SAY YOU SAW IT HERE... Inflation is the price we pay for those government benefits everybody thought were free. The fact that we now have three semi-pro baseball leagues active in the area gives rise to a very important question-wonder why the rival leagues do not plan a championship playoff series to determine a city champion? Local golfers are playing super. Walter Strong won the second flight title in the First Annual Michelob Open Golf Tournament at the Ridge wood Golf Course in Columbia, S.C. last week end. Bernard Thompson, Melvin Griffin, Keith Marshall, Shelley Lawrence, Preach Moore and James Bouler were other local golfers who competed in the event. Gamble captured the third flight champion ship. L,ocai gon puns win De mieresieu in learning that the Raleigh OIC’s Third annual Golf Classic will be held August 5 & 6 at the Pine Hollow Golf Course, off Highway 70-A in Clayton, N.C. Entry fee is $35 per person and the deadline for entry has been set for Monday, July 31. Address all information to the Raleigh OIC, 415 E. Martin St., Raleigh, NC 27601. Norfolk State’s new basketball coach has corralled two Florida cagers. Lewis Thomas, 6’8” center, and Frank Stallworth, 6-6 forward, have signed grant-in aid scholarship pacts with the Spartans. Thomas averaged 18 points with Escumbie High of West Palm Beach last season. Mitchell describes Stallworth as a “good shooter and excellent rebounder.” Shaw University has a new Director of Athletic. He’s Dr. William Spann, a former Bears football star who replaces Dr. James E. Lytle. In addition to his duties as athletic director, Dr. Spann will assume the position of Coordinator of the Health and Physical Educa tion Department. The National Black Association of Women s Sports (NBAWS) has selected Hampton Institute ^ as the site of their 1979 tournament. " Harding High School’s athletic field is going to be an interesting place to attend Saturday afternoon. The occassion is the second meeting of the year between die northside Bombers end the surging Morris Field Rangers. The Bom bers, one of only two teams to defeat Herman Thomas’s speedy crew, won the first match earlier in the year. Cleo Graham, commissioner of the Queen City Softball League has high praise for Johnny Duncan, coach of the surprising Derita Blazers who have won three of their last five encounters. “He’s doing an outstanding job with a com paratively young team,” praises Graham. Incidentally, Derita takes on the league’s east division leaders, Hit & Run Saturday afternoon. It’s the circuit’s top attraction. A good guess is that Ken Norton .will defeat Larry Holmes in what should be a great heavyweight batUe Friday night. It’s also a good guess that Norton will KO his opponent near the end. But Norton won’t have a breeze against hard-hitting Holmes, who has a cannon of a right hand.

I had trouble keeping the ball low. I had trouble gaining control of the flight of the ball.” “I also didn’t know that the body played such a great role in the placement of the ball. I am very anxious to play and would like to be in a tourna ment before the end of the year," she added.
