From “Front Page, Upper Left Corner” by Bob Bozeman: The
annual Rotary Fish & Wildlife Camp will be held at Camp Tal Stuart, near
Belleville, next Wednesday and Thursday. About 60 young boys are expected to
take part in the two-day and a night camp receiving instructions in spin, bait
and fly casting, skeet, rifle range, trapping, water safety, game management,
forestry, etc.
Evergreen Rotary sponsors the camp which has won a number of
state awards.
Earl Kennemer, wildlife specialist for Auburn Extension
Service, will be at the camp again this year. Earl always makes it when he can.
You’ll find a picture of him elsewhere in this issue with one of his bream
catches and he’ll be on ETV next week.
If you get a chance, drop by the camp and see those boys,
not only having a grand time, but also getting some mighty good instruction
from some fine adults who give their time and efforts.

Locals Defeat Monroeville By Score of 7 to 4: By gaining an
early lead in Sunday’s game, the locals managed to stay ahead in the closing
innings and win over Monroeville by a 7 to 4 margin. Monroeville’s improved hitting
and Evergreen’s poor fielding gave the visitors three runs in the late part of
the game.
The Greenies ran up four runs in the third inning by getting
a single, a double and a triple. An error and a walk also helped the locals to
gain this lead.
Hart’s pitching was the Greenie’s main defensive weapon. Of
the 27 Monroeville men retired, 13 men went down on strike outs. Several
rallies were cut short by these strike outs.
Johnson and Ivey led the locals in hitting, each slashing
out two hits. Johnson had a double and a triple while Ivey had a double and a
single.
The following games have been scheduled: June 13, Georgiana,
here; June 16, Uriah, there; June 20, Monroeville, there; June 23, Flomaton,
there; June 27, Monroeville, here; June 30, Atmore Prison, site pending.
