Probable outfielders are Ballinger in left, Carver in center and Jackson in right.Buckles probably will not get the starting assignment this evening but will wait until Sunday to work against the Dexter Junior Legion nine. This move will probably put either Jim Lee or Gene Rudd on the hill for Sikeston with Moll or Chandler catching.Dubfield s ords ii from iCinesionerclubsplayerThe Hart’s Bakery team from Sikeston defeated New Hamburg, 2 to 1. in a Scott-Cape County Softball League game there last night.
