Macon Sports Rounds
By J. P. BRADY

There's a deal under foot lo
cally to start an American Leg
Ion Baseball league in Macon
County. In fact, about the only
thing the proposal needs now
is the backing of the people,
and this column feels that it i:
sure to come. Our folks are to<
sports minded to let somethins
like this go by.
Basically, here's how the situ
ation now stands. Frank PJyler

head of the local Legion post
athletic committee, dropped
down to Sanford a couple of
weeks ago to a state meeting
of the American Legion Junior
Baseball commission, with the
idea of learning how to promote
a league and to advance a pro
posal to set up a league to em
brace all the counties west of
AsVieville.
He told this column on his
' return that the deal was ready
s to be executed and all that's
> needed "is the backing of the
5 people".
Mr. Plyler also said the com
? mission said a league could be
. organized if at least four teams (
? could be rounded up. In our
way of thinking this should be
an easy task.
Naturally, the first thing peo
ple want to know about the
junior league is its purpose and
aim. Well, here is the league's
code of sportsmanship ? we think
that it will clear up any ques
tions anyone has to ask.
"Keep the rules; Keep faith
with your comrade; Keep
your temper; Keep yourself fit;
Keep a stout heart in defeat;
Keep your pride under in vic
tory; Keep a sound soul, a clean
mind, and a healthy body." |
American Legion Junior Base- |
ball competition will be open | J
j only to boys who will not have J
attained their seventeenth p
| (17th) birthday. [a
We think the Legion has hit
1 pay dirt with the deal and
1 would like to see it put across ?
but everyone will have to help.
It takes a little money for
something like this, but that
small amount will go a long
way toward turning our youth
into substantial citizens. Take a
look back up the column at the
legion's code and you'll see
what we mean. j k
For those of you who might
think that it is a waste of time
and money, we would like to
point out some of the lads who
played major league ball last
year ? all graduates of the jun
ior league.
In the American League, the
roster includes Hank Bauer,
Yogi Berra, Ed Lopat, Vic
Raschi, and Coach Tommy Hen
rich, with the New York Yan
kees; Lou Brissie, Bob Feller,
Mike Garcia, the Cleveland In- b
dians: Lou Boudreau, Dom Di- ?
Magglo, Mel Parnell, Ted Wil- y
liams, and North Carolina's 1 S(
Tom Wright, with the Boston ' ]{
Red Sox; another North Caro
linian, Hal Brown, with the
Chicago White Sox? in fact, a
total of 157 players in the
American League are ex- junior
Legion baseballers.
The National League boasts of
Alvin Dark, Wes Westrum, Jim
Hearn, and Coach Herman
Franks, with the New York
Giants; Gil Hodges, PeeWee
10 CIVIL CASES
ARE ON DOCKET
Seven Divorce Suits Also
Slated For Trial At
April Court
Seventeen civil cases are
scheduled to be heard by Judge
Frank M. Armstrong at the
April term of superior court,
which will convene in the Ma
con courthouse Monday.
The civil calendar, made pub
lic this week by Miss Kate Mc
Gee, clerk of court, is a com
paratively heavy one, listing 10
civil actions and seven divorces.
Listed below are the cases,
with the exception of the di
vorce suits. The names of the
ittorneys for the plaintiffs ap
pear in parentheses following
;he names of the plaintiffs and
he names of defense attorneys
ire listed in a like manner.

'r. and J. H. Stockton) vs R. M.
Middle and Arthur I. Rank and
Jaude Mincey Moore and Fair- :
ey Moore (Jones and Jones and ;

Minerals, Inc. (T. D. Bryson, 1

nl Mining company (Jones and 1
ones and Black and Whitaker). 1

he Dodgers; Stan "The Man"
lusial, with the St. Louis Card
[lais. All in all, the nationals |
lave 114 g.rads from the jun- |
)r league. II
It would seem to us that this 1
rould speak for the valuable
ess of the program. Who
nows? Maybe Macon County
.as some lads destined for
ame in the upper brackets of
he baseball world. This junior
sague could find them.
