Those hard-to-handle Cardinals
smashed their way into undisputed
possession of first place in the local
Softball loop Wednesday afternoon
by trouncing the Braves 18-8 in the
first game of the twin bill, while the
Martins were losing in the night
cap.
The Cards used 14 hits and a num
ber of Brave errors to run up the
biggest score of the season and to
win the most lop-sided game of the
campaign.
After four innings of play the
teams were deadlocked 6-all, but in
the first of the fifth the Cards scored
six times on four hits and four er
rors, as they sent 11 men to bat.
They batted around again in the sev
enth for another half dozen runs on
three hits, four more errors and an
infield out. The Braves tallied once
each in the sixth and seventh for
their final runs.
While the Braves were falling
apart at the seams, defensively, they
pounded out 13 hits or only one less
than the winners. Their hits were
fairly evenly divided among several
players, with Julian Harrell, prov
ing that life must begin at 40, get
ting the biggest share. Harrell hit 3
singles in four times at bat, to in
crease his hold on the league bat
ting title. Bill Spivey had a triple
and single for three trips and so did
Ham Price. Joe Griffin hit .500 with
one for two. Saunders hit a home
run.
For the winners, the top man in
me dox score, also the top man bat
ting, was Roger Critcher, who had
a walk and three hits in five times
at bat for .750. James Manning, play
ing in his first game, hit two for
three, and his successor in right field,
Paul Bailey, hit safely once in two
trips

Jack Manning Hurls Nine-llil
Ball For Near Shutout;
Roberson Hits Hard
?
In the nightcap of Wednesday-!
doubleheader, the potent Dodgers
won their first game of the season
by almost blanking the Martins, tak
ing a 6-1 win over Harcom's aggre
gation Jack Manning, on the mound
for his team, pitched well and scat
tered nine hits effectively enough to
come within one run of a shutout.
The Dodgers were off to a fast
start, scoring more than enough runs
in the first to win, as Wobbleton, the
first man up, drove out a terrific
home run, and two more tallies
counted on a base on balls, a stolen
base, a single, another stolen base
and an error.
The winners counted once in the
second, once in the sixth and once
in the seventh to account for their
six runs, as they could not make the
most of their 14 hits. The Martins
escaped a shutout by scoring one in
the sixth on Grimes' second single of
the game, a single by Gene Kimball
and Deacon Dillon Cobb's third safe
ty
T^he factor of age was very evident
in this game, as the "doodle" Dodg
ers proved that youth cannot be
denied, by the spirited manner in
which they hustled in contrast to
the somewhat lackadasical way in
which some of the losers performed.
Pacing the winners at bat was Toots
Roberson with three for four. He was
followed by Willie Lassiter, Jack
Manning and Dinky Cherry, with
two for three each. H. Wynne had
one for two.
Cobb had a perfect day at the plat
ter for the losers, getting three for
three, as did Co-captain Grimes, with
two for two.

Improving Diets
Vitamin-enriched bread and -flour t!

is proving a boon to the nation's
health, Prof. G. Howard Satterfield,
State College nutrition specialist, de
clared recently.
"In the past 100 years many
rhanges have taken placc~in-the eat
ing habits of the American people,"
commented Prof. Satterfield. "Of
considerable importance nutrition
ally is the decrease in the consump
tion of whole grain products and a
very marked increase in the use of
sugar.
"Both of these have contributed
materially to the low state of health
and well-being due to an insufficien
cy of Vitamin B-l, the anti-pellagric
(niacin) and that blood-building
mineral, iron."
Porf. Satterfield pointed out that
through the cooperation of leading
nutritional and medical authorities
with the milling and baking indus
tries, enriched bread and flour con
taining these nutrients have been
made available.
"This is an unselfish and philan
thropic act on the part of two great
food industries, since no profit is be
ing charged on the enriching pro
cess," Prof. Satterfield said.
He explained that Vitamin B 1
stimulates the appetite and promotes
growth in children and aids diges
tion and utilization of food. This vi
tamin is essential for the proper
functioning of the nerves and is es
pecially important to pregnant and
nursing women.
"Without the inclusion of liberal
quantities of whole grain products
in the diet, it is exceedingly difficult
i to obtain a sufficient amount of Vi
tamin B-l, since common articles of
I diet contain very little. Enriched
bread and flour contain liberal quan
tities," Prof. Satterfield said,
j Niacin, also added to enriched
I day morning for treatment. Miss
Mary has been a great sufferer; and
her many friends wish her a speedy
recovery. She was accompanied by
