Sanford, May 23.—The ever
plugging Chapel Hill Wildcats won
the Eastern semi-finals high school
baseball game with Whiteville,
13-12, in a wild and wicked free
scoring affair which saw the two
teams swing into action at 8:30
Wednesday night and end it up
at 12:15 this morning.
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..._

Layman Movie
Next Sunday
The Hillsboro Board of Laymen
is sponsoring the showing of the
new sound film, “The Book for the
World of Tomorrow.” Produced by
the American Bible Society, it will
be shown at the Episcopal church
Sunday afternoon, June 3, at 4
p.m. ' '
The film illustrates the impor
tant place of the Bible in our land
and in many others and how
through the devoted labors of many
men it came to be the Book for
the world of yesterday; how its
rapid passage into the tongues of
nine-tenths of mankind and its
world-wide distribution have made
it the Book for the world of to
day; and how we whose heritage
it is are challenged to make the
Bible the Book for the world of
tomorrow. -S
Among the interesting sequences
are the first printing from mov
able metal type in Europe by
Gutenberg how a translation into
a foreign tongue is actually made;
and the story of the Vulgate trans
lation by St. Jerome, still an out
standing work of scholarship. 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.
The picture, “The Bible in a
Warring World,’.’ will also be shown
at this same time.
Chapel Hill Loses.
Eastern Title Game
By “Mike" Michael, USMCR
Sanford, May 29.—Chapel Hill’s
title-bent Wildcats finally met
their rrtdtch last night as they went
down before a power-laden San
ford nine 12-2 in the fight for the
eastern class “B” championship of
the stater——1.-———
It was a good, close race traat
the Hillians were giving the San
fordians up until the eighth in
ning, the latter being ahead 5-2.
“Bernie’1 Loyd had pitched a good
game for the ’Cats in holding the
vaunted heavy hitters of the San
ford club down pretty well. 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.
But for an Office of Defense
Transportation decree forbidding
the trip, Sanford would now tackle
the winner of the western Caro
lina title for the state^ champion
ship. "

Bond Sale
Slumped
In County
By Mary Hill Gaston
Chapel Hill, May 30. — Bond
sales in the Orange county sev
enth war loan drive fagged con
siderably last week, according to
a report from J. Maryon Saun
ders, county chairman of the
drive. Up through Friday, May 25,
E Bond sales amounted to $218,
193.75 and overall sales, including
all types of bonds, reached $364,
735.75.
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.
Not only in Orange^ county, but
all over the state and nation, did—
the drive slow up last week. It is
expected, however, that sales will
pick up the first of June.
Highlight of next week’s bond
program in Chapel Hill will be a
free movie day at the Carolina
theater Wednesday, June 6, when
anyone in the county buying a
bond that day will be admitted
free to “She Knew Her Apples,”
starring Ann Miller. _ ._
