The listless New York Yankees, so far in front of the American league that few people pay any attention to them, were shut out, 8-0, by the Boston Red Sox as Jack Wilson pitched four-hit ball for his first complete game of the season. The wave of "beanings" during the weekend brought on a fight as part of the doubleheader between the St Louis Browns and the White Sox at Chicago.

Mothei OfBoy In Army Asks Fair Treatment The Herald herewith publishes a letter submitted by "a soldier boy's mother." The Herald has a policy against publication of letters not carrying personal signatures, and even on non-controversial subjects such as this the paper much prefers that they be "Just how do you think the col- diers ought to be treated when In your town? The other night when the army boys came to town, I heard a woman say, Why did they let all those boya come to town? She said they ought not to be aJ- lowed to get out like this and they ought to be kept in camp because they made her so nervous she Just called a taxi and went home. "Well, I am glad I don't feel that way for, Dear Lady, those boys are some Mother's, some Daddy's son, some girl's brother and maybe some other girl's best friend. "How can some people feel that way about the army. The boy had to leave all those so dear to him behind while he had to go and serve his country, to go train to be a soldier and to protect your country, your freedom. "Here's how his Mother feels about not only her boy but all the dear boys: I say give him a sweet smile and say God blesa you.

He would appreciate that, I'm sure. I think B. soldier boy deserves the highest respect of all. When they come to town let us all treat them kind, for they may be lonesome and blue. In the army they don't have much freedom.

Now Just a word to the army boy be honest, be faithful, be true for Mother at home is praying for you God bless you all."

Lately he has been angling around for another hurler but, since he wants to get a good lad while he's about it, he's had to do a bit of figuring. Delbert Thurman, 16-year-old Lamosa high school lad made his debut with AmariUo here last night. He was signed up by the Gold Sox last Saturday.

Thurman has been connected with baseball at Lamesa, but as a peanut vender instead of a player. Having picked up a fancy curve somewhere along the trail, Delbert is being given a chance to wind up the season with a pro club Monday night, he went into the game at the last of the sixth, held the Bombers hitless and scoreless for that frame and the seventh, and gave up two hits and a run in the eighth and final at bat for Big Spring. Stage fright seemed to be his only weakness. If last night's showing is any indication of the sort of stuff he has on the ball, it looks as though some of the loop managers have been overlooking a good prosoect. District 3-AA did itself proud in the All-Star high school football tussle at Houston Saturday night.

Two of the lads, Big Spring's Clifton Patton and Odessa's Billy Hogan, turned in games that were marked outstanding. Clifton, holding down one of the North's tackle positions, blocked a Southern punt to prepare the ground for his club's initial score. Hogan, although he showed his wares in the losing Southern team's backfield, made a bid for top-notch honors. As as been the case since last fall, Patton is getting primed to enter Texas this fall.

Risinger came into the game to finish the fifth, but left tha mound in the sixth after being hammered for three runs and four hits. Delbert Thurman then came into the contest and pitched a smooth, hard-to-hit curve over the rest of the route. It was tho 16- year-old pitcher's first game with the Gold Sox and his initial actual test under fire. He gave up one run and two hits during the three innings ha served.
