lBASlIElBAlILllL The Spring of 1935 will always be remembered as our greatest year in baseball. We thought we had a fast club in '34 when Percy Appleton let the Mason county champions down in an easy game, 16 to 6. We believed the club could hit when R. V. Turner led a rally at Katemcy which netted 414 scores and John Morgeson, assisted by Capt. A. J. Leifeste, helped gather 29 runs from the Brady Ward Champs to win with a 26 run lead. lt took only one big inning for D. B. Williams, Junior Turner, and Vaughn Pate to chase the Melvin Pups back to the west end of the coun- ty leaving the winnings in the sack for Camp San Saba. At the beginning of school last year we enrolled two of our former players, R. E. and Harlon Blount! who gave us the punch that we had been needing to win championships. During the earlier part of the season the boys on the banks of the San Saba left the uchannel cat alone long enough to win a few scattering games and get in readiness for the finals. They won the Rural Championship by taking the big end of a two-game series. Then came the most hotly contested battle since Napoleon struck out at Waterloo. South Ward of Brady who had previously won the Ward and Junior High School divisions came to Camp San Saba March 19, seeking more crowns. And what a team they had! Led by the brilliant pitching of Byron Brock, the South Warders got off to a 6 to 1 lead and managed to hold it until the first of the seventh inning when the Rural Champs tied the score 6 and 6. J. T. Turner who had pitched good ball from the first of the game, gave the Ward boys nothing while the first of the eighth let the Champs have two runs. As Brock and his fighting Bulldogs could score only one run on their last go-round the hardest fought ball game in the history of McCulloch county was won by Camp San Saba who received the All-round Championship Cup and the distinction of not having lost a game in two years.
