PICKENS WIN DONKEY
GAME FROM DURANT

The Pickens Rotary club count
ed one run in the final inning of
a scheduled four-frame contest
to hand the Durant Rotarians a
/ to 0 defeat in one Of the most
hilarious and comical donkey
baseball tits ever witnessed in

The game was played Friday
night at the Holmes Junior Col

The locals had the bases full
and only one man out in the
third chapter, but the burros did
not want to do the right thing
and consequently remained squa-
rely on their bases. Players really
had the times of their lives try

WALKING ACROSS STREET

A peculisr accident occurred
Wednesday about noon in Due

Cooper were hit and gknocked
down by a driver from Chicago
Illinois. The driver of the car
was a young man and he was
said to have been going at a very

stop dead still the moment he
hit the young couple. He had
just turned the corner on high
way 81 south to turn right into
Mulberry Street when the acct
dent occurred.
MI. and Mrs. Cooper were
walking across the street when
they were hit. 1t is believed that
they are not seriously hurt but
just badly bruised and shaken
up. Hope is held for their i'm.

DURANT S~OFTBALLERS
WIN OVER Goes 12-1

Coming to life with their blud-
geons and playing almost error
less ball afield, the Durant soft
ballers gave the local CCC con-
tingent a thorough trouncing
here last Thursday by a IL to I
count.
The winners collected 16 safe
ties during the smuggling spree,
including 5 for extra bases, and
held the opposition runless until
the fifth when the losers garner
ed 3 of their 6 blows obtained off
Bill Montgomery to push their
only marker across the platter.
The game was not without
some excellent fielding on the
part of several players. On one
occasion Carruth took a long
drive just off his shoetops in
center field to retire Neal,
Brown at third handled s chances
flawlessly and Beard in left
field for the CCC boys was a
constant barrier in the way OF
prospective Durant hits, retiring
9 men on long drives and barely
missing another.
Montgomery tossed to only 81
b%atters in the 9 innings Of the
contest. He retired the side in
order in the second, third, sew.
enth, eighth and ninth frames.
Had not the losers suffered a
very bad collaspe in defensive
work, the final count would have
been much closer, as eight runs
resulted directly from 10 mis-.
cues.
The victors registered in every
count except the fourth, but
they hit safety in every inning.
Wilkes led the hitters with a
single, double and triple, while
Brown, L. Clements, Carruth
Priester, Wurz and Odom con.
tributed a pair of raps each.
The totals were: Durant, IL
runs, Is hits, / error; CCC camp
l run, 6 hits, 10 errors.
