—Four teams from as many
nations meet In the 18th an-
nual Little League World Se-
ries today for the right to join
Monterrey, Mexico and Mobile,
Ala. in the semifinals.
Weishaden, Germany plays
Staten Island, N. Y.. in the first
game while Valleyfield, Can-
ada making Its fourth visit
here in the past six years, op-
poses Tachikawa, Japan.
Mobile notched a 6-2 opener
victory over La Puente, Calif.,
Tuesday, in the arm of and bat
of pitcher Joel Harp, wiping
out any chance that a Califor-
nia team would win an unpre-
cedented fourth title In a row.
Monterrey inaugurated the
classic by defeating Bartles-
ville, Okla., 7-2, scoring all its
runs in the third inning on five
hits and a walk. Five of the
runs were unearned as Bartles-
ville, making its debut in the
World Series, finale, commit-
ted four errors.
The righthanded Harp frit a
homer with two aboard to cap
a four-run rally in the fourth
In addition, he limited La Pu-
ente to five hits and struck out
11, walking only one.
The first inter-squad scrim'
mage of the season by the Cue-
ro high school Gobblers Is sche-
duled for 7:30 p.m. this (Wed-
nesday) evening. Coach Bill
Ford said.
Training the first week and a
half this year has been limited
to calisthenics and other condi-
tioning exercises with little or
no body contact work. Two a
day workouts have been con-
ducted, but after Thursday when
the last morning workout will
be held the squad will hold only
afternoon exercises beginning
at 5:30 p.m.
In Wednesday night’s session
Ford said he planned to work
the first varsity squad against
the number two team from 7:30
until about 8 o'clock, at which
time the second team will then
scrimmage the third team.
All team members, with the
exception of Donnie Polzin who
is sidelined temporarily with a
bruised leg, are in good physical
condition for the scrimmage
sessions. Several other players
have minor bruises, but none
are serious.
A second scrimmage is sche-
duled for the Gobblers this
week, this being against the
Goliad Tigers in Goliad Friday
night. Starting time for this
meeting is 7 o’clock. The only
other scrimmage booked with
an outside team is set for this
city at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept.
3.
Press Day was observed by
the Gobbler coaching staff Wed-
nesday morning at which time
pictures of the Cuero squad and
coaches were taken. Pictures
of the Drum major, majorettes,
twirlers and cheer leaders Is
to be taken at 5:30 p.m.
Thursday and pictures of the
freshman and B teams will be
taken at a date to be announced
later.
First game on the regular
Gobbler schedule is with the
Yoakum Bulldogs on Septem
her 11 at Gobbler Stadium
Game time will be 8 o'clock.
Failed to mention in the story
on Sunday's game here between
the Cuero Turkey Trotters and
the San Antonio Brown Bugs
that Cuero first baseman Andy
Franklin had to be removed
from the game after splitting a
fingernail on his right hand in
the fourth Inning. He finished
out the inning, hut was replaced
at the top of te fifth by Charles
Gohmert.
Franklin received medical at-
tention following the game and
was fitted with a metal shield
which insured his being able to
report for his Job Monday at
the Sears store In Victoria.
While on the subject of base-
ball, leaned Sunday that at
at least one more game and
perhaps two are on tap for the
Trotters before they hang up die
cleats for the season.
J. C. Mathis, who assumed the
job as field manager in addition
to that of business manager fol-
lowing Sunday’s encounter, said
the Trotters definitely will play
more baseball come Saturday
night. One game, with the Sa
Antonio Brown Bugs, is definit-
ely set and another is tentative-
ly arranged. The tentative tilt
is with the McFaddin Cardinals,
who currently are still parti-
cipating in the Victoria Semi-
Pro Tournament now going on
in the City of Roses. Due to this
fact, it is doubtful that they’ll
book a game with the Trotters
for Saturday nigh* in which ev-
ent there’ll be only a single
game here starting at 8 o’clock.
Will keep you informed in the
matter.
Lake would have little use for
such a gadget, but lovers o f
boating who venture into larger
bodies of wpter might find such
a thing right handy.
Refer to a direction finder that
a novice can use, according to
the manufacturer. It is design-
ed for the small boatmen (peo-
ple who operate small boats,
that is) who no longer need fear
sudden fog or darkness by ob-
taining a three-band automatic
direction finder that requires no
calculations or knowledge of
navigation. All a body must do
is to tpne the set on a broad-
cast station in the direction
in which you wish to head and
the course indicator will tell
you when you’re on beam.
The gadget operates from a
self - contained battery pack or
from 110 volt AC, and the de-
vice also will show you which
way to steer if you get off
course.
Now, if some fellow will come
up uilli a portable ‘whats-if to
transport the boatman from bis
automotive vehicle to the boat
landing, lie’ll have it made.
Although tin? first norther lias
not arrived, some have asked
the writer to repeal the mourn-
ing dove hunting season dates
for both the North and the
South Zones.
Okay. North Z-’ne - Sept.-m
trr 1 to October 30. South Zone
-September 26 to November 24
except in those counties having
whitewing season where it will
be September 26 to November
20.
Incidentally, the new official
dove maps are available at lic-
ense distributors such as sport-
ing goods store and at regional
and district departmental offi-
ces in their area for those in-
terested.
Fight Results
Tomorrow (Thursday) night,
at least three of the seven
