PAGE SIX SPORTS 4 OF THE Ijgl COUNTY M MANY YEARS AGO On this page today is a picture of Roxboro’s baseball team of many years ago. It is a good picture and many of the men in the picture are living right here in Rox boro today. Others are living elsewhere. Back in good old days the people of this city loved their baseball and the players that were on this team were real players. A few of them could play a fair game of baseball today. Earl Bradsher for instance is about as hot at golf today as he was in baseball in the old days. Burleigh Clayton still gets out his glove and warms up a bit almost any summer day and the last time that we saw him throwing them over he could put a fair amount of curve on the ball. W. D. Merritt was the coach back in those days and altho we do not know whether he could coach baseball now we do know thftt he could do a good job with a foot ball team. L R. Bradsher Has Citation For Efficiency Son Os M.r. and Mrs. Raymond Bradsher, Leasburg, Is Patton Truck Driver. Technician Fifth Grade, James R. I Bradsher, of Leasburg, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Raymond Bradsher, of Leasburg, who is a truck driver in Luxembourg and Germany with Sen. George C. Patton’s Third Army, has recently received a com mendation for efficiency from Lt. Col. James G. Attaway, command ing officer of the Quartermaster Corps, 211 Battalion of Mobile units, according to information received tty Bradsher's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Bradsher also have uiother son in service, Pfc. Flint N. Bradsher, now in Italy as an ambu lance driver. Pfc. Bradsher, wounds ed at one time, has recovered and long since returned to duty. The commendation for duty per formed by James R. Bradsher, reads as follows: 1.
