QUAKES
H. S. W'ms., Jr.
The Quaker teams certainly have
been giving the Elonites their share
of defeats lately. The baseball team
let them down to the ratio of 14-8
and now the tennis club returns from
a 4-3 victory over the Little Christian
outfit. Looks as if Guilford is devel
oping a "Beat Elon" complex. Won
der what Pop Shepherd's track 'squad
will do to Hardrock's Protoyes?
Speaking of the track squad—We
would venture to suggest that Ye
Publique might do well to watch that
outfit which recently dropped the
Conference Champions of 1930 by
the mere margin of 104-22.
Perhaps suggesting that the stu
dent body get behind them would not
be amiss.
We notice in "The Pioneer," pub
lished by Catawba, that the Indians
lost that Basketball game because
our "barn" was too full of haystacks.
We would like to suggest that the
track meet with the Indians Satur
day, will be out in the wide open
spaces with nothing but the tape to
check their flight.
Coach Anderson's diamond candi
dates are rapidly showing improve
ment. Zachary is showing fine form
on the mound with several promising
candidates following him. Webster, a
fledgling of the flock, is showing a
fine batting eye and has promising
indications of a future.
Of the old men, Bunn, I. Davis,
Chisholm, Cheek and others are up
to par and from the performance of
the squad as a whole, we would pre
dict a continuation of their success.
"Folks," said the colored minister,
"the subject of my sermon dis evenin'
am 'Liars'." How many in de congre
gation has done read the 69th chap
ter ob Matthew?"
Nearly every hand in the audience
was raised immediately.
"Dat's right," said his reverence.
"You is just de folks I want to preach
to. Dere is no 69th chapter of Mat
thew."

Chisholm's Running Catch Is
Feature Of Slow
Game
FAST FIELDING IS SHOWN
In a slugfest, Guilford defeated
Wake Forrest, 10 to 7. Base hits of
a large variety were in order for
both clubs but Pratt's three sacker
in the seventh was the feature hit of
the day. Jamieson with three time
ly hits in the pinch looked good.
Both clubs turned in fast field
ing plays at times, but on the whole
the playing was slow. Chisholm's
running catch of Benton's long drive
in the ninth was the fielding gem of
the day and it checked a last ditch
drive of Wake Forest.
The visitor's opened strong and
with timely hitting, especially by
Earp, scored five runs before Guil
ford could push a man beyond the
keystone sack.
In the fifth inning Guilford opened
with a bang and before the smoke
had cleared away, Barnes had left
the game and four runs were over
the platter. Taylor took his place
and retired the side without further
damage.
The Quakers were not to be de
nied, for in the next inning they
jumped on Taylor for six runs and
won the ball game.
The rest of the game developed
into a defensive battle on Guilford's
part to hold their hard earned ad
vantage.

Thursday evening:, April 9, marked
the close of a successful year of Y.
M. C. A. work under the leadership
of Bunyan Andrews. Mr. Andrews

Y. M. C. A. and expressed his appre
ciation of what it means to him. In
concluding he passed on the respon
sibility of leadership to the newly

Jones, secretary and treasurer, both
spoke optimistically in regard to the
future program.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Many Quaker Stars Contribute
To Major League Baseball History
All baseball fans know of Tom
Zachary, ace of American League
pitchers, the cousin of our Charlie,
and Rick Ferrell, of the St. Louis
Browns, said by some to be the best
young catcher in the American lea
gue, but the story of Guilford base
ball men who have made the big lea
gues goes farther back than that, to
1892, in fact.
Lucian Smith, the first Guilford
man to be a major league player, left
here in 1892 and joined the Virginia
League, which won the pennant while
he was pitching for it. He was conse
quently sold to the New Orleans
team, which led the Southern Lea
gue in the fight for the pennant for
the three seasons after he joined it.
After playing for a time with
Wilkes-Barre and later with the Pi
rates, he was forced to quit because
of an injury from a batted ball.
John and Jim Fox, who left in 1889,
were the next Guilford players to
continue their baseball careers suc
cessfully after leaving Guilford. One
fourth of July, playing for Greens
boro, Jim defeated Charlotte single
handed by four home runs, one with
a man on base, winning for Greens
boro 5-3.
The next group of stars were
coached by Lucian Smith, and like
him, were products of the commun
ity. The Hobbs boys were the out
standing players of this group. Dr.
A. W. Hobbs, now professor of Math
ematics in U. N. C., was a pitcher
and played with the Yankees. Dr. L.
L. Hobbs, now a surgeon, was the
catcher of this brother battery. He
played with Greensboro and Raleigh
in the Piedmont League.
Chick Doak, also of this group, a
third baseman, played after he left
Guilford in the Piedmont League,
and later with Charleston in the
South Atlantic.
Then Wilson Hobbs, the pitcher of
the brother battery, coached Luke
Stewai-t, 1912-13, who reached the St.
Louis Browns. He has the unusual
distinction of having hit a home run
on the first ball pitched to him dur
ing his first game with the majors
by Walter Johnson.
Quakers Lose In
Practice Games
Scrubs Succumb to Oak Ridge
and Public Service Nines
in Slow Contests
GUILFORD FIELDS POORLY
The Quakers suffered a relapse in
two practice tilts, losing to Oak
Ridge, 8-1 and to the Public Service
nine of Greensboro, 9-2.
The Oak Ridge contest, played on
the cadet field, was featured by the
splendid pitching performances of
Royle and Stockton both of the prep
school. Royle allowed no hits during
his four-innings mound engagement
and fanned five collegians; Stockton
completed the game, permitting only
two safe blows. Gold of Oak Ridge
insured the victory in the fifth with
a triple, while two mates were on.
Slayton, Cadet outfielder hit a homer
in the eight. Guilford fielded poorly,
five bobles being credited against
them.
Summary:
H. R. E.
Oak Ridge .... 9 8 2
Guilford 2 15
Batteries: 0. R. —Royle, Stockton,
and Ferebee; Guilford Zachary,
Pierce, and Davis.
Public Service Game
After getting off to a two run lead
in the first inning Guilford weaken
ed after the fourth frame to succumb
to the Public Service team in a list
less encounter; the Quakers showed
little fight after the beginning spurt.
Neese, the visiting pitcher, hurled a
steady game, giving four widely scat
tered hits during the entire seven in
ning game.
Summary: R. H. E.
Public Service 000 230 4—9 11 2
Guilford 200 000 o—2 4 2
Batteries: P. S.—Neese and Clark;
Guilford —Pierce and Davis.
"So you were in the hospital three
months. Must have been pretty sick!"
"No, pretty nurse."
Probably the most famous pitch
er from Guilford was Ern Shore, who
graduated in 1914, and went to
Greensboro, from there to Baltimore,
and from there to the Boston White
Sox, where he reached the climax of
his career by pitching a perfect
game against the Senators.
Tom Zachary who played from 1915
to 1919, went to Philadelphia direct
from Guilford and after the war
signed with the Senators for whom
he won two world series games. Af
ter considerable trading he is now
with the New York Yankees, for
whom he has won another world se
ries game.
Murchison, a very peculiar charac
ter, was in Guilford with Zachary.
In one year he made a record of 87
strikeouts in G games. After Guilford
he played with Winston-Salem. He
was bought by the St. Louis Card
inals, who sent him to Houston in the
Texas League but soon recalled him.
He began playing outlaw baseball
and was blacklisted for five years,
after which he settled with the Chi
cago Cubs, and has been with them
ever since.
Jumping several minor league men,
we find the next group of majors to
begin with George Ferrell, who has
been with Memphis in the Southern
League for some years.
Shirt Smith and Rick Ferrell con
stituted one of the best batteries ever
to go out from Guilford. Ferrell, the
catcher, went from Guilford to De
troit for one year, then to Columbus
for three years. Last season he was
with the St. Louis Americans. Smith,
two seasons after graduation, signed
to the Tigers, who farmed him to
Montreal, and after a while he mov
ed to Toledo. He has also been with
Fort Worth, in the Western associa
tion. In one season he struck out 168
men, and the earned run average per
nine inning games was 1.72.
These men do not include all those
who have played in small leagues as
professionals. Besides the ten who
have reached the major leagues,
there are any number who have play
ed long as professionals, but whose
names have been forgotten.
