An infield drag and tamper were borrowed from the Jackson Generals' baseball club. Jaycee Lighting Chairman Joe Exum and Tom Fesmire of McMillan Electric Co. installed press box wiring Saturday. Exum said that only a few minor pieces of electrical work remain. Focusing of lights on three poles is being purposely delayed so that any bulbs that burn out before opening night can be replaced at the same time.

Reliable carpenter Willard "Catfish" Owens continued his almost daily contribution to the project as he and volunteer James B. Jones worked with Jaycees Jim Dalton and Al Pogue on interior carpen-trf details of the concession stand. They also screened in three sides of the press box. A. B.

Cathey finished cutting infield and outfield gras. despite intermittent showers that hampered all work during the day. wide wiring has been strung on the 20-foot high and 175 foot long backstop. The final strip will be the most difficult, but the Jaycees have showed a determination to complete the job. Scraping of foul lines and dirt portions of the infield was carried out Friday and Saturday by a City of Jackson Gallon road grader manned by John McKinney.

Babe Ruth League President Tom Voe-gell was high in his -praise of McKinney for the excellent job he did on the infield. "I don't believe we could have gotten the infield ready by opening day without this piece of city equipment and Mr. McKinney's ability to do such a fine- job," he added. A tremendous amount of work remains before the infield is in playing condition, though. Babe Ruth Leaguers turned out in good numbers" Saturday to work on the field, but the playing surface still is rough and unpacked in many spots.

Generals Tie After Failure Just when it seemed that they had dropped decisions in every conceiveable manner during their losing streak, the Jackson General came up with something different for their Kitty League record-tying 18th straight loss.

Thev didn't show up. When prolonged bus trouble prevented thr Generals from reaching Madisonville Saturday night, umpires forfeited the game to the Miners by a 9-0 score. Let it never be said that the ard-luck Jackson nine try to reach the Kentucky town. Manager Lou Lucas and his boys left Jackson on the bus at 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

Twenty hours later at" 9 p.m., the Generals were stranded at Crofton. 20 miles from Madisonville. Total distance traveled during that time 160 miles. A chronological account of the Generals trials and tribulations: 1 a.m. Saturday Depart Jackson.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston 0, New York 7 Baltimore 3, Cleveland 4 (10 innings) Chicago 5, Detroit 3 Philadelphia 10, Washington 3 NATIONAL LEAGUE Won Lost Pet. Behind By JOHN Baseball In Jackson It is difficult to believe that a ball team that continues to hustle as the Generals have can lose 13 straight games.

This would tend to disprove the long-expounded theory that a fighting team is a winning team. The Generals have battled but have yet to win a single game. There are a. combination of reasons behind the losses, with breaks and luck holding a place, but the key to the whole matter is that the material is simply not available. Several of the boys are good ball players although Chicago Scout Tony Lucadello recently indicated that only one or two have a real future in baseball.

Nevertheless, a player can perform well in Class circles without having a real future on the diamond, i Jackson has been rapping the horsehide well and has scored enough runs to win many games. Then the finger of guilt would point to the pitching staff. Undoubtedly, it is weak, but some of the fielding turned in behind the pitchers is enough to disillusion even a hardened veteran, let alone an inexperienced rookie. Jackson's hitting is fairly, adequate for a second-division Kitty League team, but this team can never expect to win without better pitching and fielding. Between the poor contests, cold weather and other inconveniences over which the Generals have no control, local fans have been staying away from Municipal Park in droves.

Sixty-nine were counted in the stands Thursday night and 56 on Friday. All in ill, the future is becoming blacker with each passing day. Here There Milwaukee Braves' scout showed keen interest in Eddie Crawford- of Jackson and Robert "Cob" jarvis in the Ole Miss playoff doubleheader against Georgia fThe popular Jacksonian made an excellent showing with three hits in six tries and a steal of home.

It was the fourth time this year New York had held the Phillies scoreless. Gomez was occasionally wild but the Giant infield kept him from disaster. His own fielding helped his cause. He started two of the Giants' four double plays. Also hogging the show for the winners were Monty Irvin and Don Mueller.

Irvin's two-run homer in the first inning and Mueller's triple in the second that scored Irvin were more than enough to win. In the sixth, Irvin scored his third run of the night, after which Muller stole home. NEW YORK AB A Lockman, lb 5 0 0 11 1 Dark, ss 4 0 0 4 6 Thompson, 3b 3 10 0 1 Irvin.
