It was the first grand slam*home run made in the Albemarle League this season and resulted in the large crowd of fans going wild. Wheeler was rewarded for his feat when a hat was passed around and he received a goodly amount of cash. During the game Taylor gave up six hits, three of which were made in the fifth in ning. Vick allowed only four hits, two of which came in the ninth in ning and resulted in the Indians’ lone run. The Colonials played errorless ball, while the Indians were charged with three errors. Both teams played scoreless ball until the fifth inning when Claude Griffin singled. Buck Wheeler was safe on Cayton’s error. Both runners advanced on John Byrum’s sacrifice. Vick then singled, filling the bases. It was then that Joe Wheeler wal loped the ball, sending it far over left field fence for a circuit clout and registering four runs. The Colonials added another run in the seventh when John Byrum singled and went to second on a bad throw to first base. Vick singled and Byrum scored on Joe Wheeler’s grounder. The visitors’ lone tally was made in the ninth inning. Nowell hit a slashing double and scored when Kimbrell singled. In Hertford Friday night, the Co lonials lost the first game of the semi-final series by a count of 4-0. Moe Bauer, Indian ace hurler, op posed Lester Jordan on the mound, with Bauer having the better of the argument. The Hertford port-sider gave up only four scattered hits. He . ■..... I . T :• had the Colonials at his mercy after having been defeated the last two times the Edenton outfit, not allowing a runner to reach third base during the game. The Indians con nected safely eight times with Jor . dan’s slants and had easy sailing , throughout the game, which was wit „ nessed by a large crowd of fans. The Indians scored two runs in the second inning when Cayton doubled, I Kimbrell walked and Taylor sac rificed. Cayton then scored on Good man’s fly. Kimbrell scored’ when he raced home on a squeeze play, and Jordan threw wild at the plate. In e the sixth another run was registered . when Cayton walked and scored on j Joe Fulghum’s error. The final Hert (. ford tally was made in the seventh n as the result of singles by Brigman s and Young. e The fifth game of the series was r rained out Saturday night, so it was t played on Hicks Field Sunday after a noon. A record crowd of sweltering e fans watched the Colonials win the e series from Hertford by a score of - 5-1. Gilkerson, on the mound for the i, Indians, was opposed by J. D. I'horne, - but in an effort to save the game, e Bauer replaced Gilkerson in the sec -5 ond inning. 1 The Indians got off to an early start by scoring a run in the first in -1 ning, but thie ended their scoring for s the day. Brigman singled and scored 3 when Young singled, but a double 3 play put an end to the scoring. The Colonials had a big second in • ning when six hits netted four runs. - Claude Griffin started the fireworks t by hitting a single. Byrum then 1 followed with a single and Vick beat out a bunt to fill the bases. Thorne 1 fanned, but Joe Wheeler came 1 through with a single, scoring Gris ) fin.

Tobacco Situation Topic On Thursday At Raleigh Meeting Some Farmers Complain ~ About Government | Graders I At a meeting called by the N. C. Farm Bureau Federation in Raleigh I Thursday afternoon of last week to discuss the tobacco situation, J. B. | Hutson presented a brief summary of (the farm market situation and Jim Thigpen discussed the 1948 tobacco I allotments. Several farmers expressed them- I selves as feeling that the government I graders in some instances are not ab solutely consistent in their grading. I They seemed to feel that there was a tendency of the graders to lower the | grades. (Mr. Thigpen, of the Washington of fice, answfered this complaint by stat- I ing that the crew of graders this year have more experience and are | a considerably better job than | they did last year, that there have R been no instructions to grading to -4 bacco more strictly nor has there I been any instructions to lower grades. Ij He stated that in his opinion the «| OLD Mr. BOSTON ;( ROCKING \\ CHAIR « If BLENDED WHISKEY wmmmSSmmiSSiSm ri —^yaf^ — * grading program is being conducted > just as well as possible and that when ; any farmer "is dissatisfied with the ! grade placed on his tobacco he should ■ call the Department's attention to same and try to have it checked on. : Several farmers called for immedi ate announcement of 1948 markgting quotas, but Mr. Thigpen explained ; that there was not sufficient informa , tion on the quantity of tobacco pro - duced this year and foreign market ■ prospects for the Secretary to an s nounce the 1948 allotments at this I time. : Overman Praises : Farm-Home Week : Held In Raleigh 1 One of Best Meetings ; Ever Held, Says Local County Agent In the opinion of County Agent C.
