Trip to Norfolk Proves Disastrous Norfolk Cops with Rejuvinated Team is More Than Locals Can Handle. Both Games Lost by a Single Bad Inning in Each Game. DEMPSTER WINS DOUBLE HEADER TRINITY BEATEN BY COPS Collegian* Playing For Roanoke Rap id* Are Ron Ragged Since the Herald reporter did not go with the team to Norfolk, we are printing the stories of the games as they appeared in the Ledger-Dispatch and the Virginian-Pilot. Lou Stanley had the visitors completely buffaloed after the first inning yesterday, while Hoodoo Sanderson failed to ex ercise his hoodoo over the Cop pens. A base on balls, H. John Bon’s triple and Spike’s double gave the invaders their only two runs in the opening frame. The Police got to Sanderson in the fourth inning and scored five times. Gillette walked Dillon doubled, Grotey sacrificed; Champagne singled, Hudgins was hit by a pitched ball, and Rhodes tripled. Hornberger singled to drive in the fifth run ner. After that the Cops scored at will. BOX SCORE R. R.

DEMPSTER UNABLE TO HOLD POLICE Jump On Him In Sixth For Same Number Runs, Making It Two Straight Dempster, star twirler for the Roanoke Rapids aggrega tion, weakened in the sixth and the Norfolk Cops pelted him with enough base hits in that frame to romp home with their second straight win from the Carolina team. The final score was 6 to 1 and the police were held scoreless but for that one stanza. The visiting hurler had things his own way for the first five in nings and only two of the cops reached first during these frames; one on an error and the other by the four ball route. In the meanwhile Richardson had been touched for four scattered hits but the players from Trinity bad been unable to register a run on the hooks he consistently fed them with. He also started the fireworks in the sixth by poking a Texas leaguer behind third base. The next two men bunted and errors in judgment on the part of the Down Homers’ infield resulted in both being safe, loading the bases. A single, a double and two more singles followed in rap id succession and before the cloud of dust had been blown away six Norfolk police had crossed the pan. A home run by Dempster in the seventh was the only run that the Roanoke Rapids club could push across. Both teams hit hard and fielded well, but the one rally made by the police, when they tallied six times, was the only period of the game that either chib bunched their hits. Threatening weather kept the crowds away and the game was Played before a mere handful of spectators.

Triple R’s Delert Triple A's The double header between Jim Reed’s Portsmouth Triple A’s and Bill Towe’s Triple R’s furnished the Roanoke Rapids - Rosemary fans with about all the baseball they could handle in a single afternoon. Both games were well played and very satis fying to the 3R fans and betters. John Dempster’s pitching was about as good as one could ex pect to see for seventy-five cop pers, especially so when llarvey Johnton’s work with the stick is thrown in for good measure. Harvey cracked out a homer in the first game, as did PeeWee Turner. In the second game he was a little off his usual stride, he only got four hits out of as many times to the plate, bring ing his average clown to the 10()t class. In this bout “Candy Ball’ Smith and J. D. Johnson hit in the select 500 group, while “Ev#”English got a littie spend ing money with his circuit clout for four bases. O'ltouke on the mound for A A. A. worked out a pretty gooc game in the starter. He allowec the home lads only seven hits during their eight innings at the bat. He thougt he would rest during the nightcap and swapper positions with Smith, formei Pittsburgh tosser, who had been chasing the high ones out in thr center garden. The big league) did not do so well on the mound. During his five frames the Roa noka Rapids - Rosemory playen touched him up for eight hits and five runs. Esleck relievec him of the burden in the sixth, and had hardly begun before he was himself relieved. Twc doubles in succession from the clubs of Messrs. Smith and John son was a terrifying sight tc Manager Reed and he called his lamb from the block lest he be unmercifully slaughtered. With both the relief tossers relived, the task was again placed up tc O’Rouke. He pitched the remain ing two innings in pretty good style, suffering only two singles to be gathered of his delivery. The tossing of John Dempster was altogether different from that of the salt water athletes. John worked out about the nifti est game seen in Rosemary Park this year during the first nine innings, and he came very near repeating in the second. He had both his fast ones and his slow balls working to prefection. In the opening strugle he struck out eight of the Portsmouth batters, gave up only three hits, and whitewashed them. It was a good thick coating of scoreless white lime in which he ducked them. In the second game 33 Triple A batsmen faced Demps ter. He sent ten of them back bv the one-two-three method, while seven connected with hits and scored three runs. Hall, Triple A keystoner, play ed an errorless game and slugged his way into the 500 class in the closing fracas. The fielding of Bill Towe and PeeWee Turner were features of the game. Thev accepted without error ten and eight chances respectively. Home runs were responsible for all the scores in the opener. Spikes singled in the sixth and was brought home when Turner raised one over the fence. While Johnson’s clout in the eighth, with no one on, accounted for the third tally. In the second game the Sea siders took an early start, getting two runs and three hits in the second. Dempster tightened up and held them scoreless until the ninth when he was resting safe ly under a five run lead. The I!. R. R. men got all theirs in the fifth and sixth frames. They landed on Smith for five scores in the fifth, and snatched two from [Esleck during hi- 1 • i . mo ments on the in.. in tin ixth. They also reamed the Ports mouth trio for an even dozen hits during this --crap. FIRST GAME k H E A. A. A. 000000 000 0 3 1 R.R.R. (Km 002 01 x 3 7 0 O’Rouke and Brinkley Dempster and H.

One of Every Seven Animals Had Dread Disease. _ (Prepared by th« I'ntted Btaten Department ! or At. iculture.) Federal meat-inspection records for the year 1D22 show that an average of one hog out of every seven slaughtered In establishments under federal In spection during the year showed lea ions of tuberculosis. Altogether, 39, 416,-139 hogs were slaughtered under federal Inspection In 1922. and 5,640, 061 of them showed lesions of the disease. Hogs are Infected princ’pally by fol lowing diseased cattle In the feed lot and by drinking milk from tuberculous cattle. Because of the short feeding period of hogs, the tuberculous lesions are usually localized; the head and glands of the neck are most commonly affected. However, It is estimated that In 1922 more than $2,OCO,OQO >f pork was condemned a;, for i a food on account of tufc Iosls. This Is hut a part of the u loss sustained by the nation on count of tuberculosis In hogs. Anlmi affected with the disease cannot mi the best gains, and the danger human health la a factor always to considered. The vigorous campaign being < ducted for the eradication of . dread disease has resulted up March 1, 1923, in 24,132 accredi herds in the United States, in wh more than a half million cattle h. been pronounced free from tuber losis. Every herd that Is freed duces the menace to the hog Indus* Soy Beans With Com Do Not Lessen Yiel There is no decrease in yield of coi when sov beans are planted with V corn, judging by results at the Oh. experiment station. Over a period i throe years each acre of soy beans an corn, plan. '1 for hogging down, mao 180 pounds fhore grain to the acre tha corn alone. When planted for silage, corn ar soy beans showed even more deqide advantages. Corn alone averaged 8.1 tons of silage to the acre; the corn soy bean combination, 11.2 tons to th acre. The combination proved mo? profitable in wet seasons. The poor* the soil, the more likely are corn a? any beans to be good business. Tl. corn and soy beans can be drilled t gether at the same time. The soy-bes seed should be inoculated. Lime th* soil, if sour. Dairy cows receiving corn-soy beat silage need less bran and oilmeal that) those • cceiving corn silage. Figuring the pivtein at 5 cents a pound, and the carbohydrates at 1 cent a pound, the mixed crop has been found worth about $6 more to the acre than corn alone Chemicals to Play Important Part in Eradication. (Prepared by the United Stat«« Department I of Agriculture.) Chemicals will play an Important part this year In the eradication cam paign against the common barberry,. which aids the spread of black stem rust to the wheat fields. Where only the digging method has been practiced it was dllllcult to remove all the roots, especially In rocky ground or around tree stumps. Where even the small est fragments of the roots were not destroyed, sprouts have sprung up the following year, necessitating a repeti tion of the work. In lawns or gardens where a careful watch can be kept of the places from which bushes have been removed, digging Is all right, for In a year or two all roots left at the first digging will have sprouted and can be removed To make the eradication of the bushes simple and sure, two chemicals have been found by the United States Department of Agriculture to be ef fective for use In such places as pas tures and wooded lots and along fences where It Is difficult either to dig bushes up completely or to locate the exact spots In a resurvey. Of these two, common or crushed rock salt Is very satisfactory. Ten pounds of salt plied on the erwwxn will kill i a bush of i ■we rage sl*.e.
