May 29 TJie Jackson Generals moved to within one of the all-time Kitty League consecutive game losing record Saturday night when Fulton exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning and went on to dump them, 10-4. when the week closed. Madisonville's Pass, recently witched from third to short, is well on his way towards a league consecutive batting record.

He faced pitchers 31 times and responded with 15 hits; has connected in his last 11 contests. The jackpot boosted his average from a respectable .289 to an outstanding .368. Owensboro's Jerry Neil, crack second baseman, also assaulted the pitchers without any mercy last week. He through with 13 out of 27, getting at least one in all seven.

FRIEND League Statistician Al Shinn, Union City ilrst baseman, apparently has no immediate plans of telinqulshing bit hold on the Kitty League batting lead.

With tremendous pressure applied by at least six ambitious batsmen, Bob Latshaw, Madisonville skipper; teammate Lowell Menden-iiall from whom he took over; Hal Seawright, Fulton thumper; Bill Pass, Madisonville, most recent sensation; Bob Hantak, Owensboro, and Steve Durst, Hopklnsvllle, the Dodger star simply turned on the neat and kept a safe distance out in front to protect his coveted acquisition. Shinn, boosted his mace mark to an impressive .474 figure with a 25-point rise on basis of 12 hits in 27 times at bat. In 22 games he now has garnered 36 safeties for 61 total bases, the most. He has five doubles, four triples and four home runs, scored 30 runs and has been passed 37 times. He had his batting streak snapped at 12 games on May 22.

Bob Latshaw also set a lively pace at the plate, which was followed by several of his surging Miners who are in the midst of a winning streak after a slow start. The Miner boss has a mark of .425, just four points off his pace of last week. The layoff took the edge off Mendenhall's batting reflexes but the Union City outfielder needs no tears to be shed in his behalf since he is sporting a neat .421 in 15 games Fulton's explosive Hal Seawright added 30 points with 35-17, including four doubles and nine runs batted in, and is running fourth with a strong .419 in 22 outings.

the Jackson Junior Chamber of Commerce announced that it would sponsor the construction of a baseball park for the teen-agers and other amateur diamond enthusiasts of Jackson. Tomorrow night, College Park will be officially dedicated with the opening of the Jaycee-sponsor-ed Babe Ruth League. The event will mark the climax to two months of the finest example of community effort that Jackson could ever winess. Fans who turn out for this first night doubleheader will see "a base- ball field and facilities which would have cost close to $20,000 except for the generosity and pub-lic-mindedness of many Jackson firms and labor organizations. The Jaycees spent approximately $6,300.

Despite the fact that the work is 98 per cent complete, the park is not a finished product.

The field cannot possibly reach peak shape In so short a time. That is too much to hope for. Virtually every hour of labor on the park was donated, but the Jaycees have more than spent the amount of money allocated and the resulting debt has fallen on the shoulders of the Babe Ruth League.

It was McMillan's second error of the game. As imposing as Cooper's four-run blast was the effectiveness of the 33-year old lefty, Pollet. He faced only 31 baters, struck out six the side in the ninth and walked two in gaining his second victory against two losses.
