TOURNEY
DOPE
By SOC CHAKAI.ES
(The High Point Enterprise)
HERE AND THERE
When the state championship
Roanoke Rapids Owls play their
first game here in the North Caro
lina State Semi-Pro baseball tour
nament their squad will look like
a cross section of all the leading
colleges in the South.
Besides George Nethercutt of
Carolina, Tommy Byrne, Rae Scar
borough and Irvin Dickens of
Wake Forest, they have Billy Gib
son, all Southeastern Conference
shortstop from Georgia Tech; Paul
Brotherton, All-Southeastern Con
ference first baseman from L.S.U.;
Ken Kavanaugh, an outfielder
from L.S.U. who made the All
American football team at end;
Frank Chambers, outfielder from
Mississippi State; Ben McLeod.
University of Alabama product
who has been picked on the Ala
bama All-State Semi-Pro team for
two years and who played for Tal
lassee, Ala., in the national tourna
ment last year; Bryan Hammett,
a right hander from L.S.U., and
Bob Smith, Jr., of the University
of Georgia, son of the late Bob
Smith of the Boston club in the
major leagues. That’s a goodly
number of baseball players who
are pursuing or who have finished
a college education . . .
Last night someone called out
at my house while I was away
working on the tournament. They
wanted to know if all the tickets
have been sold out for the opening
doubleheader Sunday night. Well,
chum, they are not sold out now
but I hope they are by 3 o’clock
Sunday afternoon . . . That page
ad listing the industrial plants par
ticipating in the big “Industrial
Night” program July 11 will run
tomorrow afternoon, in case any
of you missed seeing it Monday
and wondered why . . . The Lucky
Strike team followers down in
Durham are referring to the local
tournament as the “Little World
Series” . . . Note to you folks in
Asheboro: Confidentially, you’ll be
coming here to watch your fa
vorite team in action. They are
all going to be in this tourna
ment . . .
Raymond C. Dumont, president
of the National Semi-Pro Baseball
Congress, said after seeing two of
North Carolina’s teams perform in
the national tournament: “They
probably play some of the fastest
semi-pro baseball in the country
down in the Tar Heel state.” . . .
Well, he’s not far wrong. McCrary
went out there and finished sev
enth in 1937 and the Roanoke Rap
ids Owls finished in the same spot
last year. On top of that, the Owls
knocked off the national cham
pions, Enid, Oklahoma, during
their sojourn last year, and Mc
Crary opened up the national
tournament in 1937 before 16,000
persons by walloping the Kansas
City Cops, one of the pre-tourna
ment favorites. Yes, Brother Du
mont, there's little question about
the calibre of baseball played in
semi-pro circles in this state.
We’ve got what it takes . .. .
Little is heard about the Hemp
Robins down in Moore County ex
cept for their doings in the Inter
City League, but J. V. TurbevUle
and Bob Roberts will present a
stubborn ball club when they com
pete for the title. Last year the
Robbins weren’t accorded much of
a chance to snag the state cham
pionship, but they finished fourth
and it was only by a series of the
toughest kind of breaks that they
didn’t finish second or third . . .
The Harmony team is sponsored
by the Junior Order of United Me
chanics ... *
—Sanford of the Tobacco State
League is “loading” up for the
tournament. Besides their regular
lineup, which is" potent enough as
it is, they are going to borrow
some of the better players in the
rest of the league to make certain
they win the state title . . The oth
er day the Sanford community vot
ed to put lights in the handsome
new ball park down there and they
will be playing night baseball after
July 15 . . . And that’s all for to
day. While you folks are out en
joying the Fourth, I’ll be hustling
up some work for the tournament.
We’re going to have a good one.
