The work Of the school and civic
leagues is then detailed in the bulletin,
which further says:
The civic training afforded by the
leagues comes largely. however.
through activity in behalf of better
community conditions. One league last
year raised $4,000 for the Improvement
OF the roads leading to the school, and
in n one-room school. started move
ment for AN automobile road over 100
miles In length.
'rhe Improvement OF the school it
self is, Of course, one Of the chief In
tcrcsts OF the leagues. In 1928 they
expended for libraries, pictures, pianos,
window shades and other improves
ments.
:In a sparsely- settled section of
Charles City County, which until II
year ago had no school facilities, a
ing was rented and furnished with Il
few chairs and n table, and the school
trustees were requested to supply u
teacher. Interest increased and finally
Il model one-room school building was
erected. partly by public funds and
partly by money raised by the league.
Many high schools in Virginia have
been built in just this way

being erected next to the First

the erection of at least three and
possibly four new store buildings

and Mrs. 4. jenkins. This prop
erty will soon consist Of one
continuous line of stores.
In Rosemary the work on the
three store, two story, brick

Roanoke Rapids VS. Roanoke Mills

A hard fought, exciting game
of baseball through to the ninth
frame. Very little hitting was
the order of the day, three hits
being gotten by each side. Both
Scott and Hughes pitched a re-
markably good game. The
three hits gotten off Scott were
punched and occurred in the third
frame after he had famed two
men. During the nine innings
Scott famed sixteen men.
Hughes pitching was excellent
While he famed only three men,
he held the hits down to one
clean single and two scratch hits.
Roanoke Mills played much
better game in the field than did
Roanoke Rapids, making only
two errors against six on the
part of Roanoke Rapids.
In the first frame Roanoke
Rapids went down in one, two,
three order. Roanoke Mills
landed two runs -Johnson's and
Scott's. Hales and Barnes flew
out to short and center. johnson
got one through Smith at first
and made it safe. Scott took
first on Hilliard's 5 costly tumble at
second and Johnson pranced a.
long to third, and scored on
another error of billiards. Bar
ber singled and Scott scored.
The side went down when Barr
flew out to Hilliard at second.
The second frame was nothing,
nothing. In the third Roanoke
Rapids put three men across.
H. Cherry and Mizelle famed.

the horsehide for two bases and
Hilliard scored. Smith at bal

Unquestionably a bad day for
Rosemary fans ns;Rosemary playing
poorer ball than that team has
ever played on the League
Grounds before.
The features of the game were
Snotherly's pitching and the bat
ting of the Patterson Mills ag-
gregation who pounded Welsh
numerically all through the
frames but did the greatest dam
age in the seventh. Three hits
were gotten off Snotherly to nine
off Welsh in seven innings and
one off Gilliland in one inning.
The Rosemary team started off
in good form, shutting the Pat
terson Mills crowd out for the
first three innings and getting a
couple of runs in the second on
Gilliland's two base hit and three
errors (Snotherly, Edwards and
Teague.) With the beginning of
the fourth inning the Patterson
Mills started to pounding the pill,
getting two hits in the fourth,
two in the fifth and four in the
seventh. At the beginning of
