Braves vs. Martins
The Cardinals tightened their hold
on first place yesterday by turning
back the latent Dodgers, 7-3, in a bat
tle for first place honors. The defeat
shoved the Dodgers back into third
place, as the idle Martins moved in
to second position. In this afternoon's
game the Dodgers can go back into
second place by merely whipping the
Martins This contest is being played
today since it was rained out last
Wednesday.
The Cards spotted the losers three
runs in the first frame of yesterday's
fracas, and then proceeded to shut
them out during the remainder of the
contest, as they out-hit and out
bunted the "bums". A couple of
"youngsters", James Manning and
Paul Bailey featured the play of the
Cards, Manning getting two hits on
three trips and driving in three runs
while the Metropolitan insurance
agent hit twice on two official trips,
sacrificing on his other time at bat.
Oswald Stalls pitched well for the
league leaders, as he did not allow
more than one hit per inning after
the first, when the Dodgers gather
ed half of theirs for three runs The
Cards also pulled a couple of snap
py double plays.
A couple of old reliables, Captain
Jack Manning and Haywood "Pet
tus" Wynne, led the defeated Dodg
ers in their future effort, each get
ting two for three, the latter's dou
ble accounting for two of the three
runs scored by them.

How They Hit In
The Softball Loop
s>
The edge still seems to be in bat
ting instead of pitching in the local
softball loop, as the league produces
a bountiful crop of sluggers. Could
it be the batters' prowess over the
hurlers and fielders, or lenient score
keepers?
Since there were so many players
wUh juicy battnig averages, the
league statistician decided to in
crease the "Big Ten" to fifteen, so
as to include some that would have
been just below the border-line.
Players who have been to bat offi
cially as many as 22 times are includ
ed in this release, which covers all
games played through lust week.
Dillon Cobb continues to drive out
hits offensively and to rob others
of hits defensively, and%leads the
league with a robust mark of .591.
Roger Critcher, the Cardinal lead
off man, who got at least five hits all
last season, is the other player hit
ting over .500, being in second place
with .542. The league-leading Cards
have^Tour others in the select cir
cle, and one of them, Parson Zack
Piephoff, leads the league in runs
scored, with an even dozen.
Each team has at least three rep
resentatives in the top fifteen, with
the Braves and Cardinals having
played one game more than the oth
er two clubs.

Braves Are Shut-out
By Hardy's Martins
Friday Afternoon 6-0
The cellar-dwelling Braves took
it on the chin Friday when they were
the victims of the first shut out of
the season, as John Hardy hurled
six-hit ball to become the first pitch
er to whitewash the opposition. Only
two of the Braves reached second
base and they died there, naturally.
Both teams started the game with
only nine players, but ere the con
test was over one more Martin had
drifted in to give them a full line
up while the Braves struggled it out
with their usual number, nine.
The Martins scored once in the
first as Kimball drew life on a field
er's choice, went to third on an er
ror and scored on "Judge Landis"
Grimes' single, and they added an
other in the third on Deacon Cobb's
double and a single by Tez Green.
With enough runs already scored to
win, the Martins insured victory by
bursting forth with a salvo of base
hits to score four times in the fifth.
Billy Peele opened with a single.
Cobb singled, the Braves kicked in
with a couple of wild throws. Green
singled. Grimes doubled and went
to third on a slow pick-up by the
outfielder and Preacher Hardy sin
gled to create the above-mentioned
four and final tallies.
The Braves muffed their best scor
ing opportunity in the second, when
after Bunting had opened with a
single and went to second tin a wild
pitch, Hurley singled and then the
next three batters popped out. The
losers were the victims of one of the
few double plays seen this season,
as the Martins executed a fast one
in the third. Hardy faced only 25
men in the seven inning contest.
Bernard Hurley was the only
Brave getting more than one hit, as
he hit safely twice and walked in
his three appearances at the plate,
for a perfect day. The Martins were
placed in their attack by Dillon
Cobb, who batted .750 to further
boost his league batting lead. The
Deacon had three for four. Cortez
Green and Co-captain Grimes were
the next biggest guns, each getting
two for four.

Conversion Plan
Saving Much Oil
Voluntary conversions by East
Coast consumers of heavy fuel oil
continue to soar upward, with a to
tal of 21,232,000 barrels being saved
annually by 784 firms reporting as
of July 23, Petroleum Coordinator
Ickes announced July 30.
This is an increase of 1,604,000 bar
rels since June 12, when 520 con
cerns consuming 19,628,000 barrels
per year had converted.

Outlook For Pullet Crop
Bright In North Carolina
? 4?>
C. F. Parrish, Extension poultry
man, says indications arc that 20 to
25 per cent more pullets will go in
to the laying house this year than
last. Farmers will remember, too,
that the number last year was well
above the 1940 figure. Two factors
have been responsible for this: a de
sire on the part of the farmer to
help out in the war effort by sup
plying more eggs and higher prices
for the eggs. Another factor is a
shift from broiler production to egg
production.

THE LETTER-BOX
To the Editor:
r ^ a rf1 t
??i all times is forced upon the world
the question may be raised, where
Is the Negro s place? Or, what part
must hi' play?
His place is in the war 111 the de
fense of his country. He must play
the part of a loyal citizen and a man
Th'' Negro has always given his
blood with the heroes of the great
est country on the globe . . America.
Not one drop of traitorous blood has
ever coursed through his veins.
The Negro has the unique distinc
tion of being the only race that has
lived and thrived beside the white
man. This is due to his patience, his
forbearance, and as one white
preacher told me a few days ago he
cause the Negro refused to fight
back. That same loyalty is still in
our hearts.
In our lodge rooms recently we
passed resolutions, signed petitions
and have written individual letters
asking Mr. Roosevelt, our great
1 resident, to give us an equal place
on land, on the seas, and in the air
with the other soldiers. We are only
asking him to organize his fighting
forces without discrimination or res
crvations.
I know this to be true? for I am
secretary of the Odd Fellows, Ma
sons and Elks, and president of the
Christian Aid and Relief Society I
am connected with four of the great
est orders of this country. They are
per cent for Democracy.
I don't believe any person or per
sons could prove differently. A few
rather short-sighted people through
lircula,*d a ?
that the Negro is pro-German and

STATK COI.I.EliK HAS HI.AN
FOR SIMPLE PEANUT PICKER
Scores of Ntnth Carolina Farmers
have patriotically grown one or two
acres of peanut this year to help sup
ply the vital vegetable oils needed
to win the war. Dr. E. K. Collins,
would be proud to witness but a
German or his saboteurs.
A copy of our petition and some of
our literature can be seen and read
at the Enterprise office.
George T. Hill.
agronomy extension leader of N C.
State College, says some of these
farmers now find themselves with
out means of harvesting the peanuts
lor oil. They are being tempted to
turn their hogs into the peanut
fields.
David S Weaver, State College
agricultural engineer, announces
that the extension service has pre
pared a plan for a small home-made
peanut picker. A blueprint and full
directions for building. this simple
harvesting device will be sent free to
farmers upon request to their coun
ty farm agents.
The home-made peanut picker is
a large bottomless box with a wide
mesh wire over the top and hard
ware cloth as a bottom." Weaver ex
plained. "The peanuts are passed ov
er the top wire by hand, with the
peanuts being pulled off by the w ire.
The small-mesh hardware cloth in
the bottom permits the dirt and sand
to pass through, but retains the nuts.
The equipment may be provided with
legs, or may be put on two carpen
ter's saw horses."
Because of the labor involved in
picking peanuts by this method, the
agricultural engineer says this equip
men will not hi- satisfactory for thi
farmer who grows more than one
or two acres of peanuts.
"Don't hog down your peanuts this
year," urges Dr. Collins. The Unit
ed Nations need all the vegetable oils
they can obtain due to the loss of
imports from the Far East. It is the
patriotic duty of ?'V.M-v North f ir,
olina farmer to follow through with
his peanut production for oil."
