Taking Lessons
There must be a few people in Roxboro who want to
play better golf. Fred Main, our golf “pro” has been giving
a few lessons. His pupils have shown fair progress and they
know that the lessons have helped.
Fred is very reasonable in his charges. One dollar per
hour is all, and he really gets across some information in that
hour. Then if you want him to prove that he knows what he
is talking about he will place one on the first green for you
in one shot.

Football Tickets Ready
Orders are now being taken by colleges and universities
for football tickets to games to be played next fall. Tickets
are generally offered to alumni first and next the general
public.
All of this is simply to remind you that Duke and Caro
lina are expected to play a swell game this year and that the
game will be played in Chapel Hill where seats are rather
scarce.

What’s Wrong, Jule?
This column has been wondering about Jule Warren’s
Five Forks baseball team. When the season started the boys
had new uniforms and were supposed to play good ball. We
have had no recent reports from this team and we want to
know what is wrong.
Jule also said that he had two good pitchers who were
supposed to have something on the ball. Where are they?
