PERSON^ to'-JOihl SLANTS By J. S. MERRITT o—o—o—o Special Composition Don’t you worry, don’t you fret Enos will get a few hits yet Right now he is off his stride But before long he will take them for a ride. | , It’s hard to get a hit each day But Enos is in the big leagues to stay He’s worth the Cardinals’ money any time We’ll bet on the Person boy even if this is a poor rhyme. o—o— 0 0 “Bolo” With Redskins ■ ■ ■ ■■ -■*- ftRUUWD (SOt*C>) 'PEB.WB For the first time in history Duke University will be represented on the Washington Redskins professional foot ball team this season. The Redskins have announced the signing of Willard (Bolo) Perdue, outstanding end of the Blue Devils for the past two years. At the same time it was also announced that another North Carolina boy will be playing with the Red skins this coming year, Charles (Chuck) Slagle, University jf North Carolina guard, having also signed a 1940 contrai Perdue, a rotund figure, is best remembered in the Tar Heel State for blocking a Pittsburgh kick in the last min utes of their game in 1938, whcih enabled Duke to defeat the Panthers, 7 to 0, and go into the Rose Bowl undefeated, un tied and unscored on. > Slagle comes to the Redskins highly recommended by : Henry Bartos, a member of the 1938 Redskins and now line : coach at North Carolina. ] —o—o-o Mangum Resigns Baxter Mangum manager and coach of the Ca-Vel ball team ,has resigned his position at Collins and Aikman. This ; news was read with regrets by many baseball fans in this section last week. Since Mangum has been in charge at Ca- 1 Vel he has done much for the ball team. His team has been good year after year and he has sent several players into higher company. Enos Slaughter of the Cardinals is the best example- Coach Mangum did everything possible to have a win ning team. He worked with the boys and was popular with all the players. Each year he produced a good combination. It will be hard to find a man to take his place. o o —0 0 Sport Shorts s i Rain and more rain hampered the sports program in this county last week ....

Schacht, who has not been here Tr several years, has entertain ed millions of fans during the the world’s series and at ball parks all over the United States find Canada. He has a style of buffoonery all his own and gives a hearty, laugh-provoking exhibition prior to the game. He is one icf the cleverest pantomime artists in the amusement field today, and the fact that he was formerly a professional pitcher and coach in the majors and minors, makes his show particularly adaptable to baseball. This past spring, Schacht went to Florida training camps along with the baseball clubs, having twlo objects in mind. Working the way he does, he must be in as good physical condition as the players, and he spent much of his time in the south “getting in shape”. Then, too, he had some new ideas along the stunt lines that he wanted to try out. Perfecting the routine lof these acts, he ap peared before the spring exhibi tion crowds in Florida to test the reaction of the fans to his per formance. The stunts that went over best were selected for the program he will put on during his Durham engagement. He clowned to please a big crowd at Tampa before the spring all-star game of the two major leagues put on for the Finnish relief fund. The famous clown of the dia. mond, who has been in vaudeville and who toured with Mile Su sanne Lenglen, the French tennis star, is lone of the greatest side shows in baseball and packs ’em in wherever he plays. He will start stunting at 2:30 during his local engagement, with the ball game getting under way at 3 p. m. o Clinton Winstead Has High Rating For Past Season Greenville, Miay 31 Clinton “Windy” Winstead, Roxboro boy and ECTC junior, who played three positions on Coach Bo Far-] ley’s East Carolina Teachers col-, lege baseball squad this season, has a batting average of .481. During the season just ended Winstead received assignments on the mound, in certerfield and be hind* the plate. While a student in Roxboro high school Winstead played foot ball and baseball; and was active jin these same sports at State college before he transferred to ECTC. This summer he will play with the Southern Virginia league team at Emporia, Va. Winstead’s batting average and playing ability are equalled only by his fine sportsmanship.
