ALL STARS DROP ONE AND WIN ONE LAST WEEK
HENDERSON PESTS LOCALS
— LAWRENCEVILLE LOSES
The Industrial League All Stars
lost to the Henderson Gamecocks
last Saturday at Simons Park to the
tune of 6-0. The Pidemont League
outfit earned only one run off of
“Lefty” Carroll, star southpaw from
Roanoke Mills, but errors by his team
mates let the visitors count five more
tallies to make the count six and
nothing.
Carroll, with Outland catching,
pitched a steady and cool game and
during the nine innings of rainy play
plainly had the League outfit wor
ried by his southpaw slants. Jackson
and Marshlander bitched for the vis
itors and only four blows were gath
ered off of their delivery. Knowles
got two, Kimrey one, and Prince one.
The only two that could really be
counted as a base knock was Kim
rey’s line drive over second base and
Knowles hard hit liner to left field,
both blows went for singles. Outside
of this the All-Stars had no chance to
score.
Khadot led the Gamecock’s hitting
with three out of four. The crowd
was just not there, all afternoon the
rain had been coming down, manager
Clyde Liske was all ready to call it
off when word was forwarded from
Henderson that the team was already
on the way so the contest was play
ed. It marked the last exhibition con
test for Henderson before the Pied
mont League opens.

Food on its way into a Frigidaire

be juggled, or tip-tilted, or incon

kitchen table ... the flat expanse
of showy porcelain atop the
Frigidaire makes such a perfect
serving shelf!
It is an ideal place to put piping
hot things that should be cooled
off before they are exposed to
low temperatures ... a splendid
permanent place to keep the few
foods that need oot be refrig
erated.
And nothing—hot or cold,
smooth or scratchy—can in any
way scar or mar the lifelong
lustre of its diamond-hard Porce

A conveniently flat, unencumbered

real advantages of Frigidaire Ad

many others. We invite you to come

ROSEMARY PARK—OLD HOME OF THE BASCOS
Saturday, the All-Stars journieyed
over to Slagle Lake to play Lawrence
ville, Va. This contest finally ended
with the All-Stars the victors by a
3-1 count. Slagle pitched shutout ball
for the Virginians until three suc
cessive squeeze plays in the seventh
inning counted for three runs and
the ball game.*
“Monk” Crowder pitched for the
locals and worked out a fine game
and in addition had a two base hit
to his credit. The crowd was held
down by the threatening skies.

LEAGUE
CHATTER
After June, when the All-Stars
start their regular season the Twin
Cities should be represented by one
of the fastest baseball clubs in the
State in the way of amateur baseball
players. Under the proper coaching
and management they will go a long
ways, without this it will not be
much. The game Saturday with Hen
derson was a long ways from being
the kind of team we should be able to
put out. Team work is essential in
any game.
“Lefty” Carroll should be congratu
lated on the nice game he worked
out Saturday. There is only one fault
with “Lefty” pitching and many fans
will agree with us: Carroll waits too
long between making his deliveries.
We are not knocking you, Lefty, but
lets make it a trifle faster on the
pitches.
And that reminds us: Knowles and
Kimrey should get together on this
infield job. Two men cannot get
one ball at the same time.

Pays High Tribute
To Sargon’s Powers
“Sargon is one of the most power
ful strengthening, reconstructive
tonics and body builders I have known
in the 30 years I have engaged in
Ihe practice of medicine,” declared
Dr. P. K. Drummond, for 12 years
factory physician at the Ford Motor
Co., Detroit, who was retained to ex
pmine this formula. “At this season
of the year, especially, people who
are in a run-down condition, due to
simple anemia, thin, watery Mood,
poor digestion or elimination, should
benefit richly from the Sargon treat
ment.”
Dr. Drummond’s straightforward
endorsement of Sargon is typical of
the unstinted praise it has received
from scores of other outstanding
physicians and explains why Sargon
is having the largest sale of any
tonic medicine of its kind in the
world today.

Jimmy Teague who happens to be
Hendersons manager had a nice word

Charley Speight who was and is
manager of the Rosemary Bascos,
got to worrying over his garden and
we think he wants to fish, so Charley
resigns, all of the baseball team

Charley is elected again, after all we
believe that garden and those fish
will have to wait until next year. We
hope so.

Local Highs Wallop Tarboro
High School 13-4 On Their
Home Lot
The High School baseball club went
down to Tarboro last Friday deter
mined to bring home the bacon and
they did. In excellent weather they
played a similar game.
The Jackets reached the Tarboro
hurlers, Jenkins and Lewis for ten
hits. James Womble and Fleetwood
Sulllivan came out of their hitting
slumps and did very good work at
the plate, Womble got four safeties
out of five trips to bat which con
sisted of two singles, a double and
a triple. Sullivan was next with two
singles and a double. The infield de
partment played errorless ball the
complete game, but Pridgen, right
fielder made two errors at his post.
Colon Womble pitched the game and
it was his third Conference win with
no losses. The Tarboro Tar Babies
reached the Snout for six hits in 9
innings at bat. Womble walked two
men and struck out an even dozen.
JAX LOSE
THRILLER
Greenville Greenies Stop Yellow
Jackets Winning Streak
In Ten Inning Game
The Greenville Greenies defeated
the Yellow Jackets 4 to 3 in a close 10
inning game down in Greenville last
Tuesday. The Yellow Jax were just
a little bit too cocky and they did’nt
tealize they were in a ball game un
tli it v/ftL too late. The game was
featured by bone head plays and the
Jackets went into a real slump for
the first time this season.
The Jackets had won five games
and had defeated Greenville previ
ously 9 to 4, but Greenville turned
the tables on them and this game
proved to be the Greenies first Con
ference win. The Yellow Jax had 5
men who were caught napping on ihe
bases and put out. These alone
would have brought in enough runs
lo win the game. Lefty Starkes went
out of the box in the third inning af
ter Greenville had scored 3 runs. Lef
ty suffered with an injured hand and
was unable to continue playing. He
was relieved by James McNeil who
pitched shut out ball until the 10th
when with a walk, a stolen base and
a hit they scored and broke the 3-all
deadlock to win the game. Roanoke
Rapids scored in the opening inning
but when the third inning loomed up
the Greenies were leading 3-1.
The Jax trailed behind until the
lucky seventh. Sullivan came to bat
and struck out. Matthews and J.
Womble the next two up got on and
then C. Womble doubled to tie the
score. Colon, however, was caught
napping on second and joined the list
of six nappers. The score remained
a tie until the last half of the 10th
at the beginning of the tenth with C.
Womble on third and Hardison on
second McNeil tried to run a squeeze
play and score Colon, but he hit in
to a double play and it closed up
our last scoring chance. The next
tw obatters up for Greenville got out,
then one walked and the next hit a
fluke single putting a man on first
and second. The next man up sing
led and broke up the game.

Say Old Timer!
Old Fellow, we want you to read
the following as you wipe off your
long, gray beard, we want you to
stop and muse over it, then drink
your morning dope and look over it
again. * What words of praise you
have in your ancient system for the
High School Yellow Jacket baseball
team, don't keep it penned up on my
account. I did crawl you about tne
football team, but in regard to the
present baseball, team I. heartily
agree with you. It’s the best team
that ever tossed the old white pill
around for the Black and Gold. They
can hit, they can field and they play
heads up baseball, thanks to Coach
Hoyle. So scratch your head with
your crutch, Old Timer and put me
on file as saying the above. But, re
member, its baseball that we are
talking about.
