A rather extensive schedule
has been arranged this year and
we are depending on the support
of the town. Wfr will one
or more games each week on the
local diamond and we intend .^to
give you sooie real high' sebdoK

After two wi^ek’s. of pracUce
the local diamond warriors will
go forth to 00 tattle in tbe timt
their opponents the 'Laurinburg
clulj whom they defeated twice
last year by the scores of 13 to
0 and 4 to 0. Reports have it
that Laurinburg has a much
stronger team this year, howev
er, and tomorrow's game will
doubtless l)ea battle royal.
The l)asebali manager with
the support of the Superintend
ent and student body has de
cided to put out, season tickets
this spring. These tickets will
admit the owner to all baseball
games nt, Raeford and the cost
will only be $3.00. fhe manager
has already scheduled nine games
on the local field and will proba
bly have more. Buying this sea
son ticket means a saving of at
least $1.50. We hope that ev
erybody will buy one of these
tickets, enjoy the games and be
sides do the base ball team a
good turn. You'll take one?
All right! Thank you!
The schedule as completed
far is:
March 16th, Laurinburg
^home.
March 21, at Laurinburg.
March 23, Red Springs
home.
March 27, at Red Springs.
March30, Greensboro at home.
March 31, Greensboro at home.
April 2, Pbiladelphus at home.
April 6, Elierbe at home.
April 10, Fletcner at home.
April 13, at Fletcher.
April 17, at Elierbe.
May at Pbiladelphus.
The locals will probably play
Fayetteville here on the 20th of
April. However this game is
not scheduled.

Cold winds will come from near

And join to make a winter’s

Ami e‘re we see fair Summer

We’ll have itome weather fair

Cold blasts across the land will

And ‘round the corners loudly

When we view Sommer’s gay

And the thermometer we see.
