Selection of Donald Davis as a
member of this year’s All-East
baseball team further emphasizes
his athletic ability. The New Bern
High school senior was given a
grant in aid at Wake Forest be
cause of his football prowess, but
it may turn out that he will be
more valuable as an infielder for
the Deacon nine.
Baseball is a popular sport at the

A MATCHLESS
NEW
EXPRESSION
OF A FAMOUS
back the Deacs won a national
crown. It is entirely possible that
Donald will excel in both football
and baseball at the Winston-Salem
school. Certainly he is better than
a fair prospect for professional
baseball after college graduation.
Davis has toyed with the idea
of becoming a sports writer, and
he might eventually end up pound
ing a typewriter. Some of the
better scribblers in the business
started out as active athletes, so
he has that much going in his
favor.
If he elects to place college base-
he’ll be overlooked by Major Lea-
chores, there’s little danger that
he’ll be overlooked my Major Lea
gue scouts. Expansion of the
American and National loops has
brought about a shortage of per
formers who can measure up to
Big League requirements. This sit
uation isn’t apt to improve in the
near future.
Because of greed, the Majors
strangled the Minors to death. It
was a costly mistake. Now Big Lea
gues -owners find it necessary to
pay huge bonuses to college play
ers, and have no adequate farm
systems to provide seasoning for
these promising but inexperienced
youngsters.
As a result, rookies reach the
Majors with little polish. A few
are so blessed with talent that
they are able to overcome this
handicap. Most of them are doom
ed to disappointment through no
fault of their own.
Mules only live about 40 years,
but every year has a kick in it.

That he, the deponent, was lately
approved of as guardian to the
children of Mrs. Spaight# and At
torney in fact for Richard B, Jones
and Frances Ann his wife.
That Joseph Leech was the ex
ecutor of Harding Jones.
That a decreed made at April
Term 1806, it appeared that Mr.
Woods on April 19, 1806, paid the
sum of 124.18.8 of which sum
60.18.2 was paid to Mary Vail,
the Administratrix of Thomas Vail.
Among the papers found was
the bond of Mary Vail# Admx. of
Thomas Vail, and no other bond
was found.
With reference to the heirs, two
are dead, and the other gone out
of the United States with her hus
band, who is the United States
Consul at Tripoli, with whom, ow
ing to the war it was impossible to
correspond. They left New Bern
for Philadelphia in the early part
of the year 1810, and Mrs. Spaight
and George M. Leech died about
July, August or September 1810.
Frances Ann Leech# the other
heir, intermarried with Reuben B.
Jones and they came that fall to
New Bern where they staid until
the summer. From the affidavit of
Mr. Hawks it appears that these
notes had been found previously to
this period. Yet no intimation ap
pears to have been given said
Jones or his lady of their being
in the hands of Mr. Woods' Execu
tors, n6r had the deponent receiv
ed any notice of the fact. Signed
