TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1942 The Tar Heel PAGE THBES D "a" i All own i he r 1 1 by Westy Fenhagen Carolina's Pride and Joy " e y 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. .. Here and There: The wear of constant tournament competition is begin-' ning to tell on Harris Everett, stellar Tar Heel tennis captain of last spring. Playing in all the major tourneys around the country this summer while Cadets Beaten By Goldsboro In Sunday Tilt 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.

Poor boy. . . . Did someone all the way around on Tutt's sharp say something about the Cardinals being outclassed because of their poor single but a beautiful peg from deep hitting and lack of punch at the plate? Latest figures show the Red Birds right field to the catcher who relayed right on top of the heap in hitting while their vaunted fielding rates them it to the pitcher covering the plate only sixth position among the league clubs. . . . Red Benton is certainly nailed him by two feet. Tutt went to making his exit from baseball in sterling fashion. Scheduled to join the second on the throw in, stole third Navy on August 14, Red has turned in 13 victories against only four setbacks and trotted home on Cunningham's since joining the league-leading Wilson Tobs of the Bi-State League in long fly.

The Orange Printshop Chapel Hill 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; simultaneously at the other Pre-Flight i Pre-Flight Unit Boxing Reaches Semi-Final Round Thirty-two men will be left by the wayside tomorrow as the Carolina Pre-Flight boxing tournament enters the semi-final round with 32 boxers in the peak of condition prepare to do battle.
