DEMONS 7-0
FRIDAY NIGHT
Bobby Moegle
Gets Three Hitter
Against Local Nine
Elgin’s baseball team, which
seems to hold a nemesis for
La Grange, “put the big pants”
on La Grange’s Demons there
Friday night, Bobby Moegle
hurling a three-hitter for a
blanking 7-0 win over the lo-
cals.
Elgin had previously refri-
gerated the Demons 9-7 in late
June here at Jaycee park.
On the mound, Moegle, plus
limiting the La Grange lads to
three hits, proceeded to make
matters a bit more emphatic
by fanning 5. He did slip and
walked 5. Bobby Nichols, toss-
ing for the Demons, gave up
7 hits, 7 runs, free-ticketed 5,
struck out 5, hit Lundgren,
rightfielder, and pitched wild
twice.
At bat, Ralph Rosenberg,
Demon centerfielder, slammed
out the lone triple of the game'
in the 8th, and his mate, Wel-
don Tiedt, second baseman,
twice singled. That was all the
scorekeeper could write in the
bang department for the De-
mons.
For the winners, Ronnie Ar-
buckle was tops with 2 for 4,
including the only double of
the fray. Singles were by
Flashkarnper, second sacker;
Watson, third baseman; Right-
fielder Lundgren: Shortstop
Kuempel; and Centerfielder
Symank.

team, sporting the best record

the locals in position to win
the championship of the en-

Dual Truck Crash
Severely Injures
Bastrop Negro
„ Oliver Waits, Bastrop coun-
ty Negro, lost his right foot
and part of his leg Thursday
morning in a traffic collision
near Hillcrest hall north of
Columbus on Highway 71.
He was riding in a bread
truck with George Washington,
Bastrop Negro, when it crash-
ed into a trailer truck loaded
with pipe that apparently had
rolled partly onto the highway
from where it was parked near
a roadside park.
The pipe-laden truck was
one of four headed for Kansas j
that had been left, beside the
highway while the drivers
came to town for the night.
Christopher Lee Williams,
driver of the big truck, said
he had set the brakes'and left
it in gear, but apparently some-
thing went wrong and the
truck rolled backward a few
dozen feet and jack-knifed
partly across the highway.
The chasis was knocked
from under the panel truck
Washington was driving and
the gas tank was ignited. Co-
lumbus firemen put out the
fire.
Mrs. Bill Hintz, who lives
nearby the scene, heard the
crash and called the sheriff’s
department.
Waits’ right leg was cut off
about 6 inches above the an-
kle. Both he and Washington
were thrown out of the truck.
They were returning to Aus-
tin after delivering a load of
buns in Houston.
They were brought to the
Columbus hospital by ’ a Co-
lumbus Funeral Home am-
bulance. —Colorado County
Citizen.
LOCAL MAN’S
CAR STOLEN
FRIDAY NIGHT I
Melvin Menking’s
Pontiac Is Taken;
State Search On
Smart automobile thieves
can start a car minus a key,
however, when you leave the
key in the car, it’s plenty easy
to chase off with it.
That’s what happened to
Melvin Menking, attache of
Janssen Bros., here Friday
night between 8:30 and 9:30
p. m.
Melvin parked his car—a
green 1949 Pontiac—in front
of the apartment in which he
resides at 209 East Fannin and
left the vehicle with a key in
the ignition.
Saturday morning, the Pon-
tiac was gone, however, (he
person who took it was kind
enough to park a 1949 Chevro-
let about a block from Mr.
Menking's apartment. It had
no license plates on it, accord-
ing to Sheriff T. Jr Flournoy.
Nat Rudi, who resides in the
vicinity, told the sheriff he
saw a man working with th£
latter car, however, he thought
that the fellow was repairing
a flat tire. The license plates,
which were subsequently re-
moved were believed to have
been from Kentucky, based on
the color as Mr. Rudi remem-
bered it.
A state-wide police short-
wave broadcast was being
made early Saturday morning
for the missing car, following
information sent in by Sheriff
Flournoy.
Saturday, owner of the
Chevrolet had not been deter-
mined.

United Lutheran
Celebration Draws
Crowd Of 1500 Here
An estimated crowd of 1500
people from many parts of
Texas braved the broiling heat
of Sunday afternoon to parti-
cipate in the dedication of the
United Lutheran church’s new-
ly acquired camp located seven
miles northeast of La Grange.
The Rev. J. M. Schedler of
Austin delivered the inspira-
tional address; the Rev. Frank
R. Wagner of Houston gaye an
informative talk; the Rev. Wil-
liam Hoebel of Dallas, blessed
the camp site; and the Rev.
Royal Lesher of Austin
brought greetings of the Texas
and Louisiana Synod. The offi-
ciating ministers were Rev. N.
H. Kern and the Rev. D. I.
Dolton, both of Houston.
Music for the singing and
devotion were provided by
Professor Frank Elsass and
quartet of the School of Music,
University of Texas, Austin.
The congregation joined in the
singing of hymns.
A barbecue concluded the
impressive ceremony.
The camp will serve the en-
tire synod which includes all
of Texas and Louisiana.
Geographically it is about the
center of the two-state area.
This year the camp will be
used for summer activities, but
eventually it will be a conven-
tion site as well as location fqr
many other group meetings
and activities.
