DEACS BEAT CAROLINA: DUKE DOWNS STATE FOREST RALLIES FOR 4-2 VICTORY; DEVILS WIN 3-2 Winner* Come From Be hind To Cop Thrilling Raleigh Doubleheader RALEIGH, April 30.— (#> — Late Inning rallies gave Wake Forest a 4-2 victory over North Carolina, and Duke university a 8-2 win over N. C. State college, in a Raleigh sesqui centennial baseball doubleheader here today. The games were as thrilling a pair of cpntests to be performed on Big Five diamonds this year. Wake Forest came fro mbehind to win the first game. With the score 2-1 against the Deacons, Lefty Vivian, batting for Smidt, sent a double into left field, scoring Johnny Fletcher ahead of him. Bob Reid put Wake Forest in a position to win by opening the ninth with a triple over third. After Clyde Whitener walked, Red Cochran hoisted a fly to Gersten, and on Gersten’s high throw home, Reid scored. Cole then grounded out to Hayworth, scoring Whitener. It was Wake Forest s first victory over Carolina in two years and the Tar Heels’ first defeat this year in Big Five competition. It was also Pitcher Red Benton's first loss of the season. Tom Davis, who plays a mighty good game of football, showed his talents were equally able on the base ball diamond, by breaking up a 2-2 tie with N. C. State college in the eighth inning with a home run. Davis put his team in first place in both the Southern conference and the Big Five standings. The Blue Devils have won 13 out of 15 con ference games and five out of six Big Five clashes. Pitcher Bill McCahan rang up his seventh straight hurling victory.

SU-ANN SHOE STORE > 109 Vi North Front Street—Next To Jewel Box iJ join the Dodgers tomorrow at Pittsburgh. Rowe, who shares with Smoky Joe Wood, Walter.. Johnson and Robert (Lefty) Grove the league record of 16 consecutive victories, was starting his tenth season with the Tigers and 10 days ago de feated the Chicago White Sox for his lone 1942 victory. Only once in his career did he have a 20 vic tory season, but he compiled a remarkable record of 105 victories and 62 defeats. The sale of Rowe came as a sur prise in some quarters, yet it was fresh evidence that the Tigers in tend to string along with young talent that has given the club a tremendous lift in the new sea son. By disposing of Rowe, the Tigers elected to keep 25-year-old Harold Manders. former Universi ty of Iowa right-hander and cousin of Bob Feller, who would have been cut adrift to reduce the squad to the league playing limit. Rowe, a native of Texas but gaining first prominence as a spectacular high school athlete at El Dorado, Ark., spent one year in the minors—at Beaumont of the Texas league—before joining the Tigers in 1933. The six-foot, four-inch giant won seven and lost four that season, but the following year, under dy namic Mickey Cochrane who had become Detroit’s manager, he put together his 16 straight victories, won 24 and lost eight for the sea son and pitched Detroit to its first pennant in 25 years. More than any other player De troit’s baseball madness of that year was created by Rowe and his blazing fast ball. -V PHALANX BEATS ACL TEAM, 11-9 Kelly Jewell Holds Rail roaders At Bay As Walk ermen Climb From Cellar Yesterday afternoon at Robert Strange Tommy Walker’s Phalanx ers climbed out of the cellar as they uncovered a reliable pitcher in Kelly Jewell, who held the A. C. L. bat ters at bay until the last two in nings. Late inning rallies weren’t strong enough for A. C. L. to overcome an 11 to 4 lead and Phalanx won 11-9. Although outhlt, 10 to 8, the Phalanx boys made good use of their bingles. C. Smith with a single and a double paced Phalanx at bat, and he drove in four of the winner’s runs. Grice, A. C. L. first sacker, was the day’s hitting star as he garnered three hits and drove in three runs for the losers. The Phalanx infield played good ball all afternoon and saved Pitcher Jewell a lqt of headaches. Today at 6:30 at Robert Strange diamond the Star-News wll battle Charlie Hammock’s Senior Frat team for the first plase of the Han over league. Both have won four and lost one game, and the last time they met the Frats won, 11-2. Pin ner and C. F. Bell will do the hurl ing. Phalanx Ab R H Bowen, 8b —--—- 2 10 F. Meier, ss -- 3 11 D.

And the promoter added, “the matches should be naturals,” the term used in describing wrestling matches that are of an all-star calibre. Both matches will be for the best two out of three falls with a 75-mlnute time limit. Bibber McCoy, the roly poly Bos ton Irishman, tangles with sturdy Sailor Barto Hill, of Nebraska, in the main event, while Chief Little Beaver, Cherokee Indian, takes on the rough and ready Ed Strangler White, former University of Ala bamafootball star, in the opener. Chief Little Beaver is still com plaining about not having been selected to appear in the finale, holding out that he is a main event wrestler and capable of taking care of himself against any wrestler or boxer. He is still horsing for a match with any boxer who will ac cept his challenge. The McCoy-Hill match, according to the promoter, should be filled with action from start to finish. IWcCoy resorts to roughness, while Hill plays the scientific side until he becomes riled and Is forced to rough it, w'hen he applies his fa mous octopus clutch. Promoter Causey said there has been a brisk advance sale of tickets and that indications point to a rec ord attendance. Doors at Thalian hall wdll open at 7:15 o’clock with the first event go ing on at 8:40 o’clock. FUTURE BOOiTlS STILL SELECTING l SABBATH ENTRY (Continued from Page Eleven) Wright’s Sun again to get to the post at about 5:80 p. m. ) Central War Time) Saturday had gone from bad to worse. Although Wright and Trainer Ben Jones hadn’t made a final decision, they had swung to ward keeping their big quartered husky at home. Sun Again is a couple of weeks behind in his training, and Plain Ben would prefer to pass the Derby altogether and point his guns at the Preakness’ $50,000 the following week, rather than take a chance on setting a “short” horse back farther in the Derby. If Sun Teddy’s bright Chestnut Boy stays out of it 15 horses will be left in just about as wide open a field as this turf taffy-pull has ever sported. And the 15 will represent the largest set to hear “My Old Kentucky Home” roll out over the Downs since the concert was put on for War Admiral and 19 others in ’37. By a good margin in the “ex perts” consensus, the horse to beat is Devil Diver, jusky son of St. Germans, who sired two Derby win ners in Twenty Grand and Bold Venture. Off his reoent snappy workouts, Devil Diver is probably the only horse in the bunch rated a sure thing to be able to carry the 126 pound Derby pack over the mile and a quarter route. And what’s more he’ll have Eddie Arcado in the driver’s seat. Requested will push him and his stablemate Shut Out, one of Equi poise’s sons, for favorite honors, while two other entries—Alsab and the Texas one-two punch of Valdina Orphan and Hollywood from Emer son Woodward’s ranch at Uvalade— look like the other contenders.

(TlRRVttS The Cigarette of Quality for less money Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons Aims For Fourth Derby Winner In 68th Event LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 80.— UP)—"Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons, the sage of Sheepshead Bay, is the oldest of the trainers condi tioning horses for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby but he’ll find no respect for his age when he sents Apache in quest of the 175,000 pot of gold. The kindly 67-year-old trainer, who tightened the saddle girth on Gallant Fox in 1930, Omaha in 1935, and Johnstown in 1939, is the only trainer with a chance of tying the record of four win ners established by the late Dick Thompson for E. R. Bradley. He’ll even find his runner-up position jeopardized by Plain Ben Jones, the Parnell, Mo., ex cowhand who has captured two of the last four Derbies with Lawrin (1938) and Whirlaway (1941). Jones’ hope is Sun again. As trainers go In this busi ness, where it takes years to learn the whims of horses, this is a young man’s Derby. Just five of them have passed the 50-year mark. They range all the way down to 30-year-oid Art Fletcher, who’ll challenge with the lightly regarded Fair Call. Roy Waldron, the Beau Brum mel of the group, Is the only other trainer who ever has sad dled a winner. He won the 1940 renewal with Mrs. Ethel V. Mars’ long shot, Gailahadion, and bids Saturday with Dog patch, another outsider from the same stable. -V INDIANS TROUNCE PHILADELPHIA A’S Boudreau Breaks Up Win ning Combination; Cleve land Wins Game, 6-1 PHILADELPHIA, April SO.—LT1)— The Cleveland Indians won their 11th straight game today—beating the Athletics, 6-1—although Manager Lou Boudreau disregarded a base ball tradition not to break up a winning combination.
