AND KNOX COUNTY COMBINED SEPT. TEN PAGES EDINA EDINA, KNOX COUNTY, MISSOURI, Mayor Gillaspy OK's City Aid To Ball Park Improvement Program The city of Edina, under the direction of Mayor O. M. Gillaspy, is in the process of conducting an improvement program concerning the lay-out of the city softball park. Work on the project will start Monday morning, Sept.
and the mayor has asked for volunteer workers, interested seeing a well improved ball park in Edina, to be present to help with the various jobs which are on tab for that day. The improvement to be made includes tearing out the old backstop now behind home plate. The city will furnish a pole pulling rig and a post hole digger to complete the job. The backstop will moved closer to the plate, just behind' the light poles back of the plate, and the wire backstop will be extended down the first and third base lines each way 110 feet to the first and third base light poles. A fence, consisting of one board placed thirty inches high, will be extended clear around the outskirts of the playing area in the outfield, completely closing off the playing area to parked cars, alleviating a problem in existence through this last season.
The fence will angle from the backstop on both the first and third base lines to the light poles in left and right field, extending twenty feet deeper in right field, and fifty feet deeper in left field. The distance from home plate to the right field fence will be 220 feet, feet to the fence in center field, and 250 feet to the fence in left field. By bull dozing, parking space will be made available along the right and left field foul lines, as Second Street, going south from Morgan Street on top of the hill, will be made a through street right past the ball park club house, over a bridge to be constructed, joining the road, running east and west south of the park. The old bleachers will be torn out, and plans are to construct new bleachers back of the plate and extending along the line to first and third bases.

The Gibbons nine, a slight favorite before game time, featuring the offerings of Fireball Dick Rampy on the mound, did leadb by two runs up to the last of the fourth over the Junior Woodard managed, Stars, with Charley Gossman on the hill, who definitely hurled his best game of the year. The first inning went scoreless both teams went down one, two, three, with Rampy setting down the first three men to face him via the strike out route. Joe Gibbons' Stars cut loose in the top of the second, when left fielder Bob Hudnut, in the clean up position, rapped out a single and went to second on an error, collecting the game's first hit. Hudnut then took third, on a wild pitch, and Rampy walked, later stealing second, putting two men in scoring position on second and third base, and Gossman found himself in trouble. Catcher Bill See got on the initial sack through first baseman Jack Beck's error, allowing Hudnut to score, with Rampy going to third.
See was called out on the next pitch for leaving first base too early in an attempt to steal second. Ray Eyler, the next man up for the Gibbons men, got to first on Shortstop Bill Delaney's error, with Rampy scoring the second run from third. Eyler was tagged out on a good throw from Woodard, catcher, to J. C. out-number Jones to two, Jim and Sharp the at bases second were for clear.
Jerry Klote appeared to start another scoring splurge, as he tapped Gossman for hit number two, but died on base as Dick Hunolt popped to Sharp at second to retire the side. The tables were turned in the bottom of fourth, as Junior Woodard's swatters got to Rampy for two hits, a double and a homer, and six runs. Rampy In Trouble. Rampy got off to a bad start, having trouble with the controls, as right fielder Shorty Moore, the first man to face him, was issued a free pass to first base. Red Sharp came close to hitting into a double play, but made it to first on a fielder's choice, as Moore was forced at second for the first out.
Rampy again had trouble finding the plate. Jack Beck was hit, sending him to first and Sharp to second. A wild pitch moved the base runners up another notch, and then another into the backstop pitch allowed Sharp to score the Woodard team's first run with Beck going to third. Beck then stole home for another tally, followed by Max Kite behit by a pitched ball. Rampy settled down on the next batter, and fanned J.
C. Jones, but Bill Delaney slammed out a two-bagger, driving in Kite with the third score, as the lead changed hands, 3 to 2 over the Gibbons All-Stars. But the cincher was yet to come; with Delaney resting on second, Vern Bradley stepped up to the plate, pinch-hitting for Lloyd Karhoff, and blasted Rampy's third pitch deep into right centerfield, to the light pole, for a home run, changing the score board again, as read 5 to 2. Gossman, the next man up, accepted a free pass, and later moved to third base, scoring the innaround, sixth run for the Woodard AllStars. Shorty Moore retired the side on a grounder, pitcher, to first, and Rampy's nightmare was over.
Gossman Falters, The game tightened up until top of the sixth inning, when Gibbons men took advantage of Charley Gossman's control failure for two runs to get back in the ball game. The Woodard nine started well enough, as Dick Kimble was put on an easy ground ball, Gossman Beck. Gossman then started showing signs of weakening, as he walked Bob Hudnut and Dick Rampy in succession, with two wild pitches, ing this period, allowing Hudnut, third base. Hudnut then scored Rampy moved to third. The Woodard pitcher was still unable to the plate, as Bill See was hit a pitched ball, which started action in the Woodard All-Star bull pen, Ken Hagerla and Bill Ausmus started warming up.
Gossman got the next man, Eyler, on a ground ball for the ond out, but Eyler got an RBI, Rampy came in from third, with scoreboard changing to 6 to 4, still favor of the Woodard All-Stars. Strategic Move By Woodard. The next two Gibbons batters, Jerry Klote and Dick Hunolt, got on via the free route, with Klote hit by a pitched ball and Hunolt walking. Carl Kriegshauser with was the man up with two outa, Ning run in the form of Hunolt, resting on first base, and the excited steeled for the tense moments followed. Gossman worked Kriegshauser to a 1 and 1 count, and ager, Junior Woodard stopped: game, calling Hagerla from the pen to take the mound.
