Series Goes To Gro-Swifts Gro-Swifts, champion of the city softball league, copped the fourth game of a five-game series with an All-Star aggregation and the series yesterday afternoon on the high school diamond, bunching their hits in the sixth inning for four runs, winning the contest 5 to 1. Gro-Swift drew first blood in the second inning when Manager Ed Branch singled. Champion walked, and Kirk Woodlief was safe on an error, at short, Morris flew out, Pulliam walked and Breedlove sin gled. Abbott hit a bounder, with Pulliam being caught for the third out. The All-Stars tied things up in the fifth inning with Rowland Turner walking, and then going to third on Doug Falkner’s hit. Falkner was out on an attempted steal, with Turner scoring on the play. Lufsey flew out to end the inning. Abbott, first up in the sixth in ning, doubled, Richardson sent him home with a single, and took second on the throw to the plate. Smith flew out to short, and Peoples singled Richardson home, taking second on the play for the plate. Branch went out, but Champion doubled to send Peoples home. Kirk Woodlief singled Champion home. Morris ended the inning by bounding out. The Stars outhit Gro-Swift eight to seven, but tossed in two errors. Sam Watkins was on the hill for the losers, ana kept things pretty well in check except for the fatal sixth. Abbott did the hurling for the ners, and worked a nice game. Abbott di dthe hurling for the winners, and worked a nice game. Branch did the catching for the Gro-Swifts, with Hamm behind the bat for the Stars. D. Turner and Rideout, with two hits each, led the losers. The seven Gro-Swift hits were scattered among as many players.

(N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1939 Gridders Os Duke Report On Friday Several of Boys Al ready on Hand; Open With Davidson o n Sept. 30. Durham, Aug. 31.—Duke univer sity’s Blue Devils, successors to the famous Iron Dukes of last year, were gathering here today to report to Coach Wallace Wade tomorrow morning for the initial fall workout. One of the early arrivals was George McAfee, main hope at the quarterback spot. Several of the boys were on the campus either working at construction jobs or attending summer school. The gridders will receive their equipment tomorrow morning and go to work immediately. The sched uled time for the opening drill is nine o’clock. There will be two practice sessions daily. Time for the afternoon workout will depend on the weather—late if hot,, earlier if cool. Coach Wade’s biggest tasks this fall will be the reorganization of the backfield which was swept by gradu ation, the finding of tackles and the solving of the center problem. Sev en of the starters of the Rose Bowl game will be missing. Best bets to get the call at these posts in early drills are George Mc- Afee, quarterback: Wes McAfee, half back: Roger Robinson, fullback, with Easy Eaves rounding out the quar tet at his old blocking back post. Two of the main candidates will be Jap Davis, at blocking back or full back, and Steve Lach, a sophomore, at halfback. Tony Ruff a and Alex Winterson, 1938 reserves, appear to have the best bets at the tackle lobs with sophomore Bob McDonough still in the running. Gordon Burns will get the call at the center post. There will be less battling for the ends where Bill Bailey, 8010 Perdue, Dinky Darnell and Jim Marion all return from last year and at the guards where Captain Allen John son and Frank Ribar are slated to hold forth. Coach Wade will also pay atten tion to another all-important task— the developing of reserves. Coach Dennis (Dutch) Stanley will make his bow as end coach of the Blue Devils—only change in the Duke set-up. Stanley came to Duke this spring from Florida to succeed Carl Voyles, now head coach at William and Mary. 3 Field Goals Give Pros Win Over All-Stars Chicago, Aug. 31.—(AP) —The New York Giants, national profes sional football champions, defeated the college All-Stars, 9 to 0, before 81,456 in flood-lighted Soldier field last night, scoring all points by field goals.

EAST Elon Drills Get Started With Friday Elon College, Aug. 31. —A squad of approximately 50 men is scheduled to report tomorrow morning for the initial practice of the year at Elon College. Coach Horace Hendrickson has scheduled two drills per day for the first week. Very little time will be given to preliminary workouts since all of the men have been ordered to report ready for heavy work. Only two weeks remain before the opening clash of the season with Wake Forest under the lights at Greensboro Saturday, September 16. and Coach Hendrickson is wasting no time on “frills” getting ready fcr this contest. Not only is Coach Hendrickson getting ready for the Wake Forest clash, Jmt he is preparing fcr nine more tough games whicn follow in this order: High Point, LaSalle, Catholic University, Lenior Rhyne, Naval Apprentice, Appalachian, Ca tawba, Western Carolina and Guil ford. Capital Gossip By HENRY AVERILL Raleigh, Aug. 31. —After the re codification of North Carolina’s my riad of laws is completed there is a chance that lawyers will no longer wrathfully refer to the “Consolidat ed Statutes” as “Concealed Statutes”. Speaking before the Fourth Dis trict Bar Association at Goldsboro this afternoon, Attorney General Harry McMullan promised that every effort is being made to make the in dex to the new code intelligible. “A special effort is being made to perfect the index, as to which so much complaint has been made,” said Mr. McMullan, “The depart ment itself will make a complete index for comparison with that pro vided by the Michie company so that its index will be available for future use by the State in any other publi cation of its laws.” , Raleigh looked like it was enter taining a political convention, or the General Assembly Wednesday, what with Dr. Ralph McDonald, Speaker Libby Ward, Mecklenburg Represen tative Jim Vogler, Lieutenant Gov ernor W. P. Horton, State Senators Emmett Bellamy of New Hanover, Jack Morphew of Graham and Bill Rodman of Beaufort, John Folger of the Surry Folgers, just a few of the greats and near-greats seen around and about. •With all those fellows, it looked like it ought to be easy to settle the political situation and maybe find out who’s going to be the next gov ernor; but after talking to every one of these named in the paragraph pre ceding this one, it’s all just as clear as whether or not there is going to be a Wbrld war. On one thing they were (with the exception of Horton) unanimous, the governor’s race is. an awful muddle with most people evidencing no particular interest in any candidate now widely mention ed. R. O. Self, chief clerk of the Utili ties Commission, acting for the State agency and also in his capacity as an Interstate Commerce Commission attache, has about ready for release a new consolidated and coordinated collection of bus schedules for the entire southeast. He says there are no drastic changes in existing routes and times, but that the new time tables, which will go into effect September 15, will be more convenient for the public. Gordon Gray and other Young Democratic officials have worked out a counter-offensive to prevent any political bickering at the Charlotte convention. Their idea is simplicity itself. They’ll just keep the boys so busy endorsing freight rate equality for the South that they won’t have time to get round to brawling over the New Deal and a third term. Nice work, if they can do it. Better Egg Laws Sought for State By Poultrymen Daily Bispateh Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Alig. 31. —A determined drive for enactment of a more strin gent “egg grading” law by the 1941 General Assembly seems certain as the result of a meeting of here. The session, over which D. S. Coltrane, assistant to the commis sioner of agriculture presided, was a serious one and showed that the poultrymen of the State are convinc ed there should be stricter regula tions of egg grading and selling than there is under the law enacted by this year’s legislature which, in brief, provides only that cold storage eggs i shall be marked as such. The meeting heard that all slick ers are not from the city when T. O. Hinton, of Champion, said he knows instance after instance in which cold storage eggs have been bought in the city stores, carried to the country, and later brought back into the city and sold as strictly fresh, one-day yard eggs. Those attending also heard Cale J. Burgess, Raleigh lawyer, poultry man and head of the United Dry Forces, take time out from the task of making North Carolina prohibi tion-conscious long enough to plug for a statute which would make grading of eggs so simple that any one buying them will know what he’s getting. They also heard a real rarity—a State College man praising the De partment of Agriculture, when they heard Dr. Roy H. Dearstyne, Col lege Poultry Department head laud the Department for its cooperation in aiding the poultry industry. Sporadic attempts to enact a strict egg grading law have been made in the General Assembly, but most have failed, often, as in 1937 when a bill introduced by Gaston’s Dave Del linger was laughed to death as “just another bad egg bill”.

Bulldog Grid Prospects Are Not Best In Land Fred Kilpatrick, New Comer, to Find Little Seasoned Material to Mold a Team; Grad uation Hit Ranks Hard. With the opening of school just two weeks off, football talk among Henderson high school has moved from the spasmodic state to a con stant buzz, but a review of the pros pects reveals a tough job for Coach Fred Kilpatrick, of Rich Square, who reports here with the opening of school for his first season. Kilpatrick will take over the coaqh ing duties left vacant by the resigna tion of L. L. “Bing” Miller, physical education director and coach of ath letics. Miller went to Raleigh schools, where he landed a more lucrative post. Gone from the squad is the bril liant passer, Billy Candler, consid ered one of the best high school pass ers in this section of the state. Can dler could leap into the air and hit his mark 35 to 40 yards away With the accuracy of a* crack rifleman. Along with the passing of Candler, graduation also took Dick Callaway, hard plunging back, Robert Rideout, best center in recent years, Lonnie Harris, captain last year and tackle, who gained prominence by being mentioned on several all-State high school selections. Along with these mainstays, prac tically the entire starting lineup of last year was graduated, and some of the reserve material. Coach Kilpatrick will have to SAVE ss io« EACH TIRE IN THIS GREAT MLE OF US.ROYA SAFETY TIRES 1939*s Quicker Stopping Safety Tires Endorsed By Car Engineers • QUICKER- STOPPING “BRAKE-ACTION” TREAD.. . 2500 extra gripping edges open up the instant brakes are applied... grip and hold the road... stop cars quicker, straighter, safer on even the slipperiest of wet pavements. • 38% MORE NON-SKID TREAD MILES • CHOSEN FOR AMERICA’S FINEST 1940 CARS • ENGINEERED TO MATCH NEW CAR PERFORMANCE pn r F ONE-MINUTE DEMONSTRATION I 1 Ktt PROVES SAFETY ADVANTAGES.
