CAROLINA WINS DIXIE TRACK TOURNAMENT x i k i i. X X X X X X X Xr X X Sports Hodge-Podge BY CARLE HODGE I-—-■' Winning streak of the new Shipyard baseball team brings back memories to the old timers around town—recol lections of another wartime and of another great Shipyard nine in Wilmington. Out at the Red Cross sanitorium is a fellow named Mack Griffith, who remembers the baseball days of World War I here as if it were yesterday. He played ball with some of those shipbuilders who later went up the ladder to big league fame. There was Jim Sullivan, who went to the A’s, and Hank Deberry, onetime St. Louis and Boston star, and Nor man Shepherd, Buck Curry and Harry and Heinie Manush. They made that boatbuilder’s club a great one. After the armistice had written a final chapter for the shipyard. Mack will tell you, most of its base ball mainstays joined with some of the topnotch local boys in forming a Wilmington city crew. That team barnstormed South Carolina and Georgia, winning nine out of 10 games. “It was a honey of a team,” Griffith smiles—with a catcher from Tulane named Blanchard, Shepherd and Heinie Manush pitching, R. S. Burnett and Harry Manush and Scop Campbell holding down the bases; Gus Hastey, George Trush and Boswell in the outfield. “And it was the best team ever seen in these parts,” he affirms, “barring none. Maybe some more great players, like Heinie Manush and Jim Sullivan, will come out of that new shipyard outfit.” Veteran Mack Griffith is not a tinhorn at this diamond business himself. He started playing ball when in his teens, back m the days when the game was a sandlot pastime here and had none of the earmarks of Wilmington’s present well-organized baseball leagues. In about 1921, he and Bert Kite organized the fast, and now near-legendary, Wilmington Independents. And he’s been at it ever since, sticking mainly to semi pro clubs in this section, but sandwiching in a half-season of pro play with Washington in the Eastern Carolina league. He earned a lifetime batting average of .300 and was dubbed “Rabbit” by fellow players because of the way he used to scat around the bases. Mack, who says he’s “a little over 40,” found several years ago that the grind of wearing a team suit was a little too much and donned an umpire’s mask. Seven months ago, physicians found a chemical in his lungs, sent him to the hospital. But he’s just as avid a baseball lover as ever, following the sports pages enthusiastically. _ Now another Griffith is in the local sports spotlight. He’s Hugh of the Star-News softball team. Father Mack says his son is too small for a ball player. But Hugh is proving Pop is wrong by batting .420 to lead the Hanover loop. Yes, Mack Griffith has seen basebaH grow up in Wilmington. ‘SPLASH WEEK’ IS SET AT T Fifty School Boys Learn To Swim In Classes At Lo cal YMCA Pool The annual Y. M. C.

DODGERS DEFEAT PIRATES, 8 TO 1 Rookie Ed Hand Handcuffs Bucs As Brooklyn Marks Up Fourth Straight Win BROOKLYN, May 16.— ffl —Ed Head, rookie right-hander who leads the pitchers of the National league, tossed a two-hitter at the Pittsburgh Pirates today as the Brooklyn Dodgers swept a three game series with an 8-1 victory, their fourth triumph in a row. Head handcuffed all the Bucs ex cept Johnny Barrett, a freshman from the Pacific Coast league, in registering his fifth win against no defeats. The victory gave the first place Dodgers their longest lead of the season, a five-game mar gin over the Boston Braves who lost to the St. Louis Cardinals. After pitching five innings of hit. less ball before a crowd of 16,978, Head issued one of his four oa'ls of the game to Pete Coscarart with two out in the sixth and Barrett brought him home with a double to left center. Barrett also added a harmless sizzle in the ninth. 4 ocore Dy innings: PITTSBURGH_ 000 001 000—1 2 1 BROOKLYN _ 210 032 OOx—8 12 0 Runs batted in—Medwick 3, Camilli. Vaughan, Owen, Barrett, Rizzo.

FOR CORRECT FISHING INFORMATION CALL 9489 ATLANTIC VIEW FISHING PIER Wrightsvflle Beach BAIT — TACKLE FOR SALE OR RENT DUKE IS SECOND IN CONFERENCE OUTDOOR CONTEST Tar Heels Regain Southern Championship; Richmond Spiders Are Third DURHAM. May 16.—UPI—Outman ning Duke’s defending titleholders in a thrilling duel for the team championship, the University of North Carolina’s Tar Heels today regained supremacy in Southern conference track. Carolina won the twentieth an nual outdoor track and field meet in Duke stadium, compiling a total of 64 points to 61 1-2 for the second-place Blue Devils. Richmond’s Spiders finished third in the team race with 19 and one-sixth points, and South Caro lina was a close fourth with an even 19. Other team scores: Virginia Tech 16; Clemson 10 and 2-3; N. C. State 10: Davidson 9; William and Mary 9; and Maryland 5 and 2-3. The Tar Heels—who sent a squad of 33 men into the meet and had some 26 qualified for to day’s finals—took first places in only four events, while Duke cap tured six first-place medals. Caro lina’s all-around strength, plus the brilliant individual performance of slender Warren Mengel, told the story. Mengel was the meet's 'high scorer with ‘14 points. He success fully defended his title in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet, 6 inches. And he added new laur els by winning the 220-yard low hurdles. A. B. Taylor of Davidson shaded Mengel in the 120-yard high hur dles, thereby relieving the Tar Heel ace of one of his 1941 crowns. Just as in yesterday’s qualify ing tests, track conditions kept most of the times high, and the field was unable to crack any of the conference records on the 15 event program. Sharing individual honors with Mengel was Duke’s All-America football star, Steve Lach, who ac counted for 13 of the Blue Devil points. Lach was beaten in the shot put. He had held that championship, both indoors and out, for two years, but Bob Gantt, his sophomore teammate, forced Steve to step down this time. Lach was second in the shot, however, and took top honors in the discus as well as a second place in the javelin. Defending champions that re peated 1941 successes were Duke’s Werner Brown, who won the 440, and Ralph Fennell of Clemson, who retained the pole vault crown. Moffat Storer of Duke failed in the defense of the 100-yard dash laurels when he pulled up lame and finished fifth. Storer—scratch ed in the 220 yesterday—has suf fered with a bad leg throughout the spring. 4 -V Senators And Indians Divide Double Header CLEVELAND. May 16.—UP)—1The Cleveland Indians divided a dou bleheader with the Washington Senators today, taking the first game 5 to 4 with a one-run rally in the ninth inning. Sid Hudson outlasted a parade of Redskin hurlers in the second game to win 7 to 1. Les Fleming, the Tribe’s chunky first baseman, was the star of the first contest, hitting three doubles and driving in two runs. Les’ third double in the final chapter set the stage for the Redskin’s winning tally. In the second contest Hudson coasted with a six run lead after the third inning, keeping the Red skin’s nine hits well scattered. The Tribe managed to bunch three hits for one run in the ninth. 2 (FIRST GAME) Score by innings: WASHINGTON _ 000 000 031—4 5 1 CLEVELAND _ 000 301 001—5 10 1 Huns batted in—Fleming 2. Mack.

Detroit Golfers Must Trade Back Old Balls DETROIT, May 16.—(.Pi—'Tak ing the attitude that every dis carded golf ball "is a vote against continuance of the game." officials in charge of hall concessions at Detroit's five mu nicipal courses have set up an exchange system whereby no new ball is sold unless the buy er turns in an old one. Salvaged balls will be turned over to manufacturers for re processing to offset fears that the present supply of new golf balls would be cleaned off the shelves by July 1. "The salvage effort will give us our stock of balls for next year,” says Charles V. McGrath, superintendent of concessions for the five public fee courses that played host to more than a million players last year. McGrath said the voluntary used ball exchange is Detroit's response to a heavy drain on ex isting supplies. Sales thus far in the season had been at a rate far heavier than in for mer years. Now three new balls is the maximum single sale un der the salvag-rationing plan. Under the exchange plan, which now has been in effect for ten days, an allowance of five cents is granted for each old ball valued at 60 cents or less when new, ten cents for 85 cent balls. Complaints have been rare, McGrath reported, and pro fessionals at private clubs in the Detroit district are cam paigning among their members to encourage them to turn in used and discarded balls. The plan is a step to help re cover some of the 36.000,000 used golf balls manufacturers say are lying in discard. The future of golf depends upon utilization of those balls for reprocessing as long as the existing ban on use of new rub ber for manufacture of golf balls eists. McGrath contends. DETROIT LOSES TWO TO YANKS New Yorkers Stretch League Lead By Copping Double Header From Tigers DETROIT, May 16.— UP)—1Tire New York Yankees took both ends of a doubleheader with the De troit Tigers, 6-1 and 2-1, today, stretching their lead in the Amer ican league to a game and a half over the Cleveland Indians, who divided a twin bill with the Wash ington Senators. Ernie Bonham, unbeaten pitch ing leader of the American lea gue, turned in his fifth straight triumph with a five-hit perform ance in the opener, although Bar ney McCoskey snapped the Yankee Ace’s string of consecutive shut out innings at 22 when he homered in the fourth inning for Detroit’s only run. Spud Chandler pitched the Yanks to victory in the second game, yielding seven safeties for his fourth success against one defeat. The bombers were held to six hits by Paul (Dizzy) Trout in the aft erpiece, but one of them was Joe DiMaggio’s eighth home run of the season. 2 (FIRST GAME) Score by innings: NEW YORK _ 000 011 003—6 9 1 DETROIT _ 000 100 000—1 5 2 Runs batted in—McCosky, Crosetti 2, Keller, Hassett 2.

Lieut. H. A. Johnson, coach of the Camp nine, has laid stress on “game situations” in practice ses sions during the past week. “The men know their fundamen tals, but they’ve been making some bad mistakes under pressure,” Lieutenant Johnson said. “The in fielders are slow in making decis ions, probably because they haven’t been playing together long enough. “But the team has improved a lot since the Shipyard game They're surer of themselves, and PEPSI CLASHES WITH KINGMEN IN LEGION TILT Boatbuilder-Oiler Game At Hilton To Be Cape Fear Loop Feature Match _ By R. J. POWELL. With Pepsi Cola and the Ship yard Progressive team still sitting together on the top of the heap, the first half race in the Cape Fear reaches the half-way mark today with two games scheduled to be played. Pepsi Cola stays out at the sta dium to entertain the re-organized A. L. King nine and the Shipyard remains at Hilton to engage Frank Clemmon’s Amoco Cannoneers in the other contest. Both games be gin at 3:30. A newly-acquired manager and several new players are calculat ed to pep up a downcast King team for their clash with the co leading Cola crew. Walter Park er, former league umpire, is the new King skipper who will at tempt to whip the light-hitting club into the form that accented the Grocery aggregation of 1941. A complete list of the other changes on the King outfit has not been announced but they are ex pected to bolster the club consid erably. However, the same infield of Horton. Singletary. Tyler, and Shands will prevail. Wilbourne will likely twirl. The Pepsi boys, too, expect to be stronger from now on with the addition of Norwood Skipper to the curving corps. Skip, who was slat ed to toss in the rained out Ship yard contest the other night, will probably chunk for PC today with George Neathercutt the hand snatcher. At first will be Farmer or Edens with MacKeithan at sec ond and Snag Allen or Edens at third and Rowan at short. Carter, Benson, and Farrow will be in the outfield. Facing the tough shipyard slug gers, Frank Clemmons will also try out several new candidates in his endless search for a winning combination. Lefty Brew is his choice to' pitch with either Charley Beatha or Sam West on the re ceiving end. Carter may be back at first, Reynolds at second, Pat tinian at short and King at third, but the outfield is a problem, al though Meade and Bohanan have joined Amoco. Of all the loop managers, Ed Urbon, of the Progressive club bers, is, one that is content with his murderers’ row which has re mained intact for the past five victories. Of his three pitching aces, Urbon will likely call on Hal Brosnam to deliver the goods to day against the Amocomen with Taylor catching and Lambert at first, Dejarnett at second, Jordan at short and Bell at third. Urbon, Davis, McCord are the outfielders. —-V Wiliams Paces Bosox To Win Over Brownies ST. LOUIS, May 16.—M— Ted Williams’ homer was the big blow in the Boston Red Sox 4 to 2 victory over the St. Louis Browns today but don’t forget pitcher Tex Hughson allowed, plus a sacrifice, held the Browns to two singles in notching his first victory of t h e season. Only one of the safeties figured in the pair of runs St. Louis got in the fifth. Two of the five walks Hughson allowed, plus a sacriice, put men on second and third, and Don Gutteridge singled both runs home. Vern Stephens wasted the other hit in the seventh. Williams’ circuit smash—his eighth this season—came in the ninth with the doubling Lou Fin ney on base and broke a 2 to 2 tie. Bobby Doerr’s sixth home run of the year started the Sox scoring in the fourth and George Mc Quinn’s error let in another tally that inning. 4 Score by innings: BOSTON - 000 200 002—4 14 2 ST. LOUIS - 000 020 000—2 2 2 Runs batted in—Doerr, Gutteridge 2 Williams 2. Two base hits—Pesky 1, DiMaggio, Finney. Home runs — Doerr Williams. Sacrifices—Swift 2, McQuinn Hughson. Muncrief.

The camp team scrimmaged every day last week against the Medical detachment squad, pos sibly the best unit team at Davis. Today’s game affords an oppor tunity to Camp Davis ball fans to see their own outfit in action. There won’t be any admission charge and a large crowd is ex pected. -V LACK OF VITAMIN C Scurvy, a nutritional disease among infants, is believed caused by lack of vitamin C in the food. -V The area of the District of Co lumbia is 70 square miles. Seaboard Baseball Play Begins Today Four Teams Are Set For Opening Of New Amateur League Sunday BY R. j. POWELL With Jupiter Pluvius’ coopera tion, the new Seaboard amateur baseball league will spring the latch on it’s 1942 campaign here this afternoon with games slated for Robert Strange and at Mason boro sound. Skipper Lee Rochelle brings his Sunset Park boys up to Robert Strange to test the Su-Ann Shoe men who have piled up an impos ing spring training record in these parts in the past few weeks. Eoth these clubs will use the Strange diamond as their home lot through out the season. The Mason Clam diggers break back into the local baseball picture by entertaining the Shipyard Fitters outfitters on the Sounder’s field in the oilier clash of the day. Both tilts will get underway at 3 o’clock and at each game a open ing day program is being ar ranged. Morris Grissom, of the Su-Ann club is in charge of the Robert Strange festivities and Ad. Hewlett, Jr., is lining up the cere monies for the Masonboro’s first big turn-out of the season. As for the playing end, all of the clubs with the exception of the Shoemen who have laced several opponents lately, are of a com parative unknown quality, and to day’s games should not be taken as an indication of true strength. However all teams have some very promising material w h i ch points to some more good boll here. Today’s starting lineup for Sun set Park will feature Bert Nesbit on the mound, Peggie Dyches catching, R. Dyches, first base, Merrit, second base, O’Sullivan, shortstop, W. Rogers, third base, M. Rogers, former high school star, left field, Robert Shipp, soft ball pitcher, centerfield, and Good win, right field. Opposing the Sunset team for Su-Ann will be Collie pitching to King with M. Marshburn station ed at first, Dixon at second, Butler at short, and H. Marshburn at third. In the outfield Pilot Gris som will have Newton, Borneaman and Parker. Down on the sound, once again the Todds and the Farrows will take to the field to slap the apple for the Clamdiggers. E. Farrow or E. Todd will be in there firing away with Dan George on the re ceiving end. Herman Farrow’s Clam infield will be manned by J. Todd at first, L. Todd at second, J. Farrow at short, and another J. Farrow at third. Miller and Pepper break the Todd-Farrow monopoly by team ing with D. Todd in the garden patrol. A team originating out of the fit ting section at the shipyard will be the party of the second part at Masonboro. Their probable lineup lists Stephens as pitcher, Costin catching, Sumerlier playing first, Marshall holding second with Mc Gee at short and Butlir in t h e hot corner, and D. Lamburt, P. Lambert and Hackett composing the hawk squad. 4 -V No Candidates File Expense Accounts Here None of the 44 candidates for county office in the Democratic primary has filed a preliminary report of expenses and contribu tions as is required by the state election laws, Clerk of Court T.
