The baseball team closed a
successful season by overcoming
a three run lead and defeating
the Fayetteville aggregation last
Tuesday by a 6 to 6 score. In
the ninth frame Fayetteville
had a lead of 6-2 but at this
stage of the game Raeford ral
lied, R. Ooviugton, second man
up doubled to left and started
a ^ectacular batting ralley in
which Raeford tied the score.
The game went on into extra
innings until in tne eleventh A.
McLean single through the in
field broke the battle up.
The locals played listless ball
in the first eight innings and
never seemed to even be interest
ed until the ninth.- Fayetteville
took an early lead, and played
good ball until Paschal, their
moundsman, took a ’’balloon as
cension” in what would have
been the final period.
The fielding feature of the
game was contributed by ’’BiH”

snhtched a sure double,^rom the

after a long run? McCain plav

Take the risk out of farming
and start yourself up hill. The
risks that beset the farmer are
what have kept him down. War
was not bad when all the risk
was taken out. It was what
Sherman called it when all the
risk was in it.
Farming ie the same way. It
is what Sherman called war
when you have to take a chance

prices.

that ruined crop anyway, for it’s
insured against that damage.”
