Jansen And lopat
Rival TMiriers
In Fifth Gam !

NEW YORK, Oct 9.-tHAJoe
DiMaggio's revival Aroused New
York Yankees hopes today as,
Lefty Ed Lopat (12-9) faced the
Giants Larry Jansen t23-11) in
the fifth world series game -at
the polo grounds.
All square with two wins each
after Allie Reynolds 6-2 conquest
of the Giants Sal Maglie yester-
day, the clubs were ready for a
rematch of Fridays duel.
DiMaggio, Swinging from a new
stance after three hitless games,
renewed the pride of the Yanks
with his two-run homer and
single off Maglie.
For the first time in weeks,
the Yanks hit like the club that
fought off Cleveland and Boston
to win the American League PEN
nant, And they did it against the
Giants best.
Public sympathy rained on
the 36-year-old DiMaggio in the
first three games Of his 10th
and probably last-series. He
didn't have a hit. hadn't hit a
ball hard in II trips.
You noted the difference the
first time he faced Maglie First
a curved strike. Then three balls.
A vicious foul liner off the up
per deck that missed being a ho-
mer by four feet. Another foul
liner. and three more fouls, be-
fore he looked too long at T cur
ved third strike.
After the game and his $50 foot
homer with Yogi Gerra on base
in the fifth, he said he "likedp
that first foul liner best of ALL
1t was the first hint that the
jolter was back on the beam.
It is difficult to overestimate
the emotional lift DiMaggio can
give the Yanks. Or vice versa.
With tire big fellow slashing,
slumping Berra started to hit
the ball on the nose. Yogi ham,
mered two liners at outfielders
before he got his lone hit.
Bobby Brown came up with two
hits and Hank Bauer broke his
hitless slump, even though one
was ball that hit base runner
Gil McDougald for an automatic
hit and automatic out.
With this solid backing of IL
hits, Reynolds was a different
pitcher from the fellow who lost
the opening game. The sturdy
Indian from Oklahoma had a
zinging fast ball and sharp curve
that piled up seven. strikeouts.
Twice he simply blew the ball
past a wildly-waving Wes West
rum.
Al Dark, who hit him for a
three-run homer in the opener,
slammed three successive doubles
to left field The first meant a
run when Monte Irwin poked a
single to left. But the others
meant only men left on base.
Allie had a rocky ninth that
promoted manager Casey Stengel
to start Johnny Sain and Bob

MANTEO GIRLS TAKE
DISPUTED VICTORY

For while after the final whis-
tie Tuesday night nobody was
certain whether the Manteo girls
had defeated Moyock by a score
of 31-31, as one scorebook showed
or whether the game was head
ed for an overtime with the score
tied at 30-all. The Moyock team
was i'll content by the eventual
decision that the official score
book showed the Manteo girls the
winners. The Manteo boys won
handily, 1922.
The Buxton high school teams
will be in ManteO Friday night
to give the local squads their
first taste Of Dare county COM
petition during the present sea-
son.
The girls game with Moyock
had been close all the way with
the lead changing several times
throughout the game and with al
most every basket in the last half.
Griffin, a Moyock forward, cop
ped high point honors for the
evening with 16 counters, closely
followed by Betty Rae Sanderlin
of Manteo with Is. 1t was hot
and-heavy action all through the
game, and it was just as steamy
around the scorers and the play
ers' benches for a few minutes
after the game was over,
Manteo's boys were never head
ed in their game. Led by Jack
Cahoon and Punk Daniels, with
ten points apiece, the home team
managed to stay well out in front
from beginning to end. Luton, Mo-
yock forward, popped in 10 points
for the losers.

NEGROES RETURN
TO SCHOOL FOR
MORE EDUCATION
Manteo Principal Gratified at
Interest Shown by Peo-
pie of His Race

While many of his people are
frittering away their time and
passing up golden opportunity,
there is much to be CRATE
full for, and Thos. Richard Lamb,
principal of the colored school at
Manteo, is encouraged and hope
full, because women who are mar
ried and the mothers of children
have returned to school and are
trying to prepare themselves for
better life.
"Prof." Lamb, as his people love
to call him, has been teaching at
Manteo for three years. One of
his students is 3O-year-old Mary
Simmons Daniels, estranged
from her husband, and with two
small children to support. Another
is Mary Hester McClease Whed-
bee, the wife of Charles Whedbee,
and who in the primary last year,
registered and voted along with
with about 20 other people of chr
race.
The Manteo school now has 90
students, despite a high non-at-
tedance record prevalent among
the Negroes. Twenty-Five are en-
rolled in the high school, and Prof.
Lamb teaches all the classes in
high school. There are so enc
mentary pupils and SO in the pri-
mary grades.
Up to now the Board of Edu-
cation has done nothing toward
improving the school property
other than putting a roof on the
building last year. It has no run
ming water system or indoor tot
let's and no playground equipment.
In short the recreational facilities
at the school are practically nil.
The other teachers aid in the
work. One is Mrs. Lillian Estelle
Boone, daughter of Joe Tillett of
Manteo; thee other is Mrs. Eva
Bethea of Elizabeth City. Prof.
Lamb, a native of Elizabeth City,
got his BIS degree at State Teach
ers College, Elizabeth City, and
took postgraduate work in CO.
lumbia University; New York
City. He has taught extensively in
Pasquotank County, and also in
Pamlico County. He was one of
IL children who grew to manhood,
there being in all 81 children born
to his mother and father, men,
bers of prominent Negro family
in Pasquotank County.
He has been successful in
bringing up family of five, two
daughters being married, one with
seven children, another with two
children; and three sons, of whom
one, Harold, is studying medicine
in Michigan, another, Gerald, is
practicing dentistry in Waterbury,
Conn, being the only Negro
in his group, and the third, Will
lie, is now in his last year in Eliz-

Then /
AND.
THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
AMNs
AkG 81
hHVIcToR MEEKlNS

There are people who still think
that the hometown weekly should
give them as much news as a daily
newspaper.
This is not correct. The weekly
newspaper is not a competitor of
the daily paper. It has a separate
and distinct field of it's own, and
a field in which the daily news
paper cannot compete.
The daily newspapers job is to
give US as quickly as possible an
account of all of today's news to-
day. Its equipment and it's staff
are geared to that particular job.
1t doesn't always wait for the
mails, but maintains it's own de-
livery system in order to get the
news out earlier than the mails
might do. 1t has become one of the
essentials Of every day life. It is
always rushed to get late news
into print and before it's readers.
Spot news, like coffee and soup,
is not good when it is cold. 1t be-
comes stale fiat and Improbable
or unenjoyable, if you wish.
The daily papers do their job
well, but like everyone else who
does his particular job well, it
sticks to it's job. It doesn't branch
out into other fields. One of these
fields is that of the weekly news
paper, or rather the weekly news
paper which sees its field and
sticks to it.
Of course the weekly newspaper
prints q lot Of news of local inter
est. There are social and personal
items of the moment that tend to
give it a honey flavor, and make
it more interesting to a greater
number of readers. But the all
important field for the weekly
newspaper is to do the job that
no daily can do, and that is to mir
ror the life and times Of its own
community. To present those mat
tiers, past, present and future,
which set its community apart
from any other community as the
eyes of it's own citizens see it.
In your town or village, or
neighborhood, there are countless
happenings that are not consider
ed news by the big newspapers,
because they have little interest
to distance people. The hometown
weekly takes note of these things.
And there are numerous things
with great human interest appeal
that do inspire others in distant
places. No one sees them so well
as the hometown editor, and no
one is in position to portray them
with the same degree of sympathy
and understanding.
The hometown weekly fulfils a
great need in carrying a weekly
message to loved ones far afield
who wish to keep in touch with
the old home and old friends.
Many of these people cannot af-
ford to pay the higher price for a
bulky daily paper in order to CLEAN
a few items about a single Sec
ton Of it's territory. But the home

OREGON INLET ROAD
POSSIBILITIES BRIGHTEN

Property owners along the
route of the new road to be built
from the old whalebone filling sta
ton site to Oregon Inlet on Bodie
Island have all signed the neces-
sary papers granting the 10O-foot
right-of-way, and the papers were
this week forwarded to the State
Highway Commission. The loca-
ton of the proposed new highway
has been officially approved by
the Dare Board Of Commissioners,
and it is to be hoped that con-
tract for the work will be let in
the near future. There is no def
mite word on the Highway Com
missions intentions in regard to
letting the contract, but with
these necessary preliminaries out
of the way, it is thought that ac-
ton may be expected in the near
future.

MANTEO SENIORS ASK
FOR CHINESE COSTUMES

Seniors in Manteo high school
plan soon to present a Chinese
play-but they are handicapped in
their production plans by the
need of such Chinese costumes as
kimonas and pajamas. The seniors
would be appreciative if persons
who have such costumes would al
low them to use them during dress
rehearsals and on the night Of
performance. Anyone having gar
ments Of this kind that the SEN
iors may use should notify Mrs.
