Dear Editor: While reading the news in the Journal-Patriot published Oct. 8, I noticed an article where the baseball tans of North Wilkes- boro sent School Boy Rowe con gratulations telling him that Diszy Dean was not in his class. I heartily agree with the fans on that point, for Dizzy and h'j brother, Paul, are both in a much higher class than Rowe will ever be.
