jf Calypso might not do all right

' With C. D. and Donald Pate

wins this season, and finished out
Its competition yesterday at Fai

it press time, but only over-con
fidence could stop the Calypso
team now.

semi-pro baseball team this sum
mer, local fans may be treking
fo Wallace to watch that fast out
fit in action. Wallace defeated
Camp Lejeune this week with Luby

lor the win. Luby, who is signed
to hurl this season for Wallace,
pitched the first five innings.

Panthers Bow
To Calypso in
Tuesday Tilt
Calypso staged a nine-run up
rising in the first inning and then
coasted to a 10-1 victory over
Mount Olive in a high school base
ball game played at Calypso Tues
day afternoon. >,
Mount Olive escaped a shut-out
and also spoiled Calypso’s bid for
a no-hitter in the second when
Carl Ginn and Billy Byrd rapped
out singles. They Were the only
hits given up by C. D. Pate and
Jiggs Harris, who shared the pitch
ing assignment for Calypso.
Calypso bunched six hits and
took advantage of Mount Olive’s
wildness to score in the first and
finished its scoring by plating one
run on two hits in the second in
ning.
Dave Gillis started on the mound
for Mount Olive, but was relieved
in the second by Charles Johnson,
who gave up two hits and no runs
in hurling the remainder of the
game for the Panthers. Gillis was
charged with the loss.
Frank Precythe, first batter fac
ing Gillis in the first, singled, Har
ris doubled, and Gerald Gahris was
safe on an error. Hilbert Swinson
and Billy Godwin walked, Stanley
Byrd and L. S. Guy singled, Pate
was hit by a pitched ball, Precythe
came through with his second hit
of the inning, and Harris dupli
cated his earlier feat and hit his
second two-bagger of the inning
to account for Calypso’s nine runs.
Doris opened the second inning
for Calypso by doubling and God
win walked. At this point, Johnson
came in to pitch for Mount Olive,
and Stanley Byrd greeted him with
a single to score Doris, but the
Mount Olive lefty settled down
and retired the side,
In the late innings, Coach Ben
nie Albritton replaced a number
of his regulars with substitutes and
shifted Harris, a junior, to the
mound. v
Mount Olive sent seven batters
to the plate in the second frame.
After Ginn and Byrd had singled,
Jimmy Overton drew a walk, load
ing the bases. Rex Whitfield then
rapped a grounder to third and
Ginn scored when the Calypso third
baseman fumbled the ball.
Leading the Calypso batting at
tack were Precythe, who hit safely
three times, and Harris and Byrd
who got two apiece.

from one side of the sun to the

a star hr the true meaning of the

thing about is the sun, which I may
tell you something about in the
near future.
Venus is the nearest planet to
earth and it is the third brightest
object in the sky, in this order:
sun, moon, then Venus. It is almost
as large as this earth, 7,800 miles
in diameter. It's distance from the
sun is about 67 million miles. Our
average is about 93 million miles
from the sun. So you can readily
see Ventur is bound to be lots
warmer than we are.
A year on Venus is 225 of our
days. However, a day on Veuus
may be as much as one of our
months. We have never found any
oxygen on it, therefore, it is doubt
ful it has life as we know it here on
earth. It is covered with a thick
layer of clouds. Through a tele

I wish I could,think there is life

its face slowly to the sun and iCi
