had lost out in the
tournament but, according to
one Claude sponsor. "If Claude
people could have seen how the
boys played their hearts out they
would have been just as proud
of them as the leaders were. It
was a disappointment that not
one person from Claude outside
of the sponsors, saw the ball
game Saturday night."
The local baseball season is
over except for one game with

the ranches are hardpressed to
find qualified cowboys. Several
factors are involved to produce
the situation, the principal one
being cowboy pay. The work is
hard, the hours are long and as
a rule the filling station attend-
ant has a better job. On the
other hand, men and boys like
cowboying. It is a satisfying hob-
by for those who can afford it;
a game that continues to fasci-
nate some men all of their lives.
It is the feel of a good horse
under the saddle, the* pressure of
leather chaps against the legs,
boots in the stirrups, and the
mastery, of the eventful moment
that makes men kings. As a youth
I felt the bewitching attraction a
few times but escaped through
a few brushes with unpleasant
reality. In retrospection I feel
that a roguish milk cow who al-
ways managed to get through the
fence into the cane patch deve-
loped an aversion to cowboying
in me. I usually chased her out
riding bareback in the heat of
the day when prespiration and
overall ducking can become very
uncomfortable.

Trail dnst
By Douglas Meador:
When the last yearling has
been tallied and driven up the
chute of a cattle space ship,
there will still be cowboys, just as
when the last golf ball has teen
lost in the rough, there'will still
be golfers. Cowboying, however,
is a different kind of a game
than golf, and men are born with
a love for it. It is probable that
Texas now has more cowboys
than at the zenith of its era of
great ranches, yet by a paradox
created by the changing times.
