PAT SAYS WILMINGTON SHOULD
HAVE MINOR LEAGUE RAIL.

HAVE mlNOh LEAGUE BALL
"The Axe" asked for opinions
concerning the establishment oi
minor league ball in Wilmington
and here's one from one OF oui
regular contributors:
Dear Battleaxe I've been
readin' lota dope. In 1.-THE
Axe" about the troubles OF ball
teams, and about having minor

clear "a yez that / know a little
about baseball. / cut me tooths on
er's mitt and begorra I wus fed on
balls and strikes. Moreover me back
tooths are filled with diamonds
mot wisdom).
Now put this in yer poipe and
shmoke IL. n Wilmington had a ralo
honest 10 goodness Minor League
team the influence II created would
help the smaller teams about town
in this way, every one would get
rale interested in baseball and In
case our big team wuz away, would
naturally go TO some small game.
Now about the big team II they
can support teams In the Blue
Ridge and Virginia Leagues In
towns the size OF Elsmere or
Brack-Ex, there is absolutely no
rale reason we cannot support a
team In the International League.
would suggest this as a first
sthep. organize a committee and see
all the big merchants and Chamber
OF Commerce. then get a rale good
manager. Here are a few good ones;
Country Morris. a Newark boy
who Is managing Waynesboro;
Harry lake. a Wilmington boy
manager OF Newport News; Otto
Wagner. from Harlans, manager
] Of Seneca Falls. and the most dear
to our hearts Is Bill MCGOWAN, a
half brother 10 Arrah Gowan.
Now some o. you birds that have
been knocking baseball In Whining

Ia bet that should Wilmington
have a big team Il would be COM

paid for a month in advance by organ
izations which wanted to help. Lodges,
clubs, fraternities and sororities took
part in this work. Names of needy
families supplied by the bureau in the
last few days have been constantly
balanced by names of individuals and
organizations who notified the bureau
of their desire to help.
Although efforts were made to have
as little of the actual giving as pos
sible done through the bureau, it being
the aim of the secretary that that or
ganiZation serve merely as a clearing
house to assure each family of special
attention, nevertheless, a number of
substantial contributions which had
been left there, were made up into
| packages which will be distributed
Saturday.
Vegetables, toys and candy were in,
cluded in these packages.

quent lack of gifts for less fortunate

open until s o'clock. The sale lasted
only an hour, the merchandise not
lasting even that long, so that for the

and drums available were completely
exhausted

The revolver il almost supervisors despite
its general uss- There are certain classes Of
citizens VINO must carry one. Police oBcss1,
for instance, must be armed for seh-pfUtec-
