Patterson Recreation
_ By MARGARET BUTLER
This past Saturday night crowd
of Bingo fans was bigger than "ev
er” before. Once you ever play
you will be back to play again.
Last Saturday night the special
prizes were as follows:
Ladies special, Selma Garris;
Mens special, “Doodle Bug” Hedge
peth; Grand prize, Lucille Searcey.
There were also two very spe
cial prizes given away Saturday
night to two very lucky people.
One was a thirty-two piece dinner
set that was won by Miss Hazel
Cannon. The other special prize
was a very pretty ham, compli
ments of the Pender market, and
it was won by Alvin Lattimore.
Alvin said that all that meat
would help him to put on weight
and maybe he would have more
speed on his rise ball this year.
Remember, everyone, Bingo is
played every Saturday night at
the Patterson Recreation Club.
Come out and win yourself a
prize.
..Last Thursday night ended the
set-back tournament at the Pat
terson club. It really was a terrific
battle between these smart and
expert players but someone finally
had to win. The champs from Pat
terson were the one and only ones,
Tom Glasgoe and Allie Duncan.
Congratulations to both you boys.
You will both receive a very nice
prize.
Some time this week a team of
setback players will go over to
Rosemary Recreation Club and
challenge Frank Everett’s team of
players. This will give us a chance
to see who is the best. "Good luck,
fellows”.
This is really nice weather for
the softball players to be getting
a little road work, and that’s ex
actly what these “Patterson Pi
rates” are doing. Several of the
boys are getting their pitching
arms in shape along with the very
promising young Lattimore that
will be even better this year than
ever before. Lattimore says that
he has just begun to get the hang
of that old apple and his rise ball
is the real McCoy. Patterson is
going to try to have the best team
that’s possible this year and I
think they will. They will, "Pop"
Brank says, even if “I” have to
play. Howard Wood said before
he would see the dear old Pirates
lose, that he would play in Roy
Blythe’s place on first base. Boy!
How can we lose?
Curt Gore says that if “Bab”
Ryals goes out for the Romanco
team that he will go out with
Patterson players, just to play a
gainst him. Curt said that Bab
couldn’t hit nothing but the bench
and that he would be on the op
posite side in the same place. At
least I can coach bases, said old
Curt, a one time professional root
er. Even if he doesn’t play, he
sure can talk a good game. That
really counts too, Curt.
The City Ping Pong Tournament
was finally over last week with
the Rosemary Recreation Club
taking the honor of being City
champsChester “Chippy” Simms
really did a fine job of coaching
his team to the finish and winning
out over all the others. Looks as if
the Romancos a/re best in most
everything that they go at. “Even
Romance”, says one of the players,
“Pig” Riggans. Quite true, my lad,
quite true.
The Patterson boys were really
in the tournament all the way,
and they can say that they were
there all the way even tho they
were not the winners. It wasn’t
bad at all tho, because Patterson
came out with only seventy losing
games out of two hundred and
sixteen games that were played in
all. I think that put Patterson the
runners-up of the city tournament.
Floyd Speight, another ex-Pirate
softball player for Patterson, left
Tuesday to go back to South Caro
lina where he is now stationed in
the United States Coast Guard.
Floyd had been at home with his
friends and family for a ten-day
furlough and it was very nice, he
said, seeing all his friends at the
club and being with the old gang
once more. It was a real treat and
he wants all his friends to unite to
him.
It was nice to see you again,
Floyd, and all boys were glad to
see you back in their circle for
the time you were home. We hope
to see you again, soon.
The blackout was carried out
very good Sunday night in this
section of the town. So far we
have had no complaints. Let’s ev
eryone continue to cooperate and
the results will be much better.
Everyone has a task to do and it
must be done quickly. THERE’S
NO TIME TO LOSE . . . THERE’S
JUST TIME TO WIN.
