Other fires which the firemen were called: C&S Body Shop, 905 East Broadway; J.A. Runge Plant, 500 “A” street, 306 West Russell, and Franks Corner.

SHS Nine Plays Stroud

Wednesday To Open Season

With potentially strong hitting, but with the pitching remaining a question mark, the Seminole high school Chieftains lift the lid on their 1971 baseball season against Stroud Tigers here Wednesday in a doubleheader. Game time for the first contest is 1:00 p.m. at Oiler Park. Admission is free, and the general public is invited to attend.

Veteran Coach J.B. Flatt is optimistic this season about his hitting strength, a strength so strong that it gained the Chiefs a 6-4 record last season and a District baseball championship. Bill Hayes, returns for Seminole with a hitting average of .400; Mike Russell, .366; Randy Strayhorn, .200; and Donny Trammell, .200.
