NEWS SPORTS EDITOR
About baseball . . .
Royce Pierce came in to talk
to me the other day and told
me a new baseball team, known
as the Kermit Blue Sox, were
playing a regular schedule of
baseball here.
Team members are all resi-
dents of Kermit and play for
the fun of it. They receive no
pay and there is no charge for
their games. This week end
they will play here Saturday
night against a Midland team
and then Sunday afternoon
against Lamesa.
All home games for the Sox
will be played at county park.
The Blue Sox won their first
game last Sunday against Fort
Stockton 7-4. Pierce reported
they had no difficulty.
High school baseball . . .
High-flying Kermit Yellow
Jackets rolled into District
2-AAA sun spot Tuesday night
by defeating Brownfield 13-3.
Surprise games of the day
were Pecos’ drubbing of Ector
4-1 and Monahans dropping An-
drews 6-3. This leaves Kermit
in the driver’s seat since they
have played one more game
than four of the other teams.
Ken Mays and his Jackets
are leading the pack, I hope
they can steer that rocky road
home.
Permian B comes to town to-
morrow .(Friday) for a non-
district game. Permian B has
already fallen to the Jackets
once but are reported to be
improved somewhat.
Don’t forget, the baseball
players need your support if
they are to do what we all
want them to do. Hope to see
you at the park.
To the track . . .
Ed Robertson, Kermit High
Track Coach, reports his boys
are working hard in prepara-
tion for regional meet in Odes-
sa Saturday. Arthur Davis,
Ken Batchelor, David McGuire
and James Russell have all
quaified.
Their performances at An-
drews’ meet last Friday were
overshadowed, as was every-
thing, by the fine running of
Andrews’ relay teams.
And speaking of Andrews . . .
What a performance those
boys pfit on. I have attended
most of the meets in the area
this season but unfortunately I
missed that one. My congrat-
ulations to those fine runners
and their coach for that show-
ing.
Pony League scene ...
Winkler County Pony League
has gone to six teams and two
states. I am all in favor of
lems that I hope the league
directors have looked into care-
fully. Travel is the biggest
problem I think. J. R. Mc-
Anally, president of the league,
told me he was relying on the
boys’ parents for transportation.
I certainly hope it comes
through the way he sees it.
Got any suggestions . . .
This corner of The News
sports page is always welcom-
ing comments, hints, stories
and criticisms. If you have
anything to say about anything
concerning sports, drop me a
line care of the paper. And
if you are really excited, drop
in and say hello.
Pony League
Expansion
Announced
Winkler County Pony League
was expanded to six teams dur-
ing a directors meeting Mon-
day night at Chamber of Com-
merce office. Two Jal, N. M.,
teams will join the circuit ac-
cording to word from J. R. Mc-
Anally, league president.
Already in the league are
three teams from Kermit and
one from Wink. The expansion
received approval of Lewis
Hays, Washington, Pa., com-
missioner of Pony League Base-
ball, and A. H. Keever, Lub-
bock, Region 7 Director.
Pony League practice start-
ed Monday evening with first
games tentatively set for some-
time in May. A new schedule
of games, to include the en-
larged league, is being pre-
pared, a spokesman for the
league reported.
Appearing for the Jal teams
at the 3-hour session were Jim
Miller, C. H. Kirby, John Coop-
er, and Bob Dyer, all of Jal.
The two-state league sets a pre-
cedent for Pony League. Mc-
Anally reported that Commis-
sioner Hays said this was the
first time a league would have
teams: in two states. •

A pair of Corvairs recently recorded 27.03 and 26.21 miles per gallon in the
2,061.4-mile Mobilgas Economy Run. That’s certified proof that Corvair skimps
on gas costs. It saves other ways, too. Corvair is the only U. S. compact car
that never needs antifreeze or costly radiator repairs. Come in and drive the
compact car that outdoes them all.
Things Corvair gives you that America’s other compact cars can’t:
Practically flat floor ... real foot room for gas Run are higher than the average driver

Ronald Dean rifled the first
pitch of the second inning far
into center field for a round
tripper. Galindo also had a
double as did Fierro and Evans.
Brownfield’s scoring came on
a homerun by Anderson in the
first inning, after Teddy Howell
had reached first on a fielder’s
choice. Other score came after
two outs in the fifth when How-
ell singled and Cook drove him
in with another single.
Game was Kermit’s third
straight victory after losing the
district opener to Pecos. Brown-
field has yet to win a district
game.
Permian B plays at Kermit
to-morrow (Friday) in a non
district game and then Tuesday,
Ector’s Eagles come to town
in a district encounter.
Coach Mays said Dan Sealy
would hurl against Permian B
and Galindo would come back
against Ector. Sealy has a 3-0
record for the season while Ga-
lindo has been beaten only by
Pecos and Odessa. He has four
wins to his credit. Kermit
now has a 9-2 record for the
season and 3-1 in district.

Charged with going 45 miles
an hour in a 35-mile zone, Ben
E. Fenwick told Los Angeles
Judge Joseph Wapner: “Your
