her excess speed and ability.

taking part in that race are: Ber-

Hobbs and Howell of Goldsboro;
Acme Hanover bay gelding owned
by ]. r. Youngblood of Tarboro;
and Symbol Stella owned by Al

The Gmelight OF the PAGER class,
also a three heat event, falls on
two extra special standard bred
horses. Guy Call, who was recent
ly bought from a horse farm in
the blue grass country of Ken

showed decided interest in pos.
sibility nat Canada had called the
conference and had withheld the
Russian invitation. And on that
point, too, little enlightenment ap-
peared.
An official of the Canadian war
information board said Canada was
the host. but mot in the sense of
calling the conference. He left
the impression that the U n t d
Kingdom and the United States
were responsible for bringing the
conference about.
Aside from the discussions be-
tween British and Canadian mill
tary experts. little significant ac-
tivity was in evidence here today.
Most of the Canadian cabinet min
listers who had been here earlier
had returned to their capital at
Ottawa. but were coming b k
later.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-tRELuke
Appling's 2,00Oth big league hit
was something more than just a
record book entry today. 1t was
the difference between two-run
homers by catcher Tom Turner
for the White Sox and first base
man Tony Lupien for the Boston
Red Sox, giving the Chicagoans a
8 to 2 decision and putting them
ahead, three games to two, in the
six-game series.
The veteran White Sox shortstop
reached the 'tWo-grand' mark
by smashing a single off Lupien's S
glove in the first inning, scoring
Wally Moses who had gained third
on Jim Tabor's tumble, fielder S
choice and a sacrifice.
Appling became the 80th player
in big league history and the ninti
contemporary star TO achieve 1000
hits. The 34-year-old shortstol
started with the White Sox in 1880
only few months out of Ogle
thorpe university. Other player.

Joe Moon Hurls Metalmen
To Win In Sluggish
Cape Fear Contest

he Sheetmetal lads downed the
Welders nine in an unimpressive
oall game yesterday to decide the
second team to enter the second
half playoffs Sunday. The score
was 1877.
The ball game was strictly a
Sheetmetal affair from start to
finish and after the third inning
were never headed. The Welders
started the ball rolling in the first
stanza with three runs, but the
Metalmen began to click in the
third inning and before the side
was retired held the heavy end
OF the scoring to 8.
The winners added another 4
tallies in the next frame while the
Welders contributed with one lone
tally. The losing squad then buck
led down and held the Sheetmetal-
men scoreless for the following
three innings, while they counted
up two in the fifth and one in the
sixth to finish their scoring for
the afternoon.
The Metalmen wounded up their
run making in the eighth session
with three-run spree.
Joe Moon handled the mound
work for the winners with his
capable battery mtae, Joyner,
handling the backstop chores. On
the mound for the losers was Hill,
Sawyer, and West with Hill and
West rotating into the Gather posi-
ton.
Willis, star Welder player, led
the losers at the platter with two
hits for three official trips; while
Burney Covington paced the Sheet
metal lads with five for six, one
a double, which proved to be the
only extra-base blow of the ball
game.
The Sheetmeta lads will battle
the strong Air Base Bombers in
a crucial game Sunday at Legion
Stadium. The winner of Sunday S
tilt will play the first half win
ners, Camp Davis, for the cham
-pionship of the Cape Fear League.

ting slump, Coach Brinkley said.
Proctor is also looking better ev-
cry day as pitcher. In the last
three roles as relief pitcher,
Proctor has limited the opposition
to one hit, and his foes have not
scored an earned run off him in
8 % innings pitched.
Bud Heath, third-baseman, led
the local team in hitting in the
Albemarle three-game series, pei
letting the pill for an 800 batting
average.
Capt. Buck Hardee has also been
meeting the ball squarely in prac-
tice, and his throwing has great
ly improved during the past week.
IT feel that if the boys will play
the type of ball they are capable
of playing, We'll give somebody
fit Coach Brinkley said today.

Brigade Adds Newsies
To Second Half Losses
By Taking Contest 6-2

The Boys Brigade softbaN
team continued to add to its
string of second half wins yes
terday by defeating the falter-
ing Star-News ten 81.
The Brigade club drew first
blood in the fourth inning by
sending two runs scurrying
across the plate. The Newsies
came back in their half of that
inning with one run, but the
winners added two more tallies
in the fifth and an additional two
in the sixth to clinch the vic
tory. TIE best the Star-News
lads could do was to add one
more tally in the sixth.
Although the Newsies and
the Brigaders each made two
errors, the fsles by the losing
ten were with two men on
base each time, thus aiding
the Brigade to a great extent.
eading batters for the win
ners were: Voss, third base
man with two for three and
Mccall, shortstop, also with
two for three. The top "stick-
men" for the losers were Bert
Moore with three for three and
Griffith with two for three.
Mccall and Walker Of the
Brigade and Jimmy Moore Of
the Newsies each collected a
double.

EXPLAINED HERE
Advocate of New Livestock
Grazing Talks To
Exchange Club

Nitrogen in the air is one Of
the greatest sources Of wealth
within our grasp" Hugh MacRae,
prominent Wilmington business
man and an ardent advocate of the
continuous grazing" method OF
livestock production, told mem
bers of the Wilmington Exchange
club at their weekly meeting Fri
day.
"By capturing this abundant nat
ural element in the form of legume
crops and thereby producing live
stock, dairy products and numer-
GUS by-products. this area has an
opportunity to meet almost any
condition. Mr.. MacRae contin-
ued.
He told the Exchangites that the
state of Iowa. through the produc-
ton of livestock and dairy prod
ucts, gains more wealth than the
entire south including the state
Of Texas.
Continuous grazing, as proven
at Invershiel. can be accomplished
easily within this area as well as
the entire south" the retired real
estate man said. He invited mem
bers of the club to visit his farm,
Invershiel, and learn at first hand
some of the principals Of continu-
Gus grazing which is accomplished
by planting a series of food crops
which provide grazing for live
stock throughout the entire year.
R. A. Dunlea, president OF the
club, urged all members to be
