This hustlin' bunch of youngsters
from down Panhandle way, were on
their toes and played mart baseball
all the way, altho the Oil Cans had
plenty of chances to win the game
If Sanders, n of the best hitters in
the tourney, had been put in to pinch
hit when runner were or the paths.
Middleton, big lefthander of the
Texans, breezed along nicely, allow
ing only four hits up to the ninth,
where he was taken after he had
passed the first man up. Teddy
Nicklaus finished the game, walking
a couple to fill the bases, but he got
out of the hole without being scored
upon.
Bigbee's Errors Cost Him Game
Lyle Bigbee, the former Athletic
hurler, had a hop On his fast one, but
his inability to field his position cost
him his W game.
Amarillo scored its first tally in
the opening inning. Vaught, the sec
ond man up, vas hit by a pitched ball
and counted on Gibson's three-base
knock to right center.
The Pandhandlers counted again in
the third stanza. With one down,
Vaught drove one to center for two
bases and came we when Gibson
again hit in a pinch, this time a
hot single over third base.
In the seventh Amarillo pushed
three markers over, Farley, the first
man up, walked. He was safe at

Gibson's attempted sacrifice. Hayden
laid another down and Bigbee bung-
led this one, filling the bases. Close
cracked hot one to center for a
double scoring Farley and Gibson.

ming. That was all for the Texans
in the scoring line.
Parco scores One Run In Eighth

eighth. Turner, first man up. went
all the way to second on Vaught's
peg to the dugout. Skies out at first
put Turner on third and he scored
when Farley tossed out at the initial
sack.

down each time. In the seventh.
two were down and a inner was on
second and third, and the best Paul
could do was an cas- grounder to
Farley. In the ninth the bases were
loaded with one away and he famed
this time. Many of the sideline
managers thought II would have been
good policy to put Sanders In to hit
at these crucial times. as the big
hurler hit well In the first game of
the tourney.
Frank Il. Kistler. father OF the new
1 Parco, was on the bench during the
game and rooted hard for the OIL
Cans to come thru. After the fracas,
he said that the Parco boys were a
little ratified playing before 30 large
q crowd. but that the club was still

the afternoon. The ball seemed to
have II In for Jack. AS he caught one
in the Adams apple. another on the
