The Roanoke No. 2 Red Raiders
trounced the paper mill “Hapcos”
Monday afternoon to the tune of
26-3. Manager Crumpler played
every man on his squad and was
well pleased with the showing his
teams maae. “Speed” Hux set the
pace for the “Raiders”, hitting two
homers and a double. Rubin Dan
iels and "Wheelbarrow” Taylor al
so hit for the circuit.
The boys from No. 2 are im
proving daily and come next week
Manager Crumpler plans to divide
the boys up into two teams—one
captained by Robert Rogers, the
other by “Speed” Hux—and let the
boys fight between themselves for
championship of Roanoke No. 2
and a supper prepared- by the la
dies of the "Thursday Night Club”.
Remember Pete Ferrell, the lad
who plays left field for the Raid
ers? Well, Pete’s back again this
year and he’s knocking that old
pill all over the lot, and to hit
one to Pete’s pasture is like
throwing your hat in a tar bucket.
Yes, Chubby Taylor’s still pushing
his wheebarrow around first base,
and doing a pretty good job of
it. Yep, there just don’t seem to
be an end to how old, how fat,
how skinny, or how slow a man
must get before he must retire
frrtm smfthnll
I wish I could see: “Kong Pong”
Towe hit a homer—“Sweetie”
Smith play as good as he talks—
Haywood Draper throw a man out
at first—"Clem" Brown hit (even
a foul)—Robert Rogers get mad at
his outfield—"Speed” Hux hit an
other souvenir for the office—
Dorsey Nethery strike out Bud
Babb—Deberry hit another homer
(when Carlisle pitches)—Oakley
Vaughan get his eye back on the
ball.
Shearod Crumpler lose his tem

Clain cheer for Roanoke No. 2 this
year.

Go Roundabout
Way To Meet Up
Again In Cuba
Homer Berry and Haywood
Adams were in the same home
room in high school here. They
finished in the same class. There
their destinies parted . . . for
a while.
Homer joined the U. S. Navy
in August 1939. Haywood joined
the U. 8. Marines about a year
later. The two boys were a long
ways apart then, the Navy feeling
itself on a different level from
the Marines and vice versa.
Homer got into the medical
corp of the Navy and was sent
to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. There,
lxrViilo Ho \\ra c in tHo “pHmxtlinn”
one day, he suddenly found him
self by his old classmate, Hay
wood Adams. Come to find out,
Homer had been assigned to the
same batallion of which Haywood
was a member.
The boys soon had their “class”
hatreds buried beneath the mem
ories the sight of each other con
jured up and they brought about
better relations between the “gob”
and the “leather neck”.
Homer, who lives in South Rose
mary, arrived home this week
for a 30-day leave. Haywood is
expected in some time soon.
(Editor’s note: “Chowline”, re
ferred to above, means mess
hall, more civilly known as the
dining place or room.)
