- Angle The Race Is On The 1939 baseball season, the centennial of the great national pastime, made its debut in Cincinnati Monday, in several other Major league towns Tuesday and in the Pied mont yesterday- All of which adds up to nothing except that the grand old game of baseball is being played all ar °und these days and everybody’s happy about the whole thing. The openers were typical, the crowds were as usual and the usual number of oddities crowded their way into the day’s pro gram. With the fanfare and accompanying ceremonies of season openers now a matter for the records, Mr. Average Fan can settle back with his two bags of peanuts and wait for the Umpire’s “Batter Up” or else jump through the write ups to the box score for the actual details in the event he stayed at home. Now all joking’s aside for managers and club owners- The race is on. What Happened Here ...... This writer was recently asked what became of the medals and trophies which were to have been presented following the county high school basketball tournament here last winter. It seems sev eral medals for highest tour nament scorer for girls boys, best all-around girl or boy or some such designations were offered but never pre sented. Os course there might have been a number of reasons such Tar Heels Need Pitching Surprise team in college circles this year is Coach Bunn Hearn’s Carolina nine, who with Duke and Wake Forest ap pear to be the class of both state and conference. Os course this is being written before the Tar Heel - Deacon clash in Roanoke Rapids Tuesday afternoon. The entire color of the situation may be changed by this time- The Tar Heels, I believe, have the best balanced infield as well as the best catcher in the league. Their outfield, all things considered, is pretty good and compares favorably with others in the state. However in the important matter of pitch ing, Carolina takes the cake for being the weakest. There’s been a dearth of hurlers on the Carolina campus for years. Bud Hudson, the Tar Heel’s No- 1, pitches his heart out but has little on the ball except control. Hal Bissett is the best fielding college first baseman, I’ve ever seen, while Top ins and Stimweiss from a keystone combination that the ma jor league scouts are eyeing warily. George Nethercutt is tops behind the plate. Look out for the Tar Heels if they can get the pitching. Might Have Sum’pin Here Dr- Hugh Beam and a num ber of others who are taking their golf game pretty serious around herftttlwse days think it would be a good idea to or ganize tjip “duffers” or those golfers whose game runs a round the 100 mark or above in order that they can get to gether to play each other as ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS.
