Sports Hoke County joins Babe Ruth League The Babe Ruth Baseball Association has come to Hoke County. The move is considered a major one for young athletes who wish to participate in competition with their peers. Supporters believe the league will open the door to post season play for county baseballers. There are two leagues in the Babe Ruth Association and both will field teams in Hoke County. The Babe Ruth League is open for players 13-15 years old whose 16th birthday falls on or after August 1,1984, or whose 13th bir thday falls on or before August 1,1984; and the Bambino League, for persons aged 10-12 whose 13th birthday comes on or after August 1 or whose 10th birthday comes on or before August 1. These new leagues will allow Hoke athletes to continue into post-season play. According to a release from the association, at the end of regular season play, an all-star team will be picked from each league to represent Hoke County in a district tournament. The Babe Ruth District Tourna ment will be held in Wilmington around July 10. The Bambino District Tourna ment sites and times have not been arranged yet. If a team wins at the district level, they will advance to the State Tournament with a chance to ad vance to the Babe Ruth World Series. The Hoke County Recreation Department has set a goal of eight Bambino League teams and four Babe Ruth league teams. There is a registration fee of $3 for all persons wanting to play for the association ($2 for team in surance and $1 for an official I.D. card). Both are required by the association. May 7th is the last day to register so players should not delay. Lady Bucks split pair The Hoke County High School varsity softball team split two games before the Easter break. On April 17, the Lady Bucks beat opponents Lumberton by a score of 9-7. Coach Cheryl Farmer said,"We decided after losing to them 4-3 on our first meeting, we would pay them back." De De McLean was hitting 4 for 5 on the afternoon and had one run batted in. Sharon McNeill and Miranda Cunningham each hit 3 for 4 with each having an RBI. Thomasina Walker hit in the winning run with no outs and run ners on first and second. Andrea Jones was the winning pitcher. "It took a lot of hard coaching, team work, and keeping a positive mental attitude," Farmer said ad ding, "I have tried to instill this thought in my athletes...If you believe in yourself, anything is possible." Traveling to Terry Sanford High School on the 20th proved to be not as inspiring as it may have been. The varsity softball team lost that one in a match that ended 6-2 in favor of Terry Sanford High. "The team started out with a good showing but by the bottom of the fifth inning, it was obvious who intended on increasing the numbers in the winner's column," Farmer said. Hoke's outstanding players in that game included Vickie Cunn ingham who was 2 for 3 with a single and a triple. Karen Troublefield and Sharon McNeill also went 2 for 3 on the day. Farmer blames part of the team's loss on the fact that the game was played on the day before Easter break saying, "When school re-opens, it will be back to the drawing board."

Beadle, or whoever triumphs over the 16-car field of whos-who Pro Funny Car competitors, will receive a check for S20.000 as a share of the whopping $450,000 posted awards that gives the Pro Am billing as the richest drag race ever held in the Carolinas.
