Such was the class exhibited by the Rutherford boys that general opinion here is that no team except Mt. Airy will be able to keep them from going to Chapel Hill—and Mt, Airy, if anyone cares to know, will have a neat and difficult job of turning that trick. Dopesters have been saying for a week or more that the winner of the Shelby-Forest City game would be the most dan gerous threat for the state title in class B. But a Mt. Airy team thai packed plenty of hitting dynamite and a clever southpaw pitcher last ■ year has shown similar assets this year. Just the other day Mt. Airy , trampled Thomasville, a good club.

Forest City scored twice in the first inning on a mixture of hits and errors. Thereafter the play was of a high type with neither club scoring until Forest City pushed over a final run in the ninth. A large crowd attended the contest.; but threatening weather and occa-; sional light showers kept scores of j others away.
