Ca-Vel’s baseball team, nearing the season’s end, are pro
bably speculating where the company will send them on
their annual trip. It has always been the custom of the com
pany to give the team a trip, all expenses paid, following the
baseball season each fall. This year, should St. Louis overtake
Cincinnati and go into the Series, no finer gesture could be
made than to allow the boys to watch their former teammate,
who right now is cutting quite a few capers for the high fly
ing St. Louis team, in the Series. The Cards as this is being
written are four and a half games behind the league leaders
gOuig like a house afire. If they can maintain the torrid pace,
the pennant will be theirs. But then, there s that unpredict
able “if.” Who can tell?

Eddie Dooley’s Illustrated Football Annual reached local
news stands this week and as usual brings the latest dope
from coast to coast. Not unexpected was the Annual’s pre
diction of Duke, Carolina, Clemson and V. M. I. as in the
top bracket of the Southern Conference and in that order.
Duke figured from any angle is bound to have a top-notch
outfit and, although the 1939 record will still be eclipsed by
last year’s performance, they stand a good chance of repeat
ing for conference honors with only the Tar Heels likely to
cnallenge seriously that supremacy. The Tar Heels look to be
more balanced than ever before but “Even so,’ Wolf says,
“we might lose two or three games. Some of the others may
show more improvement than we.” The Tar Heels if possess
ed of the right inspiration might whip the Devils but playing
safe with the percentage the Dukes get the nod. We’ll save
our prediction for later in the season however.
Os the Tar Heels, the Annual has this to say: “With the
cleverest array of passers and receivers in Carolina annals,
Wolf is figuring on heavy traffic down the airways. There’s
George Stimweiss going into his third season as a brilliant
quarterback with All-American possibilities; Jim “Sweet”
Laianne, the soph sensation of ’3B, and Frank O'Hare, a jack
rabbit rookie from New York City, who will understudy the
two. So sweetly has the Stimweiss-Lalanne combination per
formed in passing-catching roles, with either doing the
chunking, that Wolf is planning to use the two in the same
backfield set, with Sid Sadoff and George Radman to provide
heavy-duty blocking and run occasional foot-races with the
ball.”

CA-VEL SUFFERS
5-0 WHITE WASH
Ca-Vel’s battering boys of base
ball took another shellacking at
the hands of Burlington’s Mc-
Ewen Saturday in a game which
ended 5-0.
A fellow by the name cf Mil
ten, who claims no relation to
the famous English bard of an
cient days, had things pretty
much his owrf way on the Burl
ington mound, effectively silen-j
cing the usually potent bats of
Briggs. Slaughter. Shotwell and
company, who usually handle the
slugging department for Ca-Vel.
Howard Anders, capable third
baseman of the locals, was the
only Ca-Vel player able to get
more than a single hit off of
Milton. He hit safely twice in
three trips to the rubber.
Pacing McEwen’s nine hit at
tack off Ca-Vel’s Bowles were
Frazier and Roach, who counted
for three safeties apiece, one of
Frazier’s going for a double.
Both teams played errorless
ball afield with McEwen, Frazier
to Tysinger to Crotts, contribut
ing a sparkling double play for
the day’s record.

THIS ONE QUIET
Greystone’s Graniteers again
proved too hard for Ca-Vel to
crack Tuesday afternoon and the
locals went down in a 10-5 ava
lanche at Ca-Vel Park.
Flanked by former Carolina
players and Semora and State
College’s own Clinton Winstead,
the Henderson outfit was vir
tually too hot for Ca-Vel to han
dle.
The visitors hit three Ca-Vel
pitchers, Humphries, Bowles and
j Blanks almost at will with Blanks
! proving most effective of the
trio. He entered the game in the
sixth when Bowles went haywire
and allowed less than one hit an
inning the rest of the way.
Byrd started for Greystone,
weakened in the fifth, and gave
v.-ay to big Henry Feimster, Caro,
lina Freshman star, who toyed
with the Ca-Vel batters the rest
of the distance.
Roberson and Branch, with
three hits apiece, were most ef
fective at the plate. Howard An
ders clouted a long home run for
Ca-Vel.
Clinton Winstead handled sev
eral nice chances in left field for
the visitors and cracked out a
long triple in his single hit of the
day.

will begin a playoff series with
the first of three games Saturday.
Helena will entertain Hillsboro
at Helena park at 3:30 o’clock
while Erwin Auditorium and By
num are tangling in the other en.
gagement. Winners of each three
game series will later play for
the league championship.
Helena has played consistent
baseball during the entire sea
son and, with Erwin Auditorium,
has alternated at holding the lea
gue leadership. This factor makes
the Person County team a strong
favorite for the pennant.
Manager Merritt Chambers of
the Helena team has indicated he
will send Lefty Nathaniel Hicks,
ace of the mound corps, to the
box in the series opener Satur
day. Barton will handle the re
ceiving end of the battery.
