A, “PETE” WILDER I went to Church not too long ago. Among the many persons 1 met were some who had been my btggest boosters during my long years of athletics. But one of the fine things about it was that quite a few of these fel lows have become stalwarts in the church. I can remember very vividly one person in ques tion. My second son came home one day from school. His face beaming; he told me that one, Rev. J. J. Reese knew me. I had no recollection of the name, even. At the same time, the organist of my church was Mrs. Reese. She told me that her hus band knew me and that he was to preach on Sunday night. I somehow agreed to come back to church. The Rev. J. J, Reese preached a very fine sermon. At the end of the service, I piet Rev. Reese. He asked me if I had ever b£en to Elizabeth Ci ty. The answer was 'yes’. He asked me to name some of the people I had met there. Natural ly talking to a minister, Ithought of teachers like Prof. William Alien, Athletic Director, Jim Williams, Pharmacist, Joe Jones, former president of E. C. U., Dr. H. L. Trigg. When asked about who else I knew, I had to confess that I was in Elizabeth City and played ball one Sunday afternoon. And I begin to recall the names. ‘‘Radio,’' “Salty” Williams, Ernimelle White, “Lefty'' Stewart, “Josh” Bouls, just to name a few. Then I remember ed a fellow who was catching for us. He was tall, a good re ceiver and had a terrific arm. I can still remember how he threw out everybody who start ed my way. The only name I could remember was “Jesse James.” Finally, Rev. Reese informed me that he was Jesse James. He is doing a very fine job for the AME Zion Church. The friendship started on a baseball field. Homecoming is to be observ ed at Watts Chapel Baptist. Church on the second Sunday in Sept., with Rev. James Z. Alex ander as the speaker. A special program has been arranged and a record attendance is expect ed.

It Immediately rang a tell!
