State Tournament and Athletics
Other Local Items.
The Purple and Gold Tossers have
put Union City on the map. Thurs
day afternoon, Mar. 16, they trav
eled to Nashville to participate in the
State tournament. They surprised
even their most ardent admirers in
their first game Friaday afternoon
when they defeated Central High
School of Nashville by a score of 23
to 16. This team, being the largest
and strongest in the capital, was ex
pected to come out in the finals, but
the Union City girls got right into
the game and by the victory elim
inated Central High from further ac
tion. Although they were playing
against a local team, our girls re
ceived the greater part of the sup
port of the side lines. In fact, ihey
vere universal favorites throughout
the tournament and received count
less compliments from spectator and
participants for their ability to han
dle the ball and for their clean
sportsmanship. In their second game
the girls drew the Central High
School of Memphis as their opponents
and this team was considered the
strongest aggregation in the tourna
ment. The Gold tossers being out
classed in size, age and experience,
went down in defeat, but fighting
hard. And then they were unable to
find the basket while Central High
was fortunate in having one who was
very adept at tossing goals as well
as two fine body guards. The Central
Hi won over Union City Hi by the
same number of points as over the
team that opposed them in the finals,
the Troy High School team. This
team also made a splendid record at
the tournament, winning over the
Nashville teams. The Troy and Un
ion City teams were staunch sup

porters of each other during the en
tire tournament and both made fine
records for Obion County. The teams
of West Tennessee won practically
all the honors in spite of the fact
that there were only three teams
from this section to seven from Mid
dle Tennessee. All the players picked
for the all-star State team were from
West Tennessee. Central Hi of
Memphis, Troy and Union City had
the best records of the ten contest
ing teams. Bernice Flack was chosen
as one of the all-star State team and
Marjorie Dahnke as one of the sec
ond team.The tournament ,was a
success in every respect and will like
ly become an annual event of great
interest. Peabody College, through
Miss Esther Norton, physical director,
should be praised for the cordial
manner of entertaining the visiting
teams.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas motored to
Hickman with Mr. and Mrs. McRee
last Tuesday week to see the Missis
sippi River, which is at flood stage.
It was an object of much interest to
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas because they
are from Eastern Virginia, where big
waters consist of the ocean and its
inlets.
Several members of the High
School faculty had planned a trip to
Hickman last Sunday to see the river
at flood stage but the rain prevented
them from going.
The Union City nine went down in
defeat before the South Fulton slug
gers on the local grounds Friday af
teroon. Although the local boys
played a hard game they showed the
lack of training necessary to goo
work and the locals lost the game
thru errors for that reason. Calli-
cott opened on the mound for the
locals and with his "twisters" kept
the visiting team bewildered until
the seventh, when they found him
and walloped a few for several bases.
It was the first game of the season
for Union City Hi, and they did ex
cellent work, considering their hand
icaps. The South Fulton team -did
fine work both in the field and at the
bat. The score was 5 to 3,- but the
locals promise to reverse it next
time.
With the fina'.s only eight weeks
away there is much vork to be done
if all are to be ready for the close.
All are working hard now for the
big coming event, "Field Day," and
t will take much worls to make it
nteresting and successful. Let's all
co-operate. REPORTER.
McMillin Out for Governor.
Mr. McMillin's announcement in
full, is as follows:
"To the Democracy of Tennessee:
"Responding o what seems to me
to be a real demand from the rank
and file of the party that I become a
candidate for Governor, I hereby an
nounce my candidacy for the nomi
nation to said office, subject to the
Democratic primary election to be
held next August. My deep grati
tude for past favors at the hands of
the Democratic party and the hope
that I may be the agency whereby
the party may be restored to power
in Tennessee, constrain me, out of a
sense of duty,- to forego my personal
disinclination in the matter and to
seek again the office of Governor.
"I yield to the importunities to
become a candidate in the confident
hope and belief that I may be helpful
to my party and useful to the State.
I shall not be a candidate of any fac
tion, clique or special interest. I
have had no special part in recent
factional controversies. My only so
licitude concerning them is that they
shall cease, and harmony prevail to
the end that Tennessee be restored
to the Democratic fold, where she
rightfully belongs. I shall waste no
powder on fellow Democrats, but will
reserve all my ammunition for the
common enemy. I promise'the peo
pie, if nominated and elected, that I
will make them the same kind of
Governor I did before. My record
as Governor speaks for itself. Per
formances are more satisfying than
promises. At the proper time, how
ever, I shall take my cause to the
people and discuss with them candid
ly and fully matters affecting the
welfare of the people. It is too early
to begin a campaign. A long drawn
out campaign would not be profitable
to the people or to the party.
"If my record as a Democrat and
public servant is worthy, I indulge
the hope that the people will favor
my candidacy and in the interest of
economy and good government, I seek
their suffrage.
"It will be my pleasure to abide
the decision of the majority of the
Democrats of Tennessee, .and to do
as I have always done, give my vote
and my voice to the nominee of the
party, whoever he may be.
"Respectfully,
BENTON M'MILLIN."
