The soft-spoKen. six-foot, one-

signed him.
"I don’t know just what did hap-

back him up. Rabe came on in

nine hitless innings for Lawton.

Rabe. who is single, is the only
baseball player in his family. His

records along with following all

baseball in high school.
The amazing part about Rube’s
record last season w.th Columbia
is that it came on the heels of two
years in the Army.

Ennis Daily News
To The Editor:
I was very pleased when I read
Mr. Carl Maloney's letter in Tin*
News on March 5. I'm glad to know
that other people realize what that
gate has done to fishing.
It's almost time to buy a season
ticket to fish on the City Lakes and
I was wondering if the price is go-
me to be cut. Since part of the
lake is bvne locked up to make it
.sm.idler I thought, perhaps the
price Is going to be smaller.
I’m getting pretty sure there are
other fishermen in Ennis who would
like m know who erected this gate,
h w and from whom did they get
permission.
