ALEXANDER-FOREST CITY
TEAM IS STRENGTHENED
The first game of the Carolina
Textile League to be played in the
local pai'k will be played Thursday
when Forest City-Alexander will
meet 'the strong Bessemer City
team.
"Smoky" Davis, new hurler, will
probably be on the mound for the
local team.
The local team has not been set
ting the league on fire but when the
team trots out on the field Thurs
day they will have a much stronger
team than they have presented thus
far on Recount of the addition of
several of the local high school and
former college stars.
With the signing of "Jeeks" Blan
ton, Forest City high third baseman,
the team will be greatly strengthen
ed at the hot corner. Blanton hung
up a remarkable record during the
spring at third base for "Babe
Seitz's high school champions and
will no doubt be the class of the
league this summer if given a chance
to display his goods.
Willie Moss and Joe Hamrick
have also signed up with the local
team.
Moss was regular first baseman
for the "Demon Deacons" until a
broken ankle put him out of the
game this spring. However his ankle
is now in fine shape and he is ready
to show local fans the same class of
baseball that he has shown in days
gone by.
Hamrick was a substitute first
baseman at Wake Forest two or
three years ago.
Thirty-six business houses will
close their doors Thursday after
noon and their employees will see the
local team in action for their first
time. ' . .
