Great interest was manifested in this game, as it was the last game in a series of five played between the two teams, Kannapolis havinR won two and Badin a like number. The line-up was as follows: For Kan napolis—Roberts, shortstop; Phillips, rightfield; Lindsay, second base; Irby, centerfield; Trexler, third base; Flow, leftfield; McDaniels, first base; Wil liams, catcher; Lee, pitcher. For Badin Cooper, third base; Brooks, shortstop; Rees, catcher, Lowder, centerfield; Kearns, first base; Smith, second base; Vann, rightfield; York, leftfield; Ritchie, pitcher. Lee and Ritchie had it nip and tuck Up to the fourth inning, when Lee got himself into a hole by filling the bases, with one man out. Trexler was called ^ the mound, and succeeded in retiring the side without a score. To the amaze- of everyone, Lee was uRain in ^he box in the fifth inning, when he '■etired the side in that most popular order—“one, two, three.” In the following inning, he was again trouble, and Trexler was sent to the •■escue. However, this was of no avail, ^ Badin scored a run.

I’m proud to say that I am a citizen of Badin. Why? Be cause you have beat the City of New York in buying Liberty Bonds—the city with the “Magnates,” and the “Propel- lors” of the United States. I have been asked by many of my friends, “Tell us something about the Navy.” Well, boys, it’s a home for you if you are an obedient son. Get that, fellows—obedient. But if you’re not, it s a reformatory school, multiplied by ten. I noticed quite a few remarks in your last Bulletin about reveille, and I wis to say that in our outfit you don t have anyone to sing you to sleep with beauti ful songs such as Mr. Cummings sang for you. “Pipe down, gobs” is the verse and chorus combined that puts a sailor to sleeo “Up all hammocks, galdarn oT nl report to the Man." Th.l is followed by a racket made by one of those “Windjammers” that would wake the German people to the truth. Sounds awful, doesn’t it? But a fellow can sUnd anything, once he gets toughened to it married life, for instance. 1 wish to say to all the electricians that if you think A. H. Scotty’s “Hey Youse” sounds hard, boys, you sUy out of the Navy. I used to tremble when he said that, but now-Just stick on with Graham, and he’ll make a man of you. I must say that Badin is progressmg very rapidly in many ways, including pretty girls. Of course I’m not MymK we didn’t have ’em there before I left, but you know how it is with a sailor anything for a change. 1 am taking up entirely too much space, 80 I’ll drop an anchor on this conversation. Good bye, and good luck to everybody. I enjoyed my visit with you, and here’s hoping that the war will soon end (but not until the Kaiser is completely licked), and I can come back to stay. Well, as we sailors say. Here goes Nuttin’— Virgil McGehee Elect 2 C. U. S. N. R. F. A Letter of Appreciation Dear Mr. Editor: The people of this town would per haps be interested in how a complicated case of influenza was handled by the Committee of the Citizens of Badin. I believe I had one of the most com plicated cases that has developed in this community, pneumonia following the “flu,” and had it not been for the prompt and efficient attention of the ones in charge I am sure I would not be here to tell the story. In fact the whole story is the remark able manner in which the committee han dled the influenza in Badin. The officials of the Tallassee Power Company spared no expense nor effort to carefully handle the situation, and the highest praise must be given to the untiring efforts and efficient service of Dr. W. T. Rainey, the other physicians, the citizens serving on the Committee, and the teachers of Badin, who readily volunteered, and not only volunteered but gallantly took hold and rendered wonderful service as nurses, especially in the individual case which I started out to report—to all of whom I wish to extend my heartiest thanks. ^ m another part O'* business section. i9««
