Slaughter Hitting Better
Person county baseball fans are glad to notice that Enos
Slaughter is hitting the ball better. Enos fell into a little
slump for a few weeks, but he seems to be pulling out of it
in nice shape.
Everyone around here is pulling for Enos and we still
believe that he will end the season near the .300 mark.
Enos is a good natural hitter and so long as he is feeling
good he is bound to get quite a few hits. When he left this
county around March he was in good shape and he was fig
uring on good ball this year

Open Football
The word is going around that Duke will play a wide open
football game next fall and it is also being said that Duke
will have a real team.
George McAfee will not be in the backfield, but there
will be others who know something about carrying a ball and
the Duke eleven is preparing for a great year.
Carolina, on the other hand, is getting ready for a good
year and can be counted on to show the boys a few tricks.
Then, there’s no need to forget Wake Forest. The boys
from Wake have a few things in mind and can be counted on.

George Stirnweiss is playing good ball for Norfolk. In a
double header last Sunday he hit a home run, a triple, a dou
ble and two singles in seven times at the bat. He is being rat
ed as one of the best bets to come from N. C. Colleges this
year and it looks like all bets on him will be made good.
