Belles Drop
Close One
To Shiner
The Chisholm Belles outhit
the Shiner ladies softball team
13-12 but the Shiner girls out-
scored the Belles 12-6 in their
meeting Tuesday night at Shi-
ner.
Ullman was credited with the
win and Alene Kenne took the
loss.
Three homers were racked
up during the contest, two by
the Shiner nine and one by
Cuero’s slugger, Pcnnetta Roy.
Roy had a homer and three
singles in four times at bat in
the game.
Shiner went out ahead in the
initial frame and were never
headed picking up two in the
first, three in the third, three
in the fourth, three in the fifth
and one in the sixth.
The Belles scored one in the
second on Roy’s homer and
were unable to get on the score
board again until the seventh.
In the seventh, the Belles got
seven of their 13 hits and added
five runs but it was too little,
too late.
Thursday night the Belles
will entertain the ladies from
Nordheim at Live Oak Park
with gametime set for 8:30 p.
m. The Belles and Nordheim
have met twice this year with
the Cuero ladies winning both
contests.
Southern coach Jesse Martin
of Houston Waltrip said Tues-
day he thought there must be
plenty of taller boys in North
Texas, but said he did not think
coaches in that area made use
of die tall boys they had.
Over 6,000 Expected
An overflow crowd of more
than 6,000 persons is expected
to fill sultry Alamo gymnasium
tonight to see Martin's tall boys
go after a fifth straight South
victory.

Today is the deadline for en-
try in the Annual Junior Boys
and Girls Invitational Golf
Tournament scheduled for Cue-
ro park Friday. An entry fee of
52.50 includes greens fee, iced
tea and eats, according to Park
Munager and Pro Carl Gustaf-
son. The tourney Friday in-
cludes four divisions for boys
with four trophies to be award-
ed in each division and three
girls’ divisions with trophies
awarded to first, second and
third places in each group.
It would be awfully nice to be
able to come to work of a mor-
ning and find that a little elf
had slipped in during the nigh;
and finished this column. Out
on the hill I have noticed a
"letter to the editor” started in
the typewriter but it hasn't ad-
vanced any in the past several
days so I can’t count on it as
yet. Think the weather has fin-
ally gotten the better of me. I
can’t seem to think of anything
but how hot and dry it is.
The Toros, San Antonio’s en-
try in the Texas Professional
Football league, are schedul-
ed to play their second game
Saturday night at New Braun-
fels. The Toros defeated the
Wichita Falls Kings last week
in the Alamo City 40-13 in their
first outing. Opponents this
weekend are the Fort Worth
Texans, also a new entry in Lie
league. The game in New
Braunfels, being sponsored by
the Jaycees of that city, will be
played at Unicom Stadium be-
ginning at 8 p.m
I might as well say It — ev-
ery other sportswriter has —
football is in the air. Those lad-
ies that don’t like football on
their television screens had best
start making arrangements for
a seeond set because, let’s face
! it, the time is here. This week-
i end the tube has two games,
: one Friday night and another
i on Saturday. And, that is ju.-t
the beginning.
