Ihe kids are catching up with the wartime major leaguers who have been playing in the minors. The youngsters will run a lot of those players out of there. Our league was tilled with wartime players last year," says Shag Shaughnessy is preparing for his 12th season as International i.eague boss. 1 1 is circuit inaugu rates its firith campaign April 22 I ve made iwo pleasing obser vations on what I've .seen this spring." says Shag. "The young sters are going to take charge in the majors before long and two of the clubs thaf will profit by youth are the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Phillies. They have youth in their farm system and in about two years you'll see both clubs coming up with strong young teams." Shaughnessy believes "about a dozen" International League rook ies will make the grade in the ma jors this season. "Dick Whitman and the Negro boy. Hoy C'ampanel la, should make it with the Dodg ers," says Shag. "There isn't a ball player in our league who can out hustle Whitman. He's not a terrific hitter or fieldeY but has plenty of hustle Campanella is a pretty good hitter and catcher." Both Whitman and Cainmpanella starred for Montreal last season. "Others who should stick," says Shag, "are Allie Clark of Newark, Nippy Jones of .Rochester, Hank Saner and Howie Fox of Syracuse, Tom Stallcup of Jersey City, Ray Pont of Baltimore and Art Houtte man, Neil Berry, Walter Pierce and Ted Gray of Buffalo." Clark was up with the Yankees, hut was dealt to Cleveland; Jones is with the Cardinals, Sauer, Fox and Stallcup with Cincinnati, Poat with Joe McCarthy: He's Tight Lipped SAKASOTA, Fla Joe McCar thy's big problem as manager of the Boston Red Sox is not Ted Williams but the sports writers. And the sports writers' big eon rein is Marse Joe. McCarthy is as tight-lipped as ever. Here are a few examples; "How does it feel to be back?" "Must 1 go through that again?" said McCarthy. "Is there any difference in this camp than In the Yankee camps?" "Well, the Yankees always wore white uniforms," was his reply. "How long will it take you to deride on whether Johnny Pesky or Vernon Stephens plays short stop"' That one drew a cold stare be fore Marse Joe answered: "Any thing you get from me must be gotten at our meetings after workouts. As a matter of fact you didn't belong in here. The meet ing was for Boston newspaper men." McCarthy was politely informed that the Boston writers asked this: writer to sit in. "Oh," replied Mc-1 Carthy. It's nice of Joe to protect I l JfMuSt- fit? I L -WN I if l fh. Xs i Blue Caps Take 8-6 Decision Over Brevard The WaynesviUe Blue Caps de feated the colored team at Brevard last Sunday 8 to 6, and this Sun- jday will play at Andrews. i All of the boys played wefl, in spite of a rough field, and-hitting was even better than expected. The ivounn i:-ycar-oiu ngnt nanaer, William Body, pitched the Brst live innings in his first time on th mound in a real game, being re lieved by T. .1. Norman. ' On Ihe Blue Caps lineup, in ad dition to the pitchers, were James Casey. Jacob Lenoir, Edward Wheeler, Milliard Gibbs, William WaynesviUe Will Give Bears First Test Of Year Amnions and Miller Are Likely Mounds men as Haywood Rivals Square Off If the sun is able to break through those assorted clouds that Popeye and Olive Oil have been pushing off the weatherman's ver anda the past few days and dry up the playing field, WaynesviUe and Canton's high school baseball teams will let go at each other this after noon, about 3 o'clock, on the Black Bear diamond. Canton's scheduled game with Ben Lippen earlier this week was rained out, and this will be the opener for Coach Poindexter's nine. He is expected to put his best foot forward, in moundsman Clyde Mil ler, getting off to a right start as the Bears open defense of their Blue Ridge conference crown. The Mountaineers have one round of competition under their belt, and in spite of a 1-0 loss to Franklin showed the knack of field ing a ball-snagging defensive team. To beat Canton's highly rated com bination, the Weatherby-coached boys know they'll have to get hat with the bat. Jack Amnions, who tossed four hit ball against Franklin, will likely get the nod lo start in this one, Coach Weatherby said th,? choice would be between Ammonr and portslder Boyce Brock The Mountaineers stand two deep in all positions now, and the second stringers are shoving up well enough to keep the starters on their toes. Waynesville's substitulj infield includes Bobby Robinson. Derle Davis, Don Whisenhunt au.i James Bell, with B J Craig be hind the plate, and outfielders Ted White, George Guriett, Jam. s Fu gate and Jimmy Kuykendail.

"Regulations controlling the take of game birds and animals should be designed to divide the harvestabie surplus equally among all citizens who desire to partici pate in this fine outdoor sport," Mr. Patton states. "It must be remembered that breeding stock for next year's sea son must be saved if we are to per petuate the species and the sport.

"Jones may make it at first base with the Cardinals," says Shaugh nessy. "Sauer with the Reds is a real pull hitter. He blasted 50 homers for Syracuse. Sometimes he gets moody. He has real pow er at the plate. Stallcup meant a lot to Jersey City. For a while the team was playing .500 ball and a month later they were 25 games over .500.
