Leading Twirlers In Softball Loop In the league's corps of pitchers, only one, "Din" Bufflap, the roly poly Cardinal chunker, has not tasted the bitter sting of defeat The talkative twirler still holds to his first and only win, against no de feats. However, he did risk his per fect record in a three-inning turn in a game last week and it is admitted that he will pitch again ere the sea son is over. Oswald Stalls, the other "ace" of the league-leading Cardinals mound staff, and John Hardy, the hard ?? m working co-captain of the Martins, are both tied for second place, with two wins and one loss each. Jack Manning, Dodger captain, is even Stephen, with one on each side of the ! ledger, and rounds out the hurlers wtih an average of .500 or better. The Braves' "workhorse". Ham Price, has been the victim of rather loose support at times and this, plus the batters' likings for his pitching, results in?his record?of one win against a pair of defeats. Sam Zemon and Fred Summerlin, both need a win to bring them up to the half-way mark. The figures below are for games through Wednesday, July 22: W la Pet.

The accent still seems to be on hit ting rather than pitching in the lo cal softball league, as the official re lease for the week ending last Friday reveals that some of the players are mauling the sphere at a terrific pace. The figures below include all games played through last Wednes day, but only players who had been to bat as many as eight times were included in the release. There are possibly some players with averages as high, or higher, than those shown, but they have not been to bat quite enough to be included with there leaders. Julian Harrell, the ancient play anywhere man of the Braves, pulled out of a tie for the lead a week ago to take undisputed lead as he hit safely three times out of four times to run his average to the phenome nal figure of .636. Incidentally Jul ian is the only Brave making the se lect circle this week. There is a two way tie for second place, with Dil lon Cobb and Roger Critcher each sporting a .600 mark. Willie Lassi ter and Dan Sharpe both are batting .500 to tie for fourth. Sixth and tenth places are both "cinched" by John Hardy and Harcom Grimes re spectively, co-captains of the Mar tins. Two Dodgers, Eagles and Cher ry, and Cardinal Arthur Gurganus, are all tied for seventh spot, each having four hits out of ten trips to the plate Ab B H Pet Harrell, Braves 11 7 7 .836 Cobb, Martins 10 3 ? .600 Critcher, Cards 10 5 e .600 Lassiter, Dodgers 8 2 4 .500 Sharpe, Cards 12 7 ? .500 Hardy, Martins 12 4 5 .417 Cherry, Dodgers 10 1 4 .400 Eagles, Dodgers 10 1 4 .400 Gurganus, Cards 10 2 4 .400 Grimes, Martins 13 4 5 .385 Latest Addition* To Tko Enterprise Mailing Lin Listed among the recent addition! to the Enterprise mailing list are the following: Mrs. J.

"V*-Gardens Should Produce Year-round War is not a seasonal affair; neith er should the Victory Garden be re stricted to summer vegetables, de clares H. R. Niswonger, Extension horticulturist of N. C. State College. Surveys have indicated that more than 90 per cent of North Carolina's 278,276 farm families planted big ger and better gardens in the spring. "But," says Mr. Niswonger, "a real Victory Garden is one that produces a year-round supply of vegetables and small fruits for the farm fam ily." With this definition of a Victory Garden in mind, the Extension hor ticulturist reminds farm people that "now is the time to begin preparing the soil for a fall garden." He says that a fairly wide variety of vege table crops will grow well in the late summer and fall under average North Carolina conditions. Crops recommended for the fall garden, and suggested planting dates, include: Collards, sow seed now to produce plants to be set in September in most parts of the State; carrots, plant this week and next in the Piedmont and mountains, and August 1-15 in the Eastern part of the State; snap beans, plant in the East and Piedmont about August 1; leaf lettuce, plant in August in the East and mountains and in Septem ber jn?the_Esdmsnl ? Other crops for the fall garden are: Beets for roots and greens, plant August 1 in the Piedmont and moun tains. and August 20 in the East; mustard, kale and tendergreen, plant over the entire State in September and October; winter spinach, Au gust and September in the Pied mont and mountains, and from Au gust to November in Eastern Caro lina; radishes, August in the gnoun tains, and August and September in the East and Piedmont Potatoes The 1942 commercial early crop of Irish potatoes is estimated to be 48. 758,000 bushels, a 15 per cent in crease over the 1931-40 ten-year av erage of 42,293,000 bushels. 0 Conservation ??0 - War production strength of the Nation's farms was increased last year by application of AAA conser vation materials far above those of anj^reviouyreai\ HC WITH SINCLAIR 7??n ATSTATIONS DISPLAYING THIS SIGN ' *)} CLA OIL IS AMMUNITION-USE IT WISELY N.

(Central Press) State College Hints For Farm Homes By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent The following tips are offered on taking care of various kinds of shoes: Smooth leathers, such as calf and i kid?use cream polish, liquid polish, or wax polish that contains no tur pentine. Turpentine dries out leath er. Neutral-colored cream may be used on all shades of leather, but will not cover water stains as will colored cream. Patent leather?changes from hot to cold, or vice versa, cause patent leather to crack. The first time you wear a pair of "patent" shoes, rub them briskly with a cloth to warm them. Then bend your feet to lim ber shoes while they are still warm. Each time you put on patent leather shoes, warm the leather a little with the palm of your hand. Use patent cream or oil polish that contains no turpentine. Use even that sparingly. Wrap shoes in cotton wadding or clean cloth when you are not wear ing them. Gabardine?clean with a brush and a carbon tetrachloride cleaner, which you can buy under' trade names at most stores. If your shoes are wool gabardine, protect them against moths as you do other wool clothing. Elasticized fabric?these stretch able shoe materials are ruined by ordinary fabric cleaners. Get a clean er recommended for this fabric. Read the directions on the bottle and fol low them. Cotton fabric play shoes?if the materials are good quality and col orfast, you can clean them success fully with a brush and mild soap and water. Ask about colorfastness when you buy this type of shoe.
