Baseball experts say that if you
can pick the pannant winner for

that's something—the know-it-aH
guys admitting that they're up in
the air. However, they declare that
wdth all the holdouts in each league
It is hard to tel! which team will
up and grab the old honors. Heck,
it might be th’ Tigers, the Indians
on the Senators. Twouid be quite
a boost for the youthful Cronin if
they should happen to be the one —
sho’ would—remember that Bucky
Harris was only cutting his teeth
when he snatched one, dr are Ve
wrong? There is one vetrean off the
force out at Griffith Stadium, more
over—a player of eighteen years Of
service . . . Yes, Joe Judge ia now
with the Brooklyn Dodgers—wonder
what they dodge. But General A1
Crowder still twirls th’ apple for th’

* Grand Idea
Summer baseball for Shelby is a
grand and glorious idea, yep, yes,
yes sir. Furthermore, ’twould be
grand if other counties would do
likewise, then county teams could
play county teams, and of course,
our county would win! We’re glad
we thought of chat bout our coun
ty. But, getting back to the pros
pective team, we think it a profit
able prospect. Man)’ people can not
afford to take In their usual big
league games this summer. If there
was a peppy team in town they
wouldn’t miss their old sport—oh
no, no no. Besides the classy team
would be an attraction for out of
town fans, which Aould not do the
merchants any harm; therefore, the
plan should get their hearty and
loyal support. * And as for players
being willing to play for their bread
and butter, we know that they will
be glad to do so if show fare be
thrown in for good measure. Let’s
hope that, the plan works out o. k.

Lattimore and Mooresboro met In

shower turned into a downpour In

the Mooresboro misses wish to
thank the two young ladies for the
compliments passed on or about
their boys, also returning the same
with “serves you right!”

County Boys
A couple of Cleveland county 1
boys who are freshmen at Wake
Forest this year are inclined to car
ry’. or help, on the good record of
the county in the athletic world.
Webb Ellis, one of the scrappiest
catchers on any county team last
year, has been givtn a mitt at the
college, which he is swinging to like
nobody’s business. Several cuht have
been made, but Ellis was not one of
the unlucky ones. We believe he’ll
stick. Howard Rollins, the other, has
already convinced them that he can
use his legs, as he is now on the’
track team. Good luck, Howard andj
Webb, keep tt up foi your county.
Too, Wyan Washburn Is carrying on
for the county in Journalism. We
hope he gets the editor's chair of
the weekly. There are others, but
we are not acquainted with their
records at this time, except that
football ts the attraction of a eou-,
pie, and can they play It!

Lflly Cheater Silence* Shelby Bats

Of 10 Rons.
A Lenoir high school baseball
team built around a big southpaw)
and a husky third-sacker trampled,
the Shelby highs here yesterday 10;

‘'Lefty” Chester, husky portsider.)
Tad too much on the ball and then)
some for the young Morrismen and)
they could not turn their five hits!
into a single run. In the meantime j
the Lenoir team paced by the hit-;
ting of P. Oakley, big third base-j
man. banged out 10 hits which cou
pled with Shelby errors gave them
10 runs.
Bad Licking
It was one of the worst lickings a
Shelby baseball team has taken in
a long time but the rookies laced
one of the most exceptional high
school hurlers ever seen here and
behind him was a fair team with a
couple of real players, Oakley top
ping the list. The visiting portsid
er struck out around 15 Shelby hit
ters an^ on the offense P. Oakley
continuously drove the ball to the
high bank in left field for doubles,
triples or better. While that was
going on Shelby fielders were muff
ing a few—just nine errors—and
were failing to tag runners properly
or get their throws away with any
speed. •
Cook, catcher, hit safely three
times for Lenoir while P. Oakley
and J. Oakley cracked out two each.
Hyder with two hits was the only
Shelby batter to get more than a
single hit off Chester’s chunks.
Voung Cabaniss hurled the entire
game for Shelby, starting and fin
ishing his first contest. Despite the
score he looked good on the mound
and would have had a creditable day
with good support afield and at bat.
