Going into the contest with the odds against them owing to White vilie’s pitching superiority, the plucky ’Cats converted walks, er rors, passed balls, and just fopr hits into their 13 tallies, yeads-up baserunning such as that exhibited by Chapel Hill second sacker “Rat” Lloyd who pilfered 5 bases of his own, kept the Hillians in the scor ing race with the hard-hitting Whiteville aggregation. Whiteville’s pitchers, Williams and Edmonds, had plenty of stuff on the ball as they whiffed 17 hit ters from the Hill, while giving up but four safeties. “Bemie” Lloyd, Coach Stanbach’s mound main stay, toiled the route for the Wild cats, striking put three and walk ing six but allowing 10 base blows. The toughest test on fans’ blobd pressure appeared in the closing stanza of the tnree-hour-and forty - five - minute game. With Chapel Hill" leading just 13-12, Whiteville threatened to score with men on first and third base and one out. Whiteville’s coach, told the next batter to bunt in a try for a "squeeze play.” The man bunted all right, but it wasn’t too good, for Lloyd came charging down off the mound to catch the ball in the air and whip it to third, catching the man off the base for the final out. ' ^ Pitcher Lloyd was seized by his teammates, hoisted onto willing shoulders, and it was all over ex cept for the shouting. y..._ (See box score, page 4) , Important Meet "rtiere will be a meeting in the ^courthouse Saturday, afternoon •t 3 o’clock to discuse the or ganization of a branch chapter of the N.

The Gutenberg press used in the pic ture is an exact replica of the original in Mainz, Germany, and was loaned by the Cuneo Press ot Chicago.

But this Was the frame in which San ford really thowed their stuff in a hit-and-run parade, pushing 7 runs across the platter on 5. hits to sew up the eastern title. Harrington,' ace fireballer ol Sanford, whiffed 8 Chapel Hillians, walked but one, and scattered 10 base hits to choke off ;the Wild cat offensive. Slugging honors of the* day went to Isenhour, Sanford’s catcher, who smacked out no less than four doubles in five trips up. R. Lloyd of Chapel Hill had a good aver age at the box as he collected three hits in four chances, being fol lowed by brother E. Lloyd, who got two base knocks (ohe of them a double) in four times at bat.

These figures show a gain of only $25,068.75 toward the coun ty’s $458,000 E Bond goal and - of $70,908.75 toward the overall quota of $574,000. Chairman Saunders warned that the drive is more than half over and that-the E quota is less than half achieve^ leaving, as he said, “less time to buy more bonds.” Last week’s slump, he suggest ed, may have been due to an end of-the-month shortage of money or to a feeling of complacency now that the war in Europe is ended.
