TEXTILES TO PLAY MIDWAY A. C. SATURDAY
TAKE SERIES FROM SLAGLE
WITH TWO STRAIGHT WINS
This coming Saturday at Simmons
Park the local Textile All Stars will
clash with the strong Midway Athletic
Club from Norfolk, Va. The visitors
are supposed to have one of the fast
est clubs in Tidewater Virginia and
have victories over different strong
clubs in Virginia and Carolina.
The Textiles, however, fresh from
two straight victories over the Slagles
I-ake outfit are expected to take the
measure of the visitors. Carroll or
Crowder will hurl for the locals and
Edmondson will catch. The fans can
be assured of a hard, well played
game.
Heat Slagles Again
The Textiles gave Slagles Lake a
sound trouncing last Saturday at Sim
mons Park to take the last game with
the Virginians by an 8 to 5 score.
The series was for two out of three
win the series. Carroll went back on
rnd the Textiles took the first two to
the mound for the locals and won his
second straight victory by allowing
the visitors 13 hits but they were
mostly scattered. The Textiles bump
ed, Taylor for only nine hits but they
were hits when hits meant runs and
accounted for eight markers.
Birdsong was again the outstanding
tielding star of the game. Time and
lime again he dug base hit out of the
dirt and got the runner at first, while
his hitting was one of the bright spots
of the game. Ryals poled one off the
right fied wall with Edmondson on
base in th 8th inning to practically
cinch the game. L Edmondson and
Terrell both got two out of four for
the Textiles. Outland featured in the
outfield with a nice catch of Joyner’s
long fly in the first. Whitehead and
Benton starred fro Slagles. Bill Alli
good, in center, made seven put-outs.
! Birdsong Plenty Good
This Birdsong boy who plays third
base for the Textiles should go up
higher. Put him under a good coach,
give him a chance and the boy will
make good. He has a rifle arm, good
baseball sense and can hit. What’s
to keep him back?
And Next Wednesday
| Don’t forget the Kiwanis-American
[Legion baseball game next Wednes
day. Here’s what Captain Ned Man
ning has to say in regard to the game:
“We are going to give them a fit, our
pitcher, J. Saunders is in the best con
dition of his career, and I am confi
dent he will come thru. We have ev
erything, so why not?”

MOTORS CAN'T
READ ADVERTISING...
All your motor can do is to take the gasoline you give it and make the best of

up to your motor ... All we hope to do with this advertising is to give your
motor a chance to try SHELL gasoline ... If your motor likes
SHELL gasoline, that settles it. If it doesn’t — our advertising
won’t make the slightest difference . . . We could fill this page

that shell gasoline is better. But arguments
won’t pull a car up a hill in high ... So we’d
like to put it up to your motor — and we’ll
stand or fall on the outcome of the test ... If this test didn’t always have a
satisfactory outcome, there wouldn’t be so many filling stations changing to the

with The Herald sports writer has the
following to say: Ha-ha-ha! My
ide aabout this game with the old
soldiers is this; when Captain Man
ning and his run-down bunch of ex
dog robbers get in this ball game j
they will have to call out the National
Guard to put us out.”
LEAGUE
CHATTER
A lot of talk about our All-Star
pick in The Herald, why did we put
the men at different positions, etc.
Well, the main reason was to start
an argument about the best players.
In other words there are about twenty
or thirty baseball players in town that
there is little difference in. And we
dit not figure in the Junior Bascoes.
Baseball ain’t nothing but the blues.
That’s what the Textiles will prob
hly think after that game with Lit
tleton Blues.
A suoncl of foot meeting leather.
Hurrying feet digging in hard turf,
crisply barked signals, a crash of well
conditioned bodies on off tackle plays,
ihe shrill whistle of the referee and
we don’t have to tell you what its
all about, you will soon know. Its
the old game of football. Whoopee.
And that brings to mind that the
local high shool yellowjackets should
have a very good team this fall, every
man back but Johnson and Wertz, and
a new coach. Captain Starkes is all
smiles. He should be with all these
prospects.
And have you heard that one about
the High School player who pegged
an Irish potato in centerfield with
two men on bases and then calmly
tagged both runners as they came in
home.? Well, Ned Manning told us.
Believe it or not.
Mr. and Mrs. John Hewitt, aged 102
and 101 of Farnborough, Eng., and
said to be the oldest married couple
living, celebrated their birthdays on
successive days.
Ask Your Soldier Boy How “Coot
ies” Got Such Hold
He’ll tell you that the battle fronts
of Europe were swarming with rats,
which carried the dangerous vermin
and caused our men misery. Don’t
let rats bring disease into your home.
When you see the first one, get RAH
SNAP. That will finish them quick.
