News
The unthinkable ia starting to happen even though it’s been a
lurking thought in the minds of many folks. The unthinkable
is - what else - but the hated bullet train rising again from the
ashes of a failed Texas Legislature that didn't have the will to
correct their own mistakes. After all the work, sweat and
tears provided by the ordinary folks who battled the bullet
train, the international interests won again and are still
relentless in their search for public money to feed the wild,
unproven venture. The latest is an announcement by the
Texas High Speed Rail Authority (the Legislature's creation
that proved unmanageable) would start lobbying in
Washington to get federal money for the project. A wire
story out of Austin actually quoted the authority as wanting
“Texas to get its fair share” of federal money the Clinton ad-
ministration is promising to throw around for high speed rail
projects. (Fortunately, a Clinton promise is not all that it's
cooked up to be.) The story actually quoted Larry Salci, a
Texas TGV official as saying “The reality is we are trying to
get this project to the stage where we can attract investors.
The federal government can help defray the costs to get to
that stage." Amazing, the kid-glove treatment the project is
getting from an agency that is supposed to oversee it
(another mistake by the Legislature). The corporation is sup-
posed to have financial commitments of $170 million by
December 31 this year and the wording of those quotes
makes an observer suspect a second “one more year” waiver
is forthcoming from the politicos who sit on the Authority
board. The bag-holding citizens of Texas can only watch and
hope for a broken Clinton promise, sensible action in the U.S.
House of Representatives, and the miserable chance that
Texas politicians will stand up for the people, for once. It
would be nice if a compromise would be worked out - like
giving the bullet train and the Texas High Speed Rail
Authority away as a part of a foreign aid package - Mongolia
could use it as much as Texas.... also Somalia and Pakistan.

In the United States, the Texas High Speed Rail Authority
could function well in Idaho, Arkansas, North Dakota and
Massachusetts. Just so no Texas money was used. All in all, it
sounds as if some tearful begging will take place in Austin
prior to December 31. You can almost hear the wail!

Firemen
Out Of
Tourney;
Play In
Flatonia
Sunday
The New Ulm Firemen Baseball
Team won one and lost two in the
1993 NBC State Tournament at
Seguin during the weekend.
New Ulm eliminated the McGre-
gor Merchants KM) on Saturday
after suffering a tough 8-2 loss to the
Seguin White Sox Friday night.
The Firemen bowed out of the
Tournament Sunday after a 11-4 loss
to the Katy Texans.
New Ulm made a strong run at the
Seguin White Sox in Friday's feature
game after spotting the Sox 5 runs in
the first inning, all unearned.
Kevin Bosse was the victim
allowing only 1 hit during the inning
but walking 1 and hitting 1. The New
Ulm defense committed two errors
during the inning.
From then on, Bosse shackled the
Sox, giving up a 2-run homer and a
tainted run in the 6th as the only
marks against him.
In the meantime, the Firemen
were scoring a pair off ex-pro
Charlie Corbell. In the 4th, Mike
Schwager walked, moved up on a
passed ball and scored on Mike
Dungen’s single. In the 6th, Blake
Richter singled, moved up on a walk
to Adam Watson and scored on
successive fielders choices by Mark
Young and Mike Schwger.
The McGregor game was all New
Ulm as the Firemen scored early (a
leadoff homer by Raul Garcia-
Rameau) and often (5 in the 2nd
and 3 more in the next inning)
behing the shutout pitching of
Stephen Christoph.
Christoph threw a one-hitter,
struck out three and allowed only
one ball hit to the outfield and also
kept intact his summer record of
having finished every game he
started for New Ulm this season.
On offense for New Ulm Barry
Graves and Mike Schwger each
singled twice while Brian Gore
tripled and singled.
New Ulm had a 4-0 lead in the Katy
game until the top of the 8th when
the roof caved in on Steve Vlasek. An
infield error botched what should
have been a 1-2-3 inning and the
Texans banged out 5 straight hits to
grab the lead. Brian Gore and
Stephen Christoph pitched in relief,
but the Firemen offense couldn’t
make up the ground.
Again, the Firemen had started
with a bang - a leadoff homer by
Raul Garcia-Rameau. With one out
after the homer, Jeff Dungen singled
and Barry Graves reached on an
error. Brian Johnson was hit by a
pitch and a passed ball and a balk
scored two.
New Ulm scored in the third when
Dungen and Graves singled and
Dungen scored on an infield error.
The loss eliminated the Firemen
from State Competition. They have
one game left in the season - at
Flatonia Sunday returning an
earlier game the Wildcats played in
New Ulm. Game time is 2:00 p.m.

were from Bellville, Columbus,
Burleson County, La Grange,

complimentary to the park and the
community,” said Tournament
