POLECAT LEAGUE
MAY PLAY YANKS
PHOO! IT STINKS!
The Polecat League, composed
of the Zebulon and Wendell play
ground teams, was very much un
able to play a scheduled game
Monday afternoon.
This g,me was to be played on
the Wakelon diamond. However,
when the Wendell team failed to
show up, Mrs. Dell, coach, director,
manager, etc., took the local stars
over to the enemies’ diamond.
There was no sign of a team at
Wendell, either, so the playground
boys from Zebulon were forced to
take the game by default.
No definite time hss been set
for another game. Nearly every
time the local talent organizes to
defeat the Wendell nine, the Wen
dell nine is not to be found.
The Polecat League is called the
fastest league in the nation by the
teams who participate. They are
now considering playing the New
York Yankees for the "world’s
championship on a winner-take
all basis.
This year more people have
gone to see games played by this
league than ever before. Thus far
37 people, excluding players, have
seen the four games. Three pins
have been taken in at the ticket
box.
Watch this page next week for
more news concerning games to be
played by this league.
TENNIS MATCH CAN
NOT BE PLAYED BE
CAUSE OF NO CO-OP.
Due to the lack of interest and
of co-operztion the tennis match
scheduled with Wake Forest Col
lege has been called off.
It is still possible to have this
match if the tennis players in this
city will get together and have a
tournament to select players. The
Wake Forest team is prepared to
play the locals.
If anyone is interested enough
to want to play he is invited to
give his name to the sports editor.
If enough are interested, a tourna
ment will be held to select players.
HERE'S THAT GAL
AGAIN- MAKES 112
Mary Margaret Finch, who was
last week’s champ, tied with Mrs.
Raleigh Alford for first place in
the women’s division in bowling.
Miss Finch places first or second
every week. Both Miss Finch and
Mrs. Alford scored 112.
11. C. Wade reted high with 135
in the men’s division. Rom Moser
came in a close second with 131.
These scores were much higer than
those last week.
Interest in bowling is growing as
the bowlers become more skillful,
and the psrticipants are being di
vided into three classes. Those who
roll the balls, those who bowl, and
those who bowl well.
