AIR BASE 5 TO 4

The City Optical softball team
defeated the 141st Camp Davis Air
Base club, to 4 in twelve-inning
game last night played at Robert
Strange park for the benefit of
Burney Covington, Optical player,
who was injured in the city series
last week.
Last nights contest was the
eighth game the two teams have
played in the past two weeks, each
team winning four games. In the
city title series the Camp Davis
team won the pennant by taking
four Of the seven games in one Ut
the best championship series ever
played in the city.
Flo Evanicky hurled for the Sol
diers allowing six hits. Robert
Ship was on the mound for the
Opticians and allowed five bingles.
In the summary of the eight
games the Airmen and Opticians
have played shows that each game,
with the exception of the two were
by one run margin, three of them
running into overtime, one for
eight innings, a twenty five frame
contest and last nights dozen
stanza affair. The teams were the
most evenly matched clubs to play
on the local diamonds.
| The umpires and scorekeepers
donated their services last night
and the fairly large crowd was
very generous in their donations to
the injured Optical catcher.
Last nights game rang down the
curtain on local softban for the
1914 season and plans will soon get
underway for the next years lea

DANIELS OPPOSES |
COACHING BOOST

RALEIGH, Oct. 3-R-Josephw
Daniels, former Secretary of tn.
Navy and one Of the founders Of
N. c. State college, unit OF tn.
greater University of North Caro-.
lima. said here today that the
State of North Carolina has not
and will not appropriate money
to elevate a pep coach above a
learned professor"
Daniels, who is a member of the
greater University board, referred
to yesterdays action of the board
in voting to pay athletic coaches
at the two university units as
much as $4,000 yearly in an eff.
fort to produce winning teams"
II share the desire to win in
anything we undertake and when
II attend football game I wish
to see the Chapel Hill and Raleigh
units win, But I do not feel dis.
graced or hurniliated it friendly
rivals get the pennant."
Daniels said the trustees ''were
called upon to weep and lament
and gnash their teeth because the
University Tar Heels lost their
first two football games this year."
I'm the humiliation OF defeat,
some trustees declared that the
cause Of humiliation came be.
cause there was lack of a sl2,5oo
football coach and the future
destiny of the university depended
on paying more to the men who
train Heels than those who train
heads" he said.
There are some people who,
while interested in athletics, still
think universities and colleges
were established to train men TO
think and to discover how to do
things better in every field, That
idea may be out Of date when
Drawn in more honored than brain.
Some Of us are still old fashioned
enough to think sucn teaching at
least ranks with ability to kick
a football higher and farther than
competing teams"
Daniels referred to State col.
lege's textile foundation, which
has raised more than $500,00O by
public subscription to promote
textile education, as a means Of
improving the athletic programs
at the two colleges.
'tNow let all football fans get
together and raise a football foun.
dation fund to pay a winning coach
as much salary as is necessary to
let us leave the games proud Of
victory. I will contribute modest
ly to such foundation ne add.

Fire Menace To
Holmes Farmers

According to the National Fire Pro-
lection Association, last year a farm
building caught on fire every fifteen
minutes and this report goes on to
state that 10000 barns went up in
smoke.
When we think of the staggering loss
es caused from carelessly letting fire
burr valuable property in every com
munity almost daily, it would seem that
people would be more careful.
The other day a forest fire was start
ed on a farm in the Owens Wells com
munity by two little negroes who were
determined to catch a snake. The snake
get it out they set fire to it. The wind
was higher than the boys thought, (if
they had a thought) and if it had not
been for the cooperation Of the neigh
bors a great amount of valuable grass
and timber would have been lost on this
farm.
Much larger percent of Holmes coun-
ty citizenship are conscious today of
the useless property loss caused from
fires than ever before. The old notion
that in order to have a good woods
pasture, it is necessary to burn off the
old grass has been proven false. In fact
it has been found that we have more
grasses and earlier grasses where the
woods are not burned, for the simple
reason that more organic matter is
added to the soil and the old grass pro-
tects the young grass from the cold
weather.
