Sato-day, -llzy 21, 1CC0 THE DAILY TAH HEEL '! f ft it n m wit f " ffJ. i rij'J CHARLOTTE fflSH FOR STATE TITLE Fast Mound Duel Between Bail ey and Gadd Expected In Class A Championship Game This Afternoon. Two of the best high school pitchers developed in North Car olina in years will be seen in ac tion in what should be a cork ing good mound duel when Char lotte and Raleigh high teams meet on Emerson field here this afternoon at 3 o'clock for the class A high school baseball title of the state. , Reference is to Captain Tom Gadd of Charlotte and Allen Bailey of Raleigh, who "are slat ed to oppose one another on the mound in this final, champion ship battle. Gadd, who is. reported to be under close surveillance, by the Big League scouts already, has been doing sensational hurling for Charlotte all season. Bailey in his last game, in which Ral eigh beat Durham 5-0 for, the eastern title, held Durham to three hits and struck out seven men to show once again his high calibre as a pitcher. Both men, oddly enough, rank with their teams' best hitters and hit in the clean-up post. And indeed, Bailey drove in three of Raleigh's five runs in the vie tory over Durham for the east ern title. Their meeting here today will not only decide the much - discussed question of which is the better high school pitcher, but also of which is the better hitter. ' Charlotte arrived at the Hill yesterday in time for a workout on Emerson field in the after noon, but the Raleigh nine is not expected until today. Neither team last night had announced the lineups that would be started around the rival aces Gadd and Bailey. DECATHLON FOR INTRAMURAL MEN MONDAY-TUESDAY ine aecatnaion, wnicn is staged annually by the intra1 mural department will be held Monday, and Tuesday of next week. This meet will be divided into two sections, the open de cathalon for all students in the University regardless of past athletic experience, and the no vice decathalon for all those who have never made a numeral or a letter in track athletics at the University. The events of the meet are to be the 100 yard dash, 10 low hurdles, quarter-mile run, three quarters mile run, pole vault, high jump, broad jump, shot put, discus, and javelin. In or der to make the meet run as smoothly as possible, it has been arranged that the events continue for two days. Those events which will be staged Monday afternoon begin ning at 3:00 are as follows: 100 yard dash, quarter-mile run, high jump, shot put, and discus. All of the remaining events will be run off on the following after noon.'. CAROLINA CO-EDS TENNIS VICTORS ' The co-ed tennis team won a fast set from the Raleigh tennis cl ub Friday after noon, losing only one match. The game con sisted of four singles matches and one doubles, of which the co-eds won three singles and the doubles. The high scorer was Evelyn Way, winning "from' Ann Lawrence of Raleigh by a 'score of 6-0; 6-1. ; The results of the other matches were: Ida Currie (C) wm from Martha Galloway 8-6, 6-3 ; Lillie Jackson (C)' won from SPORTS CHATTER r :.'( Hp " - - " ; By Hugh WUson It looks like the f rosh base ballers are headed places with the intention of doing things in a big way next year. A record of twelve victories and five de feats, with the majority' of the defeats in early season, should bring good cheer to Coach Ash- more's heart. He can use some of those, speedy pitchers, and the whole club bristles with heavy hitters to fill the holes left in varsity ranks. "Coach Bob" Fetzer will also have some good new material to draw on for his track team. Drane, Marland, and Wornom in the sprints, I)avis and Stafford in the hurdles, Jensen and Jones in the middle distance runs, Cor dle in the two mile, and Mitcham and Watkins in the 440 should certainly add to the strength of the Tar Heel cinder squad next year. An odd reversal in the publi city tactics of the two leading candidates for the world's heavy weight boxing championship has occurred recently. Jack Sharkey has stepped out of his usual role of the "Garrulous Gob" in fact he hasn't even named the round in .which he will knock Schmeling out and Schmeling, casting aside his custom Of deep silence, has been announc ing far and wide that he is go ing to take the title back to the Fatherland when "Der Max" re turns home. The people who said that Babe Ruth was through certainly ought to look for something to hide -under. , Six home runs in two days constitutes an all time record, for major league bound ary busters, and when the four baggers were made off the star pitching staff of the world's champions, it is surely to be doubted that Ruth is washed up as a major leaguer. George Simpson will soon have a chance to prove to the I.A.A.F. that his mark. of 9 2-5 seconds for the 100 yards, made with starting blocks, was not a fluke and should be , given precedence as a world's record bver Eddie Tolan's 9.5 second 100 yards, made, without starting, blocks, when he and Tolan meet in the sprints of the Big Ten track meet. Last year Tolan beat Simpson in the 100 in this meet in 9.5, but Simpson came back to win the 220 in the record time of 20.6 seconds. Since the ques tioning of the legality of sever al of the marks made by Simp son last year with the aid of starting blocks, Simpson has been waging a sort of vindica tion campaign to prove the au thenticity of his marks. In the Penn Relays, he equalled his" record of last year which was still under discussion as to its approval because of the use of the 'blocks covering the 100 in & 3-5 seconds. He will run in the conference meet against the Michigan negro without start ing blocks in an attempt to again cross the finish in 9 2-5. Dusty Cooke, Yankee recruit and former star of George Whit wi'a Thirham Bulls who was played up to high heaven by the pre-season dopesters, has be come much more like a placid cow than a fiery bull. At the last reading, Dusty had the enormous total of three singles to his credit, and was leading HinesV 57 varieties in the bat ting averages by 12 points, hav ing a percentage of exactly .069. Mrs. Elms 9-7, 6-1, 6-4 ; Mary Lewise Carpenter lost to Mrs. Page 6-1, 6-0 ; Clyde Johnson and Mary L. Carpenter (C) won from Mrs. Page and Ann Law rence 6-3, 6-5. - in i3 -ENVIAR E RECORD Carolina Freshman Holds Many National and State Prep School Records. (By Dan Kelly) ... In looking over the list of outstanding freshman perform ers on the Carolina track this past year, the author finds that Clarence Jensen is the. fastest distance man on the squad. Jensen comes from East Or ange, N. J., where running is in style, and he truly shows that he is not to be trifled with as a competitor. Jensen began his track career four years ago while a student at Newark Prep School. . While in school there, he competed in many major meets, winning the state cham pionship in the cross country two-mileace in 1926. He was also one of the four trackmen who won first place in the mile relay for prep schools during the Ohio State relays. At the University of Chicago and at Yale, Jensen won first places in distance contests, ' in the prep school meets held there. He held the distance championship of his native county for three suc cessive years. Continuing his prep school track work in 1928, Jensen won all dual meet cross country events that he entered and de feated the -state chamoion of New York prep schools. He won the eastern interscholastic two-mile run, and captured third place in the mile 15 minutes later. In the cross country race held at Columbia University, he placed third in a field of over 400 competitors from various east ern states. In the Middle At lantic prep school championships held at Philadelphia, Jensen suc L in the bo in a O l2f, Lisssn & Uzm TojiiccoCo. ceeded in breasting the tape in record time, defeating the best runners in the eastern prep schools. At Bowdoin College and at Boston U., he finished first in the distance runs, climaxing a successful prep school record. Since entering the University of North Carolina last fall as a freshman, Jensen has continued his stellar . performances on the cinder path and has been beaten only once, which defeat he avenged later. The race he lost was. on a strange and difficult track with which his opponent was familiar. - His opponent met him later and was beaten by a wide margin. Jensen has been one of the representatives of the North Carolina freshman relay racers at the Georgia Tech relays and Greensboro freshman relays held recently. In those races the North Carolina freshmen won first place in record time. In one of the most interest ing races which was held this past season, Jensen defeated the former chamoion . American miler and former University of North Carolina star, Galen El liott, in a three-quarter mile race completed in 3 minutes 16 sec onds. Baseball Results AMERICAN Detroit-Chicago -rain.

Big league scouts who have trailed the Duke Universitv baseball team ever since Jack Coombs, former big time star, took over the coaching reins, reaped the fruit of their efforts recently by signing five of the finishing Blue Devils for big time baseball. Two others were signed by minor league clubs. The men signed, their posi tions and home towns follow : Bill Werber, shortstop, Ber- wyn, Md., New York Yankees. Roland Farley, third baseman, Danville, Va., St. Louis Cardi nals.; " Henry Kistler, first base, Charlotte, and Ernest Jenkins, pitcher, Gastonia, Philadelphia Athletics. ' Gene Belue, pitcher, Gaffney, S. C, Pittsburgh Pirates. L. A. (Nick) Warren catch er, Durham Baltimore Orioles. Lee Hawkins, pitcher,' Char lotte, Charlotte (Sally League). Bill Werber, sensational short stop for the Devils, signed a contract with the Yankees that any college ball player could be proud of. It is said that the young Duke star got a huge bonus as well as a good salary. Werber reports to the Yankees at Chicago on June 3. It is re ported that he got $2,400 for signing the contract and also that there was a "not to be farmed out" clause in the docu ment. Werber had a batting record of an even .400 this sea son. Farley, who signed with the N 0: j If i 3 f Cardinals, has kft to. join the Cardinals. aV St, Louis. He is also ; said" to-" have received a handsome figure for signing, a bonus and a good salary. He batted J4 S3 during the past sea son. " ' 7 ; Kistler,' Duke's fence-busting king, and Ernest Jenkins, the star southpaw, pitcher, were tak en in by Ira Thomas, a former battery, mate, of Coach Coombs when the .two played for the Athletics." . Following examina tions the two will report at Phil adelphia. It is likely that they will be farmed out for further seasoning, but their destination was not learned. Kistler hit over ;400 for the second consecu tive season. " Warren, of Durham, captained the Duke team through the past season and , has been varsity catcher for three, years. The past year was perhaps the great est of his career and he signed with Baltimore only after re fusing another offer in the Inter national League. He receives a bonus and will get a good salary. He batted .354 last season. Lee Hawkins, hard hitting pitcher-outfielder, lives in Char lotte .and had, been assured the contract some time ago. His work on the pitching staff was a help to the Devils this year, as his list of victories by far out numbers the number of defeats counted against him. He is a lefthander. ,vr Belue, f another southpaw, rounded out puke's veteran pitching crew- this year. He was approached? by ' the Pirates be fore entering Duke and after four years Tiere formally signed the: contract last night. Miss Margaret McConnell, of Gastonia,' a student at N. C. C. W., came up last week end for the dances and -was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John E; Lear. !LD...nd,ytt : TH5Y ZAVCTt CnOSS-tlE wll:.
