Episcopalians Champs In City Softball Loop Win Ovfir Favored Methos In Curtain Contest Wednesday Champs Won More Games in i Finals Than They'Did During Se Wednesday afternoon the unpre dictable Episcopalians, of whom the scoffers said it couldn't be done, un leashed another surprise from their potent bai; of tricks to batter down the City Softball circuit champion ship with an 8-2 triumph over the once-proud Methoterians. Rev. Har dy allotted the Methos but seven binglea for his second consecutive finals victory, while literally lead ing his Episcopalian flock from the softball wilderness. The -Episcopalians forged ahead in the second stanza when Jack B. Saunders tripled and tajlied on a variation of the squeeze play. How ever, the Methoterians came back 1 and assumed the advantage tn this vitally important game of a bet two out-of-three series "Little Roger" Critcher opened the fourth with a single and counted ahead of Sam Edward's mighty four-base clout. Then Hardy settled down and the Episcopalians stepped out. Hardy commenced the four-run fifth with a single, stole second, advanced on Wynne's single, but was nipped on S. Critcher's fielder's choice. Reg Simpson drew a walk and an error and hits by Fowden and "Dime-a Dance" Dawse Cooke completed the rout. Bitterly fought throughout, the playoffs victory wa&ia fitting testi monial to the hustling Episcopalians who only won two games during the regular season. Under Reg Simpson's leadership, the Episcopalians first applied the screws to the heavily fa vored Christians, winning two out of three, and then mangled the Methos by the same margin. Sam Edwards led the losers at the plate with two safeties for three at tempts, including his hefty two-run homer in the fourth Blasting two hits for a perfect af ternoon, John Hardy took like hon ors for the winners and champions of the City Softball Circuit.

Activities In 4-H Clubs Last Mouth There were no meetings held in 4-H club work during August. The outstanding event was the 4-H camp at White Lake. The smallest number, 19 boys and 13 girls, ever was in at tendance. The fee for the week was $3.50. This year for the first time in four years the county camped with another county. Mr. J. P. Woodard and eight boys and girls from his county .Hyde, joined us. In spite of unfavorable weather we had a very successful camp program. The camp ers were divided into four groups, headed by older boys and girls who had attended recreational school in May. These older 4-H boys and girls were allowed to go to camp without paying the fee but were requested to bring food like the other boys and girls. A score card had been worked out by the agents and each group was given points as they participated in games, swimming, classes, best eve ning program, best playlet, etc. This method of discipline in camp is the most satisfactory. The group win ning out during the week received ice cream free at the store. The girls who won out as outstanding camp ers were Joyce Quinn, of Williams ton, for the older girls, and Avery Matthews .from Hbbersonville, for the younger girls. Friday night was the big night of the week. A banquet was planned and boys and girls decorated the dining hall with native Spanish moss and colored balloons. This was the one and only meal that tables were set. The place cards and nut cups were combined, using green paper for the base, cut as a four-leaf clov er, and white paper swans mounted on the green to make the cup. Mer ritt Bridgeman, of Hyde County, old er 4-H boy and acting leader, was toastmaster for the occasion. The banquet, started two years ago, has become the big event Which the boys and girls look forward t<? The chaperones this year were Mr. J. P. Woodard, Mr. John I. Eagles, Miss Eva I. Peele, Miss Evelyn Ev ett, Miss Phyliss Perritt, Hay Good mon, Jr., and Miss Lora E. Sleeper. Mr. W. E. Waller, local camp direc tor, has becojne indispensable to an excellent camp program. During the week, Mr. Barker, extension foiesliy specialist from the State extension office, conducted a class in tree iden tification. Mr. Weaver, extension en Why Freeze THIS WINTER?

Spots Are Uncovered Along with the Strong Ones bv Statistician Complete figures covering the en tire personnel of the City Softball Circuit throughout the 1940 season released early today by league sta tistician, "Albert Einstein" Peel, re veal several "awful truth." First and foremost is the fact that Ernest "Big Boy" Mears, the Methoterian mauler, is no longer the loop's un qualified leading hitter. Neil "Joe DiMaggio" Jones, by virtue of three hits for five attempts now heads the league. However. Mears. with 14 for 25 for a .560 aver age is a cloee second and the real pacesetter. Perhaps it's true, those figures will be of little importance from the standpoint of any real or lasting lvalue but they should prove inval uable from another standpoint. With cold and unyielding figures before them local Softball players will no longer be able to boast of fat bat ting averages that are unsubstan Pfiated by the facts Examples: One day not so long ago, "Grubworm" Cane and "Dinie a-Danee" Dause Cooke were loud ly proclaiming their prowess at the plute. "Grub" Iuul just finished ridi culing Dawse's stance and average when he claimed that he was hit ting .351. Cooke immediately claim ed a figure just under .400, when in truth netiher was correct.
