Oak Ridge, Loulsburg, Wingate, and i Pfieffer, all are without football. , Had it not been for these prob- ! lems, Campbell probably would have retained the sport for at leas j i another yeat. Mr. Marsh banks strongly stressed the fact that the school would sponsor basketball and baseball teams. The 1951 baseball team at 1 Campbell was one Os the strongest in the Carolina Conference. I Football at Campbell following the Second World War was soipe of the best played In this section. The teams had the best records in 1 the conference at that time, but the 1 sport has dropped to a new low in 1 i the past two years. The 1950 team : ' won only one game. < BUTE’S CREEK ..

The final score was i to L I Smith struck out 9 visiting bat ters and allowed only 5 hits in win ' ning his 7th game against 0 losses. The Davidson Sophomore hurlar : from LUlington has developed ra ''pidly since his Senior year In high school, and he is expected to aid the baseball team at Davidson con siderably. Johnny has struck out 70 batters in the 7 games that he has pitched in this summer for a j 10 per game average; and he has given up only 33 hits In the 7 games for a 4.7 per game average. !

MAJOR SPORTS TWIST By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) The roar of those Red Sox bats could be deceiving because it was only St. Louis Brownie pitchers against whom they were swinging, but that total of 28 hits for a double victory had a mighty omin ous sound today. The Red Sox—by winning 12 to 1 and 11 to 6 decisions from the Browns while the Yankees were losing a 6 to 0 decision to the Tigers—once more made the Ameri can League pennant scramble tighter than a New Year’s Eve party. ' The Red Sox once again were only a game behind the Yankees, as were the Indians who beat the Senators 5 to 2 in a night game marked by Lary Doby’s tremend ous homer that landed on a 35-foot high platform, 408 feet from home I plate. ! In the opener, big Walt Dropo, back for his third trial with the Sox. flashed the hitting form that made him “rookie of the year” in 1950, getting two doubles and a single to.'set the 14-hit pace. John ny .Pesky hit a three-run homer as Ray Scarborough pitched eight-hit ball to win his eighth game. WHAT A ROOKIE Rookie Charley Maxwell, deliver- I ing his third pinch home run in two weeks, was the most spectacu lar slugger in the second game, getting his blow with the bases loaded in a seventh-inning rally that countered a six-run Brownie ' uprising of starter Chuck Stobbs and reliever Harry Taylor. Jack Maguire hit a homer to touch off the Brownie rally. Clutch-hitting Clyde Vollmer got the Red Sox off right In the first Inning of the second game when he doubled with the bases loaded to highlight a three-run rally. Doby’s homer was believed to be the longest drive hit In Griffith Stadium since Babe Ruth hit one to virtually the same spot, only about 25 feet further, in 1923. It came in the third inning and gave Steve Gromek a 5 to 0 lead. Grom ek went the route with a four hitter to win his fifth game com pared with two losses. Jim Busby’s homer in the top of the 10th inning gave the White Sox a 4 to 3 victory over the A’s, leav ing the Sox still six games behind. Hal White of the Tigers, with relief help from Bob Cain, cele brated the anniversary of a two-hit shutout against the Yankees on Aug. 2. 1950. This time he gave up three hits to win his first game of the year, but Cain had'to comp on ■ with the bases loaded and none out in the seventh to strike out the side when White’s wildness got him in trouble. TEN FULL GAMES In the National League, Brooklyn went 10 full games In front by de feating the Pirates 10 to 5 with a 14-hit attack that Included a two run homer by Peewee Reese. The wcond-place Giants suffered a four-hit, 6 to 2 defeat at Chicago as Bob Rush pitched strong ball all the Way. • ; The Phillies pushed over five runs in the eighth fur a 7-to-6 vic tory at Cincinnati. At St. Louis, the Braves Were leading the Cardinals 7 to 3 in the ninth inning when the game was suspended so the Braves could catch a game will be _• >' I -, , iL. williams Gmt* Iv ■ 9 Hats Off To Pea Risige By CLYDE ADAMS The Pea Ridge Community has had a ball club and a small dia mond for several years. Sometimes when the visiting players came to play, they would laugh a little and call it the cowpasture ball field. So the people in the community decid- [ ed last fall to build a new field. Raythell Adams, one of the backers, went to see C. M. Dupree about some land for the diamond. Mr. Dupree gave the field without; charge, so Raythell and Conrad i Adams, another backer, got out and i went to work. Everybody in the ! community donated from ten to twenty-five dollars apiece. This was not enough, so the boys held a turkey shooting on Thanksgiving Day and cleared $134. Then they hired two bulldozers and pans to level the field, and it cost approxi mately S6OO. Then the people in the community donated trees, and the boys took their tractors and saws and went to the woods.- Again C. M. Dupree came to the rescue, he sawed the timber for the boys. The boys went to the saw mill and help ed run the mill. They had never worked around a saw mill—you should have seen them. J. K. Adams, Jr., donated some cypress trees for the park, and the boys went to the river and cut them. Then they bought approximately S3OO worth of tin and began enclos ing .the park. There was not enough tin so they fenced the rest of the field with wire. They had over spent about S4OO. This amount bad been loaned to them by a friend. They have paid back most of it as of today. Then came the problem of secur ing uniforms. Rosvil Adams helped out very much by giving two uni forms and helping to get more do nated. So the boys now had a park and club. William atkins helped out a great deal by getting some' equipment with which to begin playing. The team is mostly com posed of neighborhood boys. They have lost two very valuable players to the Air Force; Gerald Adams, a pitcher; and Jimmie Gardner, manager and pitcher. William Watkins is manager now and is doing 1 a wonderful job. “Doc” Smith, "The Base Ball King” of a few years past, has taken a great deal of interest in the club and -is helping out by coach ing the boys. He is a great help to the boys and to the moral of the team. Pea Ridge has won twen ty-two games and lost nine this year. They are leading the Cape , Fear League at the present with ten victories and four losses. The boys are looking forward to the end of the season so they can get back to work on their park. They plan to sow grass in the out field and put up more tin around the outfield. Their most important task is to build more seats with covers, because at the present the seating capacity is inadequate. All the visiting teams have praised the diamond and the players, because the Pea R&dge boys always show good sporteManship. They give the visiting want ! -Pea* Ridge Is planning to play played Pea Rldgei they showed that they had a very fine (toll club. The Pea RMge ball club wishes to thank everyone for their dona tions, whether time, money, uni forms, or building materials, p 0 - : ■ Golfers Continue Match Qualifvina The qualifying nights for the i Dunn Miniature Golf Tournament | are now growing to a close.
