This s the etory of a man . . who
pjight tave been a millionaire today.
Back before the depression and Hit
eTt John F. Kenfield was : a Sugar
Daddy in the real sense of the word,
uig vice-president of the Curtis
Candy company, which is known prin
cipally for Baby Ruths, Butterfingers,
and other sweetly sticky confections.
picture it if you can: Kenfield with
a smaller waistline than now, of course
parked firmly behind a desk and
barking orders that made lesser fig
ures in the bon-bon world bop to obey.
He was visibly shaken when the im
portant figures on Cuban sugar
dropped so much as one-tenth a point.
Bat if William Tilden dropped a
tennis match in those years, Ken
field was shaken just as much
In fact, Kenfield was no better off
than the office golfer. Every after
noon, soon as his work wound up, he
motored in great haste to the near
est tennis court, and then spent the
time until dark batting balls back
and forth with some other net ad
dict. He was a prominent instructor
at the Lakeshore Country club, Chi
cago. Let us progress rapidly to the year
1927. Times" were aggravating in the
cacdy business. Little children had no
money with which to purchase Baby
Kuths, and Kenfield saw writing on
the wall. There came the day when
the company president called his part
ner to a conference. '
"Johnny," said the pres., "it looks
bad. In fact, it looks like bankruptcy."
Therefore, John F. Kenfield severed
relationships with the Curtis Candy
company and set forth on a journey.
In the course of this journey he ar
rived at Chapel Hill, where boys played
tennis all day long but had no coach.
"I will coach the lads," Kenfield said
to himself. And he did.
No one at Carolina has regretted
Mr.'Kenfield's choice as tennis coach.
The Chicago boy, who went to work
instead of college, has turned out some
of the finest tennis players and teams
in the nation in the past 12 years.
He's had time to reflect on life,
too. "If I had stayed with the candy
company, look where I'd be today,"
Kenfield says. That's true, for the
Baby Rath is definitely staging a
comeback.
"On the other hand," Kenfield
adds, "I'm haying fan here, so what
th'heck?" ,
The short, affable, rotund fellow
might add that he hasn't lost his busi
ness sense 'altogether. His sporting
shop downtown buys bread, butter, and
baked beans just like a coaching salary
does.
Actually, economic considerations
need not be discussed here. Rather, we
mean to dwell on John F.'s accomplish
ments while instructing in the net
sport A few years after he came to
Carolina, Kenfield had Bitsy Grant
nd Wilmer Hines on his hands. Any
one who can distinguish between a
baseball diamond and a tennis court
can tell you who those two gentlemen
are. And, among others, Ed Yoe
manns, Eddie Fuller, Ramsay -Potts,
and Archie Henderson developed here.
Coach Kenfield recalls with pleasure
bis 1930 team. "Ah, that was a gang,"
be sighs. "Grant and Hines were both
on it, and we slaughtered everybody."
For that matter, from 1928

HODGES BEATS
BELMONT, 10-2
By Harry Hollingsworth
- Howard Hodges pitched ball that he
has demonstrated himself capable in
practice sessions and set the Belmont
high school team down with five hits
yesterday afternoon as the Carolina
frosh tapered off their batting eyes
with a , 10-hit-lO-run slaughter in
preparation for their game with the
Duke Blue Imps this afternoon. The
final tally showed that Belmont had
been successful in getting two runs.

given evidence that he may be one
of the few known men to hit a ball

out two long triples, one of which
would have been a home run had there
been a base, coach to send him home.
Although the frosh committed four
errors, the infield came to life on
three occasions to ' complete double
plays and ' stif fie brooding rallies.
Hodges started one, Johny Hearn an
other, and Tommy Oswald the third.

Indians To Play
Loyola Squad At
Baltimore Today
BALTIMORE, April 26. Caro
lina's Indians arrived in Baltimore
late tonight, prepared to give Loyola
university's crack lacrossemen plenty
of fight tomorrow at three o'clock on
Loloya field. The Indians, who lost
a rough battle to Duke yesterday
minus the services of four of their
first-stringers, goalie Bill Darden,
Bronco Remy, Milt Harris, and Co
captain Fred Berdan, have these
boys back but the May Frolics claim
ed Bill Broadfoot and big Gates Kim
ball. The Indians will find the going
plenty rough when they line up oppo
site the Loyolas, because Loyola is
situated in the perennial hotbed of
lacrosse. Lacrosse first saw the light
of day in Baltimore, the first game
being played in 1811. Year after
year the nation's number one team
comes from the vicinity of Baltimore.
This year is no exception, for Loyola's
lacrossemen are now fighting to over
shadow the south's Maryland Old
liners and "the East's Army for the
leadership in college circles.
Co-captain Coleman Finkel, whose
fine performance was one of the few
bright spots for the Indians in their
loss to Duke yesterday, has some
five yards of tape around his injured
midriff and is ready to go the limit
against Loyola. Also the other Co-
captain, Fred Berdan, is in excellent
shape and will probably get the' call
at defense along with Milt Harris.
How They Line-up
The Indians line-up will probably
consist of Bill Darden at the Goal,
Bronco Remy at cover point, Johnny
Singletary at point, Dan Desich and

TEAM OF EX-UKC
GREATS THROWS
MEET IN DOUBT
By Leonard Lobred
The Carolina freshmen had an easy
time winning the Junior AAU meet
yesterday, but the varsity Tar Heels
will be pressed by Duke and a team of
Carolina grads this afternoon in the
Senior AAU competition starting at 3
o'clock at Fetzer field.
The Tar Heels defeated Duke, 72 H
to 58H, in their meeting last week, but
when the Tar Heel Athletic club, made
up of Carolina graduates, begins cut
ting into the team totals, any of the
three teams has a good chance of win-

COLLEGE PARK, McL, April 26
Carolina's baseball team made it two
straight over Maryland here today, 2
to 0, although Red Benton, the Tar
Heel hurler, was outpitched by "Persh
ing Mondorff. Both are husky right
handers. Earlier in the season North
Carolina defeated Maryland at Chapel
Hill, 8 to 7, in 11 innings. Carolina
plays Navy at Annapolis tomorrow.
George Ralston will probably pitch.
Maryland slammed Benton for eight
hits while Mondorff allowed only four,
but the Tar Heels played faultlessly
afield, being brilliant at times, while
the Terps made four miscues and had
some mental lapses.
Carloina's first run, in the second
inning, which proved to be enough to
win the game, was earned, however.
Mallory started with a single, but was
forced by Reynolds who in turn was
forced by Jennings. A theft put Jen
nings on second, and he counted on
Rich's single.
Some sloppy work gave the Tar
Heels their final marker in the fourth.
McHale's error gave Mallory a life,
and he went all the way to third on
his steal when Burns threw past sec
ond. Rich then walked, and after he
had been caught between the bases,
