r May 26, 1944 HIGH LIFE Page Five ■ Sport Spins with Irwin Smallwood Well, fans, we have written a- lot of things called columns but we never really knew what it would be like writing the last one for dear eld High Life. With this edition we end two and a half years service as a staff member. First on the docket today, we would like to say something about the base ball Whivlies. They have played good ball all year, but some real tough breaks and some pretty good playing on the part of some other teams de throned the Whirlwind from its posi tion as Western class A conference I'hamps. Going into the last week before the conference tourney, Greensboro was rat ed as having a better-than-average chance to retain the loop title, but in the alst tunenp game of the season ,lase Ralls, who was being dspended upon to do most of the tournament catching as well as pitch in at least one game, was hit on the pitching hand and suffered a broken knuckle, thus making it impossible for him to par ticipate in the games. And shortly before. Jack Elkins, promising catcher who was one of the main cogs in the local baseball machine, was ruled scho lastically ineligible. But with all these things staring them in the face the Whiiiies went into battle, and although they played McBANE COAL CO. Dial 3-3666 for Good Coals — Honest Weight Fair Prices — Friendly Service E. H. McBane, Oicner if Manager a liard game and fought to the last inning, High Point high’s Black Bison upset the Jamieson-tutored lads in a first round game. Anyway, however the outcome was we can say our Whirlies tried. Maybe it just wasn't our year. They did good work and were coached well by Coach Bob Jamieson. Nice going. Whirlwind ! ★ Before we get off’ the subject of base ball, we would like to mention one “Big Jiiu'' Staton. Staton is probably more well known as a tackle on the Whirlie gridders, but his ability doe.sn't stop there. He has pitched for Coach Jamie son in a couple of non-loop games this year, and he is slated to be one of the top Greensboro hurlers in Legion ball this summer. His last attempt on the mound was against the 65th mess group from the local ORI), formerly BTC 10. He lost this game through one bad inning, but the soldiers were never able to collect more than five bingles off him. And Staton’s bossoin buddie, Bob Apple, played in most of the Greens boro games through the tourney, and Visit the O.

Included among the teams that have fallen before the local girls are Curry, the physical ed majors from Woman's college and the alumni.

Sara Gwynn was the leading hurlev for the Senior girls, winning two games and losing one, while Gertrude Archer won one. Archer also served as a re lief pitcher, as did Alice Wolfe.
