any of them.

Assistant District Attorney Vin
cent O’Connor called him “the sum
of all £hat is wrong in the basket
ball. picture to recent years.” : I
O’Connor said Goldsmith “was
responsible for the corruption of
whole groups of players, more than
anyone else in the city.”
Goldsmith was arrested, Satur
this time. In aquiring this 500
mark, the Dunn club made 13 hits
in the first three games, and- then
in the last game, the locals pound
ed out 12 hits. The coach thinks
that , his boys have found the range
now, and this means that the
weakest department has been
strengthened.
Godwin says that the defensive
ability of his boys has proven ad-
day to the climax of a police
hunt which began Feb. M. Be

equet; with the hitting to go with
it, the Grenwave should make a
.splendid record this season for
such a young ball club.
Coach Godwin's choice for the
mound chore tonight will most
likely be Johnny Pearce who hurl
ed the win over Rockingham on
last Friday night. Johnny pleased
his coach in the Rosckingham
game when he showed his ability
to get out of a tight spot. Brother
Monds wil be his receiver.
Billy Thompson, another leading
hurler for the locals, has been un
der medical care lately and will be
a doubtful choice.
If the Dunn nigh boys can top
the Sampson leaders, then they
will be a tough bunch of- young
ball players to whip from tonight,
until the end of the season.

To Ev«ry Sports Fan
From The Sportsman
By JOE CAVINESS, Record Sports Editor _____
The Brooklyn Dodgers are the odds-on favorite to cop the National
League Pennant for the 1951 season to this writer's opinion. The num
ber 2 spot should go to Leo Durocfter, oft yeah, and to the Giants. The
Whiz Kids will make it a three-way battle, but the Phils will run out of
steam before they reach the finish lirie.
The Dodgers were nosed out of the title in the last game with the
Phils last season, and, the pitching didn’t come through for the Dodg
ers as It should have, and, the hustle and heads-up play that is possible
In the Dodger players was lacking last season (in comparison to the
previous season). Taking all of these things Into consideration, if any
one of them is remedied, the Brooks should take the cake.
Leo Durocher, Who is undoubtedly one of the most capable man
agers in basebal, will have the big boys, the Giants that is, right up
there at the top. This is Durocher’s- third year with the Giants who
were on the celler when he arrived, and Lippy has gone against the
wishes and strategy of the fans and experts and molded a contender.
He is a man who never could break 300 as a hitter and yet was a valu
able performer. He is a believer of strength through the middle—pitch
ing, scond and short, catching, and a top fielding center fielder; he has
achieved this. By sacrificing two of the league’s top, sluggers, Durocher
aquired the Dark-Stanky second base combination. By placing these
boys In the lineup and shufflling the outfield,Leo has a hustling, fighting
ball club with a good defense as well as plate punch—and good base
running.
The only comment on the Phils is that they Just won’t repeat. It
is a young ball club and steadiness does not fit in.
The lineup as seen from this angle for the season finish;
1. Brooklyn Pittsburg
2. New York 6- St. Louis
3. Philadelphia 7 - Chicago
4. Boston 8. Cincinnati . . ..
Same as in the A. L., the top three are a sure thing, maybe, but the
Braves could be ousted by the dark horse Pirates or the Qards.
If the Cards don’t get fairly good pitching, and the Cubs do, neither
will have top hurling), then the Cubs may be a big surprise of the year
and the Cards will be the big flop.
Cincinnati is not necessarily the poorest team in the league. The
Cubs Pirates Cards, or even the Braves could fall below the Reds if
some’failure devedops. The top three should have a humdinger of a
race, and the bottom five will have a battle also as seen from this angle.
City Seeking

same date Hobbs’ resignation will
become effective.
City Manager Hobbs, center of
a stormy and bitter controversy
which has waged over his office
for the past two months, tender
ed his resignation yesterday to
Mayor Ralph E. Hanna and the
city bo awl of commissioners.
The resignation will become ef
fective on May 21st, and he Is
scheduled to report to the Navy
at San Diego on June 14th for
active sea duty.
So bitter has the controversy
over the city manager become
that an election was held on April
14th to determine whether or not
the town should retain the sys
tem.
Those favoring the city man
ager system won by a vote of al
most two-to-one vote, but both
advocates and opponents of the
systfcm demanded Hobb6 resigna
tion of the city council.
OUSTER GROUP IN MAJORITY
A week ago, members of the
city coukcll voted Hobbs coopera
tion and' support for the rest of
their term, but three days later
City Commissioner B. A. Bracey
joined Mayor Ralph Hanna and
Mayor Pro tern Joe Wilkins and
Issued a statement saying his re
tention as city manager "would
not be best for the Town of Dunn
or for Mr. Hobbs.”
This made a majority of board
members committed to the oust
er of the city manager, and his
resignation was handed In today.
Mr. Hobbs’ letter of resignation
made no mention of the contro
versy, however, and he stated that
he was resigning to begin service
with the Navy.
Hobbs expressed appreciation to
the officials for selecting him as
the city's chief administrative of
fice. He also took occasion to
praise the board for some of its
accomplishments during the eight
months he has served as city
manager.
In closing his letter, he remind
ed the board that, “I came ftere

without any entangling alliances
with group or groups of people,
and when I go I shall go in the

Mr. Hobbs came to Dunn from
Raleigh, where he served as as

Officials declined comment on
the city manager’s resignation.

ter of resignation:
On -August 15, 1950, I came to
Dunn as your City Manager, by
unanimous vote of the Board of
Commissioners and I would not
have come under any other con
dition.
For the past eight months you
as a governing body have done
much for the citizens of the Town
of Dunn. You have provided ad
ditional services for our people.
You have sponsored progressvie
legislation in the General Assem
bly for the Town of Dunn. You
have planned for the future of
our water plant; you adopted a
budget which has been an inspira
tional guide for the administra
tion officers of thfe Town of Dunn.
It has be€n a pleasure for me
as your chief administrative of
ficer, or city manager, to come to
Dunn and enjoy the friendships
of the people in this community.
The opportunity to work for you
has been a deep pleasure and a
real challenge to me. I am grate
ful to you that I was your choice
for the position of City Manager
of the Town of Dunn eight
months ago.
As a’ member of the United
States Naval Reserve for the past
nine years, I am always subject to
call by the Navy. I have received
orders from the Navy Department
to report for active duty June 14,
1951. For that reason I am sub
mitting to you now my resigna
tion as City Manager of the Town
of Dunn to be effective Monday,
May 21, 1951, at the close of offi
cial town business on that day.
Let me state to you again as I
did last August 15, 1950, that I
came here without any entangling
alliances with any group or groups
of people, and when I go I shall
go in the same way.
Cordially yours,
R. Thomas Hobbs.
