The amazing thing about the
crew was that after working "a
days for sixteen hours day, they
still had so much fun on the job.
BY the time the field was fin
ished the sun had gone behind
Rattlesnake butte and angry heat
lightning was probing the sky to
the north. Everyone piled into
the back of wheat truck and had
a big wheat-throwing fight all the
way back to the Henry Smith
ranch.
After the hot field and boiling
dust, it was almost unbelievable
to see the women, with the meal
already prepared, resting on lawn
furniture on a cool concrete patio
by the house at the Henry Smith
ranch house. The Woodworking
cooks were Mrs. Henry Smith and
daughters Florence and Arlene,
and Mrs. Carl Smith.
The meal was something you
dream about but rarely meet
fried chicken, corn on the cob,
potato salad, sliced tomatoes, ice
cream, watermelon and lots OF
everything.
The crew didn't waste much
time hitting the hay after the meal.

 Philadelphia topped Cleveland, f. 3, on a fly ball that bounced off the head of the Indians center fielder, Larry Dolby. A single and a walk off loser Bob Lemon set the stage. Don whites fly was mis- judged by Dolby for two-run error.
 Frank Shea, a New York Yankee problem child, needed help from AL lie Reynolds in the ninth to blank St. Louis, 40.
