still to meet and overcome the
hardest test of all. That is
whether by democratic means
they can make their government
strong enough to carry through
those financial and economic re-
forms which are indispensable if
the initiation is 10 b cured and
the European recovery program
is to be successful.
The French problem is by no
means insoluble 1t is objective
ly a far less difficult problem to
solve than is the British, not to
speak of the German. The
French, with good luck in their
harvests and with proper assis
tance from the United States,
have the wherewithal to recover
from the war, to become SOL
vent, and to play a leading part
in the affairs of Europe and of
the world. But to solve their
problems they must have a
stable, efficient, and enlightened
government which has the sup
port of the nation.
What are some of these charg-
es which weigh so heavily upon
the French economy The repair
OF damage caused by the war
accounts in 1947 for a quarter of
the governments expenses and
there is a large additional sum
which is going into maintenance
deferred during the war.
Another quarter of the govern
ment budget is military. Another
third of the budget is for the
expanded social services. There
is the swollen bureaucracy
which is one third more numer-
Gus than it was 1888. There is
the enlarged export program,
made necessary in order to pay
for essential imports. Then there
is need for capital investment to
modernize and develop key in
dustries.
All of these are charges upon
current production. and they are
the reason why France has an
Initiation. French production has
to supply the current needs of
the French people, and also to
support the. repair of war dam
age, deferred maintenance, new
capital formation, relatively
large military establishment, an
enlarged bureaucracy, enlarged
social services, enlarged ex
ports, and also the expenses of
empire.
The question is whether out Of
the normal political system
a government can be formed
which can balance not only the
budget but the national econo-
my. It is evident that to reduce
the charges on French product
ion in order to achieve this bal
ance will require great sacrifice
and extraordinary political dis
cipline. z

lowers believe that a normal

CLINTON, April 20 As the
Tobacco State League embarks
on the second season I can't help
but think of the good old days.
In the early '90s a series OF
games were played in Whining
ton between the Wilmington and
Fayetteville clubs. At that time
Fayetteville had the noted bat
terry of George Stevens and Bob
Stafford. The youngsters had
played with Oak Ridge. Whining
ton had a pitcher by the name OF
MusselWhite, who was n of the
best of that time. MusselWhite
outpitched Stevens and Whining
ton won the series.
In 1895 Nixon Davis, of the ACL
RR, and the man who set up
the Relief system of the raj
road, managed the Wilmington
team. Through the influence of
the Yates boys, I was invited to
go to Wilmington and participate
in a series against High Point.
The High Point club was made
up of such famous players as Bill
lie Armfield. Jack Ragsdale, Joe
Strayhorn, Bed King and Harvey
Davis.
The series was played on a field
near where the old Hammocks
hotel was burned and later the
Harbor Island auditorium was
built on the site.
Players on the Wilmington team
included Bowie Furlong, Billie
Oldham, Billie Watson and other
good players. l managed to play
enough to get a regular spot in
the series.
Later Joe Hinton took over as
manager, and the games were
played at the Hilton park, we had
such players as Arthur Belden,
Fritzie Zellers, Billy Watson, Ga
loway, Harvey Lambeth and
many others.

Although Dan Williams, White

by getting two of his teams five

Tom Jackson struck out nine and

Williams famed IA and allowed
four bases on balls. Both hurlers
went the entire route.
Monday, Whiteville handed
Clarkton a So defeat behind the
four-hit pitching of l5-year old
Rudy Williams, who famed eight.
Losing pitcher Charlie Clark gave
up only six hits, but sloppy Clark

Whiteville victory.

Blackwood team, 1913, in the first
game of a doubleheader last night
at Robert Strange park. The Post
Office maintained their perfect
record in the second game as
they outslugged a spirited Senior
Fraternity aggregation, 14-13.
The initial game was lop-sided
from the very first inning. After
retiring the B1ackwood teen-age
outfit in order, the Vets exploded
seven runs across the plate to
practically clinch the tilt. The
Braves, even though behind by al
most 10 runs at one time during
the tilt, rallied in the last two
frames to grab six tallies. Lead
ing hitters we're ZackWitz of the
Vets who banged four hits for four
times at bat including a triple and
home run. Butler of the winners al
so hit for the circuit, his second
roundtripper of the season. Bobby
Hinson led the losers cause with
two for four.
Post Office had a difficult time In
annexing their fourth straight vic
tory in the second affair. At the
end of the. fifth frame the Senior
Fraternity was ahead, 1873, but
three runs in the sixth and two in
the seventh provided the winning
margin. Norman Farmer spanked
the Postmen by smashing a home
run and two singles for four trips

ternity was their outstanding bat
ter with four for four, two triples
and two doubles.

Early Baseball History
Recalled By Clinton Fan

In one of the series a game
was played between the o. A. u.s.,
a team known as DR.. Strange's
team from St. James church and
managed by Jim CoWan. The A. c..
L. Offices team was managed by
Jim Black and captained by Jim
Sinclair.
Jim CoWan wrote 10 Clinton and
asked Arthur Belden and myself
to play with the O A. Ms. When
Jim Black heard about this he
promptly wired Wake Forest and
got Charlie Taylor and Bob
Gwaltney, the Wake Forest bat
terry to come to Wilmington to
play with the A. c. L. team. Tay-
lor at that time was n Of the
states leading college pitchers.
o. A. Ms. won the game and
Wilmington gained two valuable
citizens as Charlie and Bob never
left. They remained in Whining
ton to become leading business
men. Both married Wilmington
girls.
Later in the l900s we had such
players as Arthur Delvin from
Georgetown University, who lat
er became n of the greatest
third basemen IN the National
league, playing for the New York
Giants. Then came Skeet Emer-

Then came professional ball and
