BOERNE WHITE SOX
WIN HILL COUNTRY
LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
The Boerne White Sox defeat-
ed the Camp Stanley Defenders
here Sunday by a score of 4 to
2, winning the Hill Country
League Championship. The
White Sox won 3 games to the
Defenders 1 in a best 3 out of 5
series.
It was another pitcher’s duel
between R. Minor for Camp
Stanley and La Fond for Boerne.
Camp Stanley scored a run in the
first inning on some loose field-
ing by the White Sox to go a-
head 1 to 0. Boerne came back
to tie it up in the 2nd, when with
one down, G. Uecker and Beck-
man walked, La Fond, next up
lined a double against the left
field wall, scoring G. Uecker and
tieing up the ball game 1 to 1.
From there on both teams set-
tled down util the 8th inning
when Nagel, first up got his sec-
ond single, was sacrified to sec-
on by J. Uecker, went to third
on a passed ball and scored when
Bourgeois laid down a neat bunt;
and the latter scored when R.
Minor, fielding his bunt, threw
it into right field. W. Bergmann
then doubled into leftfield and
scored on Beckmann’s single,
making the score 4 to 1 in
Boerne’s favor. Camp Stanley
came back to score 1 run in the
ninth on C. Patton’s single and
Kunz’s double, and after G.
Minor struck out, Kunz was
caught off second base by a
neat play from La Fond to Berg-
mann, thus ending the game.
Leading, hitters of the day
were Valdez from Camp Stanley
getting two doubles out of 3
times at bat and Nagel from
Boeme getting 2 singles out of
4 times at bat. La Fond, Kunz,
and W. Bergmann each got a
double. The fielding play of the
game went to Theis, leftfielder
for the White Sox when he rob-
bed Menn of a home run in the
third inning.'

took place right after the game
by Alfred Norris, President of
the Hill Country League to the
