Sandhills ‘Junebugs’ Look Good; Some Real Stars in Making Boys From All Over Moore County Antony Candidates for Lefi^ion Junior Team By BEN BOWDEN It has been a little over a montli ^ince the idea of a Sandhills Junior American Legion baseball team was \)om and during the interim it has de veloped through the progressive stages of a fond hope, a somewhat uncer tain eventuality and. finally, a down right certainty. Hoys from, all over the Sandhills— mnehurst, Southern Pines, Vass. Cameron, A.beriieen. Hemp. Lakeview, West End and Jackson Springs- have Iried out for the team and, under the tiitelage of Coach Joe DeBerry and Manager Vance McMillan^ have de- treloped into as formidable an aggre gation of youngsters as ever graced any ball field anywhere. Some few of the candidates for the riles his pitcher's surely and com petently and can sense a batter's weakness almost immediately. Pos sesses a rifle-like peg to second base and is the spark plug of the team. One of the most timely hitters on the club, he frequently connects for extra bases and when he doesn’t hit he manages to get on base in one man ner or another. The answer to any coach's prayer. Clyde Dunn, second base—There’s no question as to his eligibility. The baby of the squad, both as to age and stature, he'll be eligible for sev eral years to come. A hard worker with a lot of natural ability and an all-consuming desire to be a ball player, he needs more size and strength before he can break into the regular line-up. But at that, we wouldn’t be surprised to see him make the squad. He'll come in handy as a pinch hitter when they need to get a man on base. His size makes “Junebugs” are real stars; some are far above the average ability of boys 1 him hard to pitch to, and then, too, of their age, some are future greats he could fill in at second in an with nothing but their youth and m-; emergency. experience against them and a few { Frank Buchan, shortstop—A bril- are such recent newcomers to the ■ liant fieloer and a dependable hitter, ranks of the hopeful that no definite particularly in the clinches.

Hospital Dr. Mud^ett Congratulates Or-j Kanizers After Evidence of | Great Need in County Last week the pre-natal clinic was held for the first time at the Moore County Hospital. This clinic, who.ie patients come from Pinebluff, Addor, Aberdeer>, Southern Pines, Manly and Pinehurst, was until now held at the Community House in Aberdeen. Though this building was centrally lo- lated and exceedingly well-arranged it has for some time been felt that it should be reserved for the purposes for which it was designed. This was generally recognized and the gener osity of those who were responsible for allowing the clinic to be held there waa greatly appreciated. At the same time it has been realized that the hospital was the logical place for the clinics, offering to the doctors, as no other place could, facilities to deal with whatever problem might arise. During the winter the hospital was unable to take over the clinics but with the addition of the new wing the situation is changed and the clin ic held there on Wednesday, May 26th, was one of the best run and well attended of the year. It was conducted by Dr. W. C. Mudgett of the hospital staff, dean of the Moore County Medical Asso ciation. Miss McQueen, the county maternity nurse, was in charge and was assisted by the volunteer com mittee; Mrs. A. P. Thompson, Mrs. McNeill, Mrs. Edwin McKeithen, Mrs. Talbot Johnson, with Mrs. Hugh Bet- terley as chair’man. Ten patients wei'e examined. Of these one was found to be in poor health with pos sible danger of complications. The nurse and the chairman r-eceived special directions regarding this pa tient which w'ill insure cai’eful follow- ing-up of her case and. it is earnest ly hoped, a successful outcome of the condition. Dr. Mudgett, in his remarks to the chairman at the end of the clinic, congratulated her on the manner in which the clinic was run and said: “If so much as one out of ten moth ers is found to be in such poor con- i dition and, through the clinics, is ^ helped to better health it is clear evi-1 dence of the great need of these din-1 ics in the county and the splendid work they are doing.’’ ' COMMUNITY ME.ALS Mrs. Sallie Brooks, extension nu-' tritionist of State College, will give j a lesson on “Community Meals” in i the office of the county home dem- i onstration agent at 10:30 a. m.

H. G, McELROY Manager and an excellent outfielder. Consid ering his youth, Thomas has a fas: ball that is the wonder of Coach Joe DeBerry, who used to be a fast ball pitcher himself and .Joe has worked out a plan to save Buss from the same fate that befell him when he went to the majors. He wants Buss to save his strength and not try to throw that fast ball for a full nine innings until he is a Kttle older-, so, with a few possible exceptions, most of Thomas' pitching will be done in relief roles. In the meantime ne will play the outfield where his hit ting ability can be utilized to a j greater extent. Howard Auman, pitcher The ace of the pitching corps on his per formance to date. Has a good fast ball, a sharp breaking curve, a fine change of pace and excellent control. Unu.sually strong for his age, he thrives on work and it doesn’t seem to weaken him. An unusually good hitter for a pitcher. Jimmie Wicker, short stop--A re cent addition to the ranks of the can didates. He’s young and not as ex perienced as some of the other boys but he has definite possibilities. Loves the game and should make himself a place in another year. William Bruton, outfielder—Anoth- r new candidate with future possi bilities.

It costs no more See your druggist today. Bruton will need more seasoning be fore he can break into the picture. Clyde Alexander, outfielder — Another youngster who needs to learn a little more befor-e he can break into this line-up. A left-hand ed hitter with a nice stance at the plate, he has prospects of developing j into a slugging outfielder. Time alone ; will tell. ! C. A. (Molly) Cox, pitcher—A re-j cent addition to the try-out roster who hasn't had much of a chance to show what he has. Advance reports indicate that he will fit into the pic- tur-e nicely. Bill McNeill. 1st ba.se--Another re cent addition to the field of candi- ■ dates and not much is known about, him. j Cieorge Vest, 1st base—Ditto. , Ralph Horner, outfielder — Has I I played two or three innings in relief roles and handles himself nicely but hasn't yet shown his ability at the plate. Donald Currie, outfield—A brand new candidate. Tell you more about him later. Meek Barnett, catcher—has worked out in practice with the team but hasn't shown his stuff in competition. Seems to know what the job is all about and whips the ball nicely around the infield in batting practice. More about Meek, too, later. And just before we went to press Dr. E. Levis Prizer, treasurer of the “Junebugs,” informed us that he had received approximately $550.00 into the treasury and had made disburse ments totaling in the neighborhood of $200.00. Of the $550.00, Southern Pines has contributed $395.00, Pine hurst $125.00 and Aberdeen $30.00. And there is a small additional sum as yet unreported. By practicing the strictest economy the "Junebugs” can go through the season with an additional $200.00 and the committee is making every effort to make thia additional sum avail able in order that the team may start the campaign secure in the knowledge that nothing of a financial nature will crop up to interfere with its sea son’s operation. / Groes kandL-'in^-hand with good tkings to eat Coca-Cola is pure, wholesome, ea» crgys>vtng refresliment... contain ing no artificial flavor or coloring. ■I Keen appetite and tasty food!
