******************** * * * * *
Kilo Swats “Upset Dope” Taking First Game Of Season
Tabs Play Bascoes
For Second Time Iri
City League Games
A double header is carded for
City League play Saturday, the
Kilo-Swats and Trueworths mix
ing it at 2 P. M., and the Tabs
meeting the Bascoes at 4 P. M., in
which promises to be a real after
noon of intertainment. Ladies will
be admitted j.ree.
The Kilo-Swats, victorious last
week for their first time, have
reinforced their team with college
players and the Trueworths are
looking for a real struggle. Starke
will be on the mound for the pow
er boys with F. Dickens on the
receiving end, while Crowder and
Coburn will no doubt form the
Trueworth’s battery.
The Trueworths have one of the
heaviest swatting clubs in the lea
gue and from views of their last
tilt will darken the chances of
another victory for the Vepcco
nine. In other words the City Lea
gue is improving in their baseball
and future games will give the fans
the kind of ball liked, with pitch
ers duels, one run victories, etc.
The second game to be called at
4 P. M. will see the two bog clubs
of the league in another close
fight. A win for the Herald Tabs
will probably cinch the first half
of the league’s championship while
the Bascoes also run close behind
the Tabs in the league rating.
Ollie Acree will start on the
mound for the Tabs and Sullivan
or Outland behind the home plate.
Acree won his only game pitched
in the league so far this season,
and will be after the second
straight for his club Saturday,
against one of the strongest out
fits to hook up with.
Finch or Birdsong, with Bird
song more likeable, will start for
the Bascoes, and Mills handling the
mitt behind home plate. This game
is the feature of the double-headr.
Admission is only twenty-five cents
for both games, come out and see
your favorite club win or get
licked.

I ONLY HEARD
By SPORTS EDITOR
We are certain local baseball
fans missed a treat when the Pea
Hill and Garners Wildcats mixed
up Sunday at Weldon. First recol
lection of these two ball clubs
were brought to light when we
received an account of their game
by mail this week and gladly print
herewith their story:
Garners Wildcats Win 8-5
Sunday the “Wildcats” meet
“Pea Hill” at Weldon winning
with a score of 8-5. This was an
interesting game for all those who
looked on. This is the “Wildcats”
third game winning two and losing
one. Warren, pitcher warmed up
by the 4th enning and this ended
their scoring. Joe Willey s.s. and
Edgar Glasgow 3rd base both add
ed two runs to the score for the
wildcats.
Next Sunday they will meet
“Buzzard town”. Nethery, 2nd
base added two runs for “Pea
Hill.”
Line up were:
“Pea Hill” Starling c, D. Jordon
s. s., A. Jordon 3b., W. Stephenson
c. f.,; Nethery 2b.; Ivey lb, J.
Jordon r. f., J. Stephenson p, Land
ing 1. f.
“Wildcats” E. Glasgow 3b, S.
Garner r. f., O. Warren c., John
Willey c. f., W. Warren p. J.
Glasgow 1. f. Joe Willey s. s., Jor
don lb, 0. Garner 2b.
Signed: “Wildcats.”
From the line up it was quite a
brotherly team for both clubs.
Don’t miss the Bunkers Hill game
this Sunday. Perhaps the wildcats
will send us information as to
where the game will be played and
other details about their club.
The City League is quite inter
esting since the Kilo-Swats won
a game Saturday. The Bascoes,
victims of the Kilo-Swats, tells us
the City League championship will
be a cinch for the Kilo-Swats if
they next sign Lefty Grove and
Johnny Allen to pitch the balance
of their schedule, while the Kilo
Swats say the Bascoes can’t take
it.
It seems that the Kilo-Swats are
using men on their club that are
uneligible for play according to
rules “drew-up” when the League
opened and are the Bascoes hot?
If more interest is shown with the
fans, why not break all rules for
more gate receipts ?
C. Wiomble lucked three hits
Saturday playing for the Swats
as fans tell me, and if he wasn’t
so blooming lazy he could or would
have gotten four bingles - it
looked like a walking marathon
when he gets set to run out a
base knock.
At least one former Jacket foot
ball player made the glee club at
Use This Laxative
made from plants
Thedford’s Black-Draught is
made from plants that grow in the
ground, like the garden vegetables
you eat at every meal. NATURE
has put into these plants ah active
medicine that stimulates the bowels
to act — Just as Nature put the ma
terials that sustain your body into
the vegetable foods you eat.
In Black-Draught you have a natu
ral laxative, tree from synthetic
drugs. Its us^ does not make you
have to depend on cathartic chemical
drugs to get the bowels to act daily.
Now you can act Black-Draught in
the form of a SYRUP, for Children.
Carolina U. this year—Speight is
often heard in his sleep repeating
“Broadway here I come”—if you
know it “Pig” is quite a crooner
so say the skirts.
Just before school closed Coach
Hoyle called out candidates who
were expecting to report for foot
ball drills at the opening of the
next school year. 115 boys showed
up and all with high spirits. If you
ask me a number of these boys
will have to be escorted by a nurse
or brought to the drills in a baby
carriage.
Talking about the argument in
the Piedmont League over lighting
systems—-The Yellow Jackets are
wondering how Hoyle will manage
to drill them next fall by auto
headlights after burning out a
couple of batteries during the foot
ball season last year.
._
Those two Womble boys sure
caused a big part in the Kilo-Swats
first victory—and the Vepco play
ers still hate to admit they are
getting old—they rate yet—high
price power rates.
The state prison farm at Cale
donia is eager to book a game with
a local ball club soon—we may
have a few of our local players as
opponents—and wouldn’t that be a
familiar gathering?
_
It is understood ladies will be
admitted free to all City League
games so in the future ladies you
won’t have to jump the fence.
Just think of all the clerks in
the local stores that were once
ball players and still like the game
—they beg- of the local clubs to
stage a few of their games on
Wednesday afternoons.
If you fail to see any local base
ball game and would like to get
an inning by inning account of it,
just venture on the avenue, any
lamp post will be convenient.
