FARROW SPEAKS AT LEAGUE MEET “A Ballplayer’s Ball Play er” Is Theme Of In spiring Address By R. 3. POWELL Roodie Farrow, financial secre tary and umpire commissioner of the Cape Baseball association, was the guest speaker at the regular meeting of the Seaboard amateur baseball loop held here Wednes day night. Farrow’s address came at the close of the amateur’s business session and as his subject he choose the inspiring theme, "A Ballplayer’s Ballplayer”. Follow ing his talk, the Cape Fear of ficial, who up until this season managed a club in the semi-pro circuit, advanced his idea for a “tag day” benefit game for two of Wilmington’s outstanding base ball personalities, Silent Frank Hines and Mac “Rabbit” Griffith, both of whom are out of the local baseball picture because of illness. According to Mr. f arrow, tne game could be played some Sun day afternoon with the two lead ing clubs in the Cape Fear at that time furnishing the fireworks. Both the Cape Fear and the Seaboard would launch a campaign to sell tags that would allow the holders to see the game thereby getting an opportunity to watch the best baseball in his section and at the same time further a worthy cause. The Seaboard voted to consider the plan at their next meeting. During the business portion of the meeting, the league president appointed Wade Pierce, of the P & F club, to a committee of one to investigate the possibility of get ting the old Bellamy park in condition if permission for the league use the run-down field could be secured. At present the loop has to stage a double head er at Robert Strange each week in order to complete it’s schedule. The Seaboard is sorely in need of another diamond. Other action taken by the board was granting the Carolina Tigers permission to sign player Billy Pieper, who was once a member of the Cape Fear loop. Sunday’s schedule finds the Su-An boys go ing down to meet the Clamdiggers on the sound with the other two games slated for either Bellamy and Robert Strange or both at Robert Strange. If Bellamy Park is secured then the Tigers and the Fitters will meet there, but if the old Pirate fort is not obtained then the latter teams will play the first game of a double header at the Strange diamond with Sunset and P & F clashing in the afterpiece. -V Last Rites Conducted For Eddie Mead NEW YORK, May 28.—(JP)—1The Tenth avenue mob and the Broad way boys and girls said so long to Eddie Mead today, “Beef-Stew” Eddie, the big fat fellow who came out of Hell's Kit chen, was buried in Calvary ceme tery on Long Island after a funeral mass in Sacred Heart church, hard by Tenth avenue, where he was born and grew up. There were nearly 500 persons at the mass, and they came from all places and all stations. Fight folks and show people were there, and politicians and just plain guys and girls from the West Side. They all k&ew Large Eddie as a big hearted, good-natured fellow, with an enormous appetite for beef stew and a reputation for never having refused a bid for a hand out. KIRKWOOD TIES NELSON ON 32ND (Continued from Pure Nine) under par—for the front nine in the afternoon. The tournament “dark horse,” Leland Gibson of Kansas City, blew sky high in the afternoon to fall an unexpectedly easy victim to Wood, 7 and 6. At noon the Open champion was only 1-up and it looked like he had a real scrap on his hands, but Gibson started the second round with a string of fives and lost the first five holes. After that Wood waltzed in. Snead, one of the Navy’s newest recruits, had no difficulty crushing Willie Goggin of White Plains, N. Y., 9 and 8. Like Hogan, a tre mendous driver, Sammy breezed around in 35-34—69 in the morning to take a 5-up lead and needed only to shoot par to complete the slaughter after lunch. Demaret, one of the leading play boys of the western world, con tinued to impress his fellow profes sionals and to confound his critics by the unusually serious, deadly quality of his play. He was three under par for 3^ hoes in beating Tommy Harmon of Montclair, N. J., 3 and 2 today and he was club house favorite to knock Wood out of the meet tomorrow. The closest, most evenly fought match of the day was the one In which Cooper, the tournament medalist from Minneapolis, finally nosed out Lloyd Mangrum of Chi cago, on the 36th green, 1-up. They stood even at 18 after each had shot a stubborn 71, and they stayed that way most o' the afternoon. Mangrum was 1-up through the 27th but Cooper squared it on the 28th, went in front by winning the 31st with a par and wen out as they halved the last five holes. Turnesa also was forced to go to the final green to subdue Harold “Jug” McSpaden of Philadelphia, 1-up, but their bout was somewhat wild and wooly. They took turns exploring the rough in the morn ing, when each scored a 75. The payoff came on the 36th hole when McSpaden slashed his drive into the woods and lost a shot getting out. Ed Dudley needed only to shoot par for 34. Holesto eliminated Tony Penna of Dayton, Ohio, 4 and 2. Tony couldn’t putt a lick in the morning and was three down start ing the second round. YANKEES DEFEAT ATHLETICS, 3-2 Joe Gordon Gives New York Winning Run Over Philadelphia NEW YORK, May 28— (g> —Joe Gordon waited until the ninth in ning to stretch his batting streak to 13 straight games today and then he came through with the blow that gave the New York Yankees a 3 to 2 decision over the Philadelphia Athletics.

JOHNNYBACHERT DEFEATS BIBLE Classy Camp Davis Welter weight Stops Adversary In Third Round By SGT. BILL KUCYK The fistic rise of Johnny Bachert, classy Camp Davis welterweight from the A. A. A. school, reached a new height when he scored a third-round T. K. O. at the expense of Claude Bible of the 514th last Friday night in Farnsworth Hall. But to Johnny who is the hardest working boxer in camp it was a reward for his hard and earnest efforts. Friday’s bout was only the sixth in his short career which be gan last November and his victory over the more experienced Bible proved popular with the fans. Each night Johnny can be found working out at Farnsworth Hall and lack of proper equipment never forced him to hesitate. When he didn’t have shoes, it was common to see him in his bare feet or stocking feet. When gloves were not available for use on the punch ing bag, Johnny shadow-boxed or even put on the bigger mitts with the bigger boys, risking having IMPORTANT NOTICE Voters Brunswick, Columbus i New Hanover and Pender Counties I ask for your vote and support of my candidacy for DISTRICT SOLICITOR I will be in this campaign to the end. If I do not win in the first Primary, I will continue in the race throughout a second Primary (June 27, 1942) and until the voters have finally made their choice. I have no agreement with any candidate in this race, and have made none. There is only one issue in this campaign—Who is best qualified in every respect to serve you as District Solicitor? The answer to this question should determine your choice. I invite a full inves tigation of my ability, experience and conduct. Ask the judges, lawyers, and people who know me. Then vote for me and nomi nate me in the First Primary. Sincerely, CLIFTON L. MOORE [his head knocked off to gain a few pointers. When he did get hurt, one would hear no complaints because deep in Johnny’s fighting heart, he figured he’d gained a pointer or two. Today, Bachert is well-condition ed. He knows that he isn’t an ex pert but still has a lot to learn. He knows what it is to take a punch on the chin, and he can really dish it out, too. But more than that, Johnny has learned to fight clean, he has learned to fight hard and most of all —he has learned to fight the American way.
