The Little General George Stirnweiss is really running wild on the base
paths this season for Newark of the International League.
Not content with stealing twice as many bases as anybody in the majors
so far this season, George is bidding fair to set a new league record for
pilfered sacks m one season. Already he has run up a total of 52 bases
stolen compared with George Case's 22, tops in the majors this year. Playing
second base and batting m the number two slot, Stirnweiss is hitting only
.286 but a large share of his 108 hits have been for extra bases and his 9
circuit clouts have been good for 56 runs batted in.
Rated by writers as the outstanding second sacker in the minors, Stirny
will probably get his crack at the big time next season. With Joe Gordon
having a stranglehold on second base, Stirnweiss will in all probability be
given a fling at third for the Yanks where Red Rolfe is singing his swan
bong and Gerald Priddy is batting a ccol .261.
Most Valuable Player? ? ?
If Ted Williams keeps up his present batting pace, he won't be robbed of
the "Most Valuable Player's Award" this year as he was last year. At least
Joe Dimaggio won't get it.
Off to a very slow start this season, Ted's potent war club has waded
into American League pitching and brought his average all the way up
to .350 where it resides at the moment. In addition to outdistancing the rest
of the league in this respect, Williams also leads the circuit in runs scored,
home runs, and runs batted in and if he had gotten' off to a better beginning,
he would be probably roosting around the .400 mark.
It would seem that in spite of a quick temper and resentment of criti
cism, Williams would be more appreciated by his Boston fans who appar
ently don't realize to what depths the Red Sox would sink without their
meal ticket.

Navy Scores Win
Over Fort Bragg:
The Carolina Pre-Flight baseball
team split even in a pair of weekend
contests, winning a" 7-1 triumph over
the Fort Bragg Hospital 'Base team
on Saturday afternoon and dropping
a 10-5 decision to the Goldsboro Ath
letic club on Sunday.
A game Wednesday afternoon with
the Alamance County All-Stars is
pending but the Navy will be at home
on Saturday afternoon to engage the
Goldsboro Athletic Club which de
feated them last Sunday.
In the Fort Bragg game, the cadets
pounded out their seventh success of
the summer season in easy fashion
by whacking out eight timely singles
off the offerings of Rhoden while Wil
liams and.Hanley held the opposition
to five scattered hits. Williams got
credit for the win, his second of the
season against two setbacks. The Med
icos whom the cadets had beaten twice
previously threatened to score in the
initial frame but smart infield play
choked off the threat. In the second
inning, a double and two infield outs
brought home the visitors' only tally.
In Fort Bragg's half of the first
session, Stansberry and Covallis both
hit with none away. Jones then

Sunday's game against Goldsboro
was a different matter with the Navy
being behind from the beginning and
failing to catch up. Making his debut
for the cadets was Ray Roche, for
mer Baltimore Orioles hurler who has
been inactive for over a month and
was not at his best. Roche was given
a very discordial reception and driven
to the showers in the second frame
after Goldsboro had made seven hits
good for six runs in the first two in
nings.
Suggs led off the first for Golds
boro with a sharp double. Johnson hit
an infield grounder which was played
at third base in an effort to get Suggs
but everybody was safe. After Mon
tague had skied ,out, Murray singled
and Clyde King homered to account
for four runs. Three consecutive hits
coupled with an infield out added two
more tallies in the second and was
enough to send Roche to the showers
for the day.
The Navy made a game effort to
come in the fourth when, .trailing 7-0,
they rallied for six straight hits and
five runs. Deutsch started things with
r 11 - 1 ?i.
a single ana spinner ioiiowea sun.
Tutt drove them both home with a
sharp double to left. Sabo scored Tutt
with another safety and after steal
ing second rode home on Cunning
ham's base knock. After Art Harri
son had singled him to second, he
was caught at third on a fielder's
choice, Harrison advancing to second
on the play. He later scored on an
infield out. Although they threatened
several more times, the Navy could
get no more runners home.
Goldsboro sewed np the game with
two more counters in the fifth and one
in the sixth to complete the' scoring.
Visiting Coaches Given
Taste of Navy Cadets Life
Probably the most tired people on earth last night were the more than
150 coaches and physical education instructors who had just finished the first
day of their 13-day coaching program.
The enrollees in the annual coaching school, this year sponsored largely
by the Naval Pre-Flight school, registered yesterday morning at Alexander
dormitory and had their first official meeting at 1 o'clock when director of
the school, Coach Bob Fetzer, Com-
mander O. O. Kessing, commanding
officer of the Pre-Flight school, Lt.
Comdr. J. P. Graff, executive officer,
Lt. Comdr. Harvey Harman, director
of athletics, and Lt. Thomas Car
ruthers, assistant director of athletics,
spoke to the group in Gerrard hall.
Yesterday afternoon was spent in
learning the rudimentary principles of
drilling on Emerson field and today
the men began their full program of
athletics, lectures by noted Navy
coaches, and observance of the cadet
program.
The members of the school are liv
ing under much the same schedule
as the Pre-Flight cadets from reveille
in the morning at 7:30 until taps at
9 o'clock in the evening.
The enrollment includes coaches and
instructors from high schools' and col
leges of the Eastern seaboard.
Similar coaching schools emphasiz
ing the importance of physical train
ing in war time are being conducted;

semi-finals will meet Friday night in

The bouts so far have run accord

Kappa Sigma-Zeta Psi 6; BVP 0
Chi Phi 5; Sigma Nu 2
SAE, behind the relief pitching of
Henry Garwes, went into extra in
nings in their game with Old East,
but finally pushed across two runs in
the 11th to take the game 6 to 4.
This marked the third win for SAE
against no defeats.
In the top of the first inning SAE -got
three hits and Old East making
two errors, pushed in four of their
runs. Garwes and Howard Hodges
were safe on errors with two away
when Wilcox doubled to drive them
across. Wood singled to score Wilcox,
and Rumph drove in Wood with an
other single.
Old East rallied in the second inning
to score two runs. Williams and Shep
ard, first up in the inning, both sin-
I gled, and after Levin was out Morgan
singled to drive the runs in.$
With the game practically won,
SAE relaxed long enough in the bot
tom half of the seventh to let Old East
tie up the count on an error and two
singles.
From here to the top of the 11th
frame the game was scoreless, and
neither team had enough punch to
drive in a run although both sides
had men on base. In the 11th Garwes,
the leadoff man, laid a single into
right field, and Sprunt brought him
home with another single. Wilcox
doubled to drive in Sprunt.

singled, scored when White hit safely.
The sixth inning saw Kappa Sig-Zete
score its last three runs on two er
rors, two fielder's choices, and a
single.

in the second inning and one each in
the third, fourth, and fifth to win over
Sigma Nu 5 to 2.
