DAVISlEFEATS AMOCO, 5 TO 1 Soldiers Open Season By Swamping Cannoneers In Twilight Tilt Here Lt. H. A. Johnson’s Camp Davis team defeated the Amoco Can noneers 5 to 1 in a twilight game at Legion stadium Saturday to open its season with a bang. Corrado paced post hitting with two for three. The lone score by Frank Clemmon’s Amoco nine came in the fourth inning when Sandlin slid into home on a close play after a hit by Benton. Vaughn, who hurled the first five innings for Davis, struck out eight men including the side in the third frame. Henderson pitch ed the sixth and seventh innings for the soldiers, and Wall was on the mound for Amoco. Catchers were Belcastro for Camp Davis and Brazely for the Cannoneers. The score by innings: Camp Davis . 002 020 10 Amoco . 000 100 00 -V Davidson Track Team Gets Win Over State DAVIDSON, May 2.—OP)—David son’s track team closed its regular season today with a 79-47 victory over N. C. State. The Cats went ahead after the second event and never again were headed. Mike Andrews tailed 23 of the Wolfpack’s points and captured individual scoring honors. His to tal came from firsts in the 100, 200, discus, shot and second in the broad jump. Arch Taylor. Davidson hurdler and spring man, was second with 12 points, five of them from a 14.99 time in the high hurdles which tied the school record he set a week ago. WHITNEY ENTRY WINS BIG RACE FOR FAMED SIRE AJ Sabath's Color - Bearer Noses Out Valdina Orphan For Photo Second By SID FEDER CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville, Ky., May 2.—UP)—A driam came true along Churchill Downs’ heart breaking stretch today when the chocolate son of a great chocolate daddy dropped out of the clouds in the last quarter mile to win the richest Kentucky Derby of them all. A dozen years after a last min ute breakdown robbed his daddy. Equipoise, of his chance at the prized necklace of roses, the new chocolate soldier—Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Shut Out—ran his heart out in a mighty stretch struggle. To win for his famous father. All the long-way down “heart break boulevard” he went all out, and finally he hit the wire 2 1-4 lengths in front of Alsab, the fine little juvenile champion of last year, who came back a long way toward his two year old heights with today's driving effort. It was a.double-barreled triumph for the “bum” of Mrs. Whitney’s fashionable Greentree stable, whose name was wished on him because of the fact his owner is a Brooklyn Dodger fan. For, even as the field of 15—largest since War Admiral whipped 19 others in 1937 —paraded to the post and the tra ditional hush fell as “My Old Ken tucky Home" drifted out, the Greentree stable bosses still re garded Ekky’s son as only its sec ond best bet, not nearly the horse his mate. Devil Diver, was. And the bettors, who poured $631,198 into the mutuel machines on the derby alone, made the two part entry favorite at $5.80 for $2 virtually exclusively because of what they thought of The Diver. But in the final pull, only Shut Out and Alsab survived, and The Diver and all the rest pf the top contenders in this widest field in history found out why they all it “heartbreak road,” this longest stretch in America. That last quar ter mile got him, and he faded to sixth place, trailing not only the first two home, but also Valdina Orphan, who faltered to third and the high-speed rheumatic With Re gards, who set the early pace, then wound up fourth. And back of the Diver, came such other high-and-mighty pre Derby standard bearers as the im ported Hollywood in ninth place, and handsome Apache in eleventh. Far down the track at the finish and all but out of sight came the little fellow from deep in the heart of Texas, Requested, who never got in it and was eased up to 14th place. But despite the defeat of all these, the flying son of the choco late soldier warmed the hearts of a crowd that apparently felt the touch of war. They knew, every one of these hardboots and “in vaders” in the get-together vari ously estimated at 80,000 to 100, 000 that this “spittin’ image” of the big hoss of another generation was winning this one for daddy. They knew that just 11 years ago, Ekky came up as the “big hoss” in the Derby for Mrs. Whit ney’s nephew, Cornelius (Sonny) Whitney. He was the glamour boy of a dozen horses on the grounds of this picturesque racing plant for the 57th Derby. It was to put a fitting touch to a career that ranks him among the greatest horses of all time. Then the morning of the race— 11 a.m. to be exact—word came that he couldn’t make it. There he was in his stall, ailing with a kid ney trouble that comes to horses from over-eating. To a tearful ac companiment, he was scratched. It didn’t matter that his stable mate, Twenty Grand, went on to win the big heat. Ekky didn’t have the chance. And later, when it was found that he had a blind quarter crack as well, even the handlers of other horses joined in the sad ness. But today Shut Out evened things up. And, ironically, once more, Eddie Arcaro guessed wrong. A contract rider for Mrs. Whitney’s stable, the swarthy little Kentuck ian, generally regarded as the best jockey in the business, had his pick of Devil Diver or Shut Out. All last year, able to make the same selection, he chose Shut Out, because he thought the chocolate galloper was the best of the two. But in most cases, the Diver stole the honors. Throughout this last pre-Derby week, he hesitated be tween the two. Finally, yesterday, he chose the son of St. German’s, who already had sired two other Derby winners in Twenty Grand and Bold Ven ture. -V Philadelphia A’s Beat Chicago Sox, 7 To 6 PHILADELPHIA, May 2.—■(*)— Hal Wagner, who seemingly has ousted Frankie Hayes for the Phi ladelphia Athletics’ catching as signment, took a stronger hold on the job today when he blasted a single with two out in the ninth inning to give the A’s a 7-6 triumph over the Chicago White Sox Wagner’s hit scored Bob Johnson from _second base. Johnson had doubled off Orval Grove to set the stage for the winning marker.

The victory was the Tar Heels second over the Cavaliers this spring. The winning run in the lucky seventh came when Mack Morris walked, took second on Catcher Claude IMVers’ sacrifice, and scored on Pinchhitter Jack Hussey’s sharp single through the pitcher’s box. The two runs in the eighth resulted from singles by Lew Hayworth, Leon McCaskill, and Myers mixed in w'ith a base on balls and an error. Carolina scored first in the third. Myers doubled and then came home when First Baseman Charlie Brown let Charlie Merritt’s throw get past him. Merritt fielded Pitcher Charley Moore’s ground ball and then threw perfectly to first but the ball eluded Merritt. Merritt reached first on an error, went to third as Myers threw wildly to first in an effort to catch him, and scored on Norman Farquhar’s single for Virginia’s first run in the fourth. The Cavaliers scored their second run in the fourth on one hit, two errors and a fielders’ choice. It was Moore’s fourth victory against no losses this season. FRAT TEN LEADS HANOVER LEAGUE Star-News Team Second In Loop Race; Hugh Griffith Is Hitting Leader As the third week of play ends and each team has completed six games, the Hanover 'eague is in full mid-summer swing.

DAVISlMDTEAM TO PLAY CITADEL Arrangements Started O n Nine-Game Schedule For Coast Artillerymen Football schedules are usually ar ranged in the off-season, and fre quently two or three years ahead. Camp Davis is unable to get that much of a jump on its games, but it is right now engaging in working out a series of games for this fall. The commanding general has as sured that there will be a football team this year. Lieut. Henry A. Johnson, camp athletic officer, hopes to have it play nine games. They can not all be announced at this time, but contracts for three of them have already been signed. The opener will be played in Charleston, S. C., against The Cita del, Saturday afternoon, Sept. 26. The other “away” game will be played in Norfolk, Va., against Fort Story Oct. 31, also a Saturday. The Fort beat Camp Davis last year in Wilmington by 7 to 6. The third contest already sched uled will be against the First Marines of New River. The Army took this one last year, 12 to 0. Lieut. Johnson is looking for a game with a team representing the Navy to complete the inter-service series. Two open dates are left, including the one to be filled with a naval en gagement. Arrangements now call for two games to be played away—The Cita del and Ft. Story—three games on the post-Sunday afternoons with no charge for soldiers, and four games in Wilmington at the Legion stad ium. Three of these will be played against Carolina colleges. | .

POWELL Unbeaten Pepsi Cola clashes with the second-place Progressive club from the shipyard at Legion stadium*this afternoon while the A. L. King nine plays the improved Amoco Cannoneers at Hilton as the Cape Fear baseball associa tions first half struggle enters the fourth week of action. Both tiffs promise to be bang-up affairs as all teams are rapidly rounding into first-class shape for the tough sledding ahead. Last Sunday’s games, best all-around so far, proved that. Pitchers had their say for the first time as three of the hurling brigade served low-hit diets to the opposing bat ters. Several double plays and a seldom-seen triple execution add weight to the above contention. Pepsi Cola will likely call on either Jack Shoaf or Snag Allen to face the shipyard sluggers this afternoon. Allen muzzeled the Kingers on four singles last week and appears ready to fire away at the Progressive clubbers al though Shoaf’s experience and de pendability may get him the nod. To keep power in the lineup the infield will likely remain as is with Edens at first, S. McKeithan at second, Rowan at short, and Dempsey at third. With Yates Hawkins out with a lame ankle, the outfield will fall to Carter, Benson, and R. Farrow, Nether cutt will catch. The shipyard outfit is still on the hunt for a catcher, although a guy by the name of Smith looked okeh with the mitt last Sunday. The Progressive infield of Lam bert, Dejarnett, Jordan, and Meade seems to be filling the bill as is the garden patrol of Man ager Urbon, Davis and McCord. Of the three leading shipyard chunkers—Brosman, Edwards, and Holland,—the first mentioned has been the most effective and he will likely toe the rubber against the league leaders today. Two problems meet over on the Hilton diamond when the Cannon eers and the Grocery boys tee off this afternoon. Batting punch, that essential item in winning ball games, has been sorely needed on both teams since the opening round and today’s get-together has been designed by both managers to re-capture some of that lost power. Skipper James of the King team hinted that some of the sub players would have to be handed pink slips to make room for the new material recently signed. Some of that new blood will be in jected into the King lineup today with most of the changes due to occur in the outfield where only Oscar Flowers is playing par ball. The inner defense of Horton, Singletary. Tyler and Shands is holding up well and no immediate change is in view. The catching department is bulging with defen sive giants, but the hitting is some thing else. In Johnnie Wilbourne, King has a pitcher that bids fair to becoming one of the best in the Cape Fear and he has two able assistants in Gore and Jack Allen. In looking over the Amoco team, the battery section is what holds the attention, for Clemmons has a dependable flinging corps in Head on Piner, Lefty Brew, Biggie Jenk ins, and Jim Bullock. Charley Beatha is a manager’s dream of a catcher and San West works well behind the bat too. The Amoco in field as of last Sunday, Sandlin, Hood, Pattinian, and Anderson, with a little more work, should prove a apable one. With more base hits, the Cannoneers, like the Kingers, should be fight in the thick of the pennant fight. Records According to averages just re leased covering the regulars in the first three games in the book, the Pepsi’s veteran Snag Allen is lead ing the Cape Fear in just about everything. . . Allen’s .500 mark tops the league hitters who have played in all games. . . Rowan of the PC’s is next in batting with average of .466. . . Davis and Mc Cord, from the shipyard team fol low with .400 marks, and the King’s Oscar Flowers trails with .364. . . In slugging the Pepsi pitcher has a double and a triple, while Edens of the same gang, has two doubles and a three base knock. . . Snag Allen is also the leading pitcher, winning two games while allowing one run or five hits and whiffing 16. Edens has fanned 16 in thirteen innings. . t Umpires today are Brown and Parker at Hilton and Casteen and Eagles at the stadium. 2 SELL OUTFIELDER CINCINNATI, IVPay 2.— (IP) —The Cincinnati Reds sold two outfielders for cash tonight—Ernie Koy to the Philadelphia Phils and Frank Secory to the Milwaukee Brewers of the American association.
