With the weather taking a turn
to the damp side, it is not as yet
definite whether or not the July
4th (today's) athletic events will
be staged between Canton and Way
nesville as previously announced.
The ball diamond at the high school
is more than saturated with water
and unless there is a letup in the
showers and some miracle to dry
the ground it looks like the Soft
ball games are definitely off. As
this was being written yesterday
the rain continued to fall and the
athletes of this section went around
air day with a long faceare most
of them were looking forward to
the Fourth with enthusiasm.
The wet weather not only put
the Fourth activities out of com
mission but played havoc with the
regular schedule of play in the
Softball league. There were several
rained out games already on the
shelf that have not been played off,
and with several more that have
not been played for the same reason
the standings of the teams looks
rather ragged. One team especially
has had hard luck in this line. Esso
has had three games rained out
recently and have had no chanc
to make up the lost time.
The Asheville Tourists will
display their baseball nine under
a flood of high powered lights this
Friday for the first time in several
years for McCormick Field is graC
ed with electricity. It is expected
that additional seating will have to
be provided to take care of the fans
that are planning to attend Ashe
ville's night baseball games. This
will also give local fans a chance
to occasionally view a game or two
tinder the arcs after the day's work
is complete.
Several years ago, if our memory
is correct, Asheville had night base
ball, but for some reason discon
tinued the after night games. It
is believed that there were not
enough paid admissions to justi
fy the added expense of the high
powered bulbs. But now that the
Tourists have winning teams and
are making a name for themselves
and on top of that fans in this
section are getting used to sitting
out under the lights at night watch
ing Softball, baseball's first cousin,
the attendance at McCormick Field
will be increased over the day-time
crowd.
It is reported in higher circles
that boxing is on the down grade,
but from the attendance that was
reported at the two bouts this week
it looks like there is either some
mistake or that these particular
fighters had a lot of friends to
stay with them when , they went
from the top to the bottom.
t)own in Atlanta last Monday
night saw the Icing of pugilistics
start his climb up the ladder to a
comeback, Jack Dempsey entered
the ring against a wrestler, 'Cow
boy" Luttrell, and in two rounds
walked out leaving the Cowboy
stranded on the canvas. It is not
known how far Dempsey intends
to try to advance in his renewal
of the game that he made a name
for himself playing, but from all
indications he has not forgotten how
to use his fists, and before his
career is over great things are
expected to come from his come
back into fighting. It was also
proven that Jack's popularity has
not wained to any great extent by
the large crowd that whooped and
hollered at the ringside in Atlanta.
Another bout that drew close to
23,000 fans was the Galen to-Baer
fight last Tuesday at Jersey City,
N. J. Baer took the scrap in the
eighth round when Gal en to failed
to answer the bell in the eighth
round, the reason being Doctor's
orders. At the end of the seventh
round, a doctor entered the ring
and examined the cuts that Baer
. had inflicted on the face of the beer
drinker and pronounced him unfit
to carry on thereby giving Baer
a Technical Knockout, and the No,
1 challenger of the Brown Bomber
for the world championship.
It is predicted that Baer is none
too anxious to tackle Louis again
after a thorough licking the last
time he encountered the negro, but
anyway the defeat of Galento puts
him in the first string to challenge
for the title.
In the bout between Two Ton
Tony Galento, the rules of boxing
were not exactly carried out by
either fighter, and on one occasion
Galento took advantage of his head
is illegal and gave the round to
to "butt" Bear in the mouth which
Baer, who had it anyway on points.
Baer had the habit of hitting on
the break from a clinch, which
also is against the rules, so they
were both fighting out the grudge

time, and the fans attending seemed
to enjoy the pounding.
Maybe fighting is on the down
grade, but such fighters as "Two
Ton" Tony, Maxie Baer and Jack
Dempsey will continue to draw a
good gate on practically any oc
casion. The man that can win the hand
of a woman will soon find out that

On the Credit Side of
The advertising campaign of the North Carolina De
partment of Conservation and Development can be
credited with increasing substantially revenues of
the State and income of its citizens.
On the credit side, the campaign has meant more
tourists, more factories, more wages,' more gasoline
and sales tax revenues and more purchasing power
for the State as a whole.
Tourists are now spending more than $100,000,000
annually in North Carolina, nearly three times as
much as they spent prior to launching the Advertis
ing Program in 1937.

Boys Take Flag
From Plant Pole
Workmen this week are building
a cage around the base of the flag
pole at the Erkraft plant in Hazel
wood, in an effort to avoid a repe
tition of what happened Sunday,
when two boyg attempted to make
way with the large flag which flies
daily over the plant.
R. V. Erk, owner of the plant,
saw two boys playing near the
plant Sunday, and after mailing
some letters, passed the plant, only
to find the flag down and the boys
scampering down the road.
