Pooling OF Lambs
To Take Place In
Ashe Next Friday

Sheep growers in Ashe, as well
as in Allegheny and Watauga coun-
ties, will pool their lambs next Fri
day, July l.
Letters were sent out a few days
ago to the SO farmers in the coun-
ty who pooled last year for the first
time by County Agent Rich, request
ing that they notify the Office at
once as to how many lambs they
will pool
A truck will be sent around on
July to pick up lambs for the pool
ing and Mr.. Rich is asking all farm
ers to cooperate in this undertake
ing and to let him know if they wish
to pool, too. The shipment will
leave here for the eastern market
on Saturday, and will arrive on the
eastern market after the holiday,
which is said to be good time to
market the animals.
Prices this year are not quite as
good as they were last year. The
50 farmers in Ashe last year pooled
a total of 522 lambs. The number
this year is expected to be much
larger.

In the opening game Of the Amer

here last Saturday afternoon, the
West Jefferson team, coached and
managed by Rex Morton, defeated
Nathan's Creek by the score of 10

The big score was made largely
as a result of numerous errors on
the part of Nathan's Creek fielders.
Girkman had been fairly effective
on the mound, but his teammates
failed to give him good support.

Feather King, Again

Boxer, Who Hos Won AT
Of 49 Bouts, Will
Appear Tuesday

Petey Scalzo, labeled by many as
q future world featherweight cham
pion, today was signed by Match
maker Goldie Ahearn as half of his
feature presentation at Turner'S S
Arena next Tuesday night.
Ahearn, who saw Scalzo easily
outpoint Paul Lee last night in New
York, expected to sign Petey's oppo-
nent today, but Petey's record of Al
victories in 49 battles hardly was a
selling point in his efforts to obtain
a suitable scrapper.
Scalzo has appeared here three
times, winning two bouts by knock
outs before losing a disputed ver-
dict to Tony Dupre in a downpour
at Griffith Stadium. Manager Pete
Reilly, who has piloted five world
champions, threatened never to
bring another fighter to Washington
because of the decision.
Petey has been hurled near the
top by his recent knockout victory
over joey Archibald, Ring Magazine,
semi official boxing organ, rating
him second in the featherweight di-
vision, with the National Boxing
Association ranking him in the same
spot. Both feel Leo Kodak is the
leading contender for the vacant
title.
