Coach Ham Stray horn, whose team
meets its first stiff competition
against Burlington High this after
noon. TAR BABIES PLAY
BURLINGTON HIGH
THIS AFTERNOON
Ham Strayhorn and his freshman
baseball team will move over to Em
erson stadium at 3:16 this afternoon
to give the Carolina student body and
Burlington high school an inkling of
what went on during the three game
series which the Tar Babies took
from .Wardlaw prep on intramural
field.
Henry Feimster, the lad who struck
out a' mere 13 batters in six innings
last Monday, will take the mound
against Burlington this afternoon. In
case he gets into trouble . . . and even
if he doesn't . . . John Cheshire will
probably pitch the last two or three
innings. The chunky southpaw ran
up twelve strikeouts in six innings of
relief hurling against Wardlaw.
Harold Pope was Strayhorn's choice
for the backstop post. The St. Peters
burg, Fla., catcher collected three hits
the last time he played, and looked
pretty good on the pegs.
Strayhorn is counting on his regu
lar sluggers the ones who accounted
for thirty-eight hits and thirty-two
runs during . the Wardlaw series to
join Pope in the batting parade.
Among the boom boom boys are Ernie
Carraway, batting .462 with three
triples to his credit. .Tom Frye, hit
ting an even .500, Bo Reynolds, Bob
Gersten and Popeye Jones.
This array of freshman warriors
will be facing what is supposed to be
one of the toughest high school nines
in the state. Burlington gave the Tar
Babies a close fight last season, and
Strayhorn wouldn't be a bit surprised
if they did the same this time.
Burlington will provide the f rosh
with their first real test, as the Ward
law prep outfit was decidedly out of
its class when it faced the Tar Babies.
The probable starting lineup , is:
Gersten, 2b, Miller, cf, Frye, ss, Car
raway, rf, Reynolds, lb, Thompson,
If, Jones, 3b, Pope, c, and Feimster, p.
Varsity Begins Early
Due to the freshman game with
Burlington high school this after
noon at Emerson field, the varsity
will begin practice at 1 o'clock.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C SATURDAY, APRIL
MALLORYVOWS
BETTER ffiTMG
By SHELLEY ROLFB
Jim Mallory, who joined the Caro
lina baseball team this year with a
glittering football record and a slug
ging, if none too efficient, batting
mark with Ham Strayhorn's freshmen
last season, failed to get a hit in five
trips to the plate last Thursday when
the Tar Heeels opened their 1939 sea
son by battering Springfield, 10-4, but
take it from Big Jim he wont lan
guish very long down with the low hit
ting boys. "I've always been a poor
starter at the bat," Mallory said at
practice yesterday, "but 111 hit a lot
better before the end of the cam
paign." -
And by way of proving that he was
eminently correct, he went out and
made three hits in four trips to the
plate in the practice game the first
stringers won, 18-1, collecting a triple,
two singles and sending home two
runs. Jim's stickwork yesterday cli
maxed a week of training activity
which has seen him beat the cover off
the ball. In the last five practice bat
tles he has racked up 10 hits in 22
trips to the plate including two home
runs, two triples, a double and seven
runs batted in.
MISSES LEAGUE TITLE
Jim proved his slow starting argu
ment last year, batting .266 with the
freshmen, although getting plenty of
distance with the few hits he did make,
and then batting .410 during the sum
mer with Lawrenceville, va., in a
semi-pro league. Mallory missed the
league batting title only because
George Nethercutt, Tar Heel co-cap
tain and catcher, was around to hit
.420 and help win the loop champion
ship for Roanoke Rapids.
Mallory turned outfielder with the
freshmen last year after he had con
vinced himself at Fork Union military
academy that he was not a pitcher.
"The prep school coach made me pitch
because we didn't have anybody' else
io pitch," Jim 'said. "Well, I won four
and lost four, and right then and
there I made my mind up. I wasn't
going to be a pitcher. I played the
outfield in high school before going
to Fork Union."
BEST OUTFIELD ARM"
- Although he may have decided he
was not' a pitcher, Jim has the best
arm of any of the Tar Heel outfield
ers this year. And he is an efficient
citizen chasing fly balls and hits. He
was a fielding star with the freshmen
last year, and Jim offers evidence as
he moves into another season of be
coming even a brighter one this
spring.
All in all, if Mallory can carry out
his promise to get out of his early
season slump and continue his slug
ging activities of the past training
week work into the regular season, he
promises to make Carolina one good
outfielder. And he will have to, for
he's filling Tom Burnette's shoes in
center, and anything less than the best
will cause the shoes to rattle..
The first stringers spared little
mercy with the subs yesterday, col
lecting 18 runs on 15 hits. . . . Bud
Hudson pitched the full nine innings
for the varsity, allowing five hits and
fanning four men. . . . Bud will prob
ably get the mound call Tuesday when
the Tar Heels play Harvard. . . .
Three other games are scheduled for
next weekv . . . Washington and Lee
comes into Emerson field Thursday,
Cornell Friday and the lads travel
down to Davidson Saturday. . . .
George Stirnweiss left for home late
Thursday night because of illness in
his family. ... He is expected back by league last year, was reported ready to

Golfers Open Season Against
Hampden-Sydney Here Today
By JERRY STOFF
Opening a ten meet dual schedule,
the Carolina eolf team will face
Hampden-Sydney at 9 :30 this morn
ing in the season's curtain-raiser, on
the HiUandale course in Durham. -
Neil Herring, stellar letterman, to
gether with Hudson Boyd and Charlie
Diffendal, other lettermen on the
squad, will lead the Heel golfers this
morning. Frosty Snow, sophomore,
will also start. Clarence Kluttz, let
terman, who was out last season with
a foot bruise, will return to competi
tion this season, but is not expected
to play this morning.
ROBERSON AND CARR
Foy Roberson and Albert Carr
round out Coach Chuck Erickson's
linksmen, who rate tops in the South
ern conference this year along with
the Duke Blue Devils, who took the
circuit title with ease last season. The
Tar Heels dropped but three meets
last year and are slated to ride
through the present schedule with an
even better slate.
In addition to dual meets, there will
be three tournaments on the season's
schedule: the Southern Intercollegiate
at Athens for individual and team
honors, the State tourney and the Con
ference meet.
Intersectional meets are plentiful,
with Duke, Wake Forest and David
son as the only State competition. The
Tar Heels will oppose Georgia Tues
day in the morning and Dartmouth in
the afternoon as the first of a series
of intersectional matches.
Freshmen Netmen
Face Durham High
With a "better than average' team,
Coach John Kenfield sends his Caro
lina freshman tennis outfit against an
invading Durham high squad in the
opening match for both teams on the
home courts at 2:30 this afternoon.
After two weeks of steady practice,
the Tar Baby net squad is well pre
pared for the high school racquet
wielders and is looking forward to an
easy opening match.
Kenfield has placed Sonny Jordan,
formerly of -Woodberry Forest, in the
number one spot, and the battle be
tween Jordan and Durham's Jack
Markham on the number one court
promises to be a tough one for both
players.
Like most , high school squads, the
Durham outfit boasts outstanding
men in the number one and two posts,
but lacks reserve power in the other
positions. .
Carolina's hope in the second sin
gles lies with Ham Anthony, who gain
ed his experience at West Palm Beach
high. Ran Few of the Bulldogs will j
oppose Anthony. Blair Rice of the
Tar Babies will fight it out with Jack

with the National league. We are leav
ing the conference with no hard feel
ings between either the University or
the conference, we just feel the teams
in the National league ' more closely
conforms to our ideas of scholarship
and athletics."
"WE DONT GIVE A - - -"
The sudden move by North Carolina
left the rest of the conf rence amazed.
Duke, which entered the Coast-to-Coast
attractive offers to prominent players
in the league. State officials made no
official moves last night, waiting word
from Charlotte as to what action to
take. .
President Frank Porter Graham of
the University could not be reached
for a statement.
Officials of the Athletic association
would not issue statements, saying
things were happening to quickly.
Coach Rar Wolf, displaying his usual
pessimism, said, "We expect a tough
season. All of our boys will probably
turn up injured before the start of the
season. But we expect to have a team."
Meanwhile players on the Carolina
team were reported to be ready to de
mand their present salaries next fall.
An unidentified player was quoted as
following, "Even if we are entering an
actual professional league, I do not be
lieve they should cut our pay checks
to the professional level. If necessary
I will return to the coal mines rather
than play football for regular profes
sional salaries."

(Special to the Daily Tar Heel)
GAINESVILLE, Fla., March 31.
Meet officials have all in readiness for
the first annual Florida relays which
are to be held here tomorrow on the
University of Florida campus." Among
the schools entered is the University
of North Carolina with 15 entries.
In its first year, the relays are open
to schools and colleges in the 12 South
ern states in which the Southern and
Southeastern conferences are located.
In addition to North Carolina, power
ful teams from Louisiana State, Ole
Miss and Alabama are expected.
RELAYS DOMINANT
The main program of the meet is
to consist of relay races, including the
quarter mile relay, one mile relay,
sprint medley relay, and the one mile
team race. The last, the equivalent of
a four mile relay, is run by teams
of four milers who are scored as in
cross country. A standout perform
ance in the two mile relay is expected
to be put on by North Carolina's team
of White, Morrison, Hendrix and Da
vis who ran '7:48 to win their event
in the Millrose games for the second
successive year.
For the Tar Heels, tomorrow's meet
will be the first outdoor competition
