1964 Championship
Les Blume’s La Grange Jay-
cee Demons annexed the
South-Central Texas Amateur
League championship for 1964
with an 11-4 victory over Wei-
mar’s Veterans Sunday at Wei-
mar.
The triumph was La
Grange’s second straight in the
best of three finals.
The Demons spiked a pair in
the second on a hit batsman,
Marv Kuhn’s double and Clint
Btppert’s single, and were ne-
ver headed thereafter. La
Grange, scoring four more in
the third and a trio in the
fourth to go far out front,
meantime got topnotch hurling
from Bippert and Bob Cooper,
who toiled the final four stan-
zas. They doled out nine hits
between them and got well
nigh perfert support with the
Demons committing only one
bobble.
Once more it was long ball
clouting that abetted the De-
mon cause. Bippert socked a
solo homer in the fifth and
Charlie Otto, who had doubled
in a run in the third inning up-
rising, bashed out a four-mas-
ter in the sixth
La Grange collected 10 safe-
ties off a trio of Vet chunkers,
with four of them good for ex-
tra bases. Billy Fritz, Demon
centerfielder, was most produc-
tive with the stick, singling
three times.
Narwin Koehn opened on the
hill for Weimar, but gave way
to Russel Nix in the third af-
ter being charged with six
runs. Pete Stavinoha relieved
Nix after Otto’s homer in the
sixth and he hurled hitless ball
over the rest of the distance.
La Grange ended the season
with an overall 20-5 won-lost
record, losing only two games
during the regular league
campaign.
