Charles Davis, Jr. Winner Of Radio Charles Davis, brother of Clyde Davis, local used car dealer, was the winner of the radio-record player combination set which was given away as first prize at the Jaycce sponsored street dance held here last Friday night. A large crowd attended the dance which was the first of the ^rrent season and plans are now^being made for more dances in the fu ture, the Jaycees said. Thad Law ing and his band furnished the music for the dance. The Boys Club nine breezed to a decisive 13-3 win over the Stan ley nine in the practice game last Friday with Luther Hall and Ted Harris carrying the pitching load. Mount Holly got 13 hits while the local twirlers allowed Stanley 5. Meeting the Gastonia Red Shield Club yesterday for the first game on the regular schedule this sea son, the Boys Club edged the Gas tonia nine 8-6, coming in strongly to win after Gastonia carried a 4-1 lead over the locals in the fifth inning. Major Loftin drove in a home run with the bases loaded to change the score and William Gobel slammed out two doubles to stand next high in the batting. Harold Slroupe Is Named On Commiifee Past Commander Harold F. Stroupe of the Mount Holly post of the American Legion has l^n named a member of the Time and Place Committ »e to serve at the Department Convention to be held in Charlotte June 25-27, the post was notified this week. Past Commander Stroupe was notifi ed of the appointment by Wiley M. Pickens, Executive Vice-Com mander of the North Carolina De partment of the American Le gion. Stroupe will meet with oth er members of the state commit tee at the Charlotte convention lo discuss committee activities. another two game series with the Firemen, who are standing high in the Gaston Textile League. The Mount Holly men are confident of another win over the Firemen, having dropped them in the ma jority of meets before. The Fire- , men have improved in strength Camp of Kings Mountain recently, but not enough to cause' announced plans ( the locals any worry. the 1950 camp session. The I »!■ Mount Holly has been doing 1f OCOUtS lO Attend Camp Long doing the pitching for the ^ Superior Yarn Mills will play host to the Cramerton Eagles at Superior Park next Tuesday night in the first home game following this edition of The News. Last night the locals played host to the Belmont Combers here and tomorrow night (Saturday) the Superiors will, travel to Davis Park in Belmont to repay the courtesy. The Combers have in creased their hitting power re cently P.nd Superior will be on their -s to avoid dropping an other gSme to Belmont. The only win taken by the Combers in the series of games between the two teams this season was a complete surprise to most fans and Super ior is vowing that it won’t hap pen again. A new pitcher will take to the mound for Superior late this week when BiU Barkley, former Rex star and a Lenoir-Rhyne player this spring, becomes elegi- ble for the Piedmont Textile Lea gue. Superior has been concen- vriting on filling in any weak spots since thei-/irftt >feat ‘arly in the season anr is siill shooting for top place in the league. Bark ley was among the probable start ing line-up on the Superior roster last night in the first Belmont clash. Cramerton will probably go down b._fore Superior’s powerful squad in the Tuesday game here, fans predict, since the Eagles fell before Belmont this week and Superior has shown far greater power than Belmont. The Eagles, however, are strictly unpredict able and fans had better not be too definite in their predictions. One of the most decisive step* in the future construction of the Jaycee Communit y Building* which has been the dream ' of local Jaycees for a number of years, was taken recently with the letting of specifications and plans to contractors who will bid on the construction, it was learn ed this week. Seven contractors have received plans and specifi cations from the Jaycees and are expected to submit bids, Jaycee president J. C. Rh3rne announced week. The ctmtractors are ex- pMt^ to turn in their estimates within the next two or three weeks, and Jaycees are riishing ' final plans for financing the erection of the building which will serve the community of Mount Holly. A community building has been . one of the outstanding goals which Jaycees here set fw them selves several years ago and nearly every project sponsored by the Jaycees since the first plans were made has been aimed to ward helping to increase the com^» munity building fund. Several years ago the Jaycees first began their community building fund with deposits in a buildhig and loan company and only recently, a large •. of m. ibers of the organi^tion bought' slures of s^kin the building, proving their TOlief in both the organiza tion s idea and the building pro ject itself. ^ The citizens of Mount Holly have become almost as enthusias tic about the community building as the Jaycees themselves are, and a number of substantial do nations from both individuals and businesses havfe been receiv ed by the Jaycees . in recent months.
