AU- Despiie Late Inning Threat South Overcome By Hearne Fire By MAURICE OLIAN College Station American South failed to overcome a five-run uprising by Hearne in the first inning of Tuesday night’s semi-final game in the Area 3 Little League Tourna ment, and as a result, was eliminated 7-3 despite a late threat. The College Station all-star nine, piloted by Bill Bates, had previously defeated Bryan National West 7-0 Monday night at Williamson Park in a first round tourney encounter, as Dennis Muth twirled a two-hit masterpiece. Hearne’s five big runs came on four base hits, an error, and two free passes. Jimmy Nail, the third in a line of three College Station American South hurlers used^ Two Championsliips Won In Tennis Tour ney Tuesday, limited the victors to only four hits and one run, walked three, and chalk ed up eight strikeouts in a neat five-inning relief job. College Station tallied once in the fourth on two hits, an error, and a passed ball. They scored twice in the bottom half of the sixth inning on two safeties, a pair of walks, and a couple of Hearne miscues, but that early five-run bulge that increased to 6-0 in the second-inning was too much to overcome. Jody Rush led the American South at the plate with his 2-for-3. In Monday’s tilt, Muth was su perb as he struck out twelve and did not walk a single batter. He had twirled perfect ball until the Tigers Roar Off Unbeaten With Half-game Lead Ed Logan’s Tigers are “off and running” in the College Station Recreation Council Softball League. At the con clusion of the first two week ends of play, the Tigers have won three and gone undefeated, giving them a one-half game lead over the Tired Nine. The Tired Nine is the loop’s only other undefeated team, boasting a perfect 2-0 record. They are fol lowed, in turn, by the Vets and the Flashes (tied for third place), the Duffers, and the Eagles. In this week-end’s activity, the Flashes battle the Tigers, and the Duffprs tangle with the Eagles in tomorrow’s double-bill. Saturday, the Vets are pitted against the Duffers, and The Tired Nine meets the Tigers, the latter tilt being the season’s first “big” game. STANDINGS TKAM W Xu Pet. C1B Tigers 3 0 1.000 — top half of the fourth frame, when Isaac Montoya singled through the middle. Home-runs—a two-run blast by Muth in the first round and a three-run shot in the third inning by Les Palmer—furnished the loud noise for College Station against Bryan National West, defending Area 3 champions. Another tally came in the third on a walk, a sac rifice, and an error. The seventh, and final, marker crossed the plate in the fourth frame, with a base on balls, a stol en base and an error being the cause. Other tourney results found Bry an American North trouncing Bry an National East, 15-4; American NoiTh blanking Navasota, 7-0; American North downing Hearne 8-3 for area title.

UP> — This small town in Mississippi’s agricul tural Delta was named for the hour it was won in a poker game. Around the turn of the century, pioneer land owners would take time out from clearing the land and relax over a poker game. One of the land owners bet and lost all of his cleared land and the game broke up. The new owner glanced at his w r atch and announced he would name his land “Midnight.” Close Out Items Large 12’ Cedar Post . Ea. $1.00 12” Concrete House Blocks ....
