WILDCATS AND RALEIGH MEET HERE TODAY ^ . ■ • i i i > i i a i l -A- _A_ _A. -- Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE It almost takes a mathematic^wizard to figure out how the Wilmington Wildcats still have a fighting chance in the h’:gh school championship race. But the fact remains that they do. And at the stadium this afternoon, when they meet the Raleigh Caps, they’re going to be straining every effort to hang onto hopes for that crown. It’s a cinch that the game is an important one. Let’s presume they win today. Then only weak Rocky Mount re mains on the menu. If they take care of that, and Durham beats Wilson (it’s happened before this season) the Wilson Durham-Wilmington tie for the title will be in the offing. Apparently it is Baseball Week in Wilmington. The high school contests, of course, opens the dia mond diet. Tomorrow night two crack negro clubs—the Newark Eagles and the Cuban Stars of New York—take over Legion field in a game that at least promises plenty of color. Camp Davis takes on its second Cape Fear team, the Shipyard Progressives, at the same place on Thursday night. And the Cape Fear loop, which is getting hotter right along with the weather, grabs the spotlight again on Sun day. We’re taking back all we said last week about what a helluva life a sports writer leads. Evidently the present Typewriter league has nothing to beef about at all. Caterpillar Welch, a contributor to the Star back in May of 1892 writes of the woes of our pre decessor, the “sporting editor’’ of the paper then. It seems, we judge by the yellowing files, that the scribe had other duties besides sports. One night he was told to get a story on a concert at the old Wilmington Opera house. Being a brilliant fellow, our predecessor decided to get his facts in advance, write his story and then—as Cater pillar put it—“chase, some game.” Well, his yarn was a flowery bit of literature, telling of how the audience applauded and applauded, asking the singer for an encore. Even then readers were getting laughs on sports writ ers. For that concert was never held. VICTORY LEAGUE ! IS OPENED HERE Apprentice Maroons And Ethyl-Dow Win As New Softball Loop Started Last night at Robert Strange Register’s Ethyl-Dow boys won a pitcher’s duel over Jimmy Moore’s i City Opticals to open the new Vic tory league softball season. Shipp and Dow’s Slugger Brown hooked up in the best pitcher’s bat tle seen here in a year. Shipp al-j lowing four and Brown three hits in the seven-inning tilt. Doubles by Moore and Morris for Dow proved to. be the decisive blows in a six-run third inning. In the second 'game of the Victory league the Moldloft team and the Apprentice Maroons, both shipyard representatives, had themselves a slugging bee, the Maroons winning out 13 to 11, though outhit, 14 to 12. Fourteen extra-blows were hit, Culbreth and Kenney of Moldloft gambling, two doubles each. Carroll of the Maroons hit the only homer. At 6:30 in the Hanover league the Firemen made it four wins in a row over the Phalanx in a tight game, 5 to 2. Cliff Owensby won his fourth game as he set the Pha lajixers down with but three hits. Doubles by D. Smith and Lee in the foui'th and a mighty homer by Wolfe in the fifth decided the game.

M • ’ -- ' ————————— ————— - Reds Get Dozen Runs From Giants, Almost Break Majors Record CINCINNATI, May 4.— m — The Cincinnati Reds came with in two runs of the modern major league record when they scored 12 runs in the fourth inning against the New York Giants today. The Reds coupled six hits, in cluding Eddie Joost’s base clean ing triple and Lonny Frey’s double, with three Giant errors and four bases on balls to score the runs off Fiddler McGee, Hugh East and Harry Feltman. The modern record of 14 runs by one cl|Ub in one inning was established by the Yankees in 1920 and equalled by the Cubs in RED SOX BRUSH OFF CLEVELAND Doerr Paces Boston To 11 8 Victory; Yankees, Tigers Win (Condensed From AP Reports) Bobby Doerr, the American league’s leading slugger, turned in a perfect performance at the plate yesterday while pacing the Boston Red Sox to an 11-8 victory over the Cleveland Indians. Doerr, who has hit safely in 10 straight games, col lected two singles and a double with the bases loaded out of three trips to boost his average to .466. While going down to their second straight defeat at Fenway, the In dians out-hit the Sockers, 15-11, and were supplied with homers by Jeff Heath, Ray Mack and Otto Denning, all made against Dick Newsome with the bases empty. Newsome, who was credited with his fourth straight win, had the game well in bond uii-'ii the eighth, when he was replaced by Tex Hugh son after setting the stage for the Indians' four-run rally. Ihe New York Yankees humbled the Chicago White Sox again fi to 1 for the American league tail-end era fourth setback in a new losing streak. The Sox now have been beaten 11 times in their last 12 games and 1G out of 20 for the season. They would have been shutout yesterday, too, for the fifth time except for an error by Yankee Shortstop Phil Rizzuto with two out in the ninth. Spud Chandler kept seven hits scattered and never was in danger because his teammates gave him a run in the first inning and batted around for five more in the third, which Frankie Crosetti climaxed with a two-run triple. A1 Simmons was banished from the coaching lines and a fan, re turning a foul ball hit into the stands, aimed it at Umpire Art Passarella aa the Detroit Tigers de feated the Philadelphia Athletics, 6 Hl. The rumpus started when Sim mons disputed the umpire’s ruling that a grounder hit by the A’s Pete Suder was a fair ball. PIRATES DEFEAT BOSTON, 2 TO 1 Bucs Advance To Half Game Behind Leaders; Reds Blast Giants 15-4 (Condensed From AP Reports) Elbie Fletcher’s only hit of the game, a sharp ninth inning single, gave the Pirates a 2-1 victory over the Boston Braves in Pittsburgh Monday and the Bucs advanced to within a half-game of the idle league-leading Brooklyn Dodgers. Veteran Jim Tobin and Bobby Klinger, making his first start of the year, hooked up in a hurling duel, both allowing only six hits. An error paved the way for the game-winning run the Pirates push ed across in their last half of the mntn. In Cincinnati, the usually docile Reds ripped off 12 runs in the fourth inning and roiled on to a 15 to 4 triumph over the New York Giants. The big blasting, during which the Reds’ entire batting order came up twice, came within two runs of the modern major league record for the most scoring in a single inning. Cincinnati made only six hits, in cluding Eddie Joost’s triple with the bases loaded, but they were helped by three errors and four bases on bails. Three runs w'ere forced across the plate by walks and another by a hit batsman. Chicago Cubs Defeat Cochrane’s Navy Tearn GREAT LAKES, 111., May 4.—UP) —The Chicago Cubs defeated the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta tion 6-3 today after loaning the Blue Jackets a pitcher. It was the third straight loss for Lt. Mickey Cochrane’s sailors in four starts and the first time the club has faced a major league out fit this season. The last meeting of the Cubs and Great Lakes was in 1918. The Bruips won 5-0. i DERBY WINNER SHOWS UP LESS USUAL FANFARE Apache And Fair Call Also At Track; Sun Again May Be Scratched BY MASON BRUNSON BALTIMORE. May 4.—UP)—With out any fanfare whatever, Shut Out, the Kentucky Derby hero, ar rived today at Pimlico, where he’ll try Saturday to pick up another rich purse in the Preakness stakes. Two tow-headed little boys in ragged overalls, a black and a white mongrel pup, and a handful of photographers and reporters were the only ones on hand at Mt. Wash ington to greet Mrs. Payne Whit ney’s colt. In fact, Shut Out came to town from Louisville with much less ado than usually attends the arrival of a derby winner. He stepped off the train like any casual visitor and was led into a van with no fuss at all. He looked as fit as a horse can be. In the same car with him was his stablemate, Devil Diver, both of them in charge of Lee Cotton, as sistant to Trained John M. Gaver. Cotton said both colts stood the trip well. Also arriving with the Greentree pair were William Woodward’s Apache and Mrs. Barclay Douglas' Fair Call, both considered certain starters in the mile and three-six teenths run for the Preakness’ $50, 000-added pot. A couple of hours later another train brought in Sun Again, War ren Wright’s Preakness hope which was scr» iched from the derby. him was the handsome ’f/hirlaw'ay, the Calumet farm’s big threat in Wednesday’^ $20,000-added Dixie Handicap. Sun Again didn’t ship well, and Trainer Ben A. Jones said he w’asn’t certain whether he would start him in the Preakness. By mid-week the Preakness col ony will be complete. Yet to come in are Albert Sabath’s Alsab and Emerson F. Woodward’s Valdina Orphan, which took second and third money, respectively, in the derby. Others expected are Ben F. Whi taker’s Requested, William duPont, Jr.'s Fairy Manah, R. Sterling Clark’s Colchis and possibly Walter P. Chrysler’s Bleu D’Or. Eddie Arcaro’s decision to stick to Devil Diver, his disappointing der by mount, although he could ride Shut Out, came as a surprise to race followers who had expected him to switch to the derby winner for the Preakness. It made, them wonder whether the stable still considered Devil Diver the better of the two. He was tabbed as Greentree’s main derby threat but at the end it was Shut Out which was in the winner’s spot with Devil Diver sixth. DAVIS COMPLETES BOND SALE PLANS Officers, Men Nurses May Arrange For Pay Deduc tions Friday To Buy Them Preparations have been complet ed at Camp Davis for “sign-up day” in the war bond drive. On Friday, May 8, officers, nurses, enlisted men and civilian employes may arrange pay deductions which will be used for buying bonds. All application forms and pay roll reservation blanks have been distributed by Lieut. Col. John R. Sampey, camp War Bond officer, to unit war bond officers. Officers may make a minimum reservation of $3.75 a month, enlisted men $1.25, and civilians $5. The money will be held in Wash ington until enough accumulates to buy a bond of a denomination specified by the purchaser. The bond may then be mailed to the person authorizing the deduction or kept for him in Washington by the government. Col. Sampey expected a major ity of camp personnel to subscribe to the plan, pointing out that it is the easiest way to buy war bonds. -V U. S. Is Approaching 11-2 Oceans Navy MONTREAL, Que.. May 4.—<1P)— Leon Henderson, United States price administrator, said today that the United States will have at least “a one and a half ocean Navy” next year. Declaring that American war production is no longer a problem and ‘‘we’ve got it licked,” Hender son mentioned the submarine men ace and said: “We have been forc ed to fight a two ocean war with a one ocean Navy.” “But next year it will be diffe rent,” he said. “We’ll at least have a one and a half ocean Navy.’* --V The 1940-41 cotton crop of India is estimated at 4,841,000 bales of 478 pounds each. Chisox’s Cellar Lease Is Big Loop Surprise Manager Dykes Bemoans Failures Of His Washed Out White Hose BY JUDSON BAILEY NEW YORK, May 4— <£>)—One of the biggest if not the No. 1 sur prise of the young baseball season is the lease taken on the American league cellar by the Chicago White Sox. James J. (Not For Joy) Dykes, manager of the washed out hose, is one of the persons most gravely shocked and this in itself is unusual because Dykes, man and boy, has been in the major leagues almost a quarter of a century and his mask like countenance seldom shows sur prise. But underneath this caustic ex terior beats a heart both bewildered and tender, he avowed today. ‘‘I just burn to a crisp inside,” explained Dykes, ‘‘and I defy you to watch me sitting there in the end of the dugout and tell when I’m angry. ‘ Sometimes I see one of my field ers staggering around in circles un der a fly ball and I sort of bow my face in my hands so I won’t have to see what happens and get myself stirred up. Then as like as not I get to dreaming of a great ball club that can field and hit and I forget to take my face out of my hands till Muddy (Coach Ruel) says to me, ‘Well, Jim, what do you want to do?’ “Then I look up suddenly and see my pitcher getting his brains beat out, or an outfielder uncon scious on the ground, or an in fielder doubled up in pain with a hurt hand and I just moan, ‘oh well, I hope he’ll not be lost for more than three weeks.’ “Yesterday we had two men thrown out running from first to second and Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City was sitting in a box beside the dugout. “After the second one Hague leaned over the rail and asked me 'Jimmy what’s wrong with those guys?’ “S'o I told him. ‘Mayor, you’re just a spectator here. I’m the man ager of the ball club and I don’t even know. “The whole trouble is that no body on our club seems able to do any thinking. We’ve had injuries and bad breaks, but our pitching has been good and we oughtn’t to have lost 10 out of 11 games—or 15 out of 19. “The club looked good on the coast. I think we’ll get going even tually. But we’ll have to get some hitting pretty soon.” 10,775 GE^SUGAR RATION BOOKS (Continued From Page One) after two hours of steady work in terviewing the applicants. “I had one lady registering with me who had eleven in her family”, she said. “Four children of her own, her husband and herself, her parents, and her sister and two children.” “A separate ration application and ration book had to be certi fied for each member of her fam ily”, the teacher continued. The hope was expressed by sev eral principals of various schools that a large portion of the parents of the schools would offer their services in the registration. “It’s not so hard on the younger women but the older teachers are rather tired when the ordinary school day ends,” a principal commented, “and the extra work through until 10 o’clock at night is going to be tough on them.” No Confusion With all the extra work and ef fort occasioned by the registration, there was a distinct lack of con fusion and excitement that general ly accompanies things of that sort. Due to a well organized system, the registration was carried out in a businesslike and efficient manner in every school in the county. “This business of registering about 75,000 people in four days in 24 county schools is a big job, no matter how much you plan ahead,” one teacher commented. The sugar registrants were do ing their bit at the first day’s registration. Good naturedly they took the prospect of rationing, and as Glenn McClelland, Wilmington lawyer put it, “from now on we’ll stir that cup of coffee or glass of tea until every grain of sugar melts.” -V Yank Firstsacker Levy Goes To Kansas City NEW YORK, May 4. — UP) — The New York Yankees today announced that First Baseman Ed Levy had been optioned to their Kansas City farm in the American association. Levy, who played with Kansas City last year, played first base In the Yanks’ first 13 games but batted only .122.

SOUTHERN NET ENTRIES SCARCE Conference Tennis Tourna ment To Open Thursday On Duke Court DURHAM, May 4. — MP) — Con fronted by the prospect of the smallest field in recent years, the annual Southern Conference tennis tournament, slated to get under way on the Duke courts Thursday, loomed tonight as a battle involv ing three North Carolina schools. The difficulties of transportation under wartime conditions and the fact that a number of conference schools have eliminated tennis from their programs have combin ed to cut the probable number of entering schools to seven, at the most. Entries are expected from Duke, North Carolina, N. C. State, Dav idson, Citadel, Maryland and George Washington. To date, how ever, only the first three are defi nite. Yanks Call Off Tilt To Aid Benefit Crowd NEW YORK, May 4.—UP)—So as to give the Naval Relief Fund game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants at Ebbets field Friday a clear field, President Ed Barrow of the New York Yankees today postponed the world cham pions’ game with Washington. The game will be played as a part of a doubleheader Sunday. The Yanks will play their Army and Navy Relief Fund game against the Senators at the stadium, Aug. 22. Negro Baseball Clubs To Clash At Stadium Newark's National Negro league Eagles will play the New York Cu ban Stars of the same league at Le gion stadium at 8:30 o’clock Wed nesday night. Both teams are well-known among baseball fans, and a large crowd is expected. HOWARD FACTnG ANOTHER COUNT Warrant Charging Larceny Of Tire Is Served Upon Him In Jail Here Another warrant charging D. C. Howard, manager of the Cape Fear Taxi Company’s service station in Winter Park, with larceny and re ceiving of an automobile tire was served on him Monday night in the county jail.

At last Thursday’s session of Recorder’s court Howard waived preliminary examination on charg es of larceny of automobiles and tires of E. K. Miller and Dr. H. K. Thompson and is being held for Superior court under $1,000 bond in each case. He also was charged with receiving stolen goods in both cases. Howard, who also was charged with larceny and receiving of tires from Sammie Grady and J. A. Price, pleaded guilty to receiving and was sentenced to 14 months in jail to be assigned to the roads, in each case at the same session of court. He gave notice of ap peal to Superior court and is be ing held under $500 bond in each case. -V Axis Planes Thrice Raid Malta Base VALLETTA, Malta, May 4.—CT)— Axis raiders stabbed at Malta in three light raids today, loosing bombs which hit a refugee center and parish church where casualties were inflicted.
