PAGE TWO Middleburg Whips Henderson Highs 13-11 In Slugf est Callaway Leads Locals With Heavy Stick Work Jackson Fans 20 Men Ass Three IHender son Pitchers Are Shelled Dick Calloway’s big bat went on a rampage yesterday but it waa not enough to bring Henderson from be hind as Middleburg highs racked up a 13-11 victory over the Bulldogs at Middleburg. The big catcher of the Bulldogs rapped out two triples, a home run and a single, and was walked the fifth time he came to the plate with a man on base, giving him a perfect day. Coach Bing Miller didn’t get the pitching he expected from Owens and Smith, Middleburg chasing Owens aft er the second inning in which four tallies were registered, and Smith took over the duties until the fifth when he was greeted with a string of base hits that' gave Middleburg five runs. Lefty Riggan took over the hurling at this point and did fair work the remainder of the way. Jackson Fans 20 Jackson proved too much for 20 Henderson hitters, who went out by the strike out. He gave life to six of them by free passes to first base. Edgar Edwards helped Calloway with the batting, getting three 'hits, a home run and two singles. Turner was the only other Bulldog to get more than one hit. Jackson was best at bat for Middle burg with a home run, triple and a single. Breedlove, Eennett and White got two hits each to aid in copping the victory. Henderson journeys to Wake Forest tomorrow afternoon and returns to the home lot Friday for a return en gagement with Middleburg.

Rowan drys have said they will put a com plete and solid ticket (including two candidates for House seats) in the field. George Uzzell, incumbent and wet, is already in the field, and Wal ter (Pete) Murphy, veteran and also wet, was expected to announce at any minute (may have done so ere you read these lines)... .This column’s map of North Carolina shows a mini mum of 200 candidates for House seats, and there will certainly be near ly twice that number when all the filing has been done. All political news sinks into com parative insignificance these days, however, what with the baseball sea son opening in the big leagues.

No Drastic Steps Likely On Old A. & N. C. Road (Continuer: from Page One.) statement of Manager H. p. Crowell that the road showed a profit for the month. The furlough plan, it was an nounced by Mr. Crowell, was adopted in view of the precipitate drop shown by April receipts. The A. and N. C. has long been a source of concern to State officials. It was predicted when the Morehead terminals were completed that there would be a change for the better, but such predictions have not been met. As a matter of fact, the business handled through the port of More head, figures show, has been confined almost, exclusively to a brisk, but brief, spurt in the export of scrap iron, an item which has fallen off in recent months almost to the vanish ing point. Imports through the port have been virtually nil, two small cargoes of salt (one of which lay in Morehead for about a year and was then ship ped elsewhere by water) and one of beer representing practically the gross total. According to figures from the Unit ed States district engineer’s office, the port of Morehead showed no imports whatever for the year 1937. Exports amounted to 61,956 tons, valued at $1,036,263 all in scrap iron. For 1937, the volume of coastwise commerce amounted to 845 tons with a valuation of $73,269. In discussion of the entire port and rail question, Governor Hoey said that there is apparently nothing that dan he done until North Carolina shippers bean to ship there goods out of the B*|VT OW’S the time to fill every empty socket and to re- I 1 place burned-out or blackened bulbs with bright, new MAZDA lamps.

Governor Hoey pointed out, how ever, that neither these companies or any others can be expected to use North Carolina ports when the exist ing freight rate differentials make it cheaper for them to ship through out of-the-State ports.
