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 nic—so that newsreel cameramen could record the last- act in the transforihation of a rustic wood in to “Louise Hays Park.” Build-a-park day was part of Kerr County’s 94th annversary cel- Consolidated Clips Groesbeck, 10 to 1 A&M Consolidated’s right hand hurling ace—Roland Jones—pitch ed and batted his team to a 10-1 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 ef singles by Jones and Cecil Burke, four (loose miscues, and two bases on halls. To make the most of Jones’ hit ting strength, he has been raised from the -regular batting position occupied $y hurlers to sixth In the lineup. ebiation. “Everybody had of church J iLC>Uege r Build Pa rk-A-D< a lot of fun” said newspaper published vspapi Braswell. “The contracto Sam helped out said as Soon as they got home they werj going to try to figure out how to get their boys to work like; that aill the time.” In a hill n the noon shift sat down to barbecue for lifnch—and ail were fed and back on the job in 33 minutes.

At 3 p[ m., the lapt link in a pontoon foot bridge, floated on steel oil drums, connected the park with dowptown Kerrvi|lle.
