STOCKTON PITCHES
NO-HIT GAME HERE
Chatham Hurler Misses
Perfect Game By
Walking One Man
Harvey Stockton, popular hurler
of the Chatham Blanketeers, pitched
superb ball here last Friday after
noon to shut out' the Young's
Transfer Team, of Winston-Salem,
in a no-hit game, 17 to 0.
Stockton spoiled his chance of
pitching a perfect game of ball
when, in the ninth, with two out,
he walked a man, the only walk he
allowed during the game.
Not satisfied with merely pitching
a no-hit, no-run game, the Chatham
pitcher also went on a hitting spree,
getting four for four to lead his
mates in that division.
Stockton's no-hit game was the
first ever witnessed in Chatham
Park.
In the game Thursday with Duke
Power Co., of High Point, Chatham
chalked up a big score to win easily.
Saturday, playing a Durham team,
they won to the tune of 15 to 3.
Games this week-end follow: to
day, North Wilkesboro at North
Wilkesboro; Friday, Adams-Millis
Co., of High Point, here; Saturday,

MR. PYRON VISITS
MOST FAMOUS CALF

States That Klondike
Iceberg Is In Won
derful Condition
Klondike Icebei-g, the most fa
mous calf in the world, due to the
fact that it was born while its moth
er was in transit with Admiral
Richard E. Byrd to Little America,
was on exhibition Wednesday at the
Commodore hotel in New York City,
during the meeting there of the
American Guernsey Cattle Club.
The calf arrived at Quantico, Va.,
last week, and from there was trans
ferred to New York. It was at first
planned to ship him via plane, but
due to his size it was found that)
such a procedure would necessitate
changing the interior of the plane.
The calf weighs around 1,200
pounds.
Thurmond Chatham, owner of
Klondike farm and the owner of the
famous calf, and Ruolis Pyron, man
ager ol Klondike Farm, visited the
calf on board ship at Quantico.
Mr. Pyron stated that the animal
was a perfect specimen and had
been raised with even better care
than he would have received if he
had been born at Klondike.
Iceberg is so gentle, although
nearly a full-grown bull now, that
it hasn't been necessary to put a
ring in his nose, Mr. Pyron said, and
Edward Cox, who has cared for the
animal since its birth, states that
not going to let anyone do it.
following the exhibition in New
York Klondike Iceberg will go on a
year's tour of the United States,
Mr. Pyron said.
