PAGE SIX Today's Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY 1 « United Press Sports Writer IP : & NEW YORK OP) —On the eve of the opening otf base ball’s major league campaign the American Reef Cross rede to the rescue today with advice on how the fans can fcvoid hypertension, ulcers and busted schnozzolas. ' Os course, you may not have as much fun, but there’s riot of sense in a manual provided by the baseball-con scious Brooklyn chapter entitled: “How To Avoid Hyper njesia Straphicoi Enthusiastae, Ulcus Brooklynensis Lu j Scrum and Broken Noses.” 5 I know a few guys who wouldn’t have wound up in me hospital and or the pokey had they taken this ad vice to heart. ,r Yankee Hangover The thesis is pointed at Brooklyn, where hospitals re ; ported an increase in ulcers, high blood pressure and apo plexy during last fall’s World Series loss to the Yankees. ; These illnesses boom simultaneously, too, with spring | training, Dodger-Giant series and the final weeks of the ? pennant race. But you don’t have to root for the Dodgers to get into this shape. You can do just as well rooting for a team like > Pittsburgh or Baltimore. So possibly any and all baseball | tfc'ns could benefit by the suggested rules, which follow: I** 1. Stay calm and relaxed. Let the team do its own fc worrying. |i 2. Sit still. Avoid contusions and sprains from colli «ons, falls and sudden movements. 3. Root calmly. Avoid sore throats, fisticuff-provoking * insults and lost bridgework. 4. Control your temper. Wait ’till you can punch a pil 30w which won’t punch back. Eat Carefully U. 5. Eat carefully. Avoid biting or swallowing at crucial moments to avert choking, bitten fingers, broken teeth and strained digestive systems. : ; 6. Don’t flail about in excitement. You might hit somebody or run your hand through the television screen. I ‘ 7. Keep your pate covered outdoors. Avoid sunstroke. | 8. Drink cold drinks in moderation. “Hot” ones, too. | T 9. Put head between knees on poor baserunning, | dropped third strikes and enemy home runs. This pre sents fainting. ; ; L TO- Take a Red Cross first aid course. Then you’ll be jgady for any emergency short of a swan dive off the top «t the stadium roof. There may be several unnecessary warnings in the N list. For instance, I quit buying soft drinks when they Shopped selling it in bottles. Who ever dented the con- I erete head of an umpire with a paper cup? j; • All in all though, the manual contains good advice. I; £ There’s just one suggestion. If Brooklyn winds up in the World Series against the Yankees again the Red Cross ;{jetter rush through another book of rules. - Because if Brooklyn loses another like the last one, t 'there won’t be any sick fans left in Flatbat. They’ll all be dead from a slight case of hari kari! i Senators May Prove Dark Horse In Majors I COLOMBIA, S. C.

In the outfield it will be either Roy Sievers or Clyde Vollmer in left, Jim Busby in center and Tom tJm phlett in right It stacks up as one of the best defensive clubs In the league, although neither Sievers nor Vollmer rank with the finest oj fielders. Harris Isn't worried on that score. *’l think we have a real kid com ing up in Angel Scull,” he said. “If either Sievers or Vollmer can give us power in the early innings and help us take the lead, I can always put Scull In for defensive protect ion.” Scull, a speed merchant, batter only .288 at Charleston (W. Va.) last season, but shows developing prom ise at a hitter. And he can go and get ’em Just like Busby, whom Harris considers the best center field in the league, and Umphlett. Like the outfield, the Infield also has speed and fielding finesse. Both departments are short In power, but big Griffith Stadium is not built for power swingers. The fen css are too far away. Defense and speed are more important. But how about those 77 games they have to play on the road, where power Is more important? “If you win at home and get that winning complex, I'm sure the road games will take care of themselves,” , Harris reasons.

Reeard Sparta Writer The Dunn High Greenwaves won their third consecutive baseball game of this season Friday after noon at LaFayette behind the aix hit pitching of William Corbett— this time by a 8-4 score. They had to come from behind to do it however, as errors, a long triple, and a ground infield out set up a two run LaFayette lead In the last half of the first inning. The Waves picked up one of these ir. the top of the third when cen terfielder Dickie Surles walloped a long home run between the school and the gymnasium In left field. He had crossed the plate before Lawrence, the left fielder, had got ten to the ball. Then in the fourth inning, the Waves burst out for four more runs on three hits and two walks to take the lead, which La- Fayette could never overcome. Corbett gave up only six hits, two less than he yielded to Boone Trail in his other performance of the season. He struck out four and didn’t give up a single base on balls, wnite his mates pounded out ten hits in the seven inning affair. CARTER AND SURLES LEAD Catcher Russell Carter and out fielder Dickie Surles led the Green waves batting. Carter collected three solid singles in four times at bat while Surles blasted out a home run and two doubles in five trips to the plate while getting credit for three RBIs. Carter punched two runs across the plate with his bat. Goff, Godwin, Pope and Jackson, each singled lor the Greenwaves to round out the ten Dunn hits. For LaFayette, Bailey led with two for four—including a last In ning home run with one mate aboard base. He had two RBIs to his credit. Sears got one hit—a long triple to the school house, and Law rence, O’Connell and Wells all sin gled during tjhe contest. Sears’ triple and Bailey’s l homer are the only two extra base hits that have been gotten against the Greenwaves pit chers this yegtr. SCORING The home beam countered twice in the first infling and twice in the last. The Dunn boys crossed the plate for one In the third, four in Hoderlein will be the spare infleld ers with Tom Wright a utility out fielder. Behind the plate It will be Ed Fltz Gerald and! Joe Tipton with rookie Bob who hit .292 at Chattanooga, the . third man. The big five in pitching will be Bob Porterfield, tihe shutout artist of the majors last year with nine and a 22-game winner; Mickey Mc- Dermott, who won 18 with shi Red Sox; Frank Shea (12-7); Chuck Stobbs (11-8) and Connie Marrero (8-7). Three rookies figure highly In Harris’ pitching plans Dean Stone, who won only eight at Chat tanooga; Bob Ross, a returned ser viceman; and Bunky Stewart, an other Chattanooga graduate with a 14-10 record. For relief there will be southpaw Johnny Schmitz (2-7) and Sonny Dixon (5-8). Two Cubans—righthanders Ca milio Pasquale, who is and Gon zalo Naranjo, who is only 19, also may stick. ntiiimii’iud.i ATTENTION LOVERS OF SWEET POTATO PIEI 1 WWe Ml oil of North Carolina's production of swtota polHii goo* tan© pie making, all Tarheels worn tooppy to team the 1959 crop of on estimated <MMOO bettaeh.fi 420,000 bushels mere than theta p»o*csd tat 19921 TMt k an important money crop and conMbmo* tat part ta» making North CoroHno a ImD In fn woftc# pfgy oiml *nc6ot coMfttMon to more pleasant iMnq for Worth - la flllfe LkJuaAfuf* ttalfjgmiirtUß •uwirtti rtwnn»dltasniin)st wopossnlwodendec taomHont for the legal ode of’hear and do > ; ; ' ■ V..:\ : . •} ■ ; . »’ TUtt UUUL* RECORD.
