THE DAILY TAR HEEL
PAGETHREH
A
By Ben McKinnon
Paul V. McNutt, substituting for President Roosevelt who was
down Mexico way, tossed out the ball for the opening of the Ma
jor League baseball season Tuesday and on Wednesday every
team in the National and American league had a game scheduled.
Major League baseball this year is not the same, but neither is
anything else. However, the fact that the baseball moguls are
trying to continue the "great American pastime" this year should
deserve a large hand for them. Many players are going to be
drafted before the season is over and many a coach is going to be
disappointed. On the other side the majority of big league ball
players have dependents and will be allowed to continue this oc
cupation. Let's hope so anyhow.
Prominent on major league ball clubs this year, as always, are
many ball players who hail from the Tar Heel state.
The Worlds champion St. Louis Cardinals naturally head the
list-and, brother, there are plenty of North Carolinians on that
roster. Jimmy Brown of Jamesville is captain of the team and the
sparkplug. Also on hand are: Max Lanier, pitcher from Denton;
Sam Narron, catcher from Middlesex; Coaker Triplett, outfielder
from Boone. One of last year's stars was Enos Slaughter, the
slugger from Roxboro.
Continuing with the National League we have:
Brooklyn Dodgers: Rube Melton, pitcher from Gastonia.
Cincinnati Reds: No players from North Carolina listed.
Chicago Cubs: No. Carolina players are not on this club either
The Philadelphia Phillies do not have any players on the roster
from North Carolina. From South Carolina, Tom Liveingston,
catcher.
New York Giants: William Voisell, pitcher from Ninety-Six,
James Maynard, outfielder from Henderson and Howard Moss,
outfielder from Gastonia. Van Mungo, pitcher is from Pageland,
South Carolina.
Pittsburg Pirates: Hank Gornicki, pitcher from Argura, John
Lanning, pitcher from Asheville; William Baker, catcher from
Woodleaf .
Boston Braves: Leading the alphabetical list is Nate Andrews,
pitcher, from Rowland; Clyde Kluttz, a catcher, is from Salisbury.
Transferring to the American League we also find the Tar Heel
state well represented.
Leading the list on the roster of the American League cham
pions, the New York Yankees, is George Stirnweiss, infielder, who
is not from North Carolina but who cares. He stayed in the state
long enough to give us a crackerjack football and baseball team.
The Detroit Tigers are without the services of a native North
Carolinian at present.
With the Cleveland Indians we find Alfred Dean, a pitcher, who
hails from Mt. Airy.
The Chicago White Sox are well represented with Lee Ross, a
pitcher from Norwood ; Jacob Wade, another pitcher, from More-
head City, Richard Culler, infielder, from High Point and Ralph
Hodgin, an outfielder, who is from Guilford College.
The St. Louis Browns have only one from this state. He is Rick
Ferrell, the catcher, and is well known to sports fans. Rick is from
Wilmington.
The Boston Red Sox have a number of Carolina players. Mace
Brown, the pitcher who won 9 and lost 3 last year, is from Greens
boro. Heber Newsome, another pitcher, is from Ahoskie. John
Peacock hails from Fremont and is a catcher.
With the Washington Senators, we find Rae Scarborough from
Mount Olive, who is a pitcher and Earl Wynn, also a pitcher, from
Morganton. Heading the list of catchers is Jake Early of Kings
Mountain and Donald Barbary from Simpsonville. Patrolling the
garden in Washington will be found speedy Stan Spence from
Kinston.
For the first time in many years there are no North Carolina
players on the Philadelphia Athletics roster.
If anybody is industrious enough, pick an all star team of North
Carolina players and I will print it with your name in the next
column, and whatever you do, make Jimmy Brown captain.
Many thanks to Paul Nolan for helping me gather and assimi
late the above material.
Men of Mullis Win 2-1 In Ten
Innings
Spotless Record at Stake
Coach John Kenf ield's spotless
record against Duke tennis teams
will be at stake when the Blue
Devils and the Tar Heels meet
in a Big Five and Southern con
ference clash here this afternoon.
Since Coach John took over the
coaching reins in 1928, Caroli
na's netmen have scored double
triumphs over their traditional
foe each season. The Blue Devils,
while still no ball of fire, form a
well-rounded outfit capable of
giving the favorites a true test
of their assumed superiority.
Feature
The feature attraction of the
day will pit Captain Harold
Maass against Duke captain Ray
Nasher. Representing the Tar
Heel end of the No 2 affair will
be Ray Morris. Jack Markham,
who scored one of Carolina's two
singles victories over Navy will
be at No. 3, with Moyer Hendrix
at the fourth position. Larry Ca-
hall, holder of one of the best in
dividual records on the squad, is
due to start from the No. 5 posi
tion, and either Dan Marks or
Don Peck will battle at the No. 6
post.
The doubles teams will pair

Fly By James
Drives Home
Winning Run
By Lloyd S. Koppel
Walter James sizzling fly to
centerfield drove in the winning
run in yesterday's Men of Mul-
lis-Sigma Nu exhibition, and
broke up a tight sof tball contest
that went ten innings before the
Physical Education youths
emerged victorious, 2-1.
The ball game featured stellar
hurling by Conger and Mullis,
which kept the game hitless and
scoreless for the first seven
frames.
Eighth Inning
Sigma Nu broke the ice in the
top half of the eighth, when two
runs, a fielder's choice and an
error drove in the loser's lone
tally. Mathes and James pushed
across a tying run in the last
half of the eighth, however, and
the ball game ran into the tenth
stanza before James again came
through to drive in the winning
run.
The Sigma Nu's bunched their
three hits off Mullis into the
eventful eighth' to score only one
run, but throughout the game
proved themselves to be the
most formidable opposition met
by the Mullis outfit in two years.
"Last Chances"
Scoring two runs in the third,
and holding BVP down to one
run and one hit, the NROTC
"Last Chances' broke the spot
less dormitory team's record,
2-1. Henderson and Strayhorn
copped the game's batting hon
ors, while Webb is credited with
the loser's only base knock.
The Phi Delts ran all over Phi
Gam No. 2, 22-6, in a heavy hit
ting contest called at the end of
the sixth inning in accord with
intramural rules. Anthony and
Rouse were the winner's top hit
ters with Bissette leading the
losers.
ATO
Bouncing back from their
crushing defeat at the hands of
Kappa Sig, the ATOs scored
seven runs in the first two in
nings to top Pi Kappa Alpha,
7-6.
The Pikas had bases full in
the last half of the seventh.
They were one run behind, and
had one man out, when Hartley
made the last two men pop up
harmlessly. Bishop led the ATOs
in hitting, while Capel shone for
the losers.

Wake Forest All-Star Team
The Carolina "B" team will
seek revenge when it plays a re
turn game with Wake Forest at
Emerson Stadium this afternoon
at 5 p. m.
Coach "Chubby" Myers led his
lads through a peppy practice
which included batting and in
field drill. At the bat the boys
swung from their heels and pow
dered the pellet all over the dia
mond. Both Andrews and Galin
kin hit the horsehide frequently
and distantly. Some of Andrews
drives dropped on to distant Fet
zer Field.
Afield the boys worked

for the winners, aided by Bed

Sigma Chi beat TEP, 5-3, and

Family Scrap
In a family game between
NROTC No. 2 and the "Bums,"
the No. 2 team capitalized on
smoothly and efficiently. Cran-
ford, Stevenson, and Dean shone
in the infield while Kirkland
covered a lot of ground in the
center pasture.

er for Carolina, seemed to be in
fine shape and the game this af

Eight Runs
Scored During
Fourth Frame
By Bob Goldwater
Two big innings proved more
than enough for the home forces
yesterday as the Tar Heels slug
ged their way to a 15-4 triumph
over Davidson in a contest fea
tured by five Carolina extra-base
knocks, including a round-tripper
by hurler Bob Shuford.
The Tar Heels sent nine men
,to the plate in a third-inning up
rising and came back in the
fourth to double their previous
output, with 12 players coming
to bat. In both frames, all the
scoring came with two outs.
Going into the third, down one
run, Whitey Black walked with
one gone and reached third on
successive steals. Lew Hay
worth fanned, but the four
straight knocks that followed
meant a like number of markers.
Dub Johnson started the proces
sion with a triple to left center.
Jack Hussey scored Dub with a
single and came around himself
on another long triple, down the
left-field line by Frank Wide-
man. A Texas leaguer by Rivers
Johnson brought in Wideman
with the fourth tally.
Eight Runs Across
Carolina's most terrific out
burst of runs in a single stanza
this season came in the fourth.
With two outs and Black again
on base by virtue of a free pass
and steal, Dub Johnson clouted
another triple, this time, just to
be different, over the right-field
er's head. Hussey hit his second
single to drive in Dub and went
around to third on Wideman's
two-bagger. Rivers Johnson sent
Hussey home and Mack Morris
did likewise with Wideman. Riv
ers scored the fifth run of the
frame on an error and Bill Lee
drove in Morris to make the
count 10-1. Shuford walked and
Black smacked a single into cen
ter that was good for three bases
and two runs in.
In tha meantime, the Wildcats
were not faring too well. They
counted one in the third on Tom
my Peters' single to give them
a very short-lived lead. In the
slashing homer in order to beat
their fellow sea-goers, 17-6.
Schlesinger was the game's star,
driving in six runs, while Rankin
paced the "Bums."
Kappa Alpha forfeited to the
Betas, and Phi Chi failed to ap
pear, presenting the "Misfits"
with an unearned victory.
