League Leaders Here For Game Sunday Batesville will play at the Nashville diamond next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p. m.

central daylight saving time. According to latest refjSrts, they lead the Southeastern Indiana (American Legion) league. The Brown County Legionnajres, gaining much needed experience with every game, will be' battling for their second league victory but they need your backing! Volunteer workmen are needed, for Saturday afternoon at which time more wcrk will be done on the bleach ers and grandstand as well as other jobs that need to be done before the field is in first class condition.

Also, it will allow only those connected with the game on the field.

So, if you aren't doing anything Saturday afternoon, Join the fellows at the ball diamond and help put this field in good shape. Failing miserably in an attempt to hold an early-inning five run lead, the Brown County Legionnaires went down to defeat by the lopsided score of 15 to 5 in a game against North Vernon last Sunday. It was a regularly scheduled Southeastern Indiana league game and was played at the 'Jennings County fairgrounds, home parK or ine norm veinon tiuerican Legion team. Only a small crowd witnessed the game, mostly due to the fact that the, grandstand immediately behind home plate had burned several days previously and no arrangements had been made to seat spectators. The local vets batted around in the first inning and looked like sure winners as they pounded Dixon, the North Vernon hurler, for five runs on four hits with two errors aiding the cause.

Harry Voland, third baseman, led off with a hit, Keith Moore got jii first when a throw to second base too late to cut oir oiana. iNorin emon again failed to get the third baseman on a play to when Kd Howard hit one and the bases weie loaded. KainS bounc-Jd one und in the ensuing scramble Volapd scored but K. Moore was caught at the play, third to home. "Mike" David, Legionnaire right fielder, drove in Howard with a hit and Merrill Moore, manager and center fielder, brought in two more with a sharp double.

The locals scored one other run when Dale Mathis singled to drive in Moore. This ended the Brown County scoring for the day, 'however, and they could get only six well-scattered hits the rest of the game. Dick Snyder, starting pitcher for the locals, and Voland slapped out singles in the 7th but Snyder was caught at third trying to advance and ended the threat. Again in the 9th, Mathis and Voland singled but the threat did not materialize in scores. Only nine men faced Snyder during the first thiee innings.

The 7th man to fac; him got on by an error but Snyder, on a otiap throw to Mark Bright at second, picked him off and then Went on to retire the next two men in that inning. Brown county's pitcher tired, however, and coupled with very loose support dealt out by his teammates, aided North Vernon in getting two runs in the 4th. two more in the fifth and eight in the 6th inning. Snyder was lesponsible for four of these while Bright, who relived him after none were out in the 6th, permitted four more as the host team took a 12 to 5 lead. Then in the 7th Bright failed to get a man out and was driven to cover with Carroll "Santy" McDonald, a southpaw, making his debut for Brown County.

Aside from Snyder's first 3 innings, McDonald's relief pitching was the best bit of work for the af ternoon as he pitched two full innings, allowing only two hits, while walking no one and striking out one ibatter. Preston Crabtree did a good job behind the plate after relieving Rains in the 7th. It was his first game. North Vernon outhit the locals by just one but loose playing and, apparently, lack of team spirit, was against the local vets. Harry Voland and Dale Mathis were the hitters of the day with three bingles each while Merrill Moore got the only extra base hit for the locals a two-bagger in the first inning.

The box score follows: Brown County (5 AB A Voland, 3b 5 3 2 1 K. Moore, lb 3 1 7 1 Howard, If 3 0 2 0 Rains, 2 0 4 0 Crabtree, 1 0 2 0 Sellers, cf 0 0 10 0 Bright, ss-p 3 0 1 2 McDonald, 1 0 0 0 William Carl Wilson, widely known as "Tramp Starr" fox' nis "Jokes and Jingles by Curley "Shingles" column which appeared each Sunday in the Indianapolis Star, died of a heart attack yesterday evening about 6:30 o'clock at his inn here.
