It was their fifth win against no defeats. Neither team was strong at the plate, but the Ponies had the edge, getting " hits against the Dcamons -1 ihe Ponies tuts consisted of two home runs, 1 double and 2 singles. The home runs were off the bat of l.ee llu- son, a twe run smasn wnicn came in the second frame and his first oi the season, and an other by Pat Kilkenny in the third frame, a solo blast and his second of the season. Lee Huson went 2 for 2 for the victors. J.iy Larue went 2 for 2 for the losers, one being a home run. Coach Tom Hughes credit -d the victory to some stubborn, staunch I lay bv the Ponies.

Sell unused items around your place with a Gazette-Times classified pA. dam panorama in springtime ; The Ceiil store and post office. , owned and operated by Mr. and j Mrs. Met in Thomas, brings nostalgic memories of the "good 'old davs." The cracker barrel is gone, out there is every evidence o! the ston which present old sters used to Wsit, wherever i they might have been, in days !il 'childhood to buy a penny stick of ct.ndy. j But whet's this? In front of i the store Is a genuine parking i meter which is an Ironic incon I gruity to the pastoral scene. Mrs. Thomas reports that no tickets have Ih-cii given over I time paikers to the present. In ! fact very few who come to the store ;ark In front of the meter, i They have been so conditioned troin their experiences in cities that 'hey avoid the "iron ban dit" even 111 uigll they Unow it a gag. The pinking meter was pre sented to the Thomases by friends from Kenton, Wn who were anion); guests at u party given at the home of Mr- and Mrs Du' Krebs sometime ago Dick said a bit ruefully that thev didn't make any provision for'"M-ter Maids" to attend to the meter. The meter has been the source ol lots ol fun, Jokes and laugh ter, but il it ever gets much use, it will be as a tie post for horses. Chalices are that the rider won't bother to put a nickel in. Mrs. Thomas enjoys catering to the old fashioned flavor of the store ami has pictures and souvenirs ii.side that go back to the days when history was in the making Cecil once was a watering stop on the Oregon Trail, and the impressive Krebs ranch, which nominates the community of Cecil, Is bisected by the Trail. The stori is a familiar and well-known sight to Morrow county folks who drive by on the highway, but probably there are many who have never taken the time to stop there. It would be well worth anyone's time to stop by. This summer when you ar:1 heading out or coming home, you'll find cool refreshment In the ("ceil store and a pleasant moment enjoying the atmos phere of tin; store.
