SKELTON Associated Press Sports Writer HOUSTON" CAP) Businessmen hoping to bring major league baseball to Houston say they have a definite plan that will be developed only on an orderly basis. "We have applications on file with both the National and American leagues but the proper time for formal appearances before the leagues will come when we have our own house a little bit more in order," said Craig Cullinan head of a syndicate seeking the franchise.

Cullinan's group spearheaded a successful campaign that saw Harris County residents on July 26 approve a 20-million-dollar revenue bond proposal for a county stadium and sports center. Cullinan, however, emphasizes that much preliminary work still must be done. "The way I look at it is that the major league people have a right to expect that we prove to them that we mean business," said Cullinan, an heir to an oil fortune. "We intend to do that and right now we face a double-barreled situation getting sufficient leases to support the stadium and getting he saditnn bufl.

The best-of-seven match opens Sept. 20. Sharon Defeated SHARON, Tenn. The visit ing Ky. football team handed Sharon a 26-0 setback here Thursday night as Ful ton's quarterback, Charley Forrest, crossed into paydirt three times.

Fulton ran up a 13-0 first Eagles--- (Continued from page 8) t.ct duplicate of the first half with neither club able to dent the other's fine defensive set up until late in the period when Henderson suddenly began to move. Roy Lynch reeled off 20 yards from his own 40 to the Tribe 40. Then came the key play with Kent finding Rowland streaking off in the right flat all alone. The sharp Eagle quarterback fired the ball right into the hands of his halfback and Rowland flashed to the North Side 18 before being tackled. The third quarter end ed with the score still tied at 0-0.

The final period was only 48 seconds old when Kent and Rowland combined on the same pass play which worked so well just minutes before this time it payed off the big dividend and meant the game. Following the kickoff North Side reeled off two quick first downs to the Eagle 36 only to run out of gas. At this point the game became a travesty of penalties. During one stretch four straight infractions kept the officials more than busy. North Side had one last try left and Henderson handed them the opportunity that might have led to a tie.

The Eagles, forced to punt, had a poor center-snap roll back to the kick er. His knee touched the ground where he picked the ball up and North Side took over on Henderson's 30 with 25 seconds left to play. One pass deep to the right side was batted down at the goal line and a second pass was intercepted by Rowland with just five seconds left to play. That was it. Henderson has now won four straight games in the 1958 sea son without a set-back.

The Eagles demonstrate speed, dar ing and coaching a hard combination to beat. North Side once again show ed that determination can make up for the lack of weight A little more offensive punch and the Indians could battle with the best of them. Pos.
