GOLF TOURNEY OPEN TO SERVICEMEN
Following the first golf tournament held In Dunn, this column
suggested that the Dunn Miniature Golf Course sponser a tourna
ment for the servicemen stationed in Harnett County. Charles Johnson,
owner of the course, met the suggestion with hearty approval but
| suggested that the tournament be delayed until more of the men
would be able to enter—at that time only a small majority of the
entire group had arrived in Dunn. This was a sound suggestion for
it can be easily understood that at the time Dunn was more able to
meet the demands of the smaller group than they are now able to
cater to the much larger number.
Charles has followed through with this suggestion—lndirectly.
In planning the tournament, play has been left open to both civilian 1
and military personnel. This istuation Is only fair for it would not |
be to the best interest of the course to exclude its’ regular players !
from such an event. The regular players at the course enjoy the I
game and receive an added pleasure when the competition is high. I
The prizes add an extra Incentive to the players but the biggest
award is the thrill of winning. It gives the winner a feeling of ac
complishment. The prizes for the tournament were picked with
special care so they would be in line with the servicemen entered.
The watch and fountain pen are both fine gifts and the sport coat
and shirts are exceptionally well in line for the servicemen are allowed
to wear civilian clothes.
TOURNEY JOINS LIST OF SERVICES
The golf tourney is another Job well done to be added to the grow
ing list of aids by the people of Dunn for the servicemen. The towns
people have been working to make their stay here as pleasant as
possible. The churches are sponsoring the reading, writing, and game
rooms. And Mr. Charles D. Hutaff should receive a special congratu
lations for installing showers in the Woman’s Club for their use.
Mr. Hutaff is a sport fan in Dunn who readily saw the need of the
men and hoped to do something about it. As the father of three
boys, perhaps it was a little easier for him to realize the need of
these men.
The people of Dunn are finding that it is exceptionally easy to help
these men for they are conducting themselves in a fashion that is
a compliment to the United States Army. Even the most skeptical
are pitching right in with discriptive adjectives to describe the well
behavior of the men.
KPL WORLD SERIES AT NiOHT
The citiens of Dunn came to the rescue of the Knee Pants League
by eoiJerfbuting the necessary funds to meet the expenses for a
night baseball game. In contributing to the game, the people were
not merely "giving,” but were showing the members of the league
that they were interested in them and their doings.
Mr. Taylor had stated that he did not feel that it should be
necessary for him to go out and ask for contributions for the game.
He was entirely right. Mr. Taylor gives more than money to these
boys. He offers them guidance, a good time, and training in the
American way of life This is more than most of the other citizens
of Dunn do for such a large number of boys.
, the needs, two of the league members, Herman Godwin
and William Corbett, organized the league and raised the necessary
contributions. These boys want to exhibit to all Dunnites that they not
only ’ff/n to play ball, but that they DO play ball and play it well
and with all their hearts.
The little "World Series” is scheduled for next Wednesday Night
—lets everyone be there and cheer the boys.

TK-3 COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL scandal erupts anew as Nicholas Englisis
(top, right), 26, is escorted by Detective Jerry Turner to the New York
District Attorney’s office. After questioning in connection with alleged
bribery of players on the 1949 team of Bradley University, of Peoria, 111,
Englisis was arrested. Two former Bradley stars, Charles Grover (bot
tom, left) and Bill Mann (right), were among those named by the
Peoria County Attorney as admitting acceptance of $7,200 in bribes to
trim the scores for the benefit of gamblers. (International)
TODAY'S SPORTRAIT
NEW YORK.—(UP)—Luke Eas
ter, who picked on Allie Reynolds
for the first home run of his major
league career, has been bothered
by the 'Yankee righthander ever
since.
“There’s no better guy off the
diamond than Allie, but whenever
I see him warmin’ up to pitch I
start frettin’,” Cleveland’s'luscious
larruper said as he waited his turn
THIS DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C.
in batting practice. “Allie’s the
toughest pitcher I ever came
across in this man’s league, or any
other. He pitches me tight and is
just wild enough to keep me loose.
I Just have too much trouble with
that boy.”
But Hal Newhouser is Luke’s
cousin at the plate.
"Hal’s a nice boy to bat against,
i I hit him most of the time only I
- don’t see him around as much as
I used to.”
Faster, a towering 230 pounds of
black dynamite, carries most of
Cleveland’s pennant hopes in his
bat. Casey Stengel called him the
“Big Guy” the Indians must have
to win. And their “Big Guy" missed
14 games earlier this season when
his left leg went dead after he
injured a muscle stretching for a
bad throw.
IT STILL HURTS
“You can feel the bsace right
down there,” he said, his big
hands guiding the way to a section
above his knee. "It still hurts some
and slows me down on the close
ones but I’m all right. I gotta be.
boy, because we’re goto’ right into
the World Series, don’t fool your
self.”
And Luke figures that If the leg
holds up he can get 30 homers out
of the season. He had hit 16 in
games played through Tuesday,
July 24.
“This is a nice park for hitting
even if we’re havin' some losin’
troubles in It,” Luke said. “That’s
a nice little place out there to pop
’em.” And he pointed toward the
295-foot sign in right field.
But Easter, who was the rage of
the Pacific Coast League two years
a?o, has popped ’em a lot further
than that.
Roy Campanella of Brooklyn
recalls a 500-footer that Easter
smashed eight rows back Into the
remote centetfleld bleachers at the
Polo Grounds. That one -occurred
when Easter, was with the Home
stead Grays, a Negro club. And
last season Easter hoisted a elout
447 feet into the upper , deck In the
Indians’ Municipal Stadhim. The
blast brought out a surveying party
the next d*y, which dfedtiea that
It was the longest hit In that
cavernous parks’ history. •
