Tom Fore Making
Good In Vero
Beach Training Camp
Tom Fore, the Canton product
who broke into organized base
ball at the latter part of last sea
son with the Asheville Tourists,
is.making a big impression on the
Vero Beach. Fla., training camp
directors and manager.-.
The lanky, 22-year- >1.1 out
ielder. who roamed the centertie 1 d
garedn for Tom Younv's WCTC
Catamount last spring. is a
fellow who hits often and hard.
Considered a good prospect when
he hooked on with Bitt Sayles'
Tourists, Tom is a sure bet to
stick in organized ball this year.
Among other things, the Canton
boy has a natural build for an out
lielder, he is tall, has good hands,
moves fast, and has a good eye for
the apple.
Under the watchful eye of the
great Peuuer Martin. Tom is work
ing well in the sliding pit. The ex
perts like the way he hooks the
bag.
Taking a shot at Tom's future in
baseball, we see him r.sing through
the minors because we know that
he is ambitious and will give his
ball playing everything he has, and
he has plenty.

With local sports a little on the
dead now and your sportswriter
taking a breather during the lull
between the basketball and base
ball seasons, we've decided to give
you a look at the professional side
of spcrts for a while. As a feature
each week, we've decided to do an
article on one baseball club from
each the American and the National
leagues. We will still keep our
readers poste i on local sports.
The We-'.crn Carolina Teachers'
baseball opens up Friday
against : ?. Lenoir-Rhyne Bears.
It's the of a 20-game sched
ule wit *i-ri of them to be played

beat ' e Brooklyn Dodgers in the
Wo:.-:'- Series last October it was
the:. li:h championship out of 15
per. . :;t wins in 28 years?an in
comparable record.
Farmer heavyweight champion1
Mix Schmeling, the German who
.?nee knocked out Joe Louis, is now
at the age of 43 trying to make a
comeback in professional ? boxing
and is trying to come to this coun
try for an, exhibition tour. He
may or may not be allowed this
chance.
Zeb Eaton, who was up in the
majors as a pitcher with the De
troit Tigers during the war, is
back in the big time again this
year. But not as a pitcher. He is
up with Connie Mack's Philadel
phia Athletics as an outfielder on
the strength of his .359 batting
average with Birmingham last
year.
