Kerrville, Tex., April 27—W—
Kei rville citizens set out yesterday
to build a million-dollar park by
sundown. They made it—with a
good half hour to spare.
Work began at 6:30 a.m. Sun
down was at 7:05 pirn. By 6:30
the last strip of concrete.had been
smoothed out and the last bit of
debris carried away.
By 7 the park lights were on
and people were driving through—
admiring their own handiwork.
This morning, about a thousand
Kerrville and Kerr County resi
dents went to the park for a pic

could record the last- act in the
transforihation of a rustic wood in

conquest over the Groesbeck Goats
in a District 20-A baseball game
played in Sports Park yesterday
afternoon.
The classy junior struck out 19 of
the 21 batters facing him to give
the Bengals their fourth straight
win and virtual dominance of their
half of the loop.
At the plate Jones collected three
times as many as he yieled to op
posing batsmen. He allowed Bob'
Bradeley, Goose pitcher, a scratch
single, while collecting three hits
out of four trips to the plate.
Consolidated, making 10 hits in
the game, was paced by Byron An
drews, Dick Dowell, John Hilde
brand, and ' Jones, who collected
more safeties than any other bat
ter.
Andrews, a freshman first base-
man with lots of promise, had a
perfect day at the plate, collect
ing two for two. Dowell, plaving potatoes,
at the center field position, slam
med out two base-hits in four at
tempts at the platter.
The Tigers scored in the first
inning when Hildebrand singled,
advanced to second, and came home
on Jones’ single,
Consolidated added six big runs
in the second canto as a result

According! to Vance there are
