REDS-On the second pitch, Kip
pie grounded out to Gehringer.
lombard looked at a couple OF
balls, fouled off three times, and
then grounded out to Bartell.
On a three and n pitch, Joost
flied to Campbell.
No runs, no hits, no errors, none
left.
TIGERS-With the count two and
two, Greenberg lined a vicious
single down the middle of center
field.
York looked at one ball, and
then drove a tremendously high
home run over the left field fence,
$50 feet from the plate, scoring
Greenberg ahead of him. The
crowd roared and threw newspap-
ers and other litter onto the out
field as a dozen or so park attend
ants sought to clean the field.
The game was delayed as the
shower continued.
The attendants finally left the
field with considerable paper and
other debris still scattered in cen
ter and right fields.
Campbell singler to left.
Higgins drove the first pitch on
a line into the upper deck of the
left field stands, slightly to the
left of where York's homer hit,
and Campbell scored ahead of him.
The crowd again cluttered up
the field and an effort was made
tc clear it while the Reds went in
to a huddle on the pitching mound.
Turner was cheered as he walk
ed dejectedly back to the dugout,
and Whitley Moore, a right-hand-
er, came to the slab and warmed
up.
Tebbetts lined the first pitch to
M. Mccormick.
The crowd applauded and cheer
ed as Bridges came to bat, but on
the second pitch he grounded to
Myers and was easily thrown out.
Bartell waited out a two and
two count, and then singled on the
ground into right field.
McCosky took M ball and
doubled into deep center field,
sending Bartell to third.
With the count one and one, Geh-
ringer popped UP foul to Wer-
Der halfway between home and
third.
Four runs, six hits, no errors,
two left.

Airplane Factory?

The movement that has been started by
number of leading citizens in Ashe, AL
leghany and Watauga counties to secure
one or more arms or airplane factories, is
in line with the Presidents huge defense
recommendations and may be the means
by which this section will obtain industrial
plants
Congress is acting swiftly and favorably
upon President Roosevelt's request that ap-
proximately three billion dollars be spent
this year to build up the strength of the
army, navy and airplane forces of the Uni
ted States to the point where this coun-
try will be in position to defend itself
against any nation or combination of ma
tons in the world.
Out of this record peace-time appropria-
ton, the President has asked that $4,000
fighting planes be built and it has been
strongly suggested that the plants in which
planes and other machines of modern war;
fare are constructed, be located in the pro-
tected mountain regions of the Allegha-
MES and the Rockies. s
Lie OS0IA NNVAOAA VI III "a oA4A
munition factories in the open countries of
Europe, by Germanys streamlined war ma
chinery, has clearly shown that it is i'm
possible to defend these vital sources of
supply unless they are afforded geographic
cal protection and isolation.
With the benefit of this knowledge forci-
bly, impressed upon them, the military
minds of this country are focusing their
eyes upon the mountain areas.
With it's high altitude and inaccessible
ty except by highways, this section can be
easily defended It also offers other advan-
tages such as unlimited electric power de-
velopment and good labor.
The establishment of large federal
plant in this area would certainly start a
boom to local business and provide bound
less employment opportunities.
There are some, however, who will con-
tend that such plants are undesirable as
they will make this section an object of at
tack in event of war. That is true, but the
chances of our being attacked are very
small, especially if this country gets in a
position to defend itself, as it is now.

sonating Mr.. Maxwell and Ed,
Mr.. Mcmillan.
The clever impersonators had
written the dialogue themselves
and practiced the act several
times before the meeting. For 10
minutes, they kept everybody in
a constant uproar of side-split-
ting laughter. Even Mr.. Mcmillan
enjoyed certain parts of it.
G. F. Messick, superintendent
of Caldwell Mutual Corporation,
discussed the Presidents gigantic
defense-building program and
suggested that this section would
make an ideal location for some
of the arms or airplane factories.

county; Edwin Duncan and DR..
