The setback eliminated the Christians from the championship playoffs, the first round of which was held on a best two out of three basis. Lead-off man Pete Fowden drew a walk, stole second, and scored to give the underdogs an initial inn ing tally. Another run counted in the succeeding stanza on a walk, wild pitch and a couple of errors. However, Barnhill and Manning coupled singles in the second to break the ice, for the pre-game favorites, and Sullivan's single coupled with G. Roberson's mighty Ruthian wal lop put the Christians in the van in the third. Nevertheless, the Episcopalians, seizing every advantage, forged to the fore once again in their half of the fifth. S. Critcher singled, was sacrificed down, stole third and tal lied on an outfield fly. Walking, Fowden stole the keysack and count ed on an error. Then the Christians used four hits in the last half of the fifth to attain the same end .and were knot ted by an Episcopalian sixth verse score. Rhodes singled, J. Critcher drew a wulk. Cooke singled, filling the bases and Price passed H. Wynne to force the tying tally. Jack Saunders singled sharply to score the winning runs and the remaining tallies on singles by T. Malone and S. Critcher merely added to the woes of?tlm broken-spirited Christians. Jack Sullivan and Tom Uarnhill led the losers' 13-hit barrage off Ma lone. Meanwhile Price was limiting the Episcopalians to eight bingles but was wild and unsteady in the pinches to drop the decision Episcopalians Ab R H Fowden, sf ?2? ?e?

Miss Madge Bartlett, of Orlando, Fla.. started a Red Cross survey at the damage done to properties in this section by the Roanoke River flood waters. It is possible that aid will be extended most of the sufferers. While the Red Cross is extending indirect aid in some cases, farmers are expected to turn to other agen cies for relief. Feed loans will be made available by the government through Roy Hearne, Washington, and the Farm Security Administra tion and other allied agencies will render every aid possible, it was learned.
