Calypso’s three runs in the first
came on doubles by Harris, and
singles by Swinson, Pate and Guy.
Triples by Davis and Godwin and
Guy's single accounted for the
two tallies in the fourth, and the
lone run in the fifth came on
Pate’s two-bagger and Guy’s tri
ple.
Pate allowed only four hits and
struck out nine Penderlea hitters.

Victory as
Byrd Slams
Mount Olive High school's base
ball team pulled another game out
of the fire with a late-inning rally
to nip Nahunta 10-9 here Tuesday
afternoon.
Trailing 8-6 going into the bottom
of the fifth, the Panthers took ad
vantage of Nahunta's wildness to
score four runs on two hits, back
to-back doubles by Morris Herring
and Robert Tillman, to go into the
lead, which they never relinquish
ed.
Nahunta jumped on Dave Gillis,
Mount Olive's starting pitcher, for
five runs in the first inning, and
sent him to the showers before
he could get two men out. Carson
Lane, who started the season as an
outfielder, came in to relieve and
kept the visitors under control to
gain credit for the win.
Lane, making his first mound ap
pearance, gave up two runs in
the second, and Nahunta forged
ahead 7-0. but in the Panthers’ half
five straight w'alks and a grand
slam homer by Billy Byrd, his sec
ond in as many games, gave Mount
Olive five runs.
The Panthers picked up another
run in the fourth on tw-o walks and
a single by Byrd, who led Mount
Olive at bat with three hits in five
During the six and two-thirds
innings he labored on the hill for
Mount Olive, Lane allowed five
hits and permitted Nahunta to
score in the second, and one run in
each of the fourth and sixth.

Athletic Group Acts
On Baseball Rumor
The Wayne- County Athletic As
sociation convened in Goldsboro
>ast Monday night and acted on re
ports that some baseball players
at Nahunta have been playing with
semi-pro teams.
Nahunta officials were instruct
ed to investigate the' report that
some players from that school had
participated in semi-pro games,
and if they did to bar such players
games in which they have partici
pation and to send a written report
to G. I. Carriker, president of the
association.
If the players are found to have
played on an organized team, other
than the high school club, they are
to be declared ineligible and all
games in whihe they have partici
pated subsequent to their becom
ing ineligible will automatically be
forfeited to the opposing team.
