High spots in recent player con tracts were reported by the skipper upon his arrival here this week Clarence Tuckey, rookie measuring a mere six feet and six inches has been signed for the first base posi tion.

S. COURTNEY Carolina.. Bird - Lore Some Winter Sparrows, I srful Spar rows Which Are Almost Invariably Taken for English Sparrows . . . When the leaves begin to take on their brilliant tints and the air be gins to feel bracing and cool, then come the white-throats and the song sparrows. Probably the friendliest of the winter sparrows, they may be seen in town and country, garden and thicket. As winter turns into spring and the time of departure nears. the white-throat begins his spring molt ?the townish and white stripes on the head change to distinct black and white A most pleasing song is heard, but both the white-throat and the isong leave before they approacji-ei ! ther full song or plumage. The w hite-throat is larger than the song, has an unstreaked ashy breast, a white throat and a striped head These birds stay on or near the }? ground. often they can be heard scratching among the leaves in a thicket. It is here in large numbers, and it destroys some insects and thousands of tons of weed seed. The st?ng sparrow has a heavily streaked breast, the streaks forming a large central spot The tail is ru ther long and round, as the hird flies. { it moves up and down. The swamp sparrow is small than , the song, tail shorter and less round ed, a dark sparrow with chestnut eap. sides of head and breast gray ' ish, throat white. Frequents low grounds. The Savannah sparrow is found over the State, hut is commoner along the coast. It is smaller than the song, has a short, slightly notched tail, and 1 streaked breast The Seaside is a dark olive-gray, sharp-tailed sparrow of the salt marshes, while the Vesper is distin guished by the white outer tail fca thers. The Field sparrow, a common bird of gardens and old fields, has a-rcd Idish upperpart, clear breast, pink i bill, and strongly notched tail It destroys the boll weevil and otlier insects as we'll as grass seed. The largest and handsomest of our spar rows is the Fox. which has a rufous I coloration, brightest on the tail H is found in lowlands, thickets, and dense woods throughout North Car ! I Glinti N C. Bird Club. Pitta to Growers Get Protection A definite contribution toward the protection of North Carolina's com- | mercial-early Irish potato industry j I has been made this year under a pro I gram of .seed inspection to assure fanneis th.it Itn'V me buying "cor? tilled and selected seed," N. P. Mc ; Duffle, seed potato inspector of the State Department of Agriculture's j markets division said today Knforcing a State Board of Agri culture regulation requiring that j seed potatoes sold in the State "must lie labeled and meet the require 1 ' incuts of U S No. 1 grade,' McDuf fie has just completed an inspec tion tour of North Carolina and re ports that "growers this year can be assured that the potatoes they plant as seed are of the best quality, gen erally, than at any time in the history of the State." In addition to the labeling require merits, the regulations enforced pro vide that "certified seed" must meet the requirements of the State from j which they were shipped and "so ; lected seed" must conform to the guarantees of the shipper. Both se ( lected and certified seed must meet U. S. No. I grade or better stop, Elwood Brown and James K Gainer, catchers. Martin Matuza, utility The sale of booster tickets got un Dick Smith stating that blocks of the bargain cards had been distrib uted, and that while few definite.re ports had been filed the outlook was encouraging. A special appeal is di rected to everyone to support the club by purchasing one of the tick ets. A successful sale will go a long way towards supporting the club, and at the same time effect a saving for the purchaser. Contract terms have not yet been reached.in several cases, but nego tiations are still underway and it is expected that "Chuck" Taylor, out fielder, will return his paper with signature attached during the week end. Negotiations are still being ad vanced for the sale of Lester Rock to a northwest club, but the deal has not yet been closed. Alfred Slakis, the hard-working third baseman from last year's team, has not return ed his contract so far, and there is some doubt if he will return. "Red" Swain is working in a Pennsylvania mill, and it is not certain that he will consider returning to Vhe mound 1 for the Martins this season. Another seasoned prospect continues on the list as a replacement, but no ac tion will be taken in his case just at this time. READY FOR TEST - - By Jack Sords DajV IAU6M ver / // .
