In a hot gruelling battle, the Vanceboro Men’s
Softball Tournament ended Sunday afternoon in
much despair for Ron’s Body Shop. Ron’s team kept
their “heads up’’ ball handling in top condition. They
went into the finals undefeated in tournament play
against the Vanceboro Senators, the league’s season
1st place champ.
The tournament went very well starting at 9
o’clock Saturday morning at Farm Life Elementary
Park and then transferred, due to the wet field, to
Brinson School in James City for the Sunday battle.
A battle it was because the Senators had won their
first game in the tournament against V&J and were
ready to make a clean sweep but Ron’s Body Shop
sent them to the loser’s bracket to play V&J Billiards
in semi-finals. V&J had coasted to an easy victory in
their first game against Caton. It was the Senators
who sent V&J to the loss’s bracket early in the
tournament. V&J survived the game against C&E
Logging to put them in play with Pugh Dist. C&E
had a forfeit from Kite’s and a win over Pugh
Distributors. This loss had sent Pugh to the loser’s
bracket. In the next contest Ron’s Body Shop sent
C&E to the loser’s bracket and the Senators met
Garris #1 and sent them to the loser’s bracket. Garris
#1 had cooled M&B Logging in their first game.
M&B faced Kite’s in the loser’s bracket and advanced

field you have helped him train in. I knew Johnnie
would be successful because he became very
dependable and worked hard to do a job well.”
Question of the Week: How is your tobaceo selling?
Leroy Shackelford, Ernul, N. C.
“Bad, I don’t have any price support and with the red
stamp the buyers are knocking it 20% lower than their
.normal."
Colie Miller, Sr., Rt. 2, Vanceboro
“Cheap, it is going mighty cheap but I can say what we
have sold did very good. We got a little over $2 for some the
last sale. I’d say after all the charges are taken out the
average is below $1.46 per pound. It cost us at least $600 to
sell our last barn.”
Alton Whitford, Ernul, N. C.
“I have done very well with what I have sold. The
warehouse has bought some but most of the tobacco is going
to Co-op. I’m satisfied with my sales so far.”
