TABS MEET TRUEWORTHS SATURDAY Crowds Expected For Initial Game Between Two Teams Browning Brothers Probable Batteries For Trueworths The initial game for the True worths and Tabs will take place Saturday at 2 P. M., the only game billed for this week in City League play. Having trounced the Kilo-Swats last week the Trueworths seem to have more power with the stick, picking up more defensive power in some of their reserve strength, this should prove a more interest ing game than expected. The Tabs tagged at Finch of the Bascoes in an effort to get an official league win Saturday but with no avail. After a week’s drilling with their new surround ings the recently organized Tabs will be hard to stop and should give the fans a real treat when they hook-up with the tough True worth outfit. A real hurling duel is anticipat ed when the rival ace righthand ers meet Saturday. T. B. Brown ing of the Trueworths, and Ollie Acree of the Tabs, both these lads have plenty stuff when in the mood and the Tabs or Trueworths want to take third rating in the league standing by a loss in this game, so watch for a real treat on Sim mons field. The opening game between the Kilo-Swats and Tabs was ruled as an exhibition tilt by league of ficials due to the Tabs players performing on the high school team in their game with Mt. Airy Friday week, changing the league standing as below: W L Pt Bascoes _3 0 1000 Trueworths_1 1 500 Kilo-Swats _0 2 0000 Tabs _0 1 0000 Probable line-ups: Tabs—Acree p, Outland c, T.

Will Rogers Picks A Story For This Spot By WILL ROGERS TF YOU'RE anything like me yon A will be about plumb sick of Scotch stories. Everywhere I go people seem to think that the only kind of a humorous story there is is one which deals with the people that wear kilties. However, some times there is one that seeps through with a grain of real humor in it and that's the only reason Fm passing it an to you. Two Scotchmen went fishing with the understanding that the one who caught the first fish would have to pay for the rent of the boat. Sandy had hardly put Ills pole in tho water when he got a bite that al most broke his line, but ho refused to pull up and the fish got away. The other Scotchman was fishing without bait. Schmeling and Dempsey ! Jack Dempsey, •promoter of the, heavyweight battle between Max' • Schmeling, Germany, and Max Baer, California, at New York, June 8, has been a frequent visitor to Schmeling’s training camp as pic* tured here with the German battler.j I ONLY HEARD ! —By— The SPORTS EDITOR Some faets about the Jackets big ball game at Chapel Hill—Pitcher Cockedness dropped the game, and the heavy hitting of all the play ers was marred by Cockedness er rors. Pridgen, playing his last game, looked as if he never played his first game—you could compare him by his motions to an organ grinder on a rainy day, with that mitt be hind home plate. Acree probably was thinking a bout himself hurling from the same mound that Big Smoky Joe Griffith, Carolina U., turned in so many victories this season. Garris, at first, reminded us of little Red Riding Hood with a bucket trying to persuade the wolf to “stay away from my door”, in fact he was very wolfee with his timely smacks (Fouls.) Allsbrook couldn’t hear the Yee poo from Mabel way out on sec ond and almost got mad by actual ly getting a hit, bringing shouts and her cheers from the bleachers. Irvin Dickens on short, was thinking about another year on the Jacket club and he would prob ably be lead off man for the club, he did lead off the ones that struck out And, behold, Capt. William Grant at third. My My! You should have seen how that boy picked those hot grounders up—after the batter had passed second base. Wilton Dickens way out in in leftfield was sure admiring the Carolina track men’s uniforms—to himself—. I wonder if they fur nish you those outfits if you would come to school here. Lefty Starke, grazing in center field—I can’t see who is in the grand stand from here—she said she would be here, I’ll smack one next time up and that’ll fix things. And Henry Hardison planting per-season violets in rightfield— gazing at trackers hurling their javlin spears—those things look exactly like arzan’s arrows. Coach Hoyle—boys with each and every hit I would be able to award the lucky man a free trip to the World’s Fair, barring- Octa gon soap wrappers and Micky Mouse Fops. Above all Jackets don’t forget I Only Heard—it w-asn’t told to me. The Jax broke records in the past three years—but the skirts have the record for breaking dates and D. C. says it isn’t so—but we know who is head man there. There’s the scrub Jacket quar terback who would leave home to seek higher laurels—He thought the road led to Burlington. The Kilo-Swats can make more rules than the big-leagers—if they would stop drawing up plans and turn on some of that Vepco heat they might get off the bottom League raing. After four years of local coach ing Rill Alligood is finally admit ting that he teaches his proteges to play ball. Jas. Simms would leave the star ; Jax football outfit next year to I stay in Littleton where the girls appreciate him.
