The Pony League team finished
the season with a 10-2 record,
winning the championship of the
league. Stocum finished a close
second with an 8-4 record.
Jimmy McGaughey was the
winningest pitcher for Alto, hav-
ing a record of 5 and 1. Richard
Holcomb had a 3 and 0 record
and John Paul Dixon 2 and 1.
Leading hitters for Alto
throughout the season were Ray-
ford Smith, John Paut Dixon,
Richard Holcomb, and Robert
Allen Holcomb. Throughout the
season all of the boys ptayed good
ball. Losing only twice, the mar-
gin of defeat was very narrow,
with the defeats coming at the
hands of Grapeland 7-6 and Slo-
cum 2-1.
The regular season being com-
pleted, a tournament is now
being planned for the Pony Lea-
gue. At the present, entries in-
clude Grapeland, Slocum, Pales-
tine Cats, Cushing, Chireno, and
Alto. At least two more teams
are expected. The tournament is
set for August 2, 3, and 4.
The Alto Little League team
was winless this year, but since
most of the boys have one or two
more years to compete, the pros-
pects for next year are much
brighter.
