LITTLE LEAGUERS TURN HI
GOOD PERFORMANCE IN TOURNAMENT
Little Leaguers of the Palmer
area wound up their season this
past week with a big weiner roast.
Autographed Little League base
balls were presented to the boys,
one also was sent to Hal Ingalls,
Little Leaguer who was taken
ill during the recent tournament.
The Palmer All-Star Little Lea

their fine sportsmanship and play
during the tournament. “They
played terrific games”, reported
one adult. Opening on Thursday
the local baseball team met the
Fort Richardson players. Ft.
Richardson scored the winning
run in the last of the sixth inning
on a passed ball. Palmer’s pitcher,
Steve Curry hit a home run in
the top of the sixth which had
tied the game 2-2. The final score
was 3-2.
On Friday Palmer met the Eiel
son AFB team and really walked
away with a winning score of 22
2. The game was halted at the
end of the fifth inning. During
this game Artie Brautigan hit a
home run. This game advanced
the local team to the finals in
the consolation bracket on Satur
day when the Palmer boys met
the Mt. View team, losing to
them by one run, 2-1.
The Saturday game was very
close, with Mt. View trying to
creep ahead of Palmer all the
way. Sharp fielding by the local
boys held down their opponents
runs.
Out of four home runs made
during the entire tournament,
Palmer players made three.
Winneis of the tournament was
the Anchorage (Kenai) team,
with Ladd placing second.
