Big Springs Game Forfeited To Roswell Team
Longhorn League president Peck Cunningham faced a decision after Roswell led Big Spring 9 to 4 with two outs and a man on second when plate umpire George Thomas halted the suspended doubleheader at Roswell due to alleged delay tactics. The continuation or forfeiture, tied to a 11:55 p m limit, rests on whether the game resumes from suspension or is forfeited to Roswell. Roswell had already won the first game 16 to 15 in 10 innings after Joe Bavman homered twice and tied the score in the seventh.
