ber, support football teams, and
those that do are located in the
far western part of the state. 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. <

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

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
