All Star Softball
Team Is Selected
Houston League Leaders Place
Several On Team

This week the five managers and
League officials voted in an ALL
Star Softball Team. The team is
composed of Norman Warren. Paul
McNatt and Gerald Smith from the
Red Men; John Dorman, John Nc
Broom and Bobby Porter of the
V. F. W.; Dwight Short and the
brother team of George and Tom
my Adams from the Jaycees. Hous-
ton had nominated Wesley john
son, Jack Dill and Bill Morris Rich
Wilson's Independents selected Joe
Todd, John Dalfonso and Pearce
Beebe. The pitchers are Tex Hen
don from Houston, Ronald Bren-
gle. of the Jaycees and Pete Des-
mond of the Red Men. Walt Hoyt
is their manager and Lloyd Elton
and Charley Porter are coaches.
This should be fine team to rep
resent Milford when playing ALL
Star teams from surrounding
towns.
Houston is still leading the
League. Tex Hendon carries on
with his fine pitching and is being
backed up by some good fielding
and hitting from the rest of the
boys.
