YELLOW JAX
WIN 3RD IN
CONFERENCE
Beat Old Rivals, Eliza
beth City In Game
Here Friday
The old gridiron rivals of the
Northeastern Conference got to-1
gether in a fast baseball game out,
at Simmons Park last Friday and the
Yellow Jax beat the Y'ellow Jackets1
4 to 1. It was the fastest ball game
that the Jax have played this sea
son. About 150 spectators saw the
game. Elizabeth City beat the lo
cals in the football season, but the
locals came back strong and came
near whitewashing: them in baseball.
Colon Womble, ace right hander
for the local Jax, pitched a good
game. lie only allowed the opponents
three hits in nine innings. He walk
ed two men and struck out eight.
Womble got fairly good backing as
the Jax made only two errors. This
was the Yellow Jax third straight
Conference win and Womble’s sec
ond. Starke won the other game.
Cox, pitcher for the Elizabeth City
nine, allowed the Jax five hits in 8
innings at bat. He was right handed
and had perfect control on his slow
kail which seemed to have baffled the
l°<als hitting division. He didn’t pre
sent much along the line of curves
and frequently a Jacket connected up
for a long blow. Cox walked 2 bat
ters.
No Yellow Jacket was able to clout
more than one safe blow and those
that reached Cox for the five hits
were: J. Womble, Dickens, Starke,,
Harrison and Sullivan. Matthews)
made an error at second and Starkes j
made one in centerfield. The second
sacker from Elizabeth City made 2
errors and one of them gave the lo
cals a chance to score and they did.
Womble pitched shut-out ball until
the ninth inning with two men out
and Cooper, Elizabeth City catcher,1
crane up and planted one out in right
field to Pridgen. Pridgen made an
error and opponents scored. The
Yellow Jax outfield has made only
After College . . . What?
AFTER you provide your son with a college education you've got to
expect that a few years must pass before he is established in a
profession .... or business .... from which he can support himself
If you establish a Savings Account for him he will always be safe from
the undermining effects of dependence and uncertainty. It takes just a
few dollars each month to invest in this valuable security.

of them came in this game.

If the locals beat Tarboro they will

Defeat World Champs
The Hollywood Girls so called fe
male champions of the world were en
tertained at Simmons Park last Sat
urday and over at Slagels Lake last
Sunday by the All-Stars. The game
ended over here with the final score
18-19 in favor of the home team,
whale the game played at Slagle
I ake was a rout in favor of the All
Stars, the final score being 29-1. The
outstanding plyaers for the girls were
Miss Dot Warren, who cavorted in
centerfield in great style and Miss
Almedia Bard who played shortstop.
Jackets on Top
The Roanoke Rapids High School I
Yellow Jackets are on top in the
Northeastern Conference Baseball
championship race acording to fig
ures released last week. The Jack
ets have not lost a game yet. But
several teams are on their trail with
but one defeat. Tarboro, New Bern
and Hertford have lost one contest
out of five starts.
League Chatter <
The Hollywood All Stars were a
bunch of bunk in our humble esti
mation. Of course, the girls did as
good as they could, but that was not
enough. Well, it’s all over now. Lets
forget and forgive.
At least four local boys liked the
brand of baseball the Hollywood girls
played. Wilmer Outland, Prince, 1
Kimrey and Knowles traveled all the
way to Henderson to see them play
that city's entry in the Piedmont
League, last Monday. For the infor- <
mation of the above boys the Holly
wood girls are slated to play in
Charlotte Saturday and in Asheville
the following Monday. It would be a
nice trip.
It is foolish to think that any wo
man can play baseball like a man can,
yet the Hollywood girls had a cen
terfielder and short stop that could
go and get them, the two ladies,
namely Misses Almedia Bard and Dot
W arren played good baseball. #
Show me any better catcher in the
Northeastern Conference than Fleet
wood Sullivan and—well I will give
you a cigar. Sullivan has improved
a hundred per cent over his work last
season and if he keeps on working
will go higher in baseball.
The Jackets have a good baseball
team this year and should walk away
with the Conference and also the
Class B championship IF and that is
a big If—they don’t get it in the
neck.
There were several interesting
bouts on the Boy Scout boxing card
held in the High School Gymnasium
last Wednesday night. The bouts
were between Roanoke Rapids Troop
No. 2 and Rosemary Troop 1. Ev
ery one of the fights were fast and
furious.
There is only one way to decide cn
who will make the All-S’.ar team af
ter the league season is over, and
that is have the records of each man
kept ,his fielding and batting and
then when the League season is over
chck up on each man, the one with
the highest batting and fielding re
cord gets his position. That is the
only fair way to decide it.
Henderson will bring plenty of
fireworks along with them this Sat
urday and the All-Stars will have
their hands full in keeping the fire
out. Anyway it should be a good
game.
One Rosemary fan who never tires
of baseball games and that is Martin
Nixon. Martin has the distinction cf
being the only man to make Kurt
Gore of Patterson Mill fame stay
hushed up during a baseball game.
Jax Enter State
Elimination Contest
The Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jack
ets entered the State baseball elimi
nation contest for the State class B
baseball title, last Monday. They
played west Edgecombe Wednesday.
Wes tEdgecombe went as far as the
semi-finals last year. Seaboard and
Hertford are also in this district and
the winner between these two will
play the winner of the game here last
Friday. If Roanoke Rapids wins six
games she will have the State title.
