Of real stars that can't work to-
gether in rhythm and harmony. As
fast as baseball is now the tenth
of second often means the diff
ference between out and safe,
and a woodworking infleld will
execute many more double kill
ings than one that doesn't func-
ton properly.
MISSING ON LOCAL
SPORTING AFFAIRS
East Flat Rock plans to do
things in big way in baseball
this year. The 1885 county league
champs will no doubt have a
strong team with Curt Hill, for
mer star catcher back, and such
players as J. Jackson, B. Capps,
V. Drake, E. Gibbs, R. Hendrix,
! d. eagle, F.. Phillips and Others
brought over from last year. 1t
is not known whether they will
be back in the county league or
will try to get into higher class
baseball. Some of the BOYS are
talking of trying out with the
Asheville Tourists, but it is hoped
that the town or mill will put a
team in the county league.
The Edneyville high school
boys basketball team appears to
be entirely too good for the rest
, of the high school teams in the
county.
The Flat Rock and Mills River
cage teams play at the Flat Rock
gym Friday night. Both the boys
and girls games should be close
and hard fought.
They say spring is just around
the corner. Must be the same COR
ner that the New Deal prosperity
is lurking behind.
ARCHIBALD GOES
POLITICAL THIS TIME
Saw Romantic Archibald up on
the Main Drag the other day. He
was as political as Bob Reynolds
riding into Hendersonville on the
back of a Ford. '1've got it all
! figured out Elcarvazyusto," he
said.
yeah" says |, "you've got
what all figured out? How to get
a picture of that basketball girl?'
"No. Why the New Deal is gon-
ma fail" he smiles.
"Uhhuh," | grunts. "And why
is the New Deal gonna fail?"
"lt'S the dictionary that's gon-
ia ruin the New Dealers" he eX-
plains.
why" retorts I, 'the diction-
airy can't hurt anyone. It's a very
useful book-to some.'
"It's as dangerous as cooked
gum" asserts Archibald. 81 killed
off my best girl with it once"
"You threw the dictionary at
her and killed herr" exclaims.
mo, not all of it at once" he
explained. ats like this. Your
best girl and a big politicians
followers or public are a whole
lot alike"
"Yeh. Both dumb and blind"
supplies l. .
"Well, not plumb dumb nor
plumb blind" says he, "but al
most and awfully particular"
Fright" | agrees. "Now go on;
How did you kill your best girl
with the dictionary? And why
didn't they hang you for it,"
81 didn't kill her in that sense"
says he. 81 killed her interest in
me and lost her. You see, wrote
to her every day. Soon / ran out
of things to say to her and names
to call her and i had to go to
the dictionary for aid" :,
"Uhuh," | sees light. And
that's the way YOU threw the die
tionary at her."
"Yeah. just like the New Deal
ers are throwing it at the pubic;
three letters at time. | found
lot of things in it to say to
her and call her. Such as dulclnea
for sweetheart. beaux yeux for
pretty eyes, billet doux for love
letter, chere for dear, belle for
beautiful, petit for small, and so
on" >, uc,
"Mostly French" l said. "She
must have had good education
