BY Roy Cook

The Moguls of the Tobacco State League are a bunch
of regular fellows >. Sunday afternoon representatives
of the six teams met for an informal business session
at Uncle Henry's and enjoyed a delicious dinner as the
guests of Victor Stefano and Luby Pollock, co-oWners
of the Wilmington Pirates.
Had quite a chat with Arthur Apple, vice-president
of the recently formed Duplin county athletic assocla-
ton. Apple tells me the residents OF Duplln county are
one hundred percent behind the Warsaw baseball CLUB.
He listed the officers and directors of the club as
follows: S. W. Mariner, president; Arthur Apple, wee
president; R. L. West, ecretary-treasurer and the TO-
lowing directors; H. C. Dale, Moseley Phillips, A. y.
~Draughton, G. E Alpin, Jr, R. c. Moore and Z. A.

81 think the addition of Warsaw to the Tobacco State
League will be a real asset to the circuit, Warsaw is
a good baseball town and the people are oehlnd u.s.:
He added I" and we are going to beat the pants OIL
the other teams"
The complete ball park, including the lights, grand
stand and fence has been purchased and will be erected
on a site near the Warsaw High school, he told me.
In the deal we also got eight or nine players"
he remarked. The players acquired by the Duplln as
ISOLATION include such stars as Lorenz, Gentry. Hun1'
%Scrobola, Bomar, Sellers, Fortune, Wilmer and stevens
he said the directors had not "even thought OF a mah-
ager" since they had been so busy in getting the as
ISOLATION set up.
Apple paid high tribute to the residents Of Dupin

best teams in the league" next season. The mayor
and other officials of the town of Warsaw ana the

OF cooperation, how can we fail ?? he said.
Prexy Jimmy Wade handled the meeting well ana
was careful to explain the proper procedure Oh eacn

Jeff was of average height, average strength and
had average prospects, He'd done brief, unexciting
stint in the Army which had ended ingoriously when
he came out second best in contest with balky

medical discharge. As soldier he'd never pro-

from emotional heights did things to him. For the first
time in his life he felt the desire to pin back the ears
of another man. He thought bitterly, "A fine wolf

tiny little gun"
The pastoral silence punctured by an odd sue
cession of sounds. The sounds were metallic and
steady Jeff said Take it easy, Doris think know

ribbon of highway was spotched by something which

Not now. Well have more fun watching.

The man on the running board heard something
but he didn't suspect that what he heard was Jeff
removing the handle from the jack In fact, he never
had chance to suspect anything, because the jack
handle smacked him on the side of the head before
he had any opportunity to estimate the situation.
Jeff made valiant attempt to sound nonchalant
as he called "Okay, honey"
Doris came toward him. Jeff was busy tying up the
unconscious gentleman with an old tow rope ne kept
under the back seat The man recovered conscious
ness and started saying things. Jeff didn't answer
Instead he thrust his handkerchief gag into the
others mouth and pitched his captive into the back
of the car Then he took Doris by the hand, led her
to fallen tree seated her beside him and authorta
lively put his around her waist He said, Sooner
or later car is bound to along
Suppose one doesnt?
"Who cares?" Then, Honey, you're trembling"
II can't help it. I'm proud and so
happy. ="
JEFF was riding high, wide and handsome. But the
moment had come for his shameful confession. He
said, Look, Doris - there's something you've got
to know I'm not really wolf was just sort of try
ing to ask you to marry me- and you thought -"
She was quick on the uptake. She said, That's
why love you so much, darling You're the first
honorable wolf ever met
This was Jefs cue to do things He wrapped her
up tight He was feeling swell With all the precincts
heard FROM this wolf business wasn't so bad. 1t made
him feel wonderful and he had hunch he would
continue to feel that way.
From the car came mufled futile sounds jeff raised
his eyes from Dors's radiant countenance long
enough to bestow glance on his captive. Listen
you" he said in his new, authoritative manner
there wouldn't be any use of you saying anything
even if you could For your information have no
intention of breaking it up And have even less
intention of leaving 20 of this babe The End
