AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC Cherryville, N. C. July 28, 1943 Dear Friends and Patrons: The Cherryville Juniors were eliminated by Shelby last week in the series for the championship of Western North Carolina. We had four good ball games, win ning one and losing three. We congratulate the winners. Shelby has a hustling team, seasoned, well coached, and sparked with an excellent pitching statf. We wish them further success. Itay Greenes’ illness during the series was a handicap to our team, his pitching could have helped our chances for victory, llis comrades missed him and were anxious for his recovery. We went farther in the state race this year than ever before. You have watched the enthusiasm and keen interest our supporters held during the championship se ries. We are proud that our team received and merited the support from our friends and patrons in this tine community. Considerable etfort had to be made in recruiting and training j a team of championship caliber. Jack Kiser has demonstrated a; line job of coaching. The conduct j of his team on the field of play was in keeping with his code of sportsmanship. They were a fine group of boys, well mannered, hard, clean play ers and good losers. The boys hav'e made many friends among their supporters, as well as on the opposing teams. The mana gers of the other teams spoke well of them and commended their fine conduct. Some of this year’s team will pass over junior age and will not be back next year. We wish to thank them publicly for the con tribution they made to the suc cessful season, and to wish them good fortune in all future days. We are proud of the fact that some of the team will be eligible next year. We can plan and build next year’s team around these veterans. Largely they have enjoyed two seasons ox ju nior baseball, we will await next year in fond hopes of a better team with the return of Captain Charlie Gabriel, John Weaver, and Clyde Lutz, outfielders, Ben Tillman, and Howard Henkle, in fielders, Ray Greene and Hoke Coon, pitchers. We acknowledge our indebt edness to Carlton Yarn Mills, our co-sponsored and to our many friends who have made this sea son a successful one. Our friends of the Eagle, Gas tonia Gazette, Shelby Daily Star and Charlotte Observer were generous in publicizing Junior baseball. Their news items and “write-up” of the games kept our patrons well infodmed and the "ball rolling”. We solicited their support and now we are equally anxious to praise their efforts. Until the umpires call “Play hall” in '44 keep pulling for the “Cherries.” Yours truly, D. HUNTER RUDISILL, Baseball managed.

Surgical Dressing Room Lagging The local Red Cross has not completed its July quota of Sur gical Dressings. More volunteer workers art needed at the work tables in the surgical dressing room, if Cherryvi'le is to roll the number of bandages assigned to her each month. Is the Red Cross asking too much of each woman in Cherryville to give an hour or two each. week to this most im portant cause? President Roose velt says there can be no line drawn between the home front and the fighting front it is one complete whole., Ev'ery Ameri can, whoever he is and wherever he is, should be doing his utmost for one purpose, and that is com plete victory for the allied na tions.
