Tigers are Little League Champs
Services Today for
John L. Merkersom
By Lance Guy
The Lions Club Tigers climaxed
a successful season by scoring a
convincing 8-5 victory Saturday
night over the Yankees in the de
ciding game of the Wake Forest
Little League Tournament. The
Tigers went through the tourna
ment play undefeated; the Yan
kees lost twice, both times to the
Tigers. The Yankees made a val
iant effort to capture the series’
finale, but a five run fourth-inning
fell short as Tiger centerfielder
Mike Wall corailed a long fly off
the bat of Jerry Looper. The Tig
ers had built a 6-0 lead due to
some adept baserunning aided by ||
VcmlrAo oWArc •5v»
Yankee errors. Then in the Tiger
fifth an error, Larry Warren’s dou
ble, and a scorching line-drive
triple to left field by Danny
Crutchfield produced the final two
runs for the Tigers. Danny Blake,
in relief of Tiger starting and win
ning pitcher Steve Holmon, set
down the Yankees in the home
fifth.
Most of the local baseball per
sonalities and many of the fans
agreed that the Tigers-Yankees
tension filled encounter illustrated
the brand of baseball played in
the league this year. To be sure,
some of the teams were ill-organ
ized, but for the most part the
spirit of competition was much
keener than in any previous year.
However, the most notable dif
ference was the victorious Tiger’s
style of play. Asked to comment
on his team’s success. Tiger Coach
Charlie Padgett said “They played
the game their way and we played
it the right way.” Pressed for clar
ification on this point. Coach Pad
gett said “It all depends on your
philosophy, if you’ve got one. In
most non - professional leagues,
such as the Little League the best
offense is always a good defense.
We concentrated less on base hits
and more on just making contact
with the ball. The greater the
number of times a team is forced
to field a ball the greater the pos
sibility of miscue. Once we’re on
the base we like to create a little
confusion. Conversely, most of our
practice sessions were spent learn
ing how to think defensively. For
example, our most successful pit
cher, Steve Holman, doesn’t throw
nearly as hard as some of the other
pitchers, but he can talk to you
for five minutes on what it means
for the pitcher to be a fifth in
fielder. There are no pitchers in
the league who are as capable as
Holman in defensive reaction. But
Littles League Runners-up
The Wake Forest Little League Yankees were runners-up for the
championship this year. Pictured (1 to r) are; Front row — Pat
Alford, Hank Weaver, David Dixon, Bruce Ray, Bill Woodlief, Roy
Summer; Second Row — Wayne Blackmon, Steve Holding, Chuck
Stalvey, Jerry Looper, Danny Oakley, Watson Jones, and in back.
Coach Roger Ray and Assistant Coach Bobby Wilkinson. Bill Woot
en, Ronnie Hammack, Bobby Parker, Tim Mabrey, and Johnny
Dean were not present for the picture. —(Bob Allen Photo).
overall, I’d say that aside from
learning that there is more to base
ball than a bat and a ball, the boys
are secure in the knowledge that
a lot of guts can make a small
amount of ability go a long way.
Take a group of boys who want
to eat, sleep, drink, and think
baseball and victory willl always
be within reach.’”
Of the ten Tiger players seven
will be returning next year. It’s
likely to be a long summer for
the' opposition.

Rolesville Deacons
Honor Rev. Jones
WASHINGTON — Second only
to concern about Vietnam is that
expifessed about girowing crime
and violence. I consider crime
our most important domestic
problem.
Here in Washington crime has
reached appaling proportions. Al
most any 24 hour period could be
designated as “crime day”. At
tacks by bandits on homes, of
fices, banks, and their innocent
citizens fill the newspapers. All
sections of the city are targets.
Yet, the situation is not confined
to this city. FBI reports show that
serious crime is mounting at an
alarming rate in all areas of the
country. While we have pursued
other domestic goals, crime has
become a national disgrace.
Some change may be in the
offing. A few days ago, the At
torney-General launched the Pres
ident’s new national crime com
mission with the assurance that
crime is to get special attention.
On July 22, 23, and 30, I conducted
Senate hearings on a special pro
posal to aid law enforcement of
ficials throughout the country. The
measure, which has since passed
the House unanimously, calls for
training programs for local law
enforcement personnel and for
projects to improve anti-crime
techniques. Federal grants of $10
million annually for three years
would assist state and local en
forcement agencies in a national
attack on the problem. Senate
action is expected soon. This up
dating of police techniques and
training is a step in the right di
rection.
But the country should be aware
of the fact that better training and
improved law enforcement tech
niques will not be enough to com
bat crime. What is most needed
is a change in national attitudes
that have surrounded the devel
oping situation.
Many factors are responsible for
this spread of fear and terror that
is the talk of almost every dinner
table conservation. Of these, at
least three deserve especial at
tention as conditions which have
contributed to increased crime.
The first of these is the transi
tion from an essentially rural
America to an essentially urban
America. Family, community, and
religious ties that surrounded the
America of yesterday are not as
binding today. The sanctity of
home, and a good name receive
less emphasis than they once did.
Personal interest in how each citi
zen fares in his community has
lessened with mass migration to
the big cities. To a varying de
gree, mobility has changed em
phasis and thinking.
This is evident, too, in the social
I movements that have been taking
' place. “Civil disobedience”, with
all of its nebulous meaning, is
accepted in many circles as a
praise worthy protest to redress
grievances. Yet, when mass pro
tests cease, who can easily assess
the impact that disobedience to
one law has in the minds of men.
There is certainty that with it a
precedent has been set to break
other laws. There are doctrines
expressed in the highest govern
ment eschelons, too, that one
should not be held accountable for
grievous misdeeds. Society, it is
said, is responsible rather than
the individual, and society must
remove temptation from its citi
zens.
As a lawyer, I must confess that
many of our courts have allowed
unwise sentimentality to overcome
reason in dealing with criminals.
As a result, police are gravely
handicapped in some areas by
court rulings which offer more
protection to the criminal than to
the law-abiding citizen.
In the final analysis, however,
the battle against crime really
will depend on how concerned the
average citizen gets about this
menace. Crime commissions, and
Federal funds can aid, but public
indignation is the most effective
weapon.
The Deacons and wives of the
Rolesville Baptist Church, enter
tained The Rev. Crate Jones fam
ily on Sunday afternoon from 4
to 5 o’clock at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles WiUiams.
The Jones family who will move
to Durham this week, were pre
sented a silver tray as a going-
away gift from the group.
Other guests attending were Mr.
and Mrs. E. B. Pearce and Mr.
and Mrs. Norman Davenport of
Mackeys.
Mrs. E. B. Pearce served punch
assisted by Mrs. Johnny Pearce.
Guests were served pecan tassies,
dainty cookies, cheese straws,
open face sandwiches and lime
punch. A green and white motif
was used in the decor with the
table covered in a lace cloth. Cen
tered on the table was a floral
arrangement of mixed flowers
flanked by white candles.
