Altho the teams were composed of fat and lean players yet that did not handicap the locals winning. The first frame opened pretty bad for the locals when Ole man Pace began to toss 'em over as if the Henderson boys had just arrived from the kindergarden and before Big Man Welch wav ed him from the box the visitors had netted two runs brought about by two hits, errors by Nantz and Williams and a wild pitch. Dunham then relieved Pace and that wa3 the undoing of the Henderson lads. Roanoke Rapids-Rosemary scored one in the first after two were down by an error, stolen base and hit by Wheeler. From the time that Dunham entered the box until the last inning he was the whole show and not until the ninth did a single man touch him for a safe ty. He fanned eleven men in the eight innings that he work ed. Neither team scored again un til the fifth when Rosemary. Roanoke Rapids jumped on For- sythe's offerings and scored three runs which put the game on ice. At this period of the game Forsythe was relieved by Denison, but in the sixth the locals pounded him for two more runs, after this frame both teams settled down and neither team scored. But one hit was recorded on either side and that one by the Henderson delegation. The game was featured by the Pitching of Dunham who held the visitors in the hollow of his hand with his underhand bend ers. Blake, the Henderson third baseman was the only man to connect with him. He seem ed as strong in the ninth as he was in the second, He hit out two singles and a double at four trips to the plate. The game was played fast all the route and would have been faultless but for the interference of two or three outsiders who took it upon themselves to trou ble the players and pull off side line stunts. Score: Henderson, 200 000 000 Rosemary-Roanoke Rapids. 100 003 200. Batteries: Pace, Dunham and Gardner; Forsythe, Denison and Cash. MRS. KATE T. LYNCH Mrs. Kate T. Lynch, beloved wife of Mr. June W. Lynch, died at their home in Rosemary Mill Village Monday after an extended illness covering over four years. She leaves a hus band and three children. She was a member of the Baptist Church.
