The Yankees have been dead for a couple of years. Their death was pronounced with the departure of. such greats as Bobby Richardson, the gentlemanly second baseman from Sumter, S.C. It was pronounced when Tony Kukeb left for the Army and couldn't whip himself back to the old Tony after his discharge. Mickey Mantle, one of the alMime greats, keeps trying and doing well, but he's just not the same old slamming Mantle. There are others many others. The ones who once made the Yanks an almost unbeatable crew year in and year out. But they're gone. now. The way has to be made for some young promising talent. I had the opportunity to observe three of these young hopefuls in their first year of professional baseball. It was in Shelby, N.C. where the Yankess fielded a class A farm club for two seasons. Outfielder Steve Whitaker; third baseman Mike Ferraro and pitcher Fritz Peterson were among the bright eyed hopefuls to erace the Shelby diamond. Whitaker, who has already played his first season in Yankee Stadium, was the Shelby team's slugger. .He hit 21 home runs in his first season there a league record. , There was never any doubt in the rninds of the Yankee front office big wigs that Steve could make the majors if he could over come one problem his temper.. Besides setting the home-run record, Steve came close to setting the league record for being thumbed from games by the umpire. ' " " . . . He wouldn't get mad at bad calls or what he thought were bad calls. He fought with himself. A ground out to the infield was cause enough for him to throw his batting helmet against the fence. A league rule prohibited this. - Steve seems to have overcome that problem and if he has, he could be the next Yankee superstar. a. la. Roger; Maris.

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the tenth inning, Bobby Elliott drew a walk to salvage a 3-2 UNC victory over Virginia in the second game ofa doubleheader. The Tar Heels lost the opener, 4-1. The twin bill lasted five hours and the second contest went three extra innings before Carolina pushed over the decisive run. David Lemonds was the win ner in relief for the Heels. His record is now 2-1. The sophomore lefthander struck out five in his five inning stint. John Yarey started for UNC, going five innings-and allow ing two runs on two hits. He struck out six. Bill Kelley was the loser for the Cavaliers. He went all the way in evening his record at 2-2. Carolina brought its season's record to 3 after the SDlit. run over the right center field fence. The Heels broketheir scor ing drought in the bottom of the fifth. Elliott reached second on a baseman Boger and Doug Lanham got an infield hit Bill Estes walked to load the bases and one out later Lemonds, pinch hitting for Yancey, hit a sacrifice fly to score Elliott. Carolina notted the score in the sixth ; Charlie Carr and Elliott con secutively singled with one out and Lanham walked . to load the bases once again. Eddie Hill then lifted a sacrifice fly to 'center and Carr raced home. Neither team could score in the regulation seven innings and Lemonds repeatedly was in a jam until the tenth. Virginia filled the bases with none away in the seventh but a double play and strikeout saved him.

First, have somebody pour several brands of beer into glasses. Now stick your nose close to the foam of each glass and take a sniff. Notice a difference? The one with the clean, fresh aroma is Budweiser. Now taste. This gets a bit tricky. But the one beer that tastes like beer with out any one flavor jump ing out at you (like hops, or an extra sweetness, or sometimes a sour or sharp taste) is Budweiser.That's because Budweiser is mel lowedby our Beech wood Ageing. We want you to taste the beer, not the recipe. If anybody pulls a beer-tasting test on you, now you know how to win. Just follow your nose. xs. Shows: 2-4:25- KING OF BEERS ANHEUSER-BUSCH. INC, ST.
