High praise for the boys of the Springs team w^s being heard today for their season’s hard fight to get int- the finals, and the fine showing they had made for the season. It was pointed out that this was but the second season for Legion Junior baseball in Red Springs and that the Charlie Hall post had come a long way in two short seasons. Too, Coach Willie C. Hodgin states that the boys had two tough weeks of baseball prior to entering the finals with the Towlehs, and that rest between the one day’s semi-finals and the starting of the finals was not sufficient for the team to rest in order to give their best performance. He was high ly pleased with the fine spirits of the boys shown throughout the season and felt that the entire season had been an out standing success. Dr. C. H. Lennon Dies In Rowland Dr. Carl H.
