Infielder Pete Runnels, leading
Red Sox hitter last season, will

wrist injury he suffered when
r..t by a pitched ball. Doctors

Sports Oddity
Babe Ruth holds the all-time
major league record for re-
ceiving walks in one season. In
1923, the slugging ace of the
New York Yankees received
170 walks. And 80 of them
were issued intentionally.
and the overnight low was 61
degrees.
Ralph Hill, local weather ob-
server, reported the mid-day
temperature Monday as 75 de-
grees, relative humidity ns 50
per cent and barometric pres-
sure as 29.84 inches.
County Agent Brooks Em-
mons described the moisture
as of great value to Hopkins
County agriculture, which has
been suffering in recent weeks
from the dry topsoil.
It was the first rain of con-
sequence here since the end
of the long winter wet spell
March 25.
-Emmons said pastures would
be particularly benefited as |
growth had been held back by :
dr y conditions and a heavy |
dust coating had formed on j
grass and clover.
Aid to Late Planting
Young corn and cotton that j
has been planted also will be
helped, while the moisture will
put the ground in good shape
for later cotton planting and
for grain sorghums and Sudan
grass.
The rain was general over
central and eastern Texas,
with windstorms, hail and tor- I
r ential downpours occurring j
in some areas.
A thunderstorm at 9:30 a.
m. Monday sent winds gusting
up to more than 50 miles an
hour across Brown woo d.

hail, flooded streets.
Light hail rattled roofs at
Mineral Wells before dawn.
Tornadic winds caused con-
siderable damage last night at
Terrell.

que County 30 miles south-
west of Cleburne, Sunday aft- !
ernoon. Schulenburg had 5.55
inches. Warrenton 4.00 inches
and Columbus 3.20.
