Friendship Boys Win First Game Over Hosiery Mill Friendship Chapel, 1947 cham pions, opened the softball season Monday night by turning back a hard fighting Hosiery Mill nine, 18 to 15, in an extra inning under ti e lights at the grammar school field. The Methodists, behind the ■even hit pitching of Dempsey Whitaker, took the final game of the evening from Ridgecrest, 11 to 6. » In the Chapel-Mill encounter both teams scored early and often hut when the defending chompions pushed over three runs in the first of the seventh to take a 14 to 10 lead it looked as if all was over but the yodeling. A four run spurt tied it up and forced play into an extra frame. Bill Fortune, holding down the hot corner for Friendship Chapel, paced the winners with four hits. Hunter collected three for the Hosiery Mil!. Stephenson and Stevens were both hit hard but two I ooming home runs by Hos char aided the Chapel’s cause. Hensley, B. Osteen, and Stevens hit four sackers for the Mill. ' o; satisfied to hurl seven hit hall, Dempsey Whitaker led the Methodists with a hone run and single out of two official trips to t e platter. Doyle Turner hit one of the longest homers seen on the local field when h? pounded one out of sight into center. The ball rolled over the embankment. Free id Nordhielm also hit for the circuit. Wildness proved McEl laths undoing. Friendship Chapel AB R H Russell, Joe, '2b 5 13 Stephenson, p 6 12 Hoschar, If c 6 2 2 Myers, s.s. 5 12 R. Russell, c 4 0 0 B.

J SERVICE & PROMPT DELIVERY ||| SECTION II Merchants Divide League Starts The Merchants lost a free slugging contest to the Enka team here Saturday afternoon, then reversed their form to ham mer out a 19 to 9 victory over Barnardsville here Sunday. Against Enka both sides had their batting eye in good form and made life miserable for a flock of pitchers. Coach Carl Myers used four hurlers in an effort to halt the visitors without success. On Sunday Carpenter hurled seven hit ball as he held the hard hitting Barnardsville crew in check all afternoon. Don Riddle, manager of the visitors, used three tossers during the game. Beacon II lost county starts to Venable and Fail-view. Saturday afternoon Beacon took a 2-0 ad vantage over Fairview in the first inning but the home team rallied to win, 15-2.
