m Rosemary No. 1 Spinners headed by Capt. Beach Massey will oppose Rocky Mount Mills of Rocky Mount N. C. here Sunday. 2:30 p.m. at Ledgerwood Park. The Spins arc on top in the Rosemary Softball League. Russ Deberry will pitch and Ronald Everette will catch for the Spins. Capt. Massey will prob ably send “Ace” Wright to the mound in the nightcap. There is plenty of parking space available which makes it possible for you to sit in your car and enjoy the game. —n— Rosemary No. 1 Spins and No. 2 Weavers journeyed over to Wil liams Field, Patterson, last Sunday, and played a double-header with Roddy Meikle and his Patterson team and Oakley Vaughn and his No. 1 Roanoke Mill outfit.- Every body had a good time, even the umpires enjoying the games. —o— Give a boost to “Ace” Wright, who held the heavy hitting No. 2 Weavers to two hits by Dick Lee and won his game 1-0, in eleven innings It was the longest game played so far in the league. Lind say Sadler scored the winning run in the 11th on a wild throw. —n— Ronny Everette, the heavy hitting catcher of No. 1 Spins, has been on the shelf for the past week with a bad ankle but will be back in harness Sunday. —o— Tennis, shuffleboard and horse shoes wifi be in full bloom next week as the summer recreational program gets in full swing. Includ ed on the horse shoers’ schedule is a contest with Richmond in June. The visiting team has the city and Va. state champion on it. —o— Why not a junior softball or base ball league this summer with a team on each street in the village, to be sponsored by the Recreation Club, and each team to be coached by an older member. One of the requirements—each boy must at tend Sunday School every Sunday. The kids are future members of the club, you know. Give it a thought, President Cameron! —o— And do you remember some of the boys who at one time played in the Rosemary street league of long ago—Geo. Sullivan, Irvin Dick ens, George Nethercutc, Hurley Midgette, Dick Lee, Fred Mills, Snooks Matthews, Wilton Dickens,' Elmer Starke, Lefty Everette, ! Woody Garris, Jimmy Womble, Chet Allsbrook, Tom Taylor, Ru dolph Waters, and plenty more. It would pay to have a street league. Patterson Recreation table ten- j nis team visited Rosemary Tuesday | night with an eight-man team and lost six matches to two. -However, in all fairness to the Patterson team, they were heavily handicap ped because they have been playing table tennis and the Rosemary boys have been playing ping pong. How ever, in a sportsmanlike attitude, Roddy Meikle agreed to play ping pong and the matches went on. Personally, I think it would be a good idea to have a meeting of Vepco, Patterson, Roanoke and Rosemary agree on a set of rules, form a league, buy a trophy and go to town! Watch “Red” Carver, if the red headed one keeps on improving in his softball, watch out. He’s a hard worker and if he keeps that up improvement is bound to con tinue! They finaly did it! The Rose mary ping pong team evened the series with Virginia Electric & Power by a 5-3 score. The first meet was in favor of Vepco 5-3. The return match played at Vepco ended in a tie, 4-4. The games Wednesday night evened things up. Another match will be played next ! Wednesday night at Vepco. Frank Sherry has a fine team, all of them are good sports, and the Rosemary ■ team really enjoys the competition. —o— Sportorama: Will be looking for you at Ledgerwood Sunday.—Why not a ping pong league.—Why don’t the softball players get together themselves and have a City Softball League -it’s just an idea! | Leggett's Old Shoe Contest On With Leggett’s Department Store’s Shoe Department-Bicycle Contest in the 3rd week, there axe some two score or more youngsters “battling it out” for the first four places, and the coveted prizes.
