Both of those games will be hard early season tests for the Duncanites and will go far toward telling the prospects for the remainder of the campaign. The Carolina mentor is still building , his pitching staff around Bill Poyner and Ed Mackie. Poyner has been working daily in the practice games between the first team and the "yannig&ns" and looks good for his best year since he donned the Tar Heel uniform. Mackie, south paw ace of the 1925 Tar Babies, has been bothered with a sore arm during the last week, but with warmer weather his arm should round into shape. Other hurlers who have been getting their chances in the practice tilts are Routh, Westmoreland, and Sapp. Stanton, flrst-sacker on the 1925 var sity, looks- like a fixture around the first base, as does Bob Sides at second. Four men have been working well on the other side of the infield, however, and it is uncertain who will hold down the shortfield and third base berths.
