Jax Open Baseball
Drills; 35 Report
-_n
Over thirty five aspirants for
the local high Yellow Jacket base
ball team reported to coach Cran
ford Hoyle last week in prepara
tions for the coming ’35 season.
Prospect looks good for another
wining team again this year with
only two jobs left open on the in
field but the pitching material will
be short this year with only one
veteran back. Drills have gone
under way for over a week without
the services of coach Hoyle who
is confined to his bed with the
“Mumps”; however, this hasn’t let
up the stiff pacing the Jackets
are setting without their men
tor.
Fly chasing, batting sprints and
warming up exercises are the
chief setups so far with th eloeals:
infield and other practical train
ing will get attention next week.
The first game will likely be play
ed here the last week of March.
The First state class B conference
game will be with Elizabeth City
there on April 7th.

The contribution of the auto
mobile industry toward nation
al business recovery in 1934 was
shown graphically today in a
recapitulation of national auto
mobile registration figures of
the Ford Motor Company for
the past year.
The figures showed heavy
gains registered in automotive
sales during the year, with the
Ford Company far ahead in
actual unit sales gain during
1934 over registrations in 1933
Of the entire industry’s gain
of 552.780 car and truck sales in
1934 over the previous year,
Ford V-8 passenger and com
mercial cars accounted for ap
proximately 56 perent, or 285,
268 units, the figures showed.
Ford passenger car sales in
1934 showed an increase of 70.5
percent over Ford registrations
during the previous year, while
Ford V-8 truck sales gained
105.5 percent during 1934—the
greatest truck gain in the entire
industry for the year. A total
of 530,528 Ford V-8 Passenger
cars were registered in 1934, as
compared with 311,113 units in
1933. The average gain for
Ford, in both passenger and
commercial cars, was 76.4 per
cent.
Launching a vigorous sales
campaign late in 1933, at the in
troduction of the 1934 cars and
trucks, the Ford Company dur
ing 1934 also piled up the great
est percentage unit gain in
sales of the three large manu
facturers in the low priced field.
Passenger car sales gains of the
other two companies were 21.2
percent and 12.7 percent res
pectively, compared with the
Ford gain of 70.5 percent.
Ford showed a total registra
tion of passenger cars and
trucks during 1934 of 658, 778
units in the United States alone.
This figure does not include
Canadian of foreign sales. Roa
noke Motor Company, Roanoke
Avenue at ninth, are local Ford
V-8 dealers. (Paid Advertising).

Losing Woodrow Garris, third
sacker, and Bill Gayord, 1st base
man, are the only holes need plugg
ing by graduation while the infield
and the outfield will see old faces
back again in Jarvis Taylor, Ed
Moseley, Byrd and few of the al
ternate pitchers.
With Tom Taylor and Hugh
Bugg out of school this term the
•chief setups so far with the lccals:
pitching staff brings back only
Ollie Acree, ace of the bunch, Al
len McNeil, Clarence Coburn, Ed.
Moseley, Jones and Jarvic Taylor
are other means of picking up an
other staff of flingers.
The infield stock looks better
with Joe Brown, former Enfield
high star, who is in school here
this year, shows ability to be a big
help around shortstop or second
base. Irvin Dickens, shortstop,
Red Miller, second baseman, are
other vets back on the job. Nether
cutt, Shell and Cagle, are whooping
it up for the catching post again.
Boyd, sub around second last
year is due attention this season,
while Jones, lanky flinger, looks
hot.
Ed White, newcomer, is out for
the initial sack while Edmondson,
Jarman, Smith, Starke are out
field candidates. The locals lost
only two games of their eighteen
games schedule last season going
to the semi-finals of the state
class B. race. More news of the
Jackets will appear in the Herald
next week.
