It was a grand opening out at Roxboro’s new golf course
last weekend, There were no elaborate ceremonies to mark
the event, no caddies of long experience to handle the clubs
and find out-of-bounds balls, the grass grews long on two of
the greens, but the inauguration of play on our home cour
se was a grand event just the same to those of us who for
years have longed for a course of “our own. Admittedly the
course was not in the best of condition nor was such expected
but not a whisper of grumbling could be heard by those who
are used to the best of golfing facilities. Roxboro’s best golf
ers thronged the new course Saturday and Sunday with the
eagerness and pleasure of a child with a new toy. And we
have a feeling that the plaything is one that will hold their
pleasure for many, many years to come. Orchids to country
club officials and every other person who has. been in any
way responsible for the new Roxboro golf course, destined to
become one of the towns biggest assets.

Football drills at Person County high schools will proba
bly get underway in ernest with the beginning of next week.
Practice calls no doubt will be issued before school ends this
week and Monday should find that extra fat virtually drip
ping from thejperspiring candidates. Bethel Hill and Roxboro
are both expected to have their usually fine outfits, the for
mer under Coach W. T. Gibson, veteran of several years,
the latter under George Wirtz, former Wake Forest captain
and quarterback, who will be coaching in his first year.
Complete schedules will be announced through these col
umns as soon as they are ready for release. Whether Allens
ville and Helena will sponsor football teams this year has
not been formally announced although they are considered
extremely doubtful. Both of these schools have made im
portant advances in their athletic programs in the last few
years and we wouldn’t be surprised to see football teams at
both of these schools within the next year or two.

Cincinnati’s surprising Reds continue to hold tenacious
ly to that four-or-five game lead over St. Louis’s fighting
Redbirds. The Cards since their sensational winning streak,
19 wins in 21 games, several weeks ago have been able to
hold their own but as for registering anything like a sub
stantial gain over the Reds, they jjust haven’t had what it
takes. Observers and so-called baseball experts, of which
this writer does not claim even a passing acquaintance, point
•eri to the Labor Day series between the two teams as the
crucial one in the final drive toward the pennant. If St. Louis
could have swept this series, they would have been given a
strong boost toard the leadership. However, with the second
game of the holiday doubleheader tied and losing the playoff
game the following day left the Birds a full five games be
hind and Cincinnati with renewed hope and confidence
stronger than ever before. It will take exceptional baseball
to pull the Cards up to the league leaders at this point in the
race, that exceptional baseball meaning a horrible slump for
the Reds, another sensational winning streak for the Cards.
Right now it looks like our boy Enos and his mates will have
to be content with second place, which in itself means a siz
abie piece of cash for all hands concerned.

Clayton’s Store
Chub Lake Game
Ends In Uproar
Clayton’s Store was awarded a
9-6 game over their old rivals,
Chub Lake, Saturday afternoon
when their scheduled game ended
in protest over an umpire’s de
cision.
The game was finally stopped
in the first half of the eighth inn
ing when Chub Lake players and
spectators swarmed over the field
after a thrown ball had been
blocked by O. Clayton who was
trying to score from third base.
When umpires were unable to
control the situation, the game
was called in favor of Clayton’s
Store. Chub Lake had also refus
ed to continue the game after a
heated argument which ensued
before the umpires could rule on
the play.
Heated rivalry has existed be
tween the two teams for some
time. Manager Jule Warren of
the Clayton’s team termed the
game one of the most exciting
this year.
J. Carr’s four hits in four trips
to the plate took hitting honors
for the day.

New Mentor Has 11 Vet
erans As Nucleus For New
Rambler Edition.
Heavy workouts are the order
of the day for Roxboro High’s
Rambler hopefuls, as Coach Geor
ge Wirtz ordered the first scrim
mage of the pre-season training
period for this afternoon.
Approximately 30 candidates
were on hand for yesterday’s
drills and indications point to a
line averaging around 175 pounds
with the backfield of about 160
pounds.
Light workouts and plenty of
calisthenics have been the menu
since Monday when uniforms
were issued by Coach Wirtz. The
squad appears to be rapidly
rounding into shape although
much of the material appears to
be on the green order.
Coach Wirtz, in his first year
of high school coaching, has a
nucleus of 11 veterans around
which to build his 1939 Ramblers.
Led by co-captain Hassell Whit
field, powerful tackle, and Wal
lace Moore, center and kicker,
the holdovers from last year’s
stellar outfit include, Charles
White, Junior Cushwa, Louis
“Red” Day and Henry Newell,
backs; Lawrence Holeman and
Buddy Clayton, ends; Fred Woods
and Herbert Allen and Lindsey
Wagstaff, tackles and Sam Um
stead, guard.
The first casualty of the early
drills occurred yesterday when
Malcolm Guill, promising reserve,
fainted during the heavy drills.
