Scotland Neck will play at Roa
noke Rapids Saturday afternoon
of this week. This will be the
first appearance of this club as
the first game here was rained out
last Friday.
The game will start at 3:30.
All week day games start at 4
p.m., Saturday games at 3:30, Sun
day games at 3.
I he Lucama team, fast outfit
from the Central Carolina League,
will play Roanoke Rapids here this
Sunday afternoon At 3 o’clock.
These boys have a real club in a
league which is faster than the
Roanoke-Chowan and this game
should provide the fans with plen
ty of good baseball.
Next Wednesday afternoon,
Windsor will play here and next
Saturday, August 10th, Ahoskie
will play here. This last will be
a crucial game as this will be
the end of the 4th week of the
half and the chances are it will be
“dog eat dog” between Roanoke
Rapids and Ahoskie at that time.
The local boys are playing at
Ahoskie today. They play there
four times and Ahoskie comes
here only twice, which makes it
not so good, according to reports
from the last game there.
Ahoskie is the team which caus
ed all the trouble in the first half
by playing ineligible players. They
were allowed to stay in the last
half by promising to use only
twelve players, a list of which was
to be certified to Levira Leggett
of Hobgood, President of the
League. Mr. Leggett says they
gave him a list of 14, but have
never certified the 12 which were
supposed to have been selected
at the start of the second half.
Roanoke Rapids is demanding this
list now.
Another feature which is being
watched carefully is the report
that Windsor is laying down to
Ahoskie. This was started be
cause in the first game of this

half, Windsor pitched everybody
but pitchers, claiming all their
pitchers had sore arms. The two
teams will meet six times this
half.
At the first sign of collusion,
other teams in the league expect
to take di’astic action to eliminate
one of the two teams from the
league.
President Leggett has as yet
taken no action regarding the first
half, which was never played out;
rained out games were not played.
He says Judge Branham has not
given him a ruling, altho he wrote
two weeks or more ago.
Windsor is claiming it, altho
they have a game each to play
with Hobgood and Roanoke Rap
ids, which might change the final
standing.
So watch for plenty of fire
works in the Roanoke-Chowan
League during the next month.
