Our boys have met and defeated three out of four op ponents. One of the three victor ies was a win over the Swannanoa club. The loss was to what is ac knowledged as the class of the league, the Post Engineers, boast ing Kenny Rudeen as pitcher, and several Moore General baseball players in their lineup. Manager Rudisill says that he believes the other club can be taken however. The next meeting between the teams should be an interesting one. It is rumored that the Lion’s Club is going to sponsor uniforms for the local softball club. That would be mighty nice, and quite in keeping with the Lion’s Club record of community co-operation. Old Buck, “Bobo,” Newsom seems to be throwing a nice come back this year. In 1930 when he and Buck Greene were both pitch ing for the Macon Peaches, Greene had to save quite a few games for him and was consid ered the better pitcher. Seeing the name of Mel Ott omitted from the N. Y. Giant’s lineup so much lately causes a twinge of sadness. He has played a lot of ball for the Giants since he broke into organized baseball with them in 1926 at the age of either 16 or 17. It’s so now that every time he steps to the plate he creates a new record of some kind.

At this moment Mr. Weaver is at Wash- fjgjfc ington tending his duties in the ~ 1' House o f Representatives. His goal, Ilk as always, is service to his country and to the people of the Twelfth Congressional District. It would ianjr* * be a most serious misfortune to this District to sacrifice, for the promises of a politically ambitious opponent, all that he represents in seniority, diligence, application to duty and proven merit.
