GOOD GAME FOR SEASON'S FIRST Brilliant If Erratic Pitching j By Hollowell for Chowan Won Game But Bestcityl Played Errorless Ball At any time during the season i the ball game between Elizabeth City and Chowan high schools Tuesday afternoon at the Main ?treet park would have been well worth watching. When one takes Into consideration that it was the first contest of the year and that the weather, being cold, dark and win dy, was decidedly unfavorable, the performance of both teams was un expectedly good. Most of those who went expected to see loose playing and errors ga lore. They were surprised to find tight, careful fielding almost all tliej way through. Incidentally Chowan won the bat-; tie by a count of 4 to 2. ' The visi tors hammered the local pitcher; rather heavily. Harris sent only one Chowan batsman back to the bench ' on three strikes while allowing hlsj opponents 10 hits. It must be said i to his credit that he was not overly! wild and allowed only one base on I balls. It is also a fact that tie held I his head well In the pinches and did ! not give way when the bases werej crowded. Smith i?nd Trueblood were credit-! ed with the only hits allowed the Elizabeth City side. Trueblood an?l Mann scored. As Trueblood got 1 two hits he must be considered the; star batsman and runner of his side. | Sanders, SeyfTert and Wllllanjs took care of the outer garden without an i error. Jones on second and True- ! blood on first wore conspicuously on j the alert In the infield and Smith did his stuff hehlud the plate. M. Ward looked mighty good at ; second for Chowan as well as get ting two hits and a run for his team. I W. Bunch and Chappell made dupli cate records at bat and on the bases, while White made two hits without scoring. F. Ward as catcher, and J. Bunch, at short, played on I heir toes until the finish. Hollowell pitched a brilliant if somewhat wild game with 13 strike outs and six walks. The high school students present were enthusiastic rooters, but it would appear to a casual observer that school spirit should bring out about twenty times the number to | support the team.

Well, It was terrible, that Jack DeLaney ? Jackie Clark fight In Newark on ?Monday night. All the (lied In tlw wool fans who took the trip over t'? Jersey from New York to see a r<*g ular 8t. Patrick's Day celebration had nothing but their trip und get ting to bed late for llielr pains. | One thing was certain as soon as the two battlers met In the ring and that was that Jackte wasn't going to run headlong Into any of Dol^in ey's right hand wallops the way Iter lenbach did. lie knew a trick worth two of that. Every time the two came together Clark held 011 for dear life and if Del^aney had the power to wallop Clark while he wns get ting his holds, he didn't show It. As a mild wrestling exhibition, the bout was just this side of rotten, but an a bnxlng match, a crate of t?>n year old eggs had nothing on It. Tho fans who were all for the gor?*. were wild. It was funny to See them In the throes of their disappointment. Well, the Jersey boxing authori ties stood the thing until the eighth round of the projected 12 round bout and then the sri#?l| got so bad that If they had not Interferred, the health authorities would. The men were not only ordered from the ring but their pay wan held up and an In vestigation started. As for the promoters of this show. Berlenbach must be laughing at them loudly and raucously. At least had they not sidetracked Paul there would have been action In the ring. And this Is wbst Is wanted Hi. Patrick's Day. BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball ? If you want a rule interpre ted ? If you want to know any thing about a play or player ? Write to John B. Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today. If you want a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-eddressed en velope. Otherwise your ques tion will be answered in this column. Address: John B. Foster, special baseball correspondent of The Dally Advance. 811 World Building, New York. C*frrl|hl, 1934. b Th# Adtanc* Question ? Runners on third and and second. Batter hits to second; baseman. Runner on third tries for home. Runner on second reaches third. Runner trying for home sees that he cannot make it and goes back to third. Catcher, holds the ball on home plate and , demands an out from the umpire. | Answer ? Catcher Is wrong. There was no force play and the runner I could ?o back to third while the. run ner on third could return to second j which was still his base. Question ? Runner is on second base. Pitcher winds up and throws to the batter. Runner starts for third. Batter pops a fly to third baseman and the ball is caught. Runner claims he is safe because he got to third before the fly was caught. Answer ? Runner Is wrong. The play began with the wind up of the pitcher. Therefore the runner on second must go bark to second after the fly is caught. If he re- 1 mains on third he may be touched out. Question ? On the third strike the batter hits the ball to the ground Immediately in front of home plate. !t hounds up and hits the batter before the latter can leave his posi tion. What Is it? Answer ? Foul ball. If it hits the batter while the latter Is standing in the batter's box. The batter's box is always considered foul ter-j ritory although a little of it Is in ( fair ground.

NO PENNANT SINCE | MERKLE FAUX PAS But San Antonio Where ' Majors Long Have Trained j Finished Second Last Year ! And Hopes Break Jinx By JOHN B. FOSTER Cwiffct. IK?. ? T?< Alow San Antonio, March 19. ? In 1908, which was the year In which the {world was agitated because Fred' I Merkle forgot to agitate second base | | with his foot, San Antonio won a championship in the Texas League. Occasionally they refer to that ! coincidence down here, and so deep ly has the misfortune of Merkle and ! also the Giants of 1908 been en-, graved upon baseball history of the Southwest, that some folks seem to j ! think the Merkle miss and the San1 1 Antonla hard luck are in some way! rented, LI he other cities of the Texas League that angle for champion-] ships, San Antonio has not given up; in its pursuit of the will o' the wisp that has burned before the eyes of.' the Southwestern Texas for 16 year*. I "At least," they say, "we are bet-' ter off than the St. Louis Browns! and the Washington Senators, who have never won championships, and I St. Louis in the National League, j which not only doesn't win, but: stubs its toe when it has a chance j to win." "1 think says Harry Benson, I "that we have a good chance this ? year to do something in San Anton io." That's the mellow optimism of the . I baseball man who goes on from day; to day never giving up in his quest' for the prize. Year after year Ben- j | son has seen the major league clubs ! come to San Antonio and has been j foremost in seeing that thejT were extended a hearty greeting. I The Boston's have turned over to ! the San Antonio Club for further j i seasoning and general development,; Dewey, a pitcher who needs target1 practice; Fuller, second baseman,! who is clever as a fielder, but needs ! more hatting practice; Gross, a! shortstop who was here in 1923, and! Clarence Blatten, a pitcher who was! with Frederick, Maty and last sea- 1 son. These players h.elp a lot In the San ! Antonio infield and with Golloway j at first and Brevold at third, the! team is figuring on speed enough to j make a fight for something just one notch better than second place, be cause last year it was the Fort Worth panthers who won the championship, but San Antonio, with its big bunch of hitters, who crowded Forth Worth | when some of the other clubs failed to do much. After the batting that the San An tonio fans saw in 1923. there is some wonder whether the city ever, will be satisfield again with any-j thing short of wallopers who can pound the ball until the fences ring with the echoes of the cannonade. { The old grounds may pase along with the coming of another season. I San Antonio is growing and localities have shifted as they have in other: cities of Texas. There are more fans to be reached if the diamond is shifted to another quarter of the ci- j ty. But what a flood of memories will go with it. because here, as on no other but of Texas soil, have the! big leaguers fought their spring bat tles with each other and with the! minor leaguers. "But we've got to meet a con stantly growing interest in baseball! in Texas'* said the far seeing owner. | "Not state in the union likes its' baseball better than our's." And that seems to be true when] men and plenty of them will travel night and day all the way to the Bast to see a world series, after hav-| ing gone to their own champion-: ship battles by the trainload. In Prompton Lakes. N. J., an air plane dropped into a house, but it soon wore out its welcome. GOT HIS PEP BACK AGAIN After serving in the U. S. Army for six years in the Philippines, Ed ward Johnson, 306 Lehigh Avenue, Allentown, Pa., returned to this coun try failing in health. "I lost weight, strength and ambi tion," he says. "I would awake and feel as tired as when I went to bed. I felt dizzy, dull and stupid. I had continual headaches and a sensation as of falling. I doctored for the liver and took many remedies. "I saw the Paw Paw demonstra tion and took a bottle of the Tonic. I certainly was surprised at the differ ence in the way I felt. I kept right on taking it and now I feel like I used to. Back to my old pep! I think I am gaining my youth again. | I think Paw Paw Tonic is the great- ; est remedy in the world and recom- j mend it highly." [ Now, YOU try it!
