TWO WORTHY FOES WILL MEET,TO-DAY The college fane of the State have their eyes centred to-day on the fame at Greensboro between the University and Quilford College which promises to be one of the beet of the season. Two worthy foes meet each other on thla occaaion and both have blood In the eye. Ouilford haa administered defeat to the Carolina bunch for two successive seasons and the fast ag gregation which now represents tha State's foremost Institution is anx ious to wrest the honors away from the brow of the Quakers. Bldgeway or Hobbs will be on the firing line for the Guilford boys and either Stewart, Hedgepath or Duls will perform for the University, most likely the former who Is regarded as the strongest pitcher of the three when in condition. The University team has struck a fine gait this spring and will make a strong bid for the scalp of the Quakers .his afternoon. It will be a battle of ;he strong and will doubtless be witnessed by several thousand fans. OAK IMDGE HEADED THIS WAY. StroiiK HuiM'li of League and College PlajerM Will Meet Uie Hornets To Day Ft.

WILL TRY TO BUY PRESSLY'S RELEASE It is understood that the loyal fans of Llncolnton will offer the manage ment of the Roanoke club In the Virginia League a fancy price for the release of Buck Pressly. a member of last year's Greenville team. Buck w-ag drafted by Roanoke and will be placed in the outfield, it la understood, to compete with a half dosen others for a place on the team. The Llncolnton fans, so the report goes, want Buck to manage an in dependent team which that town will put out during the summer. A num oer of sports have maintained a good article of ball at Llncolnton for sev eral seasons and generally put out one of the fastest independent ag gregations In the State. Barron Cald well, of Due West, P. C. was the manager for a couple of seasons and congregated about him a great, lot of players. He went to Chester last season, leaving Llncolnton without a good man at the helm. ' GIVEN CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.

Stovall has arrived at the point where he la one of the m osV valuable all-around first basemen in the busi ness. Stovall Is not possessed of ex treme grace, neither Is he a fairy gazelle, but he get the bail, which is the main purpose of a flret-eacker. In addition to that, he can be de pended upon to stand at the plate and take a good, healthy awing; at whatever the opposing pitcher haa to offer. There la class to Stovall's hit ting and to bis fielding. He com menced his professional career In 1902 with tbs Seattle club. Later that season he went to Portland, Ore. During- 190S he did not play ball, but returned to the game the next year. Qn his return he was- with Burlington in the I.-I.-I. League and was bought by Cleveland isr- 1104. When Stovall drat came to the Napa there was a grand battle between him and Claud Rossman for theSlrtt base Job.- Stovall won out and the man agement haa never regretted It. He la as steady aa a el-yak and laat year led the club In hitting. Tor , covering ground and gathering In wild throws he has few equals and no superiors. He goes about his work In a whole hearted manner and is In the game all the time. Stovall was born Novem ber 21, 1811, at Kansas City. -That Is his home, although he has wintered on the coast for several seasons. His start in baseball was due to the fact that his brother, Jess, was a player in advance of him. Stovall is mar ried, and his wife is enjoying the Southern trip with him. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

To take a classic Instance, and to avoid the awkwardness of -referring to possible occurences within the last half century, look at the shlng exam ple o fthe greatest man in our early nevy, one of the very greatest men, in fact, our nevy ever had, John Paul Jones. He was the author, yom know, of our first nevy. drew up the plan, fur nished drawings and specifications for the first shlpsand their arnament; and helped about the bill before the conti nental congress. Well, Just aa his plan waa adopted and the bill passed, and after he had written the best sum mary of what a naval officer ought to be we have ever had a letter that ought to hang now tn the meenroom of every vessel that flies our flag Just about that time John Paul Jones happened to bear one of the great colonial statesmen, a member of the continental congress, talking French with some ladles. An Imp of satan asked him what sort of French the great statesman spoke, and John Paul Jonea waa Just ready enough to ans wer promptly: "Oh. well. It's a great mercy to this country that Mr. Adam's pollltc are not as English as hia French Is." The story may have come In the lapse of time to be a little exaggerated as Mark Twain said the story of his death was; and the sequel may have been merely a political coincidence, though again it may have been a cool estimate of this too ready and too witty sailorman from the James river tobacco plantation away down In Vir ginia. At any rate, when the conti nental congress proceeded to name the officers for the new navy It didn't name .him the first of thfe six captains, or the second, or the sixth. The author of the nevy waa put mong Its lieutenants; and John Paul Jonea never got any further rank from the continental -congress till he had bril liantly earned It In active service.
