Summer league mpr o ias i w arsnali; brad ley . e;rc es 0.lC!t Jefs face it The 1931 summer league basebaii team wasn't very good. In fact f wins were the only things that mat tered, it would seem that the season was pretty much of a waste. But, wins were not the only important goals of the players who shared the losses and the few wins this summer. One of the major objectives was to find possible assets for next spring maybe some underrated player, who with a little help and encourage ment could turn out to make big contribu tions. Coach Mike Roberts and Coach Mark Scalf achieved that goal this summer by rediscovering the talents of John Marshall, a transfer from Davidson who had to sit out this past spring season due to the NCAA transfer rule. Coach Scalf said that Marshall has emerg ed from summer baseball with a good deal of improvement and experience under his belt. "John came in here as jusf an average col lege baseball player," Scalf said. "He wasn't very strong physically. But, after this sum mer's season, his strength has definitely im proved. The extra practice has improved both his hitting and his throwing. "One of the biggest things John has going for himself is that he has pne of the best at titudes on the team," Scalf said. "He's in telligent besrdes being a good ballplayer." Scalf said that Marshall is versatile but that he will mostly be used at first base as a back-up to Pete Kumiega Marshall also plays in the outfield and has pitched some. Marshall said that playing in the summer league under Scalf and Roberts has had a lot of rewards even though the team didn't win a lot of games. "The summer season was worth it to me because it got me that much more used to playing under the program at UNC," he said. "I've been able to find out the kind of player thai the coaches expect me to be and I got to play with a few of the. guys who will be here this spring. , j; , ' . "It might not be the funnest summer I've ever had, but it might, turn out to be.. the, most rewarding." t r Marshall said that the real purpose behind the summer league season is to work on in dividual skills and that it gives the coaches time to observe everyone and experiment with new ideas. "Coach Roberts and Coach Scalf put in a lot of time to help me," Marshall said. "I know Coach Scalf used to get to the field at eight in the morning and wouldn't leave un til eight at night. "I remember one particular Saturday night, when Coach Roberts stayed on the field pitching batting practice to me until Bicycle Sales and Service Puch Mopeds ( ) BICYCLE CLOSE-OUT SPECIALS tJ 152 E.

That means a lot to a player." Marshall expects to be used as a utility man filling holes wherever he can whether at first base, in the outfield, as designated hitter, or pitcher. "I want to play and contribute but if I'm not playing I'd like to try to be a good exam ple attitude-wise," Marshall said. "I'm ex cited about the coming season and I think we'll have a good shot at winning the ACC championship." : Former UNC baseball star Scott Bradley is leading his Class A Oneonta Yankees in hit ting and is improving and adjusting to pro ball. "I'm really enjoying being here, this is a real nice town," Bradley said. His eight inn ing home run helped beat the Elmira Red Sox in the Hall of Fame game Monday in Cooperstown. Bradley who is being used as a catcher will play until the end of the season (Sept. 3) and then will play from September until November in an instruction league. Only about 35 players are chosen for the league from all the organizations and Bradley's selection shows that the Yankees have a definite interest in him for the future. r . I J fW r ; - ' 7 Bradley said that he's getting a lot of valuable instruction in Oneonta. "joe Pepitone spent some time with us this sum mer and during the strike two of our coaches were from the major league team," he said. "One of our assistant coaches. Jack Cillis, graduated from Carolina and played with Coach Roberts." Though Bradley has adjusted well, he said the big difference between college ball and pro ball is that he now has to use a wood bat instead of an aluminum bat. .1 i rff ) ' ? is "Homo id vmzro your Kcrcld jo"..'
