Royster, of Ra leigh, recalled a few amusing in cidents in the sports world known to him in an article appearing in Sunday’s News and Observer. One concerned Steve Brodie, famed centerfielder with the Baltimore Orioles when that club was in the majors, when he was a member of the Wilmington nine in the old Eastern Carolina league. Wilmington was managed by Bob Gwaltney, former college and pro player, and Brodie got a job here after he was "down on his up pers,” Dr. Royster recalls. When Brodie came to bat on his first apper ranee here he got a big round of applause and also he promptly got two strikes called on him. Bud Lane, a pitcher just out of Trinity college, was throwing ’em past, and Brodie, like any big leaguer of the time, figured that with two strikes any pitcher would waste a couple of more balls be fore throwing one over the plate. But Lane didn’t. With Brodie standing up with the bat on his shoulder, he fogged one across the bag and the umpire promptly cal led Brodie out. The ex-big leaguer stumbled dejectedly back to the plate and Gwaltney jumped on him. “That was a sorry sight,” he said, for an ex-big leaguer. What do I pay you $150 a month and feed you for? You’re rotten.” Steve was humble. "Don’t be too hard on me,” he said, “you can’t ever tell what one of these college pitchers will do.” Odds and Ends Tiny Taylor, who won the heavy weight GG championship here last year at 230 pounds, is now down to 220 pounds and in top condition for the coming event. . .Up m Winston-Salem a wrestler has filed 6uit in court for $50,000 damages against the promoters and a cer tain fan who jumped into the ring one night and cracked a pop bottle over his head. . .Tiger Joe Marsh, who has appeared in the ring here, was the complainant. . .It’s seldom that a wrestling fan gets that ex cited. . . .He usually takes such things in stride. . .Julius Farrior, 185 pounds, of Watha, came in yes terday and entered the Open divi sion of the Golden Gloves. . .And he has the feeling that he can take the title. . .The Cape Fear Base ball association is planning an ambitious program for the sum mer of ’41. . .They will announce further plans soon. 3 — Calvary Cagers Play Leland Quint Tonight The Calvary Independents will play the Leland Independents in a return basketball game on the Leland court tonight at 8 o’clock. The local team will be favored by virtue of two earlier wins over the Brunswick quint. Coach Gene Bul lard is expected to start the following players for Calvary: L. McKoy and Rowan. forwards; Sandlin and Edens, guards; and Bullard, center. Calvary’s latest win was a victory over the Y. M- C. A- varsity. FAVORITES WIN PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 4.— — Medalist Elizabeth Hicks of Pasadena, Calif., and most cf the .other favorites easily won their *first-round matches in the Palm Beach women’s golf tournament today. * 4 REDS FIND TOUGH GOING FROM START Schedule Makers Pit Worlc Champs Against St. Louis On Opening Day CINCINNATI, Feb. 4.—Wl— The 1941 schedule of the Cincinnati Reds, currently recorded as t h e best team in baseball, shows they must start defending their hard won championship from the min ute the ball is put in play. The schedule, published today; pits the Reds right up against what may be the National league’s sleeper team, the St. Louis Cardi nals, in the opening series and there’s no real let-up in the pres sure until May 4. That’s when they go to Philadelphia, where Doc Prothro’s Phillies are expected to do little damage. The Cardinals, who had a better record in the last half of 1940 than anybody else and may be. still in the same stride, play the tradition al opening game here. Two more games with the Card: and the Reds go up river to Pitts burgh, where Frankie Frisch ha: been rumbling, quite likely witl authority, of vast improvemen when the Pirates could knock the when the Pirates could knock the Reds over like roly-polys, and they may be in a mood to resume. Thence to Chicago, where ex-Rec hero Jimmy Wilson is functioning with the Reds’ best wishes for everything short of a pennant. He likely will be in an ungratefu: mood and the Reds can look for trouble. Then two days in St. Louis, and two days back in Cincinnati, with Pittsburgh. Then to Brooklyn for four games and if you think that’s going to be a picnic, bring along your own ants. May 2 and 3 are to be spent in Boston, and Casey Stengel’s Bees never did succumb to Red smoke without protest, and even the Phil ly series following could be sur prising. All in all, the schedule makers behaved entirely unlike the fellows who arrange college football games or those who seed the seed iiigs for tennis. In those sports the idea seems to be to let the stars take it easy at least until the semi finals, but in baseball the fur flies April 15. The Reds, of course, have taken all this into consideration and ex pect to contribute some fur-flying of their own, just to show that they really are champions of the world. .. 4 LONG CREEK PLAYS Y HERE TONIGHT Juniors and Midgets to Meet Visiting Cagers; Juniors Now Win-Conscious Long Creek’s basketeers meet the Y.

NOTRE DAME NOW LOOKS FOR COACH Layden’s Successor to Come From Alumni; Crowley, Smith Are Mentioned SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 4.—UPl —Notre Dame will continue its policy of choosing its head football coach and athletic director from among its alumni, it was indicated tonight as speculation increased over the successor of Elmer F. Layden. Layden, who had filled both as signments since 1934, resigned yes terday to become commissioner of the National Professional Football league. He was one of the Irish team’s famous "four horsemen” 17 years ago. With the late Rockne’s system apparently destined to continue, the names of four of his former pupils topped the list of possible candidates for the coaching job. They ar^ Joe Boland, present Lr.e coach at Notre Dame; Lawrence (Buck) Shaw, mentor at Santa Clara university; Maurice (Clip per) Smith, Villanova coach, and Jim Crowley, coach at Fordham. Crowley was another member of the famed backfield with which Layden performed and Boland has been Layden’s line tutor. There was no hint of the future status of Layden’s other assistants, Joe Benda, end coach, and Donald (Chet) Grant, backfield coach. The Rev. Hugh J. O’Donnell, C. S. C., Notre Dame pre: 'snt, said the faculty athletic board would meet Friday to consider Layden’s successor and that he would be “guided” by its recommendations. A choice is expected to be made by March 1. Fr. O’Donnell expressed regret at Layden’s departure but rdded. “Since graduation Elmer has re flected in life and work the finest ideals of Christian manhood and as a result, has brought glory to his alma mater. ... He will be held in the highest regard here for his contribution to the develop ment of clean, wholesome recrea tion in the field of intercollegiate sportsmen. “All of Notre Dame joins me in congratulating him on his appoint ment and wishing him success iD his new field of labor.” 3 Greg Rice Makes Other Two Milers Look Bad NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—(tf)—Much as Joe Louis overshadows the heavyweights, little Greg Rice has the unique quality of making all the other current two-mile runners look bad. The “Toy Bulldog” from South Bend, Ind., won his 11th straight indoor race in two seasons last night at Jersey City. He whipped the best men they can put in against him by 20 yards and up, simply running away from them when be decided it was time to uncork his sprint. There's no rea son to believe he won’t run the string to 13 in a row at Philadel phia Friday night and Boston Sat urday, since the same rivals—Don Lash, Joe McCluskey, Tommy Deckard, etc.—will furnish the “competition 4 ' l 9Cats Win Over Rocky Mount Quint, 28-26 4. - ★-V GAME IS LOCALS’ FIRST LOOP WIN Owensby Scores Winning Bas ket in Second Overtime Period on Y. Court The New Hanover High school Wildcat cagers won their first con ference victory of the season with a story book finish in the second overtime period last night as Clift Owensby dropped in a follow-up shot of Billy Pieper’s short try to take the contest from Rocky Mount 28 to 26. The game was almost a repetition of the game played in Rock Mount last Friday night, with the Wildcats leading by a large margin through out the first half, which ended with the locals ahead 18 to 11, holding the Blackbirds to a lone marker in the second period. The game was marked by 24 fouls and the loss of Vernon Mor rison of New Hanover by the foul route. Both teams played a fast brand of ball for the entire four periods with the Blackbirds tying the score at 24-all shortly after the fourth period got underway. In the final period with the locals out in front 24 to 20 the visitors started hitting the loop to outscore the locals 6 to 2 and tie the game 26-26. At the end of the first regulation three minutes overtime period the score was still tied at 26 to 26. Owensby dropped his winning tally in less than a minute of the second overtime. Pieper and Buwen stood out for the Wildcats with Owensby, McKoy and Morrison lending a big hand in defensive work. Pitt and Walker were the stars for Rock Mount. Pieper led the locals with 10 points and Pitt led the Blackbirds with 8.

Arcaro rode his 21st winner of the meeting in the first race, which was delayed 17 minutes by an odd mishap. Jockey Henry Lindberg suffered a bruised instep when he caught his foot in the stall gate after his fractious mount, Ring mond, reared. There was a long wait for Glen Smith to substitute, and Lindberg cancelled his later mounts. Green tree stable’s Fade, a $4.50 to $2 favorite, won the race with Arcaro aboard. Long shot players fattened their wallets when Big Chance captured the third. Big Chance earned an $850 purse for Miss M. Airth as he won by five lengths. The colt paid $81.20, $36.30 and $18 across the board. 4 Carolina Gives Hearty Welcome to Net Stars CHAPEL HILL, Feb. 4.—UPI—The world tennis champions, Alice Marble and Don Budge, who play Mary Hardwick and Bill Tilden in the university gymnasium Wednes day night at 8:15, received a hearty welcome on their arrival in this collegiate court stronghold to day.

Calif., caught up with the field in two straight-set victories- Riggs dropped the first set of his match with Bob Decker of Miami but rallied to win 8-6, 6-3, 8-6. All Set For Golden Gloves Maintaining a steady training program for the past two months, ! Donald Ray Lane, 118-pounder of Burgaw, is all set for the Fifth Annual Star-News-Brigade Golden Gloves tournament which opens at Legion stadium next Tuesday. Lane trained under Father Manley last year and won out in the novice division. This year he's been sticking close to training rules laid down by Porter Davis and has announced intentions of winning a championship in the Open division. National League Heads Oppose Landis Ruling - * Owners to Protest the Edict Against Return of Players To Minors After Draft NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—UP)—The eight members of the National league united unanimously today in opposition to the latest edict from Baseball Commissioner Kene saw M. Landis against return of players to the minor leagues after they have been purchased by major league clubs. Still adhering to the secrecy which has sunounded the latest bulletin of the commissioner since it was issued January 21, the league did not disclose its action officially, but it was learned that a committee composed of Branch Rickey of the St. Louis Cardinals, Warren Giles of the Cincinnati Red6 and Leo Bondy of the New York Giants was appointed to draft a resolution to be presented to Landis expressing the opposition of the major league club owners to his ruling. The ultimatum that has drawn the ire of some of the clubs says that a player purchased by a big league club while he is subject to the baseball draft may not be re turned to the minors on option un less waivers are obtained from all the other major league teams. There was some question as to the extent of the rule’s effect on the National league members. The Giants said none of their players would be affected, but the Chicago Cubs said four of their players fell in the class of the ruling. One of the latter is Lou Stringer, star second baseman for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast league last year. He is a valuable ball player potentiality, but the Cubs at present have Billy Herman, prob ably the best second baseman in the league, and normally would consider optioning Stringer to a class AA minor league club. However it now would be neces sary for the Cubs to ask for waivers and some rival like the Giants or Phillies very likely would put in a claim at the draft price of $7,500. Then Chicago either would have to withdraw the waiver request and keep him on its bench or let him go at a con siderably loss to a rival club. The National league representa tives said they realized that Landis was undertaking to avert abuse of the practice of placing a ball play er on a major league roster to keep him from being drafted by some other major league club, but they felt the regulation as now stated was not only impractical, but usurped the clubs’ powers to make their own rules. The league adopted a helmet for batters which all the clubs will try out in spring training. It was invented by Dr. George Bennett of Johns Hopkins hospital at Balti more and league President Ford Frick said it was guaranteed to prevent fractures. Larry Mac Phail president of the Brookklyn Dodgers, said he would make wearing one compulsory for his players, but other club executive said their players would be given the option of wearing one or not. 3 11 BROWNS SIGNED ST LOUIS, Feb. 4.—Iff)— With the addition of four rookies, the St. Louis Browns were 11 up with 29 to go today in signing their players to contracts. .

The first half play was slow and ragged on both sides with Caro lina leading at the end, 15-14. A reversal of form put the Phan toms in front, 23-15, but Davidson spurted, too, and the teams bat tled the rest of the time on vir tually even terms.
