Pairings ' for tournament play will be mailed out this week and all Kings Mountain coaches are being urged to begin picking all star players.

Several Leagues reported that in the even they won the dis trict tournament, they would stop there and let the runner-up team represent the district. Most of the reasons were financial. Mr. Layton- said he did not commit Kings Mountain either way but would like to know if, in the e vent Kings Mountain won the district tournament, the spon soring organizations would >be willing to accept the responsibil ity of entering state play. If a team advances beyond state play, the United States Rubber Company pays all expenses. Other Leagues entered in the 8th district are: A. L.
