HARTINGTON- The Trinity baseball team won the county Junior League championship by defeating Fordyce 9-1 in a playoff game here Sunday.
Jim Hesse, Trinity pitcher, was in command all the way, allowing only two hits and giving two walks. A fifth Fordyce player got on base through Trinity’s only error but was immediately rubbed out with the old hidden ball trick. The only Fordyce run was a homer by Dick Lammers in the fourth. Hesse faced only 23 men in seven innings.
Lammers and B. Eickhoff allowed Trinity only six hits but errors and four walks provided scoring opportunities which were usually followed by hits. Hesse helped his own cause by collecting three singles in four trips to the plate and J. Feilmeier hit a double and single in three times at bat.
Each team completed a double play.
A league all-star game will be played at Fordyce August 5 with Trinity and Constance combining forces against the Fordyce and Bow Valley teams.

HARTINGTON- Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger, Nebraska Selective Service director, this week warned Class 2-C farm registrants under 26 years of age who are acceptable must expect eventual induction.
The warning, he said, is being issued in the hope that young farmers will give heed and not rule out the prospect of induction when formulating farming plans for 1945–46. Henninger also said deferment requirements for farmers over the age of 26 are not being relaxed. Older farmers are still subject to induction if their production does not warrant deferment.
“Nebraska’s manpower pool of physically acceptable registrants, aged 18 through 29, exclusive of farmers, had dwindled to 1,700 on July 1,” Henninger said. “This number, even when bolstered by new registrants reaching the age 18, is inadequate to fill induction calls which will be made upon the state during the next two months.
“We have recognized the seriousness of this year’s late growing season and have allowed the temporary postponement of hundreds of inductions of young farmers. As a result of this policy, we have not been filling our induction calls. This condition cannot continue indefinitely, and I feel that the farmers of the state are entitled to know now that the fall and winter induction schedules will demand the calling of hundreds of farmers, aged 18 through 26.”
