A Pitchers’ Battle Between Turner For
Locals and Edwards For
Leaksville
Greensboro High School’s track team
won first honors in the tri-city track
and field meet, held in 'Winston-Salem,
April 23, 1927. In this meet were
Greensboro, High Point, and 'Winston-
Salem.
Glenn Goodwin, a first year man, won
the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He made
the 100 yards in 10.4 seconds, only one-
fifth of a second slower than the state
record, held by Wade Ison, of Char
lotte.
Captain Clarence Phoenix, living up
to the expectations, smashed the state
record in the mile race. His time was
four minutes, 44 seconds. Phoenix also
won the half-mile event.
In the field events Greensboro was
well represented by Theron Brown, who
won the discus throw and the shot-put.
Brown was high scorer of the meet,
getting third place in the javelin.
Greensboro championship aspirations
were dashed to the ground when the
strong nine touting the colors of Leaks
ville High gained a decisive 12 to 7 vic
tory over the locals in a game staged
at the Memorial Stadium April 27.
Johnny Turner, pride of the local
mound staff, essayed to do the twirl
ing for the localities with Edwards op
posing him on the hillock for the vis
itors. A pitchers’ battle seemed to be
in store for the customers and the stage
seemingly all set for a typical Greens
boro victory with the locals holding a
shade of the best of the argument and
the big end of a 4 to 2 score at the end
of the sixth frame. And then in the
lucky seventh or unlucky, as it were, be
fore the smoke could clear away or the
regulation three men could be retired,
as provided in Mr. Spaulding’s official
set of rules, the lads from down Leaks
ville way had tallied six times. They
scored four more markers in the follow
ing two frames while the locals were
crossing the plate three times.
Here’s a problem for VIr. Farthing
to solve: If Mr. Coltrane’s mustache
is red, what color will “Red” Routh’s
be?
BOYS’ BASEBALL TEAM
DOWNS M’LEANSVILLE
Taylor Allows Visiting Team Only Four
Hits—Whiteheart Leads Purple
and Gold in Hitting
The Greensboro High School base
ball team defeated the McLeansville
high team Saturday, April 23, by the
score of 11-2.
tVyatt Taylor allowed the visitors
only four hits while his team mates
rapped out eight safeties for a total
of sixteen bases. Dick Cox, Greens
boro second sacker, and Forsythe, Mc-
Leansville, gave up eight hits but the
majority of the runs chalked up against
him were unearned.
The Greensboro tallies were made in
the third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and
eighth innings. 'Whiteheart led the
Purple and Gold in hitting, getting
three hits out of four trips to the plate.
Speaking of fads among the fairer
sex, what about those among our gen
tleman pedagogues? We mean their
newly acquired n istaches.
The red one o Mr. Coltrane seems
to be causing the most comment.
G. IT. S. surprised the whole state
in the Civitan track meet held at the
Stadium, April 30. The cinder lads
made a valiant attempt to beat Char
lotte at least once but the time had to
be put off for another season. Char
lotte nosed out the local squad in the
I last event, winning the meet by one
and one-third points. The final score
was: Charlotte, 38 1-3; Greensboro,
37; Wilmington, 14; Roanoke Rapids,
8 1-3; Salisbury, 7; Asheville, G; High
Point, 4 1-3; North MTlkesboro, 1;
Thomasville Orphanage, 1.
Only two men represented 'Wilming
ton ill the meet but they came in third.
Farmer won the 100-yard dash and
220-yard dash. He broke the state rec
ord in the 100-yard semi-finals, riiiining
it in 10 flat. He tied the record in the
finals. In the 220 he clipped 9-5 second
off the mark, lowering it to 22 1-5 sec
onds. Captain Bennett tied Reid of
Charlotte, in the high jump.
Mil stead, of Charlotte, knocked 4-5
second off the 120 low hurdles, running
them in 14 1-5.
Captain Clarence Phoenix and Cap
tain Bill Carbine, of Charlotte, ran the
prettiest race of the afternoon. I’hoenix
led for the first 100 yards when Carbine
passed him. Phoenix gained on him on
the curves and made a beantifiil sprint
the last 100 yards. Carbine had the
