fielder Demon Williams made an over-
the-shoulder running catch to retire the
side.
Williams then opened the second in-
ning with a single to center. He ad-
vanced to second on a one-out balk
before Bobbitt recorded his third strike-
out of the game. Williams then tried a
delayed steal to third and came home
when Bubba Turner's throw went into
left field. Clint Norsworthy led off the.
Eagle's half of the frame with a single.
David Twilligear lined out to center, and.
Cory Thomas's ground ball to second
base ended in a double play to end the
threat.
A wild 3rd inning produced three runs
for the Tigers. A single, an error, and a
bunt loaded the bases. The Tigers
Dwight Hamilton took off to steal home,,
and Bobbitt rushed his pitch just enough]
to sail it past Turner. The Tigers tried to
steal home again, but Bobbitt and
Turner connected on a pitch-out to nail
Jason Davis. Chad Sego, who was on

way home when time was not called,

Berube Benefit Fund Established
Gary Beesinger, Treasurer for the
Archer City Lions Club has announced
that the club has established an account
at the First State Bank in Archer City to
serve as a fund to benefit local resident,
Sam Berube. Last week, Sam was diag-
nosed as having a tumor behind his right
eye, and surgery has been scheduled for
determining malignancy and removal.
There is also a possibility that a lens
implant will be required.
Beesinger stated that one of the main
services offered by Lions Clubs is for
helping the visually impared and the
local club has been priviledged to pur-
chase numerous eyeglasses for county
residents and school children over the
past few years. "When we were notified
of Sam's situation, we knew we didn’t
have near the amount of total funds
needed to help, but we wanted to do
what we could." stated Beesinger. "We
are going to try and set up several col-
lection points and we will be contacting
local businesses and other Lions Clubs
in our District for their help." Beesinger
stated that the reason the Club wanted to
be involved was because Berube was
self-employed and will be unable to
work for approximately two months,
and he has no medical insurance to help
pay for the appoimately $8,000 worth
of expenses he will be facing in the next
few weeks.
Anyone wishing to make a tax deduct-
ible donation may clo so by check or
certified funds payable to: Archer City
Lions Club - Sam Berube Benefit Fund
and mailing it to the Club at P.O. Box
1248, Archer City, or by making a de-
posit directly at the bank. All receipts
collected will be paid directly to the
medical provider by the Lions Club,
and upon completion of the project, a
list of donors will be made available to
the family.
